    Thank you! The program is good, it's a lot of work so be prepared. I can't tell you anything about the 1st year since as I said I didn't do it, the lpn bridge program is a 3 week program over the...

    Sheryl18 replied to lilmama10211's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I don't really know what the lowest GPA was, mine was a 4.0 and I had an A+ in A&P I & II & Micro, which I had heard they look at the sciences with more weight. I would say anything above...

    Sheryl18 replied to lilmama10211's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am in the last semester right now, but I didn't do the 1st year because I did the LPN bridge program so I don't really know for sure where the fundamental and maternity/pedi students have clinical,...

    Sheryl18 replied to thenewSem's topic in LPN to RN

    I just finished my bridge summer course and took 4 or 5 ATI tests and they were pretty much the same thing as I did in LPN school, I don't remember if they were the same questions, I don't remember...

  12. Difficulty reading handwritten orders?

    Sheryl18 replied to KRODD's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This happens quite a bit to me too, I always ask another nurse and if I have to I call the Dr to clarify. I'd rather call and ask than guess. I really wish they would write neater or type their...

    Sheryl18 replied to NoahscoopsRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Congratulations!!!

  17. Medication administration

    Sheryl18 replied to Evette Walker's topic in Patient Medications

    You say you are "giving" them the meds, what do you mean by that? You have to be careful that you aren't administering. You are signing off just that you reminded them to take their meds not that you...

    Sheryl18 replied to 1969's topic in General Students

    One of my clincial instructors said she always asks the woman to give a little cough when your trying to find it and while she's coughing you can usually find it, not sure what happens as I didn't get...

  22. When is a good time to take the PN NCLEX?

    Sheryl18 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I took NCLEX just over a month after graduation, I did the ATI review and I had the Saunders review book and used that to study. We had some people take it in 2 weeks and they did good, as soon as...

  23. LVN to B.A. in Gerontology?

    Sheryl18 replied to bcktoschool's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would think you would still have the same opportunities that you have now with your LVN license now. Where is it that you would like to work? I don't think it will hurt you at all to do it if it's...

    Sheryl18 replied to Katie71275's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  25. prerequisite courses for LPN

    Sheryl18 replied to faithfl's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    It depends on which school you go to, some LPN courses include basic chemistry and biology in their curriculum (without a lab) and others don't and require you to have it I think. Your best bet is...
