  1. new mother and new student

    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. 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

    My sister just had her first job interview this morning for an LPN job near Pittsburgh at a nursing home. The starting rate there was $15.45 per hour with a $2,000 sign on bonus.
  4. Direct entry Online Nursing

    Since you already have a bachelors degree, you might want to look into the online accelerated BSN at the University of Wisconsin. You can check them out at...
  5. Online dosage calculations course?

    Try http://www.ccconline.org They offer a 1 credit pharmacology calculations course. I took it about two years ago. It's a great course. I hope this helps.
  6. 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?????

    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. 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...
  9. Online Micro/ A&P courses with LAB???

    Try http://www.edukan.org or http://www.ccconline.org I took A&P I and II with edukan and chemistry with ccconline. Both are great schools, but the tuition is lower at edukan. Good luck,
  10. LPN and Stna courses

    Did you do a program search for lpn programs at http://www.discovernursing.com? You can also try a state's board of nursing to find LPN programs or nurses aide classes in the area of your choice....
  11. Failed NET!!

    Can you take the test again? Most schools let you take the NET atleast twice to try and pass it. This time I would get the study guide at http://www.eriworld.com They are the makers of the test, so...
  12. LPN in NICU?

    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...
  13. CNA requirements and cost

    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??

    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...
  15. 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...
  16. For those who went from LPN to RN

    Thanks so much for the replies so far. I just worry about the workload in nursing school with having 4 kids at home. I've been leaning towards the part time lpn program because I feel the nursing...
  17. I was set to start a p/t day program here in my area in January, but recently found an evening/weekend p/t one that would suit be better since I have 3 (soon to be 4) children. Anyway, I took the PSB...
  18. I took A&P I and II with Edukan (http://www.edukan.org) All tests and labs were done online. I also had no trouble transfering my courses to the local community college's nursing program. Good...
  19. Amount Of Adn Program At Community College

    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. 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. 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...
  22. MSN online programs in Pennsylvania?

    I believe Clarion has an online MSN. Check them out at http://www.clarion.edu Good luck,
  23. Edukan A&P 2

    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

    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. 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,
