  1. New Student needing some serious advice

    L&D_2b replied to swillie02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try a local university or community college for an early childhood major as a sitter. They usually have classroom assignments that require them to spend a certain amount of time with young...

  2. Which way should I go, LPN or RN? Need input please!

    L&D_2b posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm so confused. I was hoping one of you could help me make a decision. If it took about the same amount of time, would you go for your LPN or RN? Here's the situation, I already have a bachelors...

  3. Which way should I go, LPN or RN? Need input please!

    L&D_2b replied to L&D_2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I appreciate your honesty. I have the choice between either program, it's just that one is during the day and one is in the evening. I don't have anyone else to help with our children, except my...

  4. Anyone else waiting for "the letter" this month for fall admissions?

    L&D_2b posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Really bumbed no baby in uterus (yet???)

    L&D_2b replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Great! I've been praying for you. With my third pregnancy, the doctor didn't see a fetal pole at my 8 week u/s. I don't need to tell you how I felt. He repeated the u/s in a week and there was my...

  7. what online programs are available to become an LPN?

    L&D_2b replied to cinful's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I live in PA, too. What side of the state are you on? CCAC in Pittsburgh has some of the nursing classes online. However, clinicals are still done in person. However, many of our community...

  8. Changing Careers at 29 - Am I Crazy?

    L&D_2b replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think of it this way, atleast you WILL be a nurse in 2010. If you didn't start now, you still would be HOPING you were a nurse in 2010. It will come faster than you

  9. Changing Careers at 29 - Am I Crazy?

    L&D_2b replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's not possible to change careers, someone must have forgotten to tell me;) I have a bachelors degree in education and have just enrolled in a part time LPN program because I think I missed my...

    L&D_2b posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

  13. High Scool GPA

    L&D_2b replied to summerdaze's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Have you taken any college courses? If not, take A&P 1 and 2, psychology, english, etc. I'm sure if you do well in those courses they will carry more weight than how you did in high school....

  14. LPN Distance Education?

    L&D_2b replied to summerdaze's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Did you try posting a message on the South Carolina Nurses section on this site? Someone there might be able to point you to a distance program in your state. Or if a part time or evening/weekend...

  16. LPN Distance Education?

    L&D_2b replied to summerdaze's topic in Online Distance Learning

  19. Nursing or X-ray Tech?

    L&D_2b replied to Cee Love's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it just depends on how indepth you want to be in regards to patient care. I think that is a question you are going to have to ask yourself. Also, like someone else pointed out, shadowing a...

  22. Brand New to Nursing : Where do I start?

    L&D_2b replied to noahsmom06's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Since you already have a bachelors degree like I do, I would look into a BS to BSN program. You can usually complete the program in 12 to 18 months. Not only do you get your RN license, but you also...

    L&D_2b posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    L&D_2b replied to carolyn2180's topic in Online Distance Learning
