I am 41 and about to start the LPN to RN Bridge program. It will take 3 semesters starting this January. I am nervous and excited!! Then to BSN.... Onward and Upward. As I tell my 15 year old daughter, NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER GIVE IN!

I am waiting to hear if I have been accepted into the LPN to RN Bridge program here in Ga. What school are you going to in GA?

Hi there, I am a new LPN (about a year of clinical experience) and I am applying for the LPN - RN bridge program at Gordon College in Ga. I have been given mixed reviews on the Bridge program. I was shocked to hear people say they would rather start ...

Is it legal to have a nurse in an Assisted Living Facility work two 16 hr shifts back to back in the state of GA?

iamgold, sounds about right. I just started working at a facility where they have one wing ltc and the other subacute. I got a few days training and then put on my own. I am a new graduate. It is completely overwhelming!! There are about 30 patients ...

Hey there, just left interview. I spoke with the Principal and the RN who oversees all the LPNs in the county. I didn't prepare like I should have so I felt caught off guard a little bit. They asked the questions you will see on the site but I didn't...

Hey there- did you interview yet for the elementary nurse position? I have an interview this morning for a nurse position at a nearby elementary school and I am in the same boat as you with even less experience! I have 2 jobs, one with LTC and one is...

I just started training for a PRN position in an LTC facility. I am scared to death. How do I keep myself from getting eaten alive:chicken: by the other nurses and CNAs? Any advice will help!

Thank you!

Hello all, I am a new LPN graduate and have an interview for an elementary school nurse position in a few weeks. I am trying to prepare for the interview but cannot find any threads with interview questions, tips, how to prepare, what skills to brush...

Hey there- I am a brand new LPN and just started orientation this week for LTC position. I start precepting on Monday and am scared to death! I don't see how the patients can get the care they need if I will be passing meds the entire time!!

I have gaps in employment due to being a stay at home mom and working around my husband's schedule. I am not sure how to create a resume without a solid job history and I see that putting clinical experience is not a good idea. HELP! Thanks-

Hey ladies and germs! Just wanted to give you a word of encouragement. Don't let yourself get roped into any negativity, stay strong and remember why you wanted to become a nurse in the first place. There will be atleast one time during your schoolin...

Congrats! Just graduated and studying to take the NCLEX PN prob early Sept. You have made it to the other side!! Don't stop there!!!

Seriously!! HAHAHAHAHA! This should have been our class shirt!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

This sounds alot like what happened in my class as well- we had a diverse group of women and 1 man ages 21 to 73- you have to ignore the comments and focus on your studies- the people that get caught up in that nonsense are obviously immature as well...

My class started with 20 and ended up with 17- one person showed up the first day and then never came again- the other 2 left due to circumstances outside of grades. The smaller the class, the more one on one time you get- the more practice time in l...

Here we go!! NCLEX Studies......facebook.com/nclexstudies PLease LIKE the page and share it with your classmates and friends- we can make this a huge community and help each other get through this critical time! Humor is always welcome- as in vent...

The Facebook page sounds like a GREAT idea- I can get it started and from there we can set up study pals in groups of 2 for skype sessions- How about it? I will comment here again with the Facebook page name and we'll get started. I don't graduate un...

Hello there! I am in my 8th month of the LPN program- I graduate in July and plan on going right back into an RN program ASAP. I won't lie, it is scary at first but know that you will find your groove and as long as you read the chapters and listen t...

Just wanted to check in with ya'll to see if anyone else feels like their classmates are suited for battle? I know everyone is stressed out and sleep depraved- but really? you can cut the tension in our classroom with a knife! There are many differen...

Can anyone point me in the direction of a bridge program? I am assuming all bridge programs are traditional and not online? Anyone know? Greatly appreciated!

I am in second semester for LPN program and have been sick non stop! Probably due mostly to stress! Rest, get exercise, take vitamins- and always think positive!

Laura, I agree with you- there have been times in class where the people with CNA or any medical field experience get frustrated with those of us who have 0 experience. School is to learn.... Not to put others down! Thanks for your post! Good luck!

The internet is a great teacher! I agree with the others, if you like what you are doing now- don't leave it!
