You hit the nail right on the head with this article! BRAVO to you for having the courage to write what some of us nurses are thinking! I'm a Hospice nurse and I more then understand the frustrations of trying to get a family to understand that the...

It took me 3 months to get started with them. I started my application September 19, 2013. I ordered my transcripts and everything the same day. They got 2 out of 3 of my transcripts within 2 weeks. There was an issue with the other transcript wh...

Wow Lorren2002. That was a pretty good turn around time for you. I applied to the college Sept 19th. Today is Dec 13th and I'm still awaiting! I've been told I'm accepted to the college but then I contacted my advisor for the CON and she informed...

Good luck. Let me know how it works out for you. I started the application process in Sept so I could start Nov 4th. Well I still have not started classes. I don't even know what credits they are taking or not taking. Getting someone to call you...

I did Hurst and I loved it. I am looking to do another review. It's a bit pricey but well worth it. I used the Hurst review book to study for my LPN and passed the 1st time (by the grace of God). Good luck!

Hi Shan, Sorry I took so long to reply. I am doing my RN at Indian River State College right now. It is a very competitive program, so having your LPN is a plus. The only bridge program I know of in South Florida is in Broward at Broward Comm...

I don't know why it continues to amaze me at how negative people can be. I see someone trying to be positive and all some people can do is complain. I understand that the economy sucks. But that will never give anyone the right to just be plain me...

BTW...The RN program is not a bridge program. IRSC got rid of their bridge program a few years ago, which really sucks for students like me!

I am currently attending Indian River State College in Ft Pierce, Florida. I like you have finished all my pre req's (like 2 years ago, lol). But I have realized from reading other posts on the school that I will stay with IRSC. I read that Excles...

Wow......$3600 - $6000 for the program through Exclesior? That is cheaper then me going to my community college. Is is costing me $9800. Now has any of you gotten any finanical aide? Or is this all out of pocket?

OK...Question? How long are you studying for at one time? I have read in more places then one that you should only study for about 50 minutes at a time. In other words study for 50 minutes and take a 10 minute break. Study for 50 minutes and then...

this is an RN students goal mine...THanks Crystelle! :hug::lttang:

Just an FYI Tedebare, Another student that was accepted started a Facebook page for the IRSC ADN students of 2011. Always good to know people...

Know that you are blessed to be able to take the review course. I could not afford it but I loved her book. I am starting the RN program in Jan and that will be the first book I buy and I will be using it throughout the program. I also have her pa...

congrats to all who passed the test! I am an LPN and got my results on my birthday. I am starting the RN program in January and I hope to be doing the happy dance in 18 months as well. Again congrats to you all!:ancong!:

God bless you all and I pray God will open your minds to reveal the knowledge that is already there. Amen

Ok ladies...I took the test already. Think priority, ABC's and what would you do 1st. Look at the question as "if I DON'T do this my patient will die". The NCLEX lady wants to know that you will not kill your patient. HTH!

What are you studying? How are you studying? If you know what the test is like then base your studies on that. I suggest the book Hurst Review of NCLEX. That book really is a God send. I like how she breaks down for you how to think for the "NCL...

I took the test in Sept. All I can say is think priority. What would you do 1st. Patient teaching. Get the book called Hurst Reviews NCLEX for either PN or RN (which ever test you are taking). That is a great book and she really prepares you for...

A deferment is not what you want. Since you are having trouble with finding a job, see if you can get an Economic Hardship Forbearence. I have recently had to do the same thing but only because I am getting ready to start the ADN program in Januar...

I agree with eveyone else that said to get clarification at the interview. I would hate to hear that you cut your dreads and NOT get the job! That would really suck. Good Luck and I pray your dreams come true...

Hi Regrebs, I understand what you are feeling. I too have recently graduated from LPN school. At the end I realized that I did not want to be in the hospital setting either because of my children. I have always been home for Christmas and Tha...

I agree with you anonymous1919. That persons comment was very rude and disrespectful. I am an LPN and I did not need extra help. Don't judge without knowing a person first. Isn't that a rule in nursing!

Congrats TedeBare, I have also been accepted into the RN for Spring 2011. Hope to see you there!

Here in Florida A&P I and II are not part of the LPN program either. They offer body structure and function which is the a down grade of AP I&II. All of the girls in my class had to take AP I&II in order to get into the RN program. Che...
