Last semester was a disaster for me dieting I gain a lot of what I lost in weight watchers Lots if study eating and 16 hour shifts at work I'm back on plan Greek yogurt Hard boiled egg Fresh veg Fresh fruit Sandwich

When do your classes start, and what are you taking? Ours start Tuesday September 3rd 7 week of medical surgical nursing ,1st half of semester 7 weeks of psychiatric nursing , second half

I like college ruled, white paper! Not the greyish/ blueish paper

My professors loved me, and I wore Disney T-shirts, and jeans. I am a straight A student. Be professional, work hard and be comfortable. I was put together at clinical, slick back pony tail, crisp clean pressed uniform. Be you, if you have a presentation dress more professional.

Once again commuter, you did an great job explains an LPN I live your myths so true I will add I make a great salary as a LPN. Better then a lot of RNs in other states I'm in NY.

My mom gave me a nurse Christmas ornament when I was in LPN school, I wouldn't put it on my tree till I graduated and passed my boards. I told her she could see it the next Christmas. I took my boards July 2nd found out I passed on the 4th, and my mom passed away suddenly on July 8th. I didn't want to jinx anything either. I wonder if I should of hung it so she could see it. I would of never wore anything with nurse on it before I became a nurse Ps An LPN is a nurse

I became a LPN at 40

I commute about an hour each way.

I think it's normal, just smile and thank them. The one good tho g about nursing school is your so busy, you don't see family much.

That is what I'm going I love being a nurse, and finished my first semester of RN school. Good luck

Haters gotta hate! When I went to LPN school, the place I was working were placing bets on long before I failed out. I was valedictorian in the LPN program, and continue to have a 4.0 in my RN program. Use it to motivate you!

I starting talking to someone in chemistry We become great friends We took Chem, A&P 1 and 2 , micro, development psych and now in RN program together. We are in a ADN program, I see us doing BSN together.

I work rehab in a LTC Our shifts are 6:30-2:30 2:30-10:30 10:30-6:30

The only class that that plays in is fundamentals, I just took and got an A It was tough, but not more sob then LPN.

Whatever subject you are in at that moment.

I have ulcerative colitis Last semester was tough, I let my professors know, only after I had an issue Good luck

I thought I'd bump this with one Be the change you wish to see in the world.....Gandhi

4.0 in everything

I hated it also Hang in there

Became a LPN at 40 Will become a RN when I turn 45 Nope not too late

Paying

I'm doing this now, I'm a LPN my job is suing for RN everything but, books and uniforms. I need to give back four years, in that time I will gain tons of experience, and my BSN. I do love where I work. I would not do it if I didn't. Also in this job market, I will have a job!

Poop happens, deal with it

We don't have drug stats for the RN program I'm in. The LPN one had one to get in. I work as a LPN at 2 different places , one had a drug test one didn't. I say bring it, I have nothing to hide. I would like to think if I had a problem someone would offer help.

I am doing steps, it works for me. I did a 1 year LPN program, found a job right out of school. Started my pre-recs. received a scholarship from where I work RN school paid for( not books or uniforms) I started a ADN RN program January 2014 will graduate December 2014. Then I will do BSN, then NP. I feel the more education, more work experience never hurt anyone. You must do what's right for you.
