  1. Is being an LPN REALLY that bad?

    peppapig123 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It seems like people frown upon LPN's....always saying "Just become an RN." I thought becoming an LPN was a good career choice...other people don't seem to think so though o_O So for all the...

  2. LPN or Medical Assistant

    peppapig123 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Which is a better career for a young parent...with a young child? This is a nursing website...so I know most of you will probably say LPN...but I don't really know anyone in the medical field so this...

  3. Why I Quit MA school

    peppapig123 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So the last time I was on here I was working towards my pre-reqs for nursing at a community college. Well life happened. I got a full time job, had another baby and ended up in a 7 month MA program. I...

  4. Where are your clinicals?

    peppapig123 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I spoke to someone at a school today about their lpn program and I asked about their clinical sites. They said they're mostly in nursing homes. Now I know in most areas lpn's are mainly employed in...

  5. Where are your clinicals?

    peppapig123 replied to peppapig123's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I just wasn't sure and I almost ruled the school out. I want to go somewhere with good clinical

  6. What to do when you've exceeded the limit on repeating a class?

    peppapig123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, I'm having trouble in psychology. This is my second time taking it. I know this is supposed to be an easy class, but its not for me. My school says a class can't be taken more than twice. I'm...

  7. So you want to be a nurse...

    peppapig123 replied to Sir Enzyme's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved it! Sometimes I wonder if nursing is for me, or if I can do it. This just gave me the encouragement I needed. Thanks for

  8. Medical Assistant to RN

    peppapig123 replied to Mrs.YayaLozada's topic in General Students

    If you don't want to give up on being an MA, (which I think is what you're saying) then don't, unless you do as others have said and look for a different school that offers an evening program. Which...

  9. Organic and Biochemistry?

    peppapig123 replied to rys22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Intro to bichemistry is a pre-req for my CC's nursing program. We're going to cover organic, inorganic +& biochem. I had my 1st class today, it seems as if as long as you study +& read the...

  10. I did it and its so clear now

    peppapig123 replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Sopranokris. 53k is A LOT for an adn program, and nobody is guaranteed a job when they finish school. It can take up to a year or more for some new grads to find a job. Loans kick in...

  11. How Far do you want to go in your Nursing Education?

    peppapig123 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone wants to be a nurse practitioner....I'll be happy with just my BSN. I hate

  12. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    peppapig123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    peppapig123 replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I really like the dry erase board idea, I'm gonna buy one :) I also liked the idea of recording lectures. Where can I buy a recorder? About how much do they

  15. Communication pre req in two weeks

    peppapig123 replied to ambergoeke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    O_o looks like you won't be starting then. Why did you wait until 3 weeks before you start nursing school? And you know you needed the class by the end of this

  16. Thinking of having a baby while in LPN school

    peppapig123 replied to malloryg's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you want another baby, why even ask the opinion of people you don't know? In the end, YOU have to deal with whatever happens. Do what you feel is best. I personally would wait. I understand how you...

  17. What specialty are you considering?

    peppapig123 replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any floor that will hire me....lol. I'd like to work on a post-partum floor, ICU, or LTC/rehab/skilled nursing. Yes, I'm one of the few that wouldn't mind working ltc. I'd gladly take a job at

  18. No more adn? Is this true?

    peppapig123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in my math class today, and some people were saying that in 2014 or 2015 all nurses will have to have a BSN. They said ADN programs aren't telling people this, even though they know about it. Is...

    peppapig123 replied to rockycna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Im curious and want to see absolute honesty

    peppapig123 replied to miabia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    People on here say nurses don't make a lot, but where I come from (the ghetto, hood, whatever you wanna call it) 35k or more is a lot to people where I live. So a lot of girls I know do go into...

  21. resume help; dietary aide

    peppapig123 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a pre-nursing student. I can't afford cna classes yet, something always comes up when I'm supposed to pay. But anyway, i'd like to try to land a dietary aide job in a nursing home. The thing is, I...

  23. Why are people so ignorant?

    peppapig123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a friend of mine that's always making smart comments about nurses and nurse aide's, and I noticed it started after I told her I wanted to be a nurse. She'll say things like "why would anybody...

    peppapig123 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After this summer semester, I'll be eligible to apply for the lpn program. I would start fall 13 and finish summer 14. I can apply for the rn program spring 13 and start probably spring 14. I would...
