Hello everyone!!! I've been working at a local army base as a GS employee (LPN) for about 6 months now. I plan on starting a LPN to RN hybrid program next fall, and I should finish sometime in 2017. I was told recently by another nurse that I will ha...

Thank u jeckrn! I will definitely go and speak with someone. I would love to stay in the system without having to leave and come back.

I meant to say any former Lpns who have gone through this process I would love to hear from. :)

Great! I'll message you my contact info. :) No, I haven't attended an info session yet. I was told that the next information session won't be until November sometime. Where did you take your A&P 1 class at?

Ok, that doesn't sound too bad. I will make sure to review my dosage calculations. I also have a B.A. Degree and I finished all of my prereqs, but I have to redo my A&P 1 and 2 because Madisonville won't accept my credits from my LPN program. Ho...

I will be applying to the hybrid program so I will still be able to go to school around my work schedule. I took my NCLEX back in 2013, so I will need to refresh on a few things. I found a great study guide off of allnurses that I used to pass my NCL...

Hello there!!! I am planning on applying to their Fall 2016 program. Did you apply to traditional or hybrid? So, how was the NACE test? Did you purchase the bookstore study guide? That is the only test that I'm sooooo nervous about! Any advice you co...

I graduated from a Fortis LPN program in Virginia back in 2012. I had great instructors and learned a great deal in those 15 months. I worked at a family clinic for a few years, and I recently started working for the government as a GS 6 LPN at our l...

I graduated back in 2012. So they must of changed it since then. Those are both good programs to look into. Best of luck to u! :)

Yes, they offered both day and evening. :)

When I attended, they offered only day and evening classes.

Yes, medical terminology would count. I would try calling them when they first open in the morning. That is what I did because it is hard to get through sometimes. Best of luck to you!!! :)

Hello andreasmom02!!! I'm also a LPN in Virginia. I actually called the Va board of nursing because I was wondering the same thing because they didn't state which classes would count. I will be renewing my license in August 2015. They told me that an...

I enjoyed my time there. We had clinicals at hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living, and a psych facility. It wasn't easy, but it was all worth it to finish. I worked at a family practice clinic, and I'm getting ready to work on a military base th...

Hello! I graduated from Fortis. Yes, u have to be a LPN first in order to enter the RN program there.

I graduated back in 2012. When does your class start? Are u trying for day or night classes?

They both are good programs. I attended Fortis for my LPN. I would go and check out both schools and see where u feel the best at. Best of luck to u! :) U can message me if u have any questions.

Hello everyone!!!! I've been following this site since I graduated last September. I was 7 months pregnant when I graduated, so I was blessed to afford to be able to stay home with my daughter for the past 9 months. I just started applying to jobs la...

Thank u!!!! When do u finish??? I hope u do too!!!!! :)

Thanks everyone!!!!! I go in for orientation tomorrow, and my first full day is on Tuesday. I'm super excited!!!! I believe that having a well put together resume helped me to stand out. I have a few friends who are RNs who went through my resume wit...

I just got a job at a clinic affiliated with a hospital and I've been out of school for a year with no experience. Pay is not more than LTC, but hey, it will get me over that 1 year experience hump! :)

Thank u!!!!!

Thank u!!!!! I'm super excited!!!!!! :)
