I started in psych. I left and went to med-surg. And now I'm back in psych!

In my case, a BF is the cause of it.

Wow ok I may seem boring, but I am a morning person! It is still hard to get up early. But I usually pack my lunch the night before and have all of my things ready as well. When my alarm goes off at 0430, with my eyes half open, I just get up and stumble straight to the coffee pot!

I'm an LPN/LVN and I do work in a hospital, that does hire LPN's.

Just curious... Did you ever find out what that word was?

I would certainly get the most recent edition of NCLEX review material. Saunders is good. I also used the NCSBN Learning Extension for review. NCSBN Learning Extension . NCLEX preparation . Continuing Education for Nurses . Nursing Faculty Education

Put in your info and voila! Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians

I usually have eggs and wheat toast for breakfast, but some days, I'm just not feeling breakfast. When that happens, I have a protein shake. I always have coffee and I always bring quick healthy snacks and try to eat every 3-4 hours.

Yaaaay!! Congratulations!!! :D

Grats on passing HESI! When I took the NCLEX, I studied Saunders, NCSBN Review, and a little ATI.

Call back. Never too late. Just tell her that you're returning her call. Let her know you returned her call earlier, but she was busy, and ask if she received your message.

Grats for passing!! :)

If EA is your first choice, then wait the 30 days to retake it. If I'm reading it right, the only difference between the 2 schools sounds like it's 4K. To me, 1.5 hours one way is a long trip, but if you're motivated enough to do it consistently throughout the program, then bravo! The rep at the school closer to you sounds like she's just trying to get you enrolled in anything she can to make a quota. If you want to be an LPN, then that is what you should do. At least as an LPN, in the future, you can enroll in an LPN to RN program and receive credit.

Science pre-reqs online exist, but are hard to come by. When you do find them, they are very expensive, mostly because of the lab components. Personally, I would recommend physically taking those classes in the classroom. But I also understand sometimes that is difficult. I'm sure there are more, but I know of one school that is approved for their science pre-reqs. Ocean County CollegeWhatever class you take, make sure it is from an accredited school and will be accepted by the institution you will be pursuing a degree from. I would check with them before taking any pre-req classes.

GRATS!

For me, it was worth it. Once I got my license, I began taking my pre-reqs, at the same time I was working and gaining valuable experience. I am starting an Advanced Standing RN program this summer and haven't missed a beat (graduate Spring 2014). After that, I will either do RN-BSN or RN-MSN. Haven't decided on that one yet. I strongly feel like having experience as an LPN/LVN, will make things a little easier in the RN program. You have a better idea of what to expect and definitely how to study.

I'm not in Canada , was hired as an LPN, and work in a Hospital. I will be starting an RN program this summer, but was not hired with that expectation.

You passed! Congratulations!!

I was lucky enough to make straight A's. I wanted to stay ahead of the game, so I studied alot, pretty much daily, to make sure that I had a solid understanding of the material, so there were no surprises on test day. You definitely don't want to fall behind in science coursework.

If they are on this list, then you will be able to sit for the NCLEX. And yes, if you plan on pursuing your BSN, you will need the pre-reqs that TheCommuter mentioned. BVNPT - California Approved Schools

40 is not too old! Go for it!

Well personally, I could care less what anyone thinks. That doesn't mean I'm not a caring person, only that I am focused on myself, and not everyone else. Since it's my life to live, I play by my own rules and tend not to get caught up in the who-thinks-what issues. You can only control yourself. Do what makes you happy and don't worry about all the labeling. “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…” ~Dr. Seuss “There are two ways to live; you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle” ~Albert Einstein “Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.” ~Bob Marley

Couldn't have been better said. Thank you!
