    WahineMakai replied to luixbeauty's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  5. LPN Programs - Private or Community College?

    WahineMakai replied to roadspill's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    WahineMakai replied to baynurse10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    WahineMakai replied to cindyjo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  10. A nurse called me a "little pretend nurse!"

    WahineMakai replied to Amber628's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Seriously?? If going from LVN to RN is such an insult and a slap in the face to nursing, then why are there so many LVN-RN bridge programs out there? This is the path I'm planning to take too, and I...

  11. A nurse called me a "little pretend nurse!"

    WahineMakai replied to Amber628's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I haven't started my LVN program yet, but if someone ever says something rude like that to me, I'll use the same response I use for any inappropriate, uncalled-for remark that comes my way: "Wow! Can...

  14. What color are your school's scrubs?

    WahineMakai replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I apologize -- I didn't even think about skirts being worn for religious reasons. I wear skirts on occasion in my daily life, but for physical activity, I feel that pants are so much more comfortable....

  15. The wait is finally over...

    WahineMakai replied to HopefulLPN83's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congrats! I'm an "older" student too (based on info you gave, I think we are probably about the same age.. 33?) and it feels wonderful to finally be starting on educational goals that will lead to my...

  19. What color are your school's scrubs?

    WahineMakai replied to picurn10's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    White pants or skirt (can't imagine who'd choose to wear a skirt in clinicals, but hey) of our choosing, white soft-soled shoes, and the school uniform top. I think the uniform top is light blue with...
