    Cream and sugar LPN replied to mrscarr104's topic in General Students

    Your looking at data from 2010.. Take a look at the most recent numbers from 2013..The CT technical high school programs are absolutely below the 80% standard enforced by the BON. As of right now...

  3. Finish Bachelors or go to LPN school?

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to mrscarr104's topic in General Students

    My comment was based on researched facts, not my opinion. The CT BON does not like when ANY LPN program dips below an 80% pass rate. What programs specifically are you referring to when you say are...

  5. LPN school in CT. Experiences and Advice

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to mrscarr104's topic in General Students

    Correction... State programs in CT have pass rates as low as 50%... You get what you pay for. In the end if you can't pass the NCLEX was that "bargain" really

  6. Finish Bachelors or go to LPN school?

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to mrscarr104's topic in General Students

    Again, nursing programs are very strict, if OP will fail in a few weeks when the class ends reevaluating study habits while important, will not fix her current situation. There are not test retakes or...

  7. Finish Bachelors or go to LPN school?

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to mrscarr104's topic in General Students

    From someone who WENT to nursing school I can attest that if OP says she's failing, it's not based on negativity but cold hard facts. Most nursing programs require an average of 75 or 80 to pass. A...

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to mariamarro321's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Whoever hired you- did they hire you as an LPN or MA? Was your license communicated with the Drs? I only ask because you mentioned they refer to you as the MA. I wouldn't just quit but I would Keep...

  14. Question any part time nursing programs in the state?

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to WCSU1987's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    There are specific classes needed for the ADN. I would look online for the list before you jump in. A&P has a prerequisite, that is probably why it wont let you sign up. You might already have the...

  17. CNA first then RN?

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to Dahliadiaz's topic in Nursing Career

    Lpn is obviously quicker but it's a very condensed program so it's usually 35 give or take hours a week. Depends on your state. I've heard of them as short as 10months and up to 18 months long. It...

  18. CNA first then RN?

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to Dahliadiaz's topic in Nursing Career

    I kid you not! My LPN program had us taking 2-3 exams a week! We often felt like we couldn't come up for air! So yes, 2 hours of homework and 2 hours of studying took approx. 4 hours at night to...

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to Dahliadiaz's topic in Nursing Career

    Then for that reason I say go for it. But keep in mind from the first week in school you will be doing approximately 4 hours of studying and homework every night..you will have between 2-3 exams a...

    Cream and sugar LPN replied to GMarieK's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't understand the 0 when your grade is currently 72. Have you timed out as well as failed during this semester? Why can you not withdraw now and readmit when the next cohort reaches this point in...
