Brenda, TCN provides these courses that ISU requires. But you have tobuy them from them. Just for them I think its close to $3000. I went for the whole package, works for me that way and it is included in what Im paying. I know some are finding dea...

Hi, I am using the publishing company TCN to get through my prerequisites and then will enrolling in the Indiana State University Online BSN Program. I am very excited about this opportunity and even though I have along way to go, I know I will get t...

Hi Brenda and Kathryn and way to go Eric!!!!! I have been a LPN for nearly 4 years and I work for Hospice and do PRN at at local nursing home. I love what ISU has to offer and cant wait to get to that part. BUT>>. I just started and have a way...

Sensoria, I dont have to take Speech BUT can understand what you are saying. I am sure I will come across some that make me feel just like you are now. Good Luck to you.

Brenda, I appreciate your response. Good Luck with AH1, let me know how it goes. Are you finding that some of your co-workers think your crazy , when you tell them your going to be enrolled in Indiana State University and get a BSN online? I live in ...

Hi, I am currently working through my first TCN course, Sociology. I hope that I do well on the exam, when its time. I am enrolled in the LPN to BSN through ISU, and I am thrilled with the opportunity that they offer. Alot of people are hard on TCN b...

I just had to post to say that I took my NCLEX-PN on Friday Jan.21st at 0900 and PASSED!!!!! I am so excited! I really convinced myself that I had done badly, but evidently I did okay! I had ALOT of psych questions that really threw me , I did not ex...

IF I was rude I appologize, I dont see that as much as I seen it from the OP to previous posters, but, yet again to each his own. Most of the oposition if from non wearers and most of the defenders are currently and or have been wearers of artificia...

WOW! 24 months to be a LPN? that is twice as long as it took me . What state are you in? Here in FL, it takes one year and there is NO difference IF Those degrees are great to have if they are for you, but if your goal is to be a nurse, go for your L...

Here are a few facts that may or may not help. 1) LPN school is shorter , and dont let that make you think ( or anyone else I might add ) it isnt tough and challenging, but in a year , you are a NURSE. 2.) There are options for earning your degree fo...

Wow! You really, really like being right! haha, Thats okay though, makes for interesting conversation. I do agree that there are some documented misfortunes where fake nails are concerned, my point is this, As a nurse simply forgettting to wash your ...

Jeesh Cathie your being a little harsh arent you? Pent up hostility? IF you think that being upset because someone is yet again telling us some aspect of our personal life and choices must be changed to accomodate keeping our jobs,is the making of a ...

Thankyou so much you guys! It really makes me smile to come and look at all of these. I really have found great advice, friends, and support from this website.

Depends on where you work. Some facilities require solid colors ( although the traditional white is usually not one of them ) some units of hospitals require you to wear the same color so you are easily identified. Mostly from what I have seen, you c...

Kate, There is a book that does give you information about the new way of testing , Im not sure of the name, but know someone who has it. I looked through it but didnt pay it much attention becuase I knew I would be taking mine before the new format ...

Here in Florida the state BON says that if you fail, you lose your GPN status. THe facility must make you stop practicing as a nurse until you retake the exam, and you have to wait 90 days for that. Most facilities will make you a CNA or PCT and lowe...

Hi, I graduated on December 9th and take my NCLEX Jan 21st. I am very nervous but the few people from our class that have already taken it have all passed. My instructor said the best possible thing you can do is relax and remember you know this stuf...

I have posted on this subject once before but wanted to respond to a couple of the last few posts. I dont really think that I would like personally for me to go to work and be able to have no patient load, and just float to see who needs help. Where...
