1. Is any job with the hospital a "foot" in?

   AmyLooV replied to AmyLooV's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm really not thinking it's an automatic in... just wondering if hospital employees are considered more so than other grads. This hospital very rarely hires LPN's, so I'm not even thinking about working there right out of school. They do have an Ur...

   So, I'm a SAHM for the tim. e being. Nursing school starts in August. I did find myself a part-time job, working 4 hours a day in the morning near my house. I figure it will help pay for Nursing School. Originally I was open to a part-time or fu...

   AmyLooV posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi everyone. I'm just in need of sharing my good news! Feel free to ignore me! I'm supposed to start an LPN program in August of 2012. I took my TEAS, got all my shots and tests, paperwork, references, interviews etc... My husband and I were goin...

   I'm a pre-nursing student who is slated to start LPN school in august. I've been recently dx'd with ADHD (predominately innattentive). I realize that I'm potentially limited in my career options. Are there any career tracks that would work well wit...

5. Nursing school now... Or wait indefinitely.

   AmyLooV replied to AmyLooV's topic in General Students

   Yes. Now that I've been able to think about it for a few days, I realize my questions are different than this one because I already know where I stand in regards to loans and debt. What I'm really struggling with figuring out right now is, is it w...

   AmyLooV replied to AmyLooV's topic in General Students

   Thanks. I wish we qualified for a PELL... we technically make too much but so much of our money goes towards debt we have little left over after bills, mortgage, etc. I'm really kind of stuck money wise. I haven't had much luck looking for a job, ...

   AmyLooV replied to AmyLooV's topic in General Students

   Thanks. To answer your question... I'm opposed to debt. I'm still digging myself out of on school loan. It's only 5k I know but, my inheritance check could take a month, a year, ten years... I kind of have to pretend it doesn't exist.

   AmyLooV posted a topic in General Students

   Here's my dilemma. I'm 30, married with 1 kid. I'm currently unemployed mostly by choice. I've started looking for a job but it's slim pickings. I have an AA in General Studies that amounts to nothing and haven't worked since 2008. I've been accept...

9. Orlando Tech LPN 2012?

   AmyLooV replied to AmyLooV's topic in Florida

   I didn't take the TABE since I have an AA but I did take the TEAS. It was 100% on the computer and harder than I thought it was going to be. It was harder than my study aid (McGraw Hill). I'm glad I studied though. I was worried I was going to fa...

    I'm wondering if anyone else is either accepted or working on the requirements for the OTech LPN program for August of 2012? I'm just waiting on my medical forms and I'll be ready to hand stuff in to be put in the class. I know I'm early but I'm stil...

    Thanks so much! I appreciate it. I'm going to a psychiatrist in about 2 weeks for an evaluation and we'll see what happens from there.

    Hi everyone. I'm not a nurse (yet). I'm waiting for am LPN program to start and in the mean time I've been perusing the allnurses site :-) I have not officially been diagnosed with ADD but I'm fairly sure that I have it, or something. Really my ...

13. Financial Aid?

    AmyLooV replied to AmyLooV's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    My issue is I do not want to take out a loan. I still have debt from past student loans and I'm weary of putting even more debt on top of that. I'm going to try my best to earn or find as close to the $5000 I need in the next year. But we'll see....

14. Financial Aid?

    AmyLooV posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Hi. I'm looking to start an LPN program at Orlando Tech in August of 2012. It's a ways off, however, I'm worried about paying for it. I currently don't work but my husband does. We make "too much money" to qualify for most programs. But most of ...
