I worked night shift for 15 years because it worked out best for my family but unless your really a night person and adjust well I recomend you NOT do it. Looking back on my life, I would have worked...
Shellyjel, I am in the same boat as you, an LPN, 47 years old and back in school working on RN. We still have many years in the workforce so if you get your RN you will potentially have 20 years with...
I personally do not think LPN's are being phased out but rather "phased back". Do you realize that Medical Assistants with recent schooling are taught phlebotomy and medication administration!! and...

I took 1020 on-line a couple semesters ago. It was pretty easy just drama and poetry, nothing too intense. I also was working part-time and taking a Hybrid Algebra and Psych and I didn't have any...

You can go to their website and get any info on gpa and prereq's. I was wondering if anyone is in the lpn to rn program at the Twinsburg campus? If there is a long wait time for Tri-C this is my 2nd...
When does the program start for you? Its not too late, some nursing homes will teach you the skills you need but you'll have to look into it. You can work on weekends or evenings and get the hands on...
Where else but in nursing can you chose to work in an office or in private homes. You can work in a hospital in too many specialty areas to mention or if your the social worker type person you can...

I am 47 years old and finally going back for my RN after being an LPN for 24 years. Now that my kids are grown I didn't have any more excuses, it was scarey but I feel really good about
I agree with Moogie, you need to get the BSN. Go for it now, don't stop, don't get distracted and you will be rewarded. The BSN makes so much more money and if for some reason you chose the lpn road...
