  1. LPN to BSN

    Can someone give a list of LPN to BSN programs that are online?? I'm one of 13 people who need an online program and so far the only one I see is ISU and excelsior. Not a fan of Excelsior though.
  2. Growing Up Unvaccinated

    I was mostly unvaccinated as a child. Not bc of my mom thinking any of the myths, but bc I was almost one of the 2 in 10 that die from a tetanus shot. I had an anaphylactic response when I was a baby. So my mom was so scared she only opted to give me...
  3. LPN to BSN

    Thank you. I am looking into ISU. Just nervous about those 4 exams you have to take. I think I may have to go through the college network after all. I have to buy the study guides anyway. I have a lot of schooling done and my TEAS test completed as w...
  4. Science prereqs at ISU

    Unicbabe can you tell me how to study for the four tests you have to take? I need more info in ISU. I am currently in an LPN program. I graduate in June. If like to get rolling on my RN ASAP after that. :) thanks.
  5. Should I get a job as CNA during nursing school

    I am a CNA. I think it is helpful. I am also a student nurse and it's helped me to know what ask of my staff when I become a nurse. It also helps to know what is a good workload for one aid and if I am asking too much of them. I hope this makes sense...
  6. Attending Medtech Lpn program!!!

    I currently know 1 person in the me drench program and she loves it. I personally would stick with IUPUI only bc it's hard to find a transition program for RN if you want to be a RN anyway. The hospital just laid off all the LPNs so that's why I am l...
  7. J Everett Light Nurses

    Yes the last class is going to graduate in December 2014. I am in the second to last class. It is sad bc so many people loved this program bc it was small and it didn't have a lot of people in it.
  8. Hey all. Looking for a program for LPN-BSN in Indiana. I have heard of Excelsior and the College Network. Any others that are awesome programs that anyone could tell me about??
  9. Online schools--need some guidance and opinions

    So would you suggest Excelsior?
  10. J Everett Light Nurses

    You cannot apply to JEL anymore. They've decided after 40 years to close the LPN program. They are trying to fight to stay open but the first semester class is the last class that will graduate from the LPN program.
  11. J. Everett Light?

    Anyone attending J. Everett Light this year?
  12. J Everett Light Nurses

    Good job!! I am in second semester! Good luck to you!
  13. New LPN/RN Pay Rate

    Where I work they hire RNs at $30 an hour. It's LTC.
  14. J. Everett Light?

    Awesome!! They tell everyone to not work. They want you to be successful in school. I am working 1 day a week and pickup weekend shifts here and there and I have 5 boys ranging from 4-16. If I can do this so can you:) I have an advantage of knowing s...
  15. J Everett Light Nurses

    I go to JEL. I am 1st semester. You can work and do the program. Especially if you have taken anatomy and know math well. I only have to take pharm, fundamentals, math, and contemporary. I do not have to take anatomy bc I received a credit for it bc ...

    Man:: "mommy save me! That bad lady has a needle " Nurse:: " quit being a baby! You'd think it was a filter needle!"
  17. Ready to scream!

    I am a mom of 5. I am in my first semester of LPN school. I know how you feel. Although I have my husband to rely on sometimes it feels like I am neglectful of my kids. My oldest once said that he sees me work so hard so that makes him want to work h...
  18. J. Everett Light?

    I started the program! Much luck to you when you start in August. I would set back about $700 for school at least. Books are about $500 then you have a couple other fees (lab kit, lab shirt, parking permit, etc)
  19. J. Everett Light?

    I went down there tuesday. I qualify for a full pell grant but it doesn't cover all expenses. Especially for the summer session. Summer session costs $2400 out of pocket unless you have a full pell grant. Mine will be 1300 that is covered for that se...
  20. J. Everett Light?

    Yeah I am in the works on that. I filled out a FAFSA and my loans are something I need to discuss with them.
  21. J. Everett Light?

    I am in for January. I was enrolled at Ivy Tech so I already took a TEAS and they accepted that.
  22. Frustrated.

  23. Im curious and want to see absolute honesty

    My answer to this is BOTH. I like being a CNA but I want to have Less backaches! I also would not even bother if it didn't pay well. I love working with the patients and like helping people. I absolutely hated working as a cashier. That is not my ide...
  24. Average TEAS V Score? Your score?

    Does it have more helpful information than the TEAS V study guide because I felt like that was useless.
  25. Average TEAS V Score? Your score?

    I got a 68.7. I'm really upset as I know that this probably won't be good enough to get into the LPN program at my school. I think I would be ok but I don't really feel that my study guide for the TEAS helped at all. I got the ATI teas book. Any othe...
