shan409 ASN, BSN, LPN, RN

I'm happy to hear this. I am looking at Schoolcraft or OCC for my LPN-RN and have heard that Schoolcraft is the way to go (from some of my instructors at DU that have also taught at Schoolcraft).

Congrats!!!!!

I'm awesome! Thanks for asking. Finished the LPN program the first week of August and am now waiting to take the NCLEX.

Thanks everyone! Yes, NCLEX is next. I have my Kaplan test prep class this Wednesday and Thursday. I'm excited.

Congrats!!!!!

Hello all! Wondering if anyone is in or is starting the BSN @ Davenport. I've spoken with someone at the Warren and Livonia campuses and am reassured that the BSN is the way for me to go. I've been on HFCC's waitlist and was scheduled to start ITT...

I wanted to know if anyone is aware if there are any laws or percentage requirements for schools to continue to thrive if majority of current students will not pass (more than 60% of my current class, in our last semester does not have at least an 80...

Congrats! Keep the faith and hang in there!

I plan on bridging through as well. I have one more semester to finish my LPN (will be done August 2015 ), getting married in October (taking the fall semester off), taking a few more pre-reqs in the winter semester, and plan on starting a LPN-RN (A...

Always think about safety (especially when repositioning and transferring) and airway.

Congrats! Almost there!

Congrats ladies! I am looking to start OCC for my LPN-RN. I finish my LPN (from Davenport this summer). I need to check it out soon. Are nursing classes offered at all campuses or is everyone that is in the same cohort pretty much together?

Hi, I am unsure of how their acceptance process is, but if you have to write an essay, then explain your passion and journey thus far. I am currently at Davenport for my LPN (I plan on bridging through my nursing journey, LPN-RN, RN-BSN, etc...), an...

AWESOME! Nursing school has stipulations that aren't there for medical degrees. Being a "book smart" nurse will get you no where on the floor. Critical thinking is what makes a nurse, an awesome nurse.

Congrats! I can't wait until I'm there!

I'm so excited that I passed my first semester of my PN program. We need an 80 to pass our nursing classes so: Fundamental - 82.5 B Pharmacology 1 - 85 B Fundamental Clinical - A 1 semester down, 2 to go! Yayyyy!!!! I want to thank everyone that i...

Hi, I'm a current LPN student at Davenport (Warren) and alot of my class just got accepted into the BSN program. I like our school (for the most part). Being a private university, it is more expensive than most of the public universities (and for t...

That's kinda awesome for me, as chem is not my strong suit. I got an A- in my first A&P at Davenport, and am understanding A&P II well. But Chem! That's another story.

I can so relate and if anyone can give a nursing student a pat on the bad its a fellow nursing student. I am in my second semester (out of 3) and can not wait until I pass everything. Being a mommy, working, getting above an 80 in all of our nursin...

I finished my associate (liberal arts) from HFCC last summer, then transferred to Davenport after being accepted into their LPN program. So I am looking to go back to HFCC (or Schoolcraft or OCC, whomever accepts me first)for their LPN-RN next year ...

Hi, Davenport's (Warren campus) PN program was not difficult to get into. I transferred credits from Henry Ford (associate of arts) and Baker (I was going to Auburn Hills and Allen Park campus), so you will be fine with that part. I took everything...

I am taking my LPN at a University (they offer LPN/BSN/MSN, no RN), and yes it is higher in tuition than a community college, but much less than a trade school. I would advise going to a community college that offers LPN to RN (ADN) step ladder. Th...

At the hospital I work at you are allowed to use tablets/i-pads, but not your "smartphone" (that does the same thing, go figure right?). In the LPN program I am in, we were encouraged to purchase our books electronically to be put on up to 5 devices...

I love Khan academy (esp. for med-surg)

Thanks, time managment is key! Study those NCLEX style questions in the back of the chapters (if they are in your book). Your fellow students will be there to help you, so make good relationships.
