I have been reading a lot of negative discussions about the nursing field and I must admit, I've considered changing my career path. Problem is, I can't see myself doing anything else. Please tell me that there are nurses out there that like their jo...

Everyone needs to vent whatever their job may be. I'm not talking about the nurses who vent. I had read posts from nurses who have actually said they regret becoming a nurse and are absolutely miserable.

I was supposed to start the lpn program this Jan but there was one huge road bump that stopped that from happening this. So I'm hoping next Jan I can make it happen BUT i'm really worried how we are going to survive financially. We are struggling so ...

wow, really? U found a place that will give u 5,000 a month? I've never even heard of that. Is this through your school? If I was getting that much a month I wouldn't even have to work. I can't find anything like that around here.

I just don't like owing all of that money back. I will be paying it back till the day I die but I guess it's worth it to make a better life for me & my son.

You can borrow more than you need to on your loans if you have to, as long as the funds are there. I know for the one loan you can borrow up to $9,500 & the other one I think it's $5,000. I was approved for a grant of $5500 as well but my tuition...

I see a lot of talk about the RN program at St.Margarets but nothing about the LPN program. I take my entrance exam on the 22nd and I'm so nervous cause I've never been good at math or science. Has anyone been through the program & can tell me wh...

I live in Western, PA & I'm trying to find a place besides a community college that offers a cna course..like maybe a hospital or something? Please let me know!

I haven't scheduled it yet, I'm too scared I'm going to fail it & then all of my dreams of becoming a nurse will be ruined! Any advice? I bought a book off amazon to study from but in the math section it's a bunch of fractions..no algebra which s...

I will be taking the TEAS exam on Sept 14th so I obviously don't have time to order a book to study from. I was wondering if any of you knew of any websites that has practice questions. I really want to brush up on the math part. I'm taking the test ...

That's awesome! congrats! I decided to go ahead and order the ati teas study manual even though it's expensive & I will only use it once I think it's better to be safe than sorry especially since classes do fill up so quickly I don't wanna miss o...

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone on this board has gone to Lenape for the lpn program or knows anyone who has? I'm taking their entrance exam soon & I'd like to know more about the program. Thanks.

Thanks for the response! I'm terrible at math so I'm a little worried. I'm just gonna order the book from amazon & make sure I don't write in it that way I can send it back since I will only be using it once. I have to pass this test on the first...

thanks for the info! where do they do their clinicals?

I just wanted to know if the students who have gone there like the program, how were the instructors, was the entrance exam hard? You may not be able to answer those questions though unless you've heard it from them. I'm just a little worried cause s...

really? which upmc location hired u if u dont mind me asking cause st.margarets is closest to me and im pretty sure they arent willing to train but it doesnt hurt to try

Does anyone have any feedback about this school? I read a post a while ago on here about St.Margaret that made me wonder if I should go there but everyone around here seems to think it's a great school. I would appreciate any feedback about the progr...

I took the LPN exam...from what I've heard the RN exam is a lot more difficult than the lpn exam.

Shaunta20-I'm from PA too. Where are u going to school?

I live in PA actually not too far from Pittsburgh & I've browsed lpn job listings to kind of figure out the realistic salary for lpn's because I went to school for Dental Assisting and we were lied to about the salary we would be making...the mos...

Oh so u already took the exam? To be honest I don't think I passed the science part but I'm praying I did better than I think. I pretty much guessed on the whole section but I think I passed everything else. Being a nurse is my dream & I'm going...

I have been trying to find somewhere to take a nursing assistant/pca course and have had no luck. While searching for jobs on a local hospital's website I came across a PCA program that they now offer but I'm nervous I won't get an interview cause I ...

Thank You. I have checked out those sample questions before but they seemed too easy compared to the book that I bought to study from. Whenever u took your exam for the RN program how long did it take for you to receive your results?

Nothing. I applied and I called HR to see if I could get an interview..no one returned my call so I kept checking the application status online & shortly after I called the status was changed to "not selected" ***..they didn't even give me a chan...

I'm also interested in a nursing aide or pta course. I applied at Forbes Hospital because they now offer a PCA program but they won't give me the time of day..not sure why since it's a pca trainee program and doesn't require any experience. I'm kinda...
