Hi Kelly, there is some great info online, look up nurse entrepreneurs. I met an amazing lady through their FB page who created an ebook on how to get started on your own, not sure I can give her name here. As for me, I began getting my own clients t...
Looking for some advice! I graduated LPN school and I'm taking the NCLEX on 2/24. I was offered a job in a subacute rehab making $30 hourly in Maine. They IV train their new nurses. They also train their nurses for 2-6 weeks, however much you need. I...
Hey all...
I became an LPN in February 2021. I worked for about a year in a skilled rehab, weekends only. I recently switched to correctional nursing at the county jail, weekends only. (I work two 12's and I am a SAHM during the week.) This post...

A felony dui? I have a misdemeanor DWI and I completed my nursing program and got approved for boards. Here's my advice... Be honest on your application, because they find it no matter what. I had to write a letter explaining what happened and provid...

Hi! I just completed an LPN program and our class ages ranged from 21-50 ...many of them in late 30s. You are at just the right age! My mom had a state job for 25 years and at age 50 changed careers and was much happier. I think LVN/LPN is a great fi...
Lab used to make me nervous too. Sometimes I would practice alone just to get the hang of it before working with a partner. You can watch Youtube videos while practicing the skills. Don't quit. It takes some of us awhile to learn the hands on skills,...

I wouldn't wait until your daughter finishes highschool...go after your goal now. Try not to compare and worry about what others are doing...if you don't become an RN you may feel regret in your later years. If you become an RN in your early-mid 50s,...

I plan to be an RN, but I chose to become an LPN first. I am 4 months away from graduating. I have 3 little girls, and a day RN program was not practical for me because I take care of my daughters during the day, so I go to school part time evenings ...
Hi! If you are second guessing becoming a nurse, you are not too far in to change your mind, although I'm sure you will feel bad about the money and time spent. But if your heart isn't in it, you shouldn't force yourself to continue. On the other han...
Hello! This is my first post. I just applied for an LPN program in Covington, Tennessee that starts in May. I took the HESI exam and got an 85%... Reading was 86% and Math was 84%. Now I have to wait to be invited to orientation. I am so hopeful to b...
For some reason your email address is coming up as invalid on my yahoo. Can you try emailing me at [email protected]? I have a question for you!! Thank you
Thank you! The evening program starts a few weeks before my baby is due...so it will be a little crazy but my husband plans to help out. However, the day program starts 4 months after baby is due. So we will see. I will definitely send an update! Two...
I'm in a similar position! I applied for an evening/weekend part time LPN program and I really hope to get in. I have a 7 year old, a 4 year old and I am expecting my third child in May. I homeschool my children during the day (only 4 hours a day.) I...
Thank you!! I'm glad you like the program. I'm hoping to get into the evening program. Do you remember if clinical days start right away or after a few weeks/months? Are you planning to work as an LPN right after graduation?
