Hey Guys I need some advice to see what other people think I should do. So I was an LPN student. I took a leave due to my grandfathers health (has had cancer for over 15 years and has had his ups and downs and at this time it was a low). During schoo...

I did email the BON that way so I can have everything written down and it wouldn't be like he said/she said kinda deal. The BON said that I cannot sit for the CNA exam cause I am NOT currently enrolled in school. She told me that I need to either get...

Can somebody please send me the study guide? [email protected]

Hi guys I need some advice. Its really bringing me down and have nobody to talk to about this. I am a second generation LPN student. I took a LOA (Leave Of Absence) right before my leadership due to family emergency. Before I started this program, I ...

Now that I have had time to think about this, I do want to be a nurse. I do have goals in life and finishing school and getting my LPN then eventually my RN is on the list of goals. I just have a lot going on and it's getting to me. I've made it this...

Hi everybody. I am about to finish my LPN program in less than 8 weeks and I am excited! I want to get a jump on studying for the NCLEX. At school we are we are doing Kaplan which for me personally it doesn't work for me and I'm worried I'll fail the...

So I got my schedule for my next term with my clinicals. I am in night school which means I have weekend clinicals and I don't mind that at all. So my next term, is my med surge and it's at a hospital setting. The only hospital that would take lpn st...

Well I'm glad to say that I'm not the only one that has had to travel that far. I'm going on my 3rd weekend going and honestly it's not that bad of a drive as I thought it was. Only bad thing was that we were out in the middle of no where and it's a ...

Yea it's not that bad that it's only for 5 Saturdays. Only bad thing is that I'm not a morning person and with me gotta be up early, it's gonna be a long day

cs2014 I'll be there every Saturday for 5 weeks

I'm in a 14 month program and I start a new class every 5 weeks

I have to agree with the comments above. I go to ECPI and I can tell you now to NOT GO! It is expensive and plus (atleast the 2 locations in Richmond Va) the LPN program is struggling that the BON had to step in. I would really look into other nursin...

I'm a student at ECPI. I can tell you now and suggest to NOT go there. It is a good school, but there is too much going on and the nursing program (LPN...not sure bout RN) is going down with it. I like the school, just not what's going on with it

My LPN program costs about $32-34,000 (give or take) with books and uniforms included and they pay like 75% of board fees. But thanks to grants and financial aid I only gotta pay like $14,000. Seems like my school is way over priced

Sorry to hear you didn't pass. That's my biggest fear when I finish school. Just like the person above me said try Kaplan. But I'm also trying this NCLEX app on my phone called NCLEX Mastery that's supposed to really help, and from what I read online...

Clinical's are good. Make sure you bring COMFORTABLE shoes. You start early in the morning (if your day students) and we started around 6:45 am and we ended from 2:45 and some days 3:15pm. And if your not there by 6:45 they wont let you in and that c...

I'm currently a student at ECPI in Va. I can try to answer any questions that I can.....ask away lol

Your welcome. Good luck :)

I just remembered there's math then comes Foundations. Sorry forgot all bout the math :/

Freshman Orientation (which to be honest is common sense), Nursing Foundations 101 (to me was common sense but everybody is different) and Anatomy 1

Oops meant LTCF lol

I actually start clinical rotations this week :). So as of now I can't really answer that. I do know that we will go to a hospital setting ( for my school, we gotta to 2hrs away from school). But since LPNs are mostly in LTCF, we will do mostly assis...

Just be prepared for the fast pace. I think that's the toughest part of the whole thing

I'm also a student at MCI but I'm at the South Richmond Va campus. I started last year and almost done and can't wait. It's a lot of fun but since I'm as far as I am, it is getting harder. Good luck :)

I just finished pharmacology. In my school, they did it 2 parts. Pharm 1 was med administration and Pharm 2 was all the meds. I don't know how they do it in your school, but if your gonna learn the meds this class, flash cards helped me out a lot. Si...
