  1. News about the Vo-Tech and my placement Test ;and should I give them my transcripts?

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

    I've thought about it for the past few days, and realized that I couldn't do it. I hate being lied to and lying even more. So even if I was lying indirectly or by my actions, I just couldn't live with...

  2. Which road to take? LPN or RN?

    FocusRN replied to kbean04's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  5. Which road to take? LPN or RN?

    FocusRN replied to kbean04's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is not directed to the op or anything, but I am getting really tired of this question. It is just in my opinion more fuel for the LPN vs. RN fire. No one can tell you what to do, and you can't...

    I have been quoted different times, but I think it would most likely be 18 months. And the class is Mon-Fri 8a-3p, except for clinicals days which are from 7a-3p. It really seems like a long time. But...

  17. In You Are in School or Even If You Have finished Please Respond.

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