    CNC_1989 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi ya'll! A few weeks ago I submited my applicaton to the LPN program at the Jr college I'm currently attending. I decided to go for LPN because 1 year is better for me than 2. I would like to hear...

    CNC_1989 replied to JanineKelbach's topic in Ob/Gyn

  4. LPN'S

    CNC_1989 replied to DPalmieri's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm a LPN student and I just don't understand why everyone is so focused on what type of education you have as a nurse. The way I see nursing is there's always room for advancement, that's part of the...

    CNC_1989 replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently in nursing school but the worse job I've had was cashier (then later promoted to Beauty Adviser) at Walgreens. They worked me like a dog for minimum wage and I had to deal with the...

  6. switch from medical school to nursing?

    CNC_1989 replied to gj101's topic in General Students

    I can relate because my ex husband wasn't supportive at all when I told him I wanted to be a nurse. Sometimes we have to do what's best for ourselves, this doesn't make us selfish. If your wife truly...

    CNC_1989 replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN to RN

    Grey scrubs with our school patch, a white lab coat, black shoes and hair up with small stud earrings and a flat wedding band. I'm so glad they done away with white a few semesters before me

  11. LPN Traning is it hard? Any tips

    CNC_1989 replied to apreetyddhh's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Well first off, I find your comment unnecessary and second I don't think choosing LPN over RN has anything to do with a lack of intelligence. For most people it's a choice based on their financial...

  14. Antonelli College LPN program.

    CNC_1989 replied to CNC_1989's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You have to take the Kaplan exam and have a ged. They don't require an act or preqs but you get "extra points" for certain classes I think and previous healthcare experience. I got in but I have a 3.4...

    CNC_1989 replied to CNC_1989's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    The one in my state is, I know a couple of the students from last semester have passed boards and are working. The program is just unreasonably priced. I only applied because I was keeping my options...

  16. Antonelli College LPN program.

    CNC_1989 replied to CNC_1989's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Nope, it was crazy expensive plus I got accepted into JCJC. I talked to a couple of people that did it and they liked it. I just couldn't pay the 19,000

  17. Should I become a LPN

    CNC_1989 replied to Melissataylor730's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's a question only you can answer, however I can put in my 2 cents. I chose the LPN route because I have an 8 year old son and financial difficulties . If you don't have kids and can support...

  18. Tips/Advice for starting LPN school?

    CNC_1989 replied to mikayyCNA_'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You answered a major question that I was gonna ask. I didn't know if it would be beneficial if I did NCLEX questions from day one. Someone gave me a free Kaplan study guide so I'll use it along with...

  22. LPN or PCT Which one is better?

    CNC_1989 replied to MSBREELEE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the hospital where I used to work they would train people to be a PCT. If you want to get into nursing try LPN, you could work as a PCT while in school. Be warned though, LPN programs can be just...

  24. RN or LPN?

    CNC_1989 replied to NursingDream2016's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on what you can afford. If you can do the RN program without putting yourself in a financial strain then go for that. I'm married with an 8 year old and LPN was the right choice for me...
