Hey Jenn, at that point I had was going through a divorce with a 5 yo, newborn & was also pregnant? I still did it so I'm sure you can too. Being smart has nothing to do with it. Some may need a lil more time to process, but it's still doable. Good luck on your journey.

Hey, not sure if you've landed your ICU position or not as of yet but here's my addition. I was a tech in an ICU 5 years prior to getting my LPN which helped very little since I was floated a lot. I went on several interviews where they all basically looked negatively at my LPN experience in LTC over my years as a tech. I have finally landed a position in the ICU after 4 interviews at different places. I asked each interviewee what did they think I could improve on & what may increase my chances. The last interview was mostly scenario based questions & while I knew most answers they were most impressed with my ability to ask for help when needed when I didn't know the answer. Some students in my class were techs, but most who got the jobs had great people skills, which is something that cant be taught. They want you to fit in with the current staff & feel at home. You can be taught the nursing skills. Good luck with your career.

Hello, I've applied/interviewed & was wondering the same. The recruiter called & told me I had an offer that she would email me & she would cancel my upcoming interview for tomorrow at another facility. Getting worried since its been a few hours with no email or further contact. Guess it'll be OK until tomorrow, plus I don't grad until December anyway. Would like any insight on the ICU for CenterPoint or that facility in general.

Hey. I'm in the Midwest but also faced with these 2 options as well Kindred: LTAC as LPN with possible ICU after grad & Providence: Med surg as LPN then ER after grad, & HCA: Research medical center:ICU after grad. I've declined Kindred due to compressed experience related to my future goals. I've accepted Providence now & I'm still deciding on either Providence or Research after grad. May possibly do both since Providence is OK with keeping me PRN after training.

My experience hasn’t been the best but I think that’s school in general. As another poster replied I too had to find a sitter and was expected to change my plans MID semester last term when they deciding we would do in person clinical in different days instead of the scheduled online classes. They definitely don’t mind switching chi inn schedules yet expect to be paid on time it’s expensive & not that much faster tbh. If you have classes outside of your LPN I’d apply elsewhere. & What’s sad is I’m at the Overland Park campus & I’m having the same issues.... 12/22 me ASAP please? I’m sick of Rasmussen

I never received the info, sorry. I ended up attending Rasmussen.

Hey, I am a student at Rasmussen. I am doing the ADN program as an LPN transfer. I am in my first semester with them now completeting nutrition and Chemistry. They are both completely online in 5.5 weeks. They actually just moved the shot records due date back for those starting in August until the end of the term. You may be able to start late for this term since we just started yesterday.

Hey, I’m due to start the LPN-RN at Rasmussen in a couple weeks. How was it? Did you do their RN-BSN?

Galen has a campus innate as and they’re set up the same way. Check them out. They include pre reqs for you if needed.

Can you send it to me as well. Email: [email protected]

Will they accept NACE/TEAS exam score instead of their GAP exam? Who makes this exam? Would love anymore info you have on this. The advisor who contacted me never mentioned this exam. I’ll be calling the the AM.

Unfortunately you can’t get to the part of the site showing shifts until they give you access, unless you know someone who works for them then you can look on their profile. Also they can’t make you work as an LPN when you’re an RN. They only require 6 months experience. You’ll be doing the same job anyway, just higher pay. I got hired with 8 months of LPN experience.

I've just completed the assessments and drug/background screening for shift key. I've signed up for several shifts this month and 2 were declined, 3 were approved and the rest are still pending. I'm not sure how they decided who to pick, but they declined me and posted the same shift on another agency site. I don't see this as a replacement for my previous job. I will continue to try them out, but I'm definitely going to find a permanent job ASAP.

I took the wonderlic exam at another school. It was basic reading/vocab. the math was a little harder, but still basic. no calculators are allowed. I only missed like 6 out of about 100 questions.

Can you please send me the info as well?
