  1. LPN in the Army at my age

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Government, Military

    At my age I thought I was too old for them. The Navy and AF have cutoff ages lower than the Army for enlisted personnel. Plus the Navy has Corpsmen and don't officially have LPN's. At least that's...

  2. LPN in the Army at my age

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Government, Military

    The recruiter also told me that it's worth me waiting to finish my BSN. "Coming in as an officer os a night and day difference" she says. Thank you, SGT

    CDH504 may I ask if you came in as an LPN or did you go to AIT? I'm wondering if I'd already be an LPN would AIT be

  4. LPN in the Army at my age

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Government, Military

    Yes it is. It's kinda odd to think about being the "pops" at BCT but I'm liking it. Also, there are continued benefits even with the Sequestration. Alphabet Soup is the order of the

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Government, Military

    Definitely E-4 during BCT. Specialist. Either meet height/weight or bodyfat % requirements. LPN will have a MOS 68C soon (hope that's correct). No longer a Whiskey (Charlie now?) The associate degree...

  6. LPN in the Army at my age

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Government, Military

    That's not a bubble-bustin' scenario. It's an opportunity to show how invaluable I am to an organization. While your news can rain on other's parade I dance in that very downpour. I look forward to...

  7. LPN in the Army at my age

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Government, Military

    I made an appointment for tomorrow morning. I looked on the site and it says if I have 48+ semester credits I come in as an E-3. I may be wrong to figure E-4 with LPN certification. Shouldn't an LPN...

  8. LPN in the Army at my age

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Government, Military

    Also, since my program is a certificate I'm guessing that doesn't help but does having an associate's degree help along with being an LPN when I go to sign the

  9. Indiana State U LPN-BSN Online

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Indiana State University

    When I looked on their site, there are a few states that don't recognize their curriculum. Montana Minnesota Nevada Arizona Kansas Oklahoma Arkansas Louisiana Tennessee South Carolina New York New...

  15. TEAS V Study Plan

    pacjeffery posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Now I could be wrong. But in failing the TEAS V before I devised an idea. I went on the ATI website and got my assessment report. I then looked at my "focused" review they generated. I printed all the...

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I looked into all programs. The ADN programs with their prerequisite study is comparable in length to a couple of LPN-BSN programs. If I can't find a one year LPN bridge program I think I will stick...
