  1. UWorld NCLEX

    Doodlebug21 replied to NeeceeNee2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my experience, for nursing school we were required to take a HESI exit exam. They wanted us to have a 900, I ended up with an 840. For NCLEX I ONLY used UWorld which I thought was a wonderful...

  3. What are they telling us/not telling us

    Doodlebug21 replied to holly2422's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I feel from reading her post she handled the situation very well. Especially for being a new nurse. That being said, new nurse or not it doesn't matter what type of nursing position she is in. Her...

  4. How long after graduation were you able to take nclexpn

    Doodlebug21 replied to SheilaBrooks's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I graduated October 2nd, sent all of my paperwork to the state and had my stuff organized. The school on the other hand waited a month. State received their paperwork November 3rd, received my ATT via...

  5. Could I transfer credits from ADN to LPN program

    Doodlebug21 replied to Pingo7's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Some schools, at least where I'm from, after the first year of nursing school you're allowed to sit for the NCLEX-PN. I know a few people who have done it just to gain some work experience as a nurse...

  6. Lacharity book and LPN

    Doodlebug21 replied to cherrybee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Honestly, I wish I had this book when I took the NCLEX-PN the first time. Nearly half of my test was priority and pt. teaching. Since I bought the book, it helped out tremendously! I highly recommend...

    Doodlebug21 replied to Doodlebug21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I only recall seeing one drug I've never heard of before and they only gave me the brand name, not the generic. Other than that, I don't decal any pharm. I know I got like 3 SATA and a ton of priority...

  8. NCLEX help!!

    Doodlebug21 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I attended a one year LPN program October 2014-October 2015. Little did I know that the entire school was a joke. They cared little about the students and entirely about the money. Yes, I passed, as...

  9. NCLEX help!!

    Doodlebug21 replied to Doodlebug21's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The book we used for Pharm was "Basic pharmacology for Nurses" I think we touched the book a total of 2 times the entire semester. The biggest issue was that the teacher wouldn't come in most days or...

  17. Michigan Temporary LPN Permit

    No, my place of work never said anything about needing one either. They just said fill out an application and we will hire you as a

  18. Cost of LPN program?

    Doodlebug21 replied to jackhensy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Honestly, that's a steal! I paid $14k and nothing was included. I had to buy my own books, uniforms, stethoscope, bp cuff, everything!! This class too was a straight one year no waiting

  19. Michigan Temporary LPN Permit

    Doodlebug21 replied to Kapowski88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I understand you are no longer able to work as a GPN once you have failed the NCLEX and it's only good for 90 days. Otherwise you must work as a cna or at my job, they'll boot you out the door...

  20. Michigan Temporary LPN Permit

    Doodlebug21 replied to Kapowski88's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    They no longer exist? My job has offered me a GPN role until I pass the NCLEX recently. Maybe I don't need a permit then? I'm not sure how they're able to do that if MI no longer has

  21. Graduating next month!! What is next?

    Doodlebug21 replied to AshleyBenton's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Do lots of research and asking other nurses what they're doing for school. While at clinical for PN I always asked nurses where they went for RN or where they're attending. I am in a technical school...

  22. New LPN student

    Doodlebug21 replied to 2bNurseashleyh's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I have also heard many negative things about Everest along with employers not hiring from this school. Since they're not accredited, if you wanted to continue your education to become an RN, you would...

  23. LPN - can they force me to do this?

    Doodlebug21 replied to bellabean's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, it is legal for them to tell you to work as a CNA but keep in mind the state holds you to your highest license. You are held to LPN expectations while having the cna job. It's a sticky situation...

  24. Latoya's Health Education

    Doodlebug21 replied to Doodlebug21's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, in my situation I am only doing this program so I don't have to wait 5 years on a waiting list to become a nurse. This is a quick, painless way to become an LPN. As far as the school, it's very...
