  1. Anyone from WA state gone through Excelsior LPN to RN?

    lpnstudent2013 posted a topic in Excelsior College

    I'm looking for an online program for my LPN to RN that will allow me to get there as quickly as possible. Is it possible to CLEP out of most of the pre reqs and most of the actual courses? And anyone...

  3. Oregon LPN's NCLEX

    lpnstudent2013 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    How long did it take you to find out if you passed your NCLEX? I took mine yesterday (8 am on Oct 17th) and I keep checking the OSBN website but it still just has my CNA license. The test shut off at...

  4. What was your first LPN job?l

    lpnstudent2013 replied to HoneyLPNurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just got my first nursing job. I'm in orientation this week. Then I get 5 days of shadowing and I'm on my own. It's skilled nursing and I'll have 16-20 patients. I'm nervous but excited. I did my...

    lpnstudent2013 replied to lpnstudent2013's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Update: My new LPN license showed up the next morning on the website. Yay!!! So

  6. Is there really a future for new LPN's??

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Sharls237's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in Washington State and it's pretty much the same here as everywhere else that I've heard about. The hospitals hire LPN's but they are called techs and are only paid a couple dollars more than...

  7. Tired of being responsible for grown adults!

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Mainergal2000's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sounds like my program. It is really frustrating. Too many people just want to get through without doing anything to earn it, and then those of us who are dedicated get punished for it. It makes me...

  8. Being a CNA

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes. I believe every nursing student needs to work as a CNA. I can't stand that half my nursing class is "above" CNA work. Drives me crazy!!! If you don't want to wipe butts and clean up puke, please...

  9. Clinical uniforms?

    lpnstudent2013 replied to kjrobinetteSN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    All gray matching top and bottom scrubs. With the school logo on them. But they are unisex so they fit horribly on females. Half of us went and bought our own scrubs in the same color so we could get...

  10. How Many people did your program start out with?

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Philly_LPN_Girl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  11. 1MONTH TO GO!!!!!!!

    lpnstudent2013 replied to cmm4ever's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Only 4 more weeks here! Last final for LPN is October 11th. NCLEX here I come. So

  12. How Many people did your program start out with?

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Philly_LPN_Girl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Started with 20, 2 dropped in the first quarter because they couldn't keep up, 1 dropped in the 2nd quarter due to being super grossed out in clinicals, no one dropped in 3rd quarter, and now in our...

  13. Get LPN through Tech School vs Community College?

    lpnstudent2013 replied to GoFar's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I chose a private college LPN program because I would've had to do all my pre reqs (1-2 years), wait for acceptance (1year), and then do the program (2 years) at the CC. So instead I went to a one...

  14. ATI LPN Books

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Philly_LPN_Girl's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My school uses ATI. I love the videos, practice tests, and rationales. The only thing I don't like is the lack of an index and glossary, like others have said. We have taken end of semester exams now...

  15. Last semester!!!!! Whoop whoop!

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations! I start my final semester in a month and then I graduate in October. I can't believe how fast the time has gone! It's crazy. And so

  16. Med error for new 2013 nurse

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Terrified83's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I made my first med error as a nursing student. It was absolutely awful! I felt horrible. The patient was fine, just got twice the dose needed of a vaccine. I had to call the Dr. and call the family...

  17. Do your classmates really care?

    lpnstudent2013 replied to do-over at 40's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yeah I feel the same in my program. About half the class really cares and tries hard and shows up on time and turn in their homework on time. The rest just don't do their homework and call in sick all...

  18. LPN students, were you able to continue taking BSN pre-requisites

    lpnstudent2013 replied to HeatherMax's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I might have in my first semester, but after that it has gotten so intense that there is no way. I was going to try, but am really glad I didn't because I barely have time to complete all of my...

  19. Carrington College, Portland OR July 2012

    lpnstudent2013 replied to nursetabitha's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You will have to finish your GED first. You don't need any pre requisites though. Those are all part of the program. However, you can do them at a CC for cheaper and then transfer those credits to...

  20. hep b vaccine

    lpnstudent2013 replied to Nursingstudent93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in Washington state, going to school in Oregon. Both states allow you to sign a waiver for the Hep B. I went ahead and got mine just because you never know what you will encounter in nursing. I...

  22. LPN SCHOOL DRAMA!!

    lpnstudent2013 replied to YesImVictorious's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just do my own thing as much as possible. I am nice to everyone, but am not there to make friends, or to gossip about other classmates. I just want to be a nurse. That's all. Our program is just as...

  23. Clinicals - I hate them!

    lpnstudent2013 replied to MTmomofsix's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You could've practically been writing about my first LPN clinical experience. I went into my first rotation with 6 months of CNA work at a SNF under my belt and was so excited about getting my hands...

  24. Flashcard App

    lpnstudent2013 replied to MTmomofsix's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I use flashcardlet on my iPhone. It's also a really good

  25. Nurse treatment center for clinicals: what can I expect?

    lpnstudent2013 posted a topic in General Students

    I get to do my clinical rotation the next 4 months at a nurse treatment center. What can I expect to see and do? I'd love to hear from anyone who's worked or done clinical rotations in one.
