  1. York Vo Tech York PA

    Raviepoo replied to Dream2Reality's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Replied by PM. PS - HACC has been very good to me. Not everyone will say that. It takes a long time to get through the program and there are many hoops to jump through. They are strict. In hind...

    Raviepoo replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I'm skipping graduation and going to pinning. Like you, I'm a second degree student. The credential that is important to me is RN. ADN, not so much. I don't need to walk across a stage in a line...

  7. Failed RN School retracked to LPN

    Raviepoo replied to Fearless_leader's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I know nothing about your school. There are awful schools out there. Maybe it's one of them? I know many LPNs who failed out of RN school for one reason or another. I think this is a good road for...

    Raviepoo replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Raviepoo replied to jsmythee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  13. Am I going to suck as a nurse?

    Raviepoo replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    That is some really good advice. You have stated that nursing is what you really want to do. You may be struggling with some of the academics. Lots of people struggle. Do you know enough to ask...

  14. Failed final semester. Advice?

    Raviepoo replied to xbananachipsx's topic in General Students

    I failed my first try at LPN because I had a nervous breakdown. Without going into detail I had more stressful events in my life than any one person should ever have to handle. Add the stress of LPN...

  15. Any nurses that have worked hospital AND nursing home?

    Raviepoo replied to manch's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hallelujah! You have no idea how it thrills me to see this said by someone other then myself. I was starting to think that I'm the only person on earth who sees it this way. I see my co-workers,...

    Raviepoo replied to AmieCooney's topic in LPN to RN

    Raviepoo replied to RNtoThe3rd's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  20. Hospice as 1st RN job after graduation?

    Raviepoo posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am on track to graduate from an RN program in December 2014. I love hospice and palliative care. I'm pretty sure I don't want to have a long, varied career in a hospital. Is there any reason why...

    Raviepoo replied to MostlysunnyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  22. Am I crazy to do LPN to RN instead of ADN

    Raviepoo replied to HTCC's topic in LPN, LVN Students
