Hello I just submitted my last paper for the program last night !! I really enjoyed this program. Some people are able to finish it in 6 months or less and I can see how they can but I finished it 18 months. My advice is to contact the course instructors immediately if you are confused. They Are helpful. There’s also a facebook group that’s helpful ! Good luck !

Hello! I went through the same situation! I currently work in an alf and I am the only nurse that is even hired in my facility. When I first started I was so stressed. I was a brand new lpn trying to figure out my roles and responsibilities. At my facility the med techs give meds so I only fill in as needed which is hardly ever. I have a lot of paperwork and a lot of residents need more care then we have staffing to provide so I'm always getting called into residents rooms and assessing situations occasionally providing care. My advice to you is when in doubt send them out! I send atleast 1 person to the hospital weekly. There's about 130 residents in the facility including a dementia unit. I've been working there for almost 2 years so I know all my residents and I feel comfortable and confident with my nursing judgment. I had a few days of training with the Lpn that I was replacing and then I was on my own. I don't particularly like my job because of the stress level. The aides are so good during my shift which is great. But you will get to know all of your residents which then allows you to know their baselines so you know what's normal and what's not. Please let me know if I can help you any further.

Hello! I was hoping someone could help me. I'm doing everything I can to get into the spring semester RN program. I'm an LPN and taking my last pre-req this fall. I'm also trying to get into Nur 100. However, I was wondering when should I get my physical? AND what excelsior exam am I supposed to take? It's expensive I don't want to take the wrong one! Thanks for your assistance!!
