  1. new mother and new student

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

    I'm a mother to four children ages 12, 8, 4 and 1. The best advice I can give you is make a schedule and stick to it. Believe me, it will be the only way you will find time to get things done....

  2. Has Anyone Recently taken the PSB Lpn/Entrance Exam

    L&D_2b replied to WannaBNurse07's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yes, always pick the one that is totally opposite from the first picture shown. Once you get use to it, it will be a cinch for you. My sister just graduated from that program. It's intense, but...

  3. Salary question

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

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

    L&D_2b replied to WannaBNurse07's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I used a book called "Review Guide for LPN/LVN pre entrance exam" by Mary McDonald. I think it was around $30 at Barnes and Noble. I'm sure you can find it on ebay cheaper, though. This book really...

  7. A&P online at edukan.org any feedback?????

    L&D_2b replied to Frank-The-Tank's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took A&P I and II with edukan. I had a great experience. During A&P I, all labs are virtual, which means you work out of this ADAM interactive book. However, during A&P II, there are...

  8. Hopefull LNP student in a couple years, what can I study?

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

    Why not look into a part time Lpn program now, instead of waiting a few years to go to LPN school? I have four children, but I'm going to a part time program being that it is easier for me to attend...

  11. Failed NET!!

    L&D_2b replied to happy4me's topic in LPN, LVN Students

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

    When my son was in the NICU 12 years ago, there was an LPN there that took care of him alot. However, I believe someone said she had been there for "x" amount of years. She was one of my favorite...

    L&D_2b replied to homecareclient's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You can find CNA classes at your local hospital, career center, Red Cross or community college. You can find them at nursing homes as well, but they normally provide the training for free in exchange...

  14. Just how hard is the LPN program??

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

    Since you teach a p/t LPN program, would you mind me asking how the workload is in your program? I'm going to start a part time program here in PA in January. I'm worried I might not be able to keep...

    L&D_2b posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have four children and I was wondering if those who went from LPN to RN can help me decide on a route to become a nurse? In your opinion, would I be better taking a part time LPN program that takes...

  19. Amount Of Adn Program At Community College

    L&D_2b replied to S-Rank's topic in General Nursing

    I pay $1300 a semester. However, that is tuition and lab fees only. If you add in uniforms and books, it would be hundreds more. I hope this helps.

  20. Need advice on nursing school/prgram for second career middle aged woman!!!

    L&D_2b replied to peace07's topic in General Nursing

    I just re-read your initial post and if you can start an LPN program at the end of the month and can afford the high $, I would go that route. Most RN programs have a year or two (sometimes more)...

  21. Need advice on nursing school/prgram for second career middle aged woman!!!

    L&D_2b replied to peace07's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if this was already mentioned or not, but if you already have a BS degree, why not look into an accelerated BSN program? They usually only take a year or a year and a half and you will...

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

    I took A&P 1 and II with Edukan. A & P II was pretty similiar (in regards to homework and tests) to A&P I. However, there were a few "hands on" labs we had to do. Don't worry, you do...

  24. Edukan Classes

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

    I don't know about financial aid, but I would assume you could apply for it if you are taking 6 credits or more. As for the list of colleges, you just pick one to be your "home" college. Your home...

  25. Can someone recommend a good clinical drug calculation book?

    L&D_2b replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    Try "Math for Meds" by Anna Curren. We used this in my online pharmacology calculations course. Very easy to read and understand. As for peds, I don't have a clue. Good luck,
