Yesterday I had my advising session at the college I applied to get my RN at. I graduated in 2010 with my LPN Diploma at the same college. Hoped to get started this coming spring, thought all I needed was the HESI exam to get in. Turns out they ha...

During my schooling for LPN I worked weekends as a CNA at a local nursing home, but I only worked between 5-8hrs every other weekend. I do not have any children yet but there were several in my class that did as well as a co-worker who worked full t...

Now I will be on the site even more!!

Hey everyone. I am a fairly new LPN grad. Been working at a long-term care facility here in Iowa. Wondering if it would be a good idea for me to carry some type of insurance? Also, if so, what companies are good to go through? Thank You :)

Thanks everyone!!

I hated the PDA that was required last year for our school it was slow and so many students had problems with theirs freezing up or not even turning on. This year they upgraded and now we use nursing central, i downloaded it on my ipod touch and lov...

At Iowa Lakes Community College we wear blue scrub top with a white shirt underneath along with white pants and white shoes.

I took my course when I was a Jr. in HS, which was 4 yrs ago. It was a 75 hr course with 4 days of 6hr clinical. I don't feel we had much hands on experience, we only had one resident to take care of.

I start my second semester LPN Jan. 14. So ready to get back at it :) good luck to everyone :)

I work as a CNA and it was time for 10PM night rounds at the nursing home we work at. Anyway it's said that there is a ghost of a resident that died quite a few years ago and she looks like a resident we had at the time this happened. A call light ...

I'm from Iowa and we do ATI. I like the books we got for another resource, but I hate having to be online so many hours a week and take certain tests when I really should be studying for the chapters where doing in class. I don't think it really re...

I am a second semester student. I enjoyed the first semester. I don't have a lot to tell you for experience since I am just a second semester student, but many of the other students in my class where married and had families or were single parents. T...
