So, I'm a nursing student in the middle semesters (graduate in May). They pair us up with a nurse to be with for a shift and we follow her along and basically do everything for her, with her supervising and teaching us. So, there was an order for two...

I've known since I was about 9 years old that I'm meant to be a NICU nurse. I'm starting actual nursing courses in Jan, so I still have a journey ahead of me. I like to be prepared and to look at things from every possible angle and I seem to researc...

My friend and I are both Dec LPN grads. We are having a really hard time finding any open LPNA positions to complete our 120 hour internship at! At this point we'll likely take anything offered to us within about 45 min radius around Lexington. Also...

I just need to vent... I know many, many have passed this before me but OMG! This is rough. We have our 1st Lab test tomorrow evening, covering everything so far this semester - 4 chapters worth. SO MUCH MEMORIZATION! My brain is telling me..."you've...

my best friend who is also a nurse and I are having a silly little disagreement about something. Just thought we'd settle it here, lol. Say you are a brand new nurse, on a brand new psych (or any) unit. On your first day, would it or would it not be ...

Just wondering if anyone here has entered EKU associates RN program as an LPN. I am considering it, I have heard that EKU's program is one tough cookie, but am just looking for comments/experiences/feedback from anyone who has done the LPN-RN program...

This is my first nursing job interview and I am soooooooo nervous. Has anyone interviewed there? If so, can you tell me about it? Was it just one person or a "team" of people at the interview? What kinds of questions were asked? Ugh. I am not good in...

Well, I made it through LPN school, so RN can't be much worse.....or can it? Especially at EKU! Ha! BTW the husband is now gone, after 14 years, and three of the kids are now 20, 18, and 18. I think they've exhausted about all of my brain cells!

Well, it went okay. I was rear-ended earlier in the day so my mind was a bit distracted. I could have interviewed better, but oh well, what do you do after the fact?! It's routinely up to a 4 week hiring process since its a State job, so now its just...

Oops, I misspoke. My friend is finishing out the RN nursing courses, NUR V & VI at the Lawrenceburg campus, not the Leestown one, as they only have the LPN program there, which we finished. She's hoping the Lawrenceburg campus is better organiz...

my friend just finished Nursing IV this summer at the Cooper Campus and was really disappointed at the lack of organization and at a couple of the teachers. we both completed the LPN program at the Leestown Campus and really had no complaints. my fr...

I graduated in Dec '07, should have graduated in May '07 but severe & sudden marital problems led me to an almost nervous breakdown and with a meeting with my clinical instructors, I was told it would be better for me to take a semester off and c...

Thanks for the congrats and the kind words!!!!! (Still pinching myself here!)

Hi - I'm here....I'll be 37 (!) this fall, just finished the LPN program and trying to decide which LPN to RN Bridge program to attend. I spent most of my life raising seven kiddos, they are all a bit older now, though I can't say it's an easier - ...

sending positive thoughts!

Considering EKU for LPN to RN Bridge Wondering in what ways EKU is "tough" as has been mentioned? For current/former students - what was most "tough" for you personally? Advice would be wonderful!

so where does one find this DVD?

I don't know anyone that studied that much, or even close to that to be honest with you. Like the other posters have said, though, it's specific to the individual and circumstances. Good luck!

This is great for new grads, however for those of us, like myself and some fellow students, it's too little, too late! The BON should have made sure there were ample facilities ready, willing and able to take on all of these students needing an addit...

I'm 36yo and for most of my adult life have been a stay at home mom to 7 kiddos, I graduated from an LPN program Dec '07 and need to find a job ASAP before my 6 months runs out on my provisional license. I have been avoiding making a resume because I...

I recently had a couple of nurses tell me that LPN's are just basically glorified aid in LTC settings. I though that LPN's did mostly the same work as RN's in the LTC setting. I know that everyone needs to be a team and pitch in and get whatever need...

Unfortunately, as the previous poster stated, you have to complete the internship for the provisional license by the 6 mos expiration date. My best friend and I graduated in Dec 07 from the practical nursing program. We have until July to complete ou...

Oh, no problem! Thanks for the advice, and one of the children was born with spina bifida and has major medical problems and paralyzed for life - so that's alot of experience right there!

So, I graduated the PN program in Dec and have received my provisional license, and am now on the hunt for the 120 hour Internship the KY BON requires before I can take the NCLEX. My resume is going to be BARE! I have spent most of my life being mam...

Hey, thanks for the response. That would have been a great idea, why didn't I think of I before I paid the $200 for the NCLEX PN and the $110 for the KY license application?!?!?! Hmmm........going to research....
