  4. Un-supportive Influences!!

    First of all, you have to realize that NOONE understands the unrelenting demands of nursing school unless they've been through it. Secondly, sometimes you have be okay with letting people go for a while. I have had to let a couple people take the bac...

  8. Becoming an LPN while in RN school

    So, I am in my last 8 months of FAMU's BSN program in Tallahassee, FL, and I take my NCLEX-PN in four days!! I found out a while back that you could challenge the boards for LPN, but could never really find much info from people who actually did it. ...
  9. Becoming an LPN while in RN school

    Also, my email address is [email protected]. If it is allowed in your state, I'd be glad to share the application process with you.
  10. Becoming an LPN while in RN school

    I'm not sure if New Jersey allows the LPN equivalency like Florida does. This is how the FL application showed it. It's called PNEQ.
  11. Becoming an LPN while in RN school

    Just wanted to give an update.. I've been working as an LPN for two months now, while still enrolled full-time in a BSN program. My classes are Tuesday-Friday and I've been working 7a-7p every Saturday and Sunday. I haven't had a weekend off in 8 wee...

  13. Becoming an LPN while in RN school

    Thanks for all the good luck :) I was offered a position at 2 of the 3 places I interviewed for.. the home health shut me down before I even interviewed because I have no experience. But I can understand why home health nurses need experience- since ...

    So I got my official license last week! So exciting!!! Now, I've been applying to job around town, and have found that I'm getting a much better response from applying in person vs online. Just a tip for any of you out there starting as a new LPN. I ...
  15. Becoming an LPN while in RN school

    It's encouraging to hear from all you LPN's who were able to make it work! :) I'm hoping to find a job where I can work two or three 10-12 hr shifts every weekend, so that I can have the weekdays off for school. We'll just have to see what opportunit...
  16. Becoming an LPN while in RN school

    Just got home from taking my NCLEX!! The test stopped at the minimum number of questions, and I was surprised how many "select all that apply" there were. I swear, they were at least half of my 85 questions! Anyways, I feel good about it, and just go...
  17. Becoming an LPN while in RN school

    Wow! A lot of input here! Challenging the boards is still an option here in FL. My interest in working as an LPN before I graduate comes from 2 places. 1) The pay as an LPN in Tallahassee is far beyond what I would make picking up some other part-ti...

    Hello everyone!! I haven't found a thread for this Fall's group of nursing applicants. So far, I've been denied to 5 universities and have applied to 5 more programs around the state, including TCC. Although I didn't want to settle for an ASN, TCC's ...
