Specifically talking in social settings. I understand if you're at work or at a job interview, your title needs to be specified. I have a friend who I've been doing pre-reqs with years back. Our goal was always BSN. We took different paths and now sh...

I initially didn't want to be a nurse. I heard so many night shift stories from my ICU nurse mom growing up. They were awful and if anything, I felt bad for her and her co-workers. Of course, she tried to recruit me throughout the years. The only thi...

Thank you! I felt like such a loser writing the post and even thinking of writing that for my essay. I can't believe it's taken me this long!

The essay question wants us to describe a challenging time in our lives. I'm blessed to say I haven't had any hardships such as others. Frustrating challenges and the only thing I can think of is getting into nursing school. Background info on me - i...

I just graduated from the LPN program and got the invitation. I'm planning to go back to that school and apply for the LPN-RN bridge program hopefully within this year or next year. Thing is, will it help when looking for jobs? Also, they give you so...

I am an LPN, looking to get back into an LPN-RN program. I 'm currently working at a very big hospital on my dream unit (med-surg telemetry) as a tech and I feel soo grateful to be here. No disrespect to the other units because we are a busy hospital...

I'm normally a tough gal. I am able to tolerant high maintinence patients to an extent but last weekend was crazy and I feel so drained..I just started crying. I am a nurse tech in a cardiovascular telemetry unit. It's my dream unit and I'm so lucky ...

I've reached my tolerance with nursing schools. Here's my background: I've got my associate's degree/transfer degree in pre-reqs from 2007. I got my LPN Certificate in 2012. I'm at a weird position where I can: - apply for a ladder program - apply fo...

I graduated from an LPN program and currently applying for an LPN-RN bridge program. Instead of getting an LPN job, I applied to a hospital as a patient tech (CNA) to get hospital experience and got the job :) I'm so amped and excited! We had one cli...

Hello, Nursing has been a long journey for me. I started volunteering at a hospital when I was 16 and knew I wanted to be in healthcare. Within the past 10 years, I received my AAS in pre-nursing, became a CNA, graduated from an LPN program. I am cur...

As most of you know, getting into nursing school is very competitive. That's a big, "duhhhh". For me, my plan was always to get a BSN. I was so LUCKY to get into an LPN program almost 3 years ago (graduated last year). Most of us use the LPN educatio...

My school's bridge program is only 3 quarters and there is not license needed. It is optional

There was talk of this difficult clinical instructor from months ago - she (allegedly) was verbally abusive with her students. She failed one student because her english wasn't "Americanized English". One teacher found out and demanded to bring the s...

I'm 26, I graduated from the LPN program almost 2 years ago. I was in meetings with the director in my last quarter with the director to get information about our school's bridge program. At that time, their bridge program was still in the process. 3...

My boyfriend and I are big dreamers. He just graduated and is on his way to a career. I graduated from LPN but am still trying to apply for a bridge program. When I graduated last year, our school was still in talks with the state to develop it. It t...

My boyfriend is an engineer and I feel like he doesn't understand the nursing world-being a nursing student or being a nurse (in general). I grew up in the world of nursing since I was born. My mom has been and is currently an ICU nurse for 30 years....

I gave a heparin injection sub Q to my patient during clinical last week. My instructor said I did it wrong because I showed go "really slow". I wasn't going really fast but just how you administer any subQ injection. What's the reason for going "slo...

I graduated from the PN program almost a year ago in March. I studied with classmates using Kaplan and their q-bank along with their live study sessions. I took it in June and did not pass with 75 questions. They were all "near passing standard". Tha...

You guys were lucky! Yeah, I just called them and they couldn't find a date other than the ones listed on the website. I'm definitely wishing, hoping, praying I can get a day next week before the validity is expired. I'll keep checking every hour. I ...

Family emergency last weekend and my test validity is until the 27th of this month. I have it scheduled for this week but I'm drained and still trying to just stay calm from it. I've been meditating, working out, staying calm and have been less anxio...

And yeah, all the days are filled up at the 2 test centers near by. I also called and it's the same from when I tried to reschedule online but good tip, thanks!

Thanks everyone! Yeah, state emailed me back and just said to reschedule that date but it's past the validity date on my ATT. Also, there was a date open next weekend however, it's a day after the validity date. I pray that God and the universe can g...
