Hello everyone! I hope someone may be able to shed some light for me. I am still looking into LPN-RN programs as I am ready to get going in school again. Has anyone here attended Thomas Nelson's program? I've done a lot of research on a few programs...

I wanted to thank everyone for providing me with their experiences! You have given me some great information. Have a great afternoon!

Thanks so much for your reply! Congratulations on your graduation! If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a few more questions. Overall, how did you like the program? What were your clinicals like? And how long did you have to be on the waitlist befo...

Hello again, I had a good time in school and made some awesome friends. We became very close during school and we helped each other when times got tough. It's not easy-expect to work hard. You will eat,breathe, and sleep school the entire time you're...

Hello, I did the evening LPN program and graduated about 1 1/2 years ago. I would be happy to try and answer any questions you may have if you'd like... Have a good night!

Hello everyone, I posted a little while ago about MCI RN program graduates, as I am trying to decide which RN program to proceed with. I am leaning towards Riverside's LPN-RN program at this point and I am wondering if anyone would be willing to sh...

Wow, I had a good experience with the LPN program at MCI-NN campus-although there were a few bumps in the road here and there. When I was there, they were just implementing the RN program so I'm sure there are plenty of kinks to still be worked out....

Cherylyn, With Chancellor's program, what school does that go through? I'm looking to go back to school so any help/info would be greatly appreciated! (By the way, my name is Cherylyn, too and I've never seen any one spell it the same way as I do!! ...

Thank you for the reply! That was great information!

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I have looked into Sentara's program as well. It looks like a great program, too. I am working full time for CHKD right now so the one reason I was looking into Riverside's program is the evening/weekend option. I still ha...

In my personal experience my review class/materials helped me prepare for the exam for the most part, but there were things on the test that I didn't know much about/or I just didn't recall right then. I just tried to make a best "guess" on those que...

I, too, know what you mean about agonizing all weekend to see if you passed or not. I took mine this past Thursday with one of my classmates. They found out their results on Friday morning and there was no information on mine. Of course I figured I h...

Thank you so much for your concern. It is funny how we worry about people when we just communicate through the computers! Anyway, he is okay, thank goodness. A young girl side swiped him and pinned his leg in between her car and the motorcycle. His a...

I am supposed to be working on 4West which is the hospitalist unit. I just graduated from LPN school a few weeks back. My orientation is scheduled for next week, however, my husband got into an accident on a motorcycle just a fews days ago, so I may ...

Hello! I, too was recently offered a position with Riverside on another floor. The staff there seems very friendly as well. If I am not mistaken, I believe the ICU has just been re-done. It is set up much nicer than it was before. I visited there wit...

I have just finished my LPN schooling as of this past Monday. I was offered a position with a local hospital and they can hire you. However, I am not able to sign up or complete orientation until I have my letter that states I am eligible to sit for ...

Hello all! Just curious if anyone had some info on Riverside's RN program?? If not Riverside's, any other suggestions would be great! I am currently in LPN school to graduate in July of this year, and I am looking at some different programs to furthe...

Hi Brynn-I'm not really familiar with the RN program at MCI. I am doing their LPN program in Newport News. All I truly know is that it is a super accelerated program, hence the 15 months. I'm sorry I don't have much info for you on that front though....

Thanks for your input! I have always heard good things about the school, I was just needing some help in making my decision so that I know what pre-req classes that I needed to fulfill. Each program I've looked into requires the same amount of classe...

Dara757, I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you..I didn't realize that you had decided to go ahead and take the classes from MCI. I thought you were looking into other programs. Our final exam for this mod is on Monday as well. I guess I...

Everything is going well with classes right now. Thanks so much for asking!We're getting ready to finish up another term so it's nice to know we're another step closer to finishing, but at the same time, that's when it gets hectic!!! I have not heard...

You're most definitely welcome! If I'm not mistaken, I think you do get your scrubs at orientation. I know they fit you for them. If not at orientation, then you will get them on your first night. Let me know how it goes!!!

You should be fine without the papers. As long as you're getting them filled out by your doctor, just turn them in when they are due. They should tell you all that info at your orientation. For me, orientation was very informative. Alot of your quest...

Yes, you are right. The LPN program has their accreditation. They've had it for many years...The RN program is new and they just had their first class begin in Feb of this year..however, the LPN program has excellent pass rates for the NCLEX..:)

Nooo,you're not driving me crazy!! I know what it's like to be in your shoes. I understand your reasoning for the LPN choice. That's pretty much the same reason I chose this route too, besides it worked best for my family, too. I figured I could star...
