  2. I started LPN school today!

  6. New LPN students??

    Once you pass the Nclex-PN and have a license, you most certainly can work as an LPN:) I wish I had a high school program like you do. Keep working hard. It will pay off in the end.
  7. New LPN students??

    I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. You can't work as an LPN unless you have graduated from an accredited program AND passed the Nclex-PN. However, being in an high school LPN program, you can...
  8. New LPN students??

    I start my part time LPN program on January 7, 2008. I will go 2-3 days a week for two years (it alternates each week). As a mother to four children under the age of 12, part time is all I think I...

    If you haven't done so already, get the study guide for the net test. It is exactly like the test since the same company makes both the test and the study guide. Although it costs about $30, it's...

    Ditto
  14. New LPN students??

    Did you do a program search at http://www.discovernursing.com ? You can narrow your search to only look for LPN programs in New York, if that is what you want. Also, check out your state's Board of...
  15. Dni

    I agree with TheCommuter's post above, get the study guide. If you can't find it at a local bookstore (they sell out quickly), get it directly from the maker of the book at http://www.eriworld.com....
  16. Thinking about getting into nursing

    If you already have a bachelors degree in another field, you would be able to take an accelerated BSN program. Those type of programs are VERY intense, but you would be done within 12-15 months...
  17. I start the LVN program in January...

    During orientation, my instructor said that if anyone wanted to get a head start, to read their anatomy book. She went on to say, when you get to the end, read it again. I'm thinking I'm going to...
  18. My sister, who is an LPN, said she remembers looking at some type of practical nursing book at Barnes and Noble a few months back that she thinks would be of great help to me. However, we went there...

  21. When is the best time to go to NS?

    Like my husband said to me, "If you want it bad enough (to be a nurse), you will make the time to study". With that being said, I get up 1 1/2 to 2 hours early each morning before everyone else is...
  22. When is the best time to go to NS?

    This is what I do. I go to a part time LPN program. I rotate between 2 and 3 days per week. I don't go to school enough to feel that I am missing things at home, but enough to feel like my "own"...
  23. I like "Math for Meds" by A. Curren. We used this textbook in my online pharmacology calculations course. It was very easy to follow.
  24. What's the process for becoming an LPN?

    I go to a part time LPN program. It is 2 to 3 days a week for two years, but it is easier on me since I have four children. A program like that might work for you also since your children are young....
