I am going to school to become an LPN. A friend of mine said that when you get your LPN you can just take the NCLEX for RN without any additional schooling, but you will have to study from a book. Does anyone know if this is true? I live in a small town in PA and would love to eventually get my RN but I am absolutely not a college/dorm person, hence why I am going to a technical institute for nursing for 18 months. I am top in my senior class but just cannot see myself going to a big college. Can anyone give me tips or personal experiences! thanks so much!! :heartbeatJacey

thanks to all! I passed the test with flying colors :)

wow! i have actually never heard of that! that makes a lot of sense lol thank you! i will definitely be using that!

Most of the problems are conversions, and thanks for the help. The book that I bought to study from had nothing in it involving the metric system!! SO thanks alot!! One of the examples in the practice test is " A woman recieved a bottle with half an oz. of perfume. How many mL is this?" But since 30 mL is 1 oz, I now know the answer is 15mL. so thank you:yeah:

Hi all, My LPN entrance exam is coming up in a few short weeks!! There is a section on it using the metric system and I have tried to study it for soo long and its not clicking! I've tried to look up things online and everything in between. Does anyone have any tips that they use that could help me understand it better? The questions include converting liters to gallons and there are ALOT of questions that have mL in them. I'm really stuck! any help would be GREATLY appreciated because im really stressed over this! :heartbeatJacey
