Thank you for the advice. I didn't know I could actually change my username, so at first I made a whole new account. But then I realized I could change it, so I did.

No one?

Great advice. The LPN program I am starting actually allows you to take your CNA certification exam three months into the program. That's what I'm hoping to be able to do, and it gives me enough time to figure out if I'll be able to handle working an...

I'm starting an LPN program next month. It is a 10 month program. After I graduate, my goal is to work as an LPN and bridge to RN while working, so I want to go to school part-time. I have a family and I need to get into the work force as soon as I c...

That, and I'd like to have the experience as well so that getting hired as an RN would be a little easier, hopefully anyway!

If I had the option, I'd go straight for RN. I am doing LPN first because I need to get into the work force ASAP since I have a family, then bridge to RN.

My classes are scheduled for M-F 8-3. I don't know if clinicals are going to be different, because that's not mentioned in any of the paperwork I've received and I don't start class until next month.

Congratulations! :) You have worked very hard and deserve this.

Ha! Funny you should say that. I just added Anatomy & Physiology for Dummies to my Amazon wishlist the other day. Congrats on your good grade, by the way! :) I haven't bought any sneakers or anything yet, though. I did find a nursing student plan...

So exciting! :) Are you doing anything to prepare? I just finished reading How To Succeed In Nursing School: Before, During, & After by Caroline Porter. It was a total waste of time. Now I'm sticking to browsing/posting on reddit's nursing and st...

Oh, I wasn't planning on basing a job off salary. Just thought it would be good info to know :) I'm curious, mostly. And wondering if Indeed is anywhere near correct :)

Awesome! I am excited but also so very nervous. My name is Kristi, by the way. I'm 23 and I live in Painted Post. I will be going to Coopers Campus. Will you be at Cooper or Bush?

I don't have any feedback as I haven't attended yet, but I start at Boces next month! Did you end up choosing Boces or CCC? It was between the two for me as well, but I want to start work ASAP so I decided to go with Boces and then bridge to RN at CC...

I'll post some things I plan on ordering so far: Saunders Student Nurse Planner to write down all of my assignments/test dates. Also has nursing info and tips written throughout! :) Nursing Terminology QuickStudy Guide Anatomy & Physiology fo...

What is WIA?

Hey! I'm upstate. I'm going to GST Boces in Corning, NY.

@4everstudent15 Good luck! I am starting my 10-month program in a few weeks. I also have two young kids (daughters, ages 5 and 8) and a good support system and plan on working as a CNA once I get certified through the LPN program which should be some...

So far, I've bought: This medical terminology study guide: Medical Terminology:The Basics (Quick Study Academic): Inc. BarCharts: 9781572225381: Amazon.com: Books This "How to Succeed in Nursing School: Before, During and After" book that I do not re...

Might I ask what part of upstate NY? I'm in the Corning area and going into the LPN program this year in August. That pay is really disappointing...

I am in upstate New York. I start my 11-month porgram in August. After I am able to get the CNA certification, I plan to TRY to work as a CNA while I finish school. Once I graduate, I want to work as an LPN and try to continue for my RN. :) I also ha...

Hello everyone - I am 22 years old and got my GED last summer. I am supposed to start school this fall for Nursing. I have to take my assessment test on July 8th. (If it matters, it is at Corning Community College in New York.) I know absolutely not...

What are co-reqs? And thank you!! :)

Thank you. This is what I was confused about.

Thank you! This is the answer I was looking for.
