Sorry if this post doesn't belong here I was unsure if I should post on student nursing or actual lpn board. So ill remove it if I'm in wrong place. I'll try and make this short. I'm 30 and I been wanting to go to school for lpn (who knows maybe b...

I wasn't asking for medical advice anywhere in this thread I was asking for advice on if having back issues (Sciatica to be specific) would prevent me from getting into the nursing field.

Because I don't have health insurance at the moment otherwise I would have went to a chiropractor.

Thank you all for your advice. It's a lot to think about. I appreciate everyone's view on this.

Thanks everyone! I do agree I need to see a doctor who specializes in stuff like this...I was just so upset at getting information like this after this doctor had not even physically examined me and literally spent 2mins speaking to me total. Thank...

I wish you all the best. I didn't want to read and run...your post really touched me.

I'm not the OP, I just seen someone mention the school in Pa being bad and I got worried. As for the 2 schools I listed one is 15mins away the other is 30. However the one that is 15 I know it's not accredited but its approved by state. The whole ac...

Also just wanted to thank you for your help I'm not from Pa just moved here 2yrs ago but I don't know where a lot of stuff is really.

Also just wanted to thank you for your help :) I'm not from Pa just moved here 2yrs ago but I don't know where a lot of stuff is really.

I haven't applied yet. But the 2 schools that are in my area is the Schuylkill Technology Center in Frackville Pa and a tech school in Hazelton Pa. I live in Schuylkill county and there is NOTHING here. If my husband and I didn't share a car and we h...

Just googled ...it's 2hrs away

Thank you! Off too google that school!

This worries me because I'm in northeast Pa and I'm trying to find a lpn school. I found one but I'm very nervous about it not being up to par because its a VoTech school and I can't find it listed being accredited. It's approved by the state though.

The "bad company" was a friend gave them my name telling them I needed a job. I called them they said to come in...asked me nothing..handed me a packet of papers to fill out (references...tax stuff...ect) I turned it in and she told me she had a clie...

Also I'd like to add a few other things. It's not all bad but you need to make sure you work for a good company. I had 2 different company's I worked for along with a family that hired me on their own. One company which is the one I listed in the abo...

Here I found it. I worked HH for 2 different company's in texas at the same time. I have patients 7 days a week. All I did was work and I got to know my patients very well. Company number 1 was a joke...all they cared about was the money! I went to ...

I actually replied to a tread awhile back about something along these lines...let me see if i can find and copy/paste it because its kind of long.

Thanks! Off to check out the apps and book listed!

I'm looking for a good medical terminology book..something that maybe does things by sections and not all at once so I'm not overwhelmed. Also would these books have the medical abbreviations in them too? If not what would a good book be for that? I ...

I just couldn't read and run so I wanted to say I think it's really wonderful you being there for her like that. Wish I had better words of wisdom. Take care :)

Oh ok thanks. In on other side of Pa then lol. 2hrs from Philly. There is NOTHING around here so I'm nervous about being about to find a job.

Congrats on making it one month! I'm going next week to talk to someone about enrolling at the start of 2014. Please keep us updated on what it's like in school. :)

Sorry if this is a bit off topic...I also live in a very small town in Pa and I'm curious what region your in...I'm in NE PA. I have no clue what my starting pay would be so in just trying to ballpark it. Also your the first small town Pa member on h...

I'm still on the fence about enrolling in the lpn program and the main thing that is holding me back is the math. From my research my program is 1yr long at a Vo Tech type school and you don't need pre required classes to start. This is something ill...

The school I'm looking at is a vocational school too. I'm just curious if you like going the VoTech route instead of regular college? I ask because part of me feels like I won't be getting as good of education since I'm not going to a college (I'm no...
