This is the same reason I did LPN too. I don't regret it at all.

OMG my stomach noises have always been my issue in school. Is so embarrassing especially when I have to take a test. My stomach makes lion noises even after I eat 24/7. I get anxious and I have to rush through my exams because of my stomach..I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one...lol

Thanks for all the information. I decided not to go to CAN for my RN. I have all my prereqs and as you said they won't take them. I'm looking to get in to Rasmussen. I have to take the TEAS in December. They told me they will take 74 of my credits all I have to complete is 44 more credits. I started working as a LPN and not knowing my schedule will be an issue. Every time I asked them about the schedule they couldn't give me a straight answer. With Rasmussen there's no Friday class. Sorry you wasted your time and money. Do you know where you are going to attend?

I thought Rasmussen was regionally acredited. I did took the TEAS and got an overall score of 67% at PHCC but I'm not sure if I can use that score or I would have to retake it. I took it a year ago.

I'm also applying to Rasmussen in Tampa. I just scheduled to take the TEAS in December 14 so that should give me enough time to study. I don't have to take the step test so I just need to focus on the TEAS. I have taken the TEAS twice a few years ago and failed. I have all my per req completed and I'm also an LPN. Classes start in April 2013. For Rasmussen we are only allow to take the TEAS once per year. So if I don't pass in December I have next year to try again but I'm positive That I will pass. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I'm a new LPN and just took a job 40 miles from my home. It takes me about 1 hr to get to work and back. Being a new nurse is hard to find a job so I won't complain..I'm just happy I got a job.

They were looking for a full time nurse and I emailed them telling them that I was interested but was going to attend school and could only work weekends. I thought they wouldn't be interested but they emailed me back 5 hours later and told me that would be fine and gave me an interview the next day and hired me on the spot...I been smiling since then..

I'm so excited! I will start working for a Children Medical Center as a phone triage nurse. They are giving me one day a week so I can go to school for my RN. I'll start my training Monday. I will work full time until November. Is a hour commute from my house but is worth it!!!! ANybody else does triage?

I finished reading Chicken Soup for Nurse's, it was a great book. Now I'm reading The Nurses Story which I'm loving it but I'm almost finish. Any other books you can recommend while I apply for LPN jobs?

I took my PN NCLEX 2 weeks ago and the trick works. It did not let me register and I passed. My classmates have been doing the trick and they had passed too. I believe in the trick 100%. If is letting you register most likely you failed. I'm sorry

I'm from FL and I just got my license. I been looking for a job since July but no one calls me. I paid $19,000 for my LPN and I'm planning to start the bridge program in November, that will cost me $26,000 more.. I'm getting a little depress about not being able to find a job. Good luck

I read Kaplan Nclex pn.. The trick works!!! I checked this morning the Board of Nursing and it said I pass!!!!!!!!

Thanks, I finished in 1 hour and completed 90 questions. I had a lot of SATA, which had me really nervous. There were a few meds questions that I had never heard before. There were some OB and Peds questions. I had like 4 calculation questions. I studied the Kaplan book, which was excellent! In addition, I answered about 100 questions a day from the saunder CD... I have to say, I have no idea how I passed it but I was thrilled and crying when I saw the good pop up !

Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time. This is the pop came up when I did the trick... I started crying....Does it mean I passed?

Wish me luck! Today is the day in which I take the boards and I'm so nervous! As soon as I get home I will do the Pearson trick..

I used the white Danskos. They are expensive but are the best most comfortable shoes there is for nursing. They are durable and worth it. Make sure you purchase a size bigger. You have to get used to them. I started wearing them when I had class all day and then I started using them for clinicals.

Stay positive you can do this. I'm studying for the NCLEX too. I have to pay the fee next week and mail my application. I want to take it within a month or two. I want to read the whole Saunder book and practice as many questions as I can from the CD. I want to make sure I'm ready before taking it.

Pharmacology was the hardest class for me. I had *** teaching it and she was really good. On the 3rd qrt Each class is 4 weeks and is very intense. I had no life...but the 4th qrt was the best, it was more of a review and things started to make sense. Hang in there Nursing Pride, time will fly by really fast after the second qrt..

I just graduated as a LPN but not working yet. I guess I'll be feeling just like you. It would helpful to read some good advices.

I'm so excited! Passed my exit exam on the second try and now I'm studying for the PN-NCLEX. It's been a tough year but it feels so good to finally graduate from the LPN program. I love the school and I'm planning to attend their RN program in November. They make it hard for the students but is all worth it. Congratulation to all those students that completed the program!

Hi, I'm attending this school. I'm in the 4 th qrt and will be finishing in 2 weeks. I love the school and I don't regret choosing this school. I will be starting their RN program in August and continuing there after. This school is becoming a college in few months and will be moving to a bigger building 2 blocks away. In addition they will have a bachelors degree and they will become accredited.,. Let me know if you have more questions

IBlake907, Allied is $19,000 for the program. It includes the books, uniform and other fees. I tried taking the TEAS twice and failed at Erwin and decided to tried the Allied school. I'm glad I did because the entrance exam was way easier than the TEAS.

FL_frauline Thanks for your information. Good luck on the exit exam.. Let me know how it goes. I went for my interview and it went well. Then I went to financial aid and I will be taking a loan of $14,000. I tried some of their uniform and ordered the right size. They also took a picture with the uniform for my school id...I felt like I was accepted already. lol They told me I should be hearing from them within a week. Are you going to look for a job as a LPN or are you are planning to continue for the RN? Are currently working? I worry it will be hard to find a job as a new grad.

I passed my entrance exam! I'm looking to start in July class. I have my interview schedule for this week and then I have to meet up with financial aid. I'm excited! Is anyone looking to start in July? Any former students that can give me any information about the school or teachers? Do you like the school?
