  1. LPNs and LPN students, be PROUD!

    lucyloo1 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is what it boils down to...you're always going to be "encouraged" to get more education and more letters behind your name. It is the world we live in and everything is about competition. To this...

  2. LPN to RN Bridge

    lucyloo1 replied to campks's topic in LPN to RN

    Congrats! The best advice I could give would be: if you're not already, learn to be an independent learner! For me, I love online schooling. Im not one who needs lectures or constant direction. I...

  3. Buried in paperwork...This is NOT why I became a nurse.

    lucyloo1 replied to wilsonbl5150's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ive been a nurse 15 yrs and charting/paperwork will always be vital. Although annoying and time consuming, its what makes the medical field 'go round'. Now depending on where you work it can be more...

  4. Will working in a Home Health Agency guarantee you stable P/T or F/T job?

    lucyloo1 replied to bobonurse2012's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Home health can be very unpredictable. I worked for an agency, but honestly it wasnt steady. As others have said, it depends on the case load and amount of nurses they have employed. It can be steady...

  6. university of rio grand and accredidation question...HELP!

    lucyloo1 replied to sueture's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You only take it once to get in...yes I passed the first time and had a high enough score to be accepted (thankfully). If your score is too low you only have two other shots to pass (thats typical for...

  7. university of rio grand and accredidation question...HELP!

    lucyloo1 replied to sueture's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yeah, thats the only downer is its harder to get in and they only take one class a year. But dont get discouraged, I felt the same way last year and I just told myself Im gonna study as much as I...

  8. university of rio grand and accredidation question...HELP!

    lucyloo1 replied to sueture's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Wow your pretty close to me. We probably have seen each other shopping on Wilmington Pike somewhere:) I went to my doctors office and they did hep B and mmr titres, it showed I was still immune so I...

  9. university of rio grand and accredidation question...HELP!

    lucyloo1 replied to sueture's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I just finished the eight week A&P course which is NUR13606...some do not need to take that if they have previous credits that are recent. I graduated from LPN school in 1998, and didn't have any...

    Hi hippydippy....I would be glad to answer any questions I can for you..fire away. I'll answer what I can, I just finished the first eight weeks of the first semester (before that, the initial 12...

  11. Need help. How do I sound the politest way possible?

    lucyloo1 replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ive noticed that too. Where are you from? When I was in school ( many yrs ago) it was nothing to have 30-35 residents in LTC and in the hospital we usually had 2 maybe 3 but we were told that would...

  12. Need help. How do I sound the politest way possible?

    lucyloo1 replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Be confident in yourself...whether its 2, 3, or 6 patients things could go relatively smooth or fall apart! Thats the good thing about nurses, they help each other. I would imagine even if they give...

  13. Frustrations of a new grad

    lucyloo1 replied to pophysis22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hang in there...it will get better. Unfortunately, in nursing (as in many other professions) proving yourself is focused on. Even though you feel you already proved yourself by graduating and getting...

  14. new LPN starts tomorrow!

    lucyloo1 replied to futurelpnjap's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Congratulations! I think whatever job you do as a new grad may be scary, overwhelming, and even difficult...but remember, you ARE a nurse now! That license in your corner says you accomplished what...

  15. For all you LPN/LVN's out there, was it hard to find a job after graduation?

    lucyloo1 replied to I♥Scrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I graduated with my LPN 15 years ago and it was not difficult at all then to find a job. I was hired before I even got my results back from boards. Like someone else said, it all depends on where you...

  16. university of rio grand and accredidation question...HELP!

    lucyloo1 replied to sueture's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I agree! If I knew then what I know now, I probably would have lived it up a bit more in my youth! Now I'm too tired :-) I would enjoy to keep in touch and find out what you decide...and If I can help...

  17. LPN to RN Bridge

    lucyloo1 replied to campks's topic in LPN to RN

    I am in an LPN-RN program online at Rio Grande University in southern Ohio. All schools can differ, but generally the pre-reqs are Eng. Comp I and II, Sociology, and Speech. Most everything else you...

  18. university of rio grand and accredidation question...HELP!

    lucyloo1 replied to sueture's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi sueture! I live in the Dayton area and am currently enrolled in the URG LPN-RN online course. So far it is going very well. I've done online learning in many other courses and love it. I have...

  19. LPN to RN online schools

    lucyloo1 replied to teddybear_972's topic in LPN to RN

    Hi Teddybear...everything I've read about the College Network was basically a joke. So many people have been swindled by them and are now in so much debt it's sad. I don't know where you're from,...
