I do, in some ways, but I often get my son (3 years in october) to help me learn stuff. I am only in first semester, so we are doing the complete basics. We practice proper handwashing together, he lets me practice range of motion exercises on him, s...

That's sad. I mean, here you are hospitalized and that isn't good enough? I am sorry. Maybe you will find a batter job soon though! :)

I am just beginning LPN school, but I do understand how you feel. My plan had been to do RN, but in getting ready to apply, I realized it would just be too much for me now. So what? Right now all I care about is getting my LPN then working for a year...

I was just coming here to post this exact thing. My anxiety issues get worse when faced with a presentation in class, or when asked a question which I have to respond to in front of the class- it gives me panic attacks. I have just restarted antidepr...

and already I have had someone question why I would bother since "the pay sucks and no one will hire LPN's" This was coming from a nurse friend I know online who also lives in Ontario. I can't handle 4 years now.. I have an almost three year old, no ...

We are only allowed to wear pastels or white scrubs (or dresses) though we don't have to wear white unless the specific place we are in requires all white. White shoes, and white hose/socks are required. If we choose to wear the dresses, we have to w...

Why do people have to make it sound like I am taking the 'easy' way out? I intended to go the RN route, but after being out of school since 1999, and having a 2 year old to care for and no help at all, well, RN is too much right now. I have no money ...

I think Georgian does have the program... I just finished at humber college for upgrading certain classes and one of the girls in my classes had applied for the RN at Georgian. She got in, but I don't know if she accepted. Why do you think they don't...

I start my LPN program in fall 2007 and the program is 2 years long (4 semesters). Why are LPN programs only 1 year in the US? Are they more condensed, and therefore more difficult? As long as I have read these boards, I don't think I have yet seen a...

Really Fiona? That is great! Honestly, I have been wondering why it WASN'T like that all along. It just makes sense to do that in my opinion.

If it helps, the actual term for what crocs are made of is: EVA or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate

Mine is about $7000 for the 2 year program at a college, but I am in Canada, so I guess that isn't helpful to you, since we do things differently in that respect. Coming from another mom, who is in school now... as much as it would suck to be even f...

Yes, it is. They are called "Licensed Practical NURSES" for a reason.. lol. Despite what my mother in law (the RN drop out!) tries to tell me. :)

WRONG! I had one done just before my c-section when my son was born 2 years ago, and it was even worse than my recovery time afterwards. Honestly, the foley is what I remember as being the worst part. Well, all the laxatives they made me take weren't...

I do it too! I am about to start nursing school (fall 07) and I just KNOW that I will embarrass myself many, many times because of this. Sometimes I feel like the only person in the world that does it. Other people just don't get it- they think you a...

Oh I am so jealous! My program doesn't start till September... I have been doing dosage calculations in my math classes this term and they aren't too bad. I need a lot more practice, but I am sure I will get lots, lol. Good luck with school- let me k...

Congratulations!!! I am so glad you FINALLY found out.. Now, I just have 2 more years until I can say that I made it too... *sigh*

I found it very easy to get into my LPN program. I have been doing pre req's this year b/c I thought I wanted to go into RN, but changed my mind after struggling with getting my 2 year old to school everyday and back on the bus, and never having time...

Hi, I was in your place a year ago. I really wanted to be a nurse, but didn't have my bio or chem.. so I went back to school this year and instead of taking just those classes I took a full prep for health sciences year, which also gave me the credit...

My program is at a college, George Brown in Toronto to be exact. The computer course and communications I am exempt from, thank goodness! I *think* part of the reason they have us do so much, is in prep for RN, as they do have a bridge program run th...

So you guys are saying that I am completely in for it aren't you? lol Great...

This freaks me out a bit... I am just going into an LPN program in the fall (2007) at George Brown in Toronto, and now I am afraid it will get me nowhere! At the same time though, I cannot manage 4 years of school at this time, so I have no choice. I...

I agree with the others. It isn't a safe situation and if you hate it that much, then I would just walk out the door. You can't use them as a reference after such a short time, so it doesn't matter if you don't give the 2 weeks. You need to be happy ...

Congratulations! I know how relieved you are, I got mine in February and am so excited. I wish I was starting as early as the rest of you seem to be, but in Canada you usually only start in January or September. In the fall though, it will finally be...
