  1. LPN vs RN

    demylenated replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in LPN to RN

    This is the one thing I worry about... But, the job I have and the state I work in, I am a phase III Lpn with advanced certifications. I am allowed to do everything EXCEPT hang blood (which is why I...

  2. LPN vs RN

    demylenated replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in LPN to RN

    I think this will always be the case. It is made worse by those who haven't worked in any other position (usually RNs) and get that "high and mighty" attitude as well. Which is why I choose to stair...

  3. Help! Stay in LVN or go to RN?

    demylenated replied to BeJuled's topic in LPN to RN

    Where are you located? Your program is 2 years for LPN? Do you end up with an associate degree, but only LPN? My program was 11 months, and that is what most programs are around everywhere I've...

  4. Getting over a negative clinical experience a year and a half ago

    demylenated replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I will share this with you. For some reason, ignorance I suppose, when I went to nursing school 13 years ago - I was TERRIFIED of AIDS. Of course, it was still kinda new (only really about 10 years...

  5. LPN program CLOSED by BON-VA 5/10/11 what to do!

    demylenated replied to Ginger Snapp's topic in Virginia Nursing

    WOW!!! AND, when I called them (we had orders to move back to the area this year), even though I received my LPN through them, they did NOT offer a transition program, so I would have had to sit...

  6. I've been ACCEPTED!!!

    demylenated replied to demylenated's topic in LPN to RN

    Thanks :) I am so excited... who'd have thought going back to school would be exciting.

  7. LPN who wants to become an RN!!Online school or strictly classroom? HELP!!!!!!

    demylenated replied to aviahhasmyheart's topic in LPN to RN

    I've heard high reviews of the ISU LPN to BSN program... but, for me - the LPN to RN bridge program (I was just accepted to) is perfect. I am taking a break from work (not completely), and as Jules...

  8. Getting over a negative clinical experience a year and a half ago

    demylenated replied to rumwynnieRN's topic in General Nursing

    You are a STUDENT, and are there to LEARN... It sounds to me you are afraid of failing and putting way to much pressure on yourself. You will not know everything out of the gate - it is ok to fail......

  9. LPN program CLOSED by BON-VA 5/10/11 what to do!

    demylenated replied to Ginger Snapp's topic in Virginia Nursing

    When I lived in VA around that area, I went to Medical Careers. Great accreditations, well recognized in every state I've lived in (military) and eligible for the transitions programs. It is...

  10. Current LPN-retaking prereq's for RN.

    demylenated replied to akita_mommy's topic in LPN to RN

    Same with me... only the highest grade counts... you can get credit for taking the class 2 times, so you only get one grade. That will usually be the one that transfers as well. Good luck :)

  11. CMA to LPN??

    demylenated replied to OLIVIALEN's topic in LPN to RN

    I know in my vocational school it was the same thing. It was 11 months for CMA and 12 for LPN. I could not understand why anyone would not go the extra month... You said you have you associates...

  12. Do you think I would be better off starting the ADN program as a generic student?

    demylenated replied to delores4's topic in LPN to RN

    Just in case you needed further confirmation I agree with everyone. First, if you passed all your exams (TEAS) and were accepted, then you are well qualified and ready. And, not working a few years,...

  13. LVN to BSN, not through a bridge program

    demylenated replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in LPN to RN

    If for some reason I didn't make it into the bridge program this year, I plan to do the original program. The bridge here is only once a year, so I figure I could gain a bit more knowledge, or...

  14. lpn to rn or straight to bsn prgm?

    demylenated replied to rachman02's topic in LPN to RN

    I am an LPN. I've been an LPN for 12 years, was a CNA for 6 years before that. It is difficult to get motivated to go back to school when you leave... but I believe the stair step process helps you...

  15. Anyone did the Indiana State University LPN to BSN online?

    demylenated replied to lynnie88's topic in Indiana State University

    Here is the link to the ISU information: https://www.indstate.edu/online/undergraduate While they SUGGEST you take the 4 TCN classes, I would NOT! You can clep out, or even take the classes with your...

  16. Anyone did the Indiana State University LPN to BSN online?

    demylenated replied to lynnie88's topic in Indiana State University

    This is because you will be acting as your own pre-ceptor and doing clinicals on your own. If you were a student, you would be doing it on the instructor's license... Are CA/WI compact states? If so,...

  17. Hi, New here, but not to nursing :)

    demylenated posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Hello everyone. I was a member here a very long time ago, but forgot my sign in credentials... I am an LPN starting the transition program May 31 (hopefully)... and will graduate next May :) It all...

  18. Hi, New here, but not to nursing :)

    demylenated replied to demylenated's topic in LPN to RN

    UPDATE! I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got an 83.3%. Ranked in the top 95% nationally. The mean score for this round was only 63.3%... wow... this is one heck of a test! The program I am applying for...

  19. I am so discouraged...

    demylenated replied to determinedgirl5689's topic in LPN to RN

    You can do this... just take as much time as you need... don't rush it and don't pressure yourself. I went back to nursing school at 24... got my LPN. I am now 35 and going back for my RN! You have...

  20. Are you glad you got your LPN first?

    demylenated replied to clearblue3's topic in LPN to RN

    I've been an LPN for 12 years. I am VERY glad I got my LPN first. I've had no issues with finding jobs, but it depends on where you live. Just as before my LPN, I was a CNA. It has given me so much...
