Day 3 is done! Well, we had a speaker this morning during class. She was from a women's shelter and talked to us all about domestic abuse. Although I've always known domestic violence was a...
Well, it's day two of my program and all I can say is AWWWWWWWW:uhoh3: We are literally covering a chapter a day. It didn't seem so bad yesterday, but today sent me over the edge. You have to learn...
I just found the link to that program in CA I was just describing. If anyone is interested, here it is: http://www.bvnpt.ca.gov/Licensing/Method_3.asp#PHARM
Are you in California? You can challenge the Nclex-PN exam if you are a CNA with X amount of experience in different clinical areas. For example, you have to have X amount of hours as a CNA in a...
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.
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...
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...
If you are located in California, then yes, I have heard of it. However, you have to have X amount of experience as a CNA in different nursing areas (ie, pediatrics floor, med surg, etc). I think...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
I also live in PA and attend a vocational LPN program. I didn't have to have any courses other than a high school diploma or GED and pass their pre entrance test. Also, did you look into any part...
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...
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"...
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....
