Hi! Just wanted to start a thread for anyone applying to the Lpn-Rn transition in 2018. We can wait for acceptance letters together

Congrats Ronda! My one piece of advice for the PN program is not to listen to anyone who says that youre "just an LPN." I heard that plenty and it bothered me too much. LPNs play a wonderful role in health care and it can be a valuable stepping stone...

Yes, I got an acceptance email. Wasn't expecting it until Monday. Good luck on next year if you didn't get in. Surry County does lpn to adn enrollments twice a year. Maybe that's an option?

DCCC acceptance emails have been sent! Hopefully the mail will bring FTCC letters soon for everyone else waiting.

Check your email!!!!

Less than a week now!

Nothing wrong with that. That's why I went through the LPN program and I don't regret it at all.

Deadline is tomorrow!!

I applied to the lpn-rn program with an 86.7

86.7 for the teas. I requested to join the Facebook group. So is the group for all nursing students or just the transition program?

I applied to the LPN-RN program also. How did everyone do on the teas?

Waiting not so patiently with you guys!!

Anyone else waiting? Teas score, total points? Impatient like me? í ½í¸

Me. Too.

No, I applied to DCCC also. Email acceptance letters go out March 12th for them.

Has anyone taken the teas yet? What's your points total?

They're often called "Geri sleeves." I would clarify the order and also indicate if they're to be applied to both arms or both legs (or all 4?!)

Yes LPNs can work with peds patients. They are used a lot in my area in peds clinics. Are you currently in RN school? (I wasn't clear on that part) One thing I am clear on is that LPN school isn't "easier" really, just different. It's a shorter progr...

Hi! I picked up my scrubs Monday. I have everything and I'm just waiting to start now :) i have clinicals on Tuesday too so i guess we're in the same section together.

I got a tote called "avenue tote" from Marcus uniforms or amazon. It has a zip top, water bottle holder, inner compartment, outer compartment holds iPad/ folder for paperwork etc and pen divider. Hard to describe but it's a perfect size. Im waiting t...

Hey! 30 days and counting!!! I've gotten most of my books & ordered my scrubs. The clinical kit and another couple of textbooks will be ordered this week. Malpractice has to be paid soon too. As far as supplies: I got a tote bag for clinicals, my...

You didn't have to take the TEAS before being accepted into the program? I suggest taking it twice. I studied the parts I was weakest at first (math/science) and then reviewed the rest before reading over math & science again. The first time I te...

Yes! Even if its not the greatest working environment, it's an opportunity to hone your skills and list it on a resume to get a better job if necessary.

Maybe explain the situation to us a little more. Nurse or not, everyone makes mistakes or sticks their foot in their mouth. I don't think one mistake makes you a bad nurse...especially if the patient was well cared for and not in danger. I overthink...

Nothing new. Just got my physical and am in the process of getting both TB tests. I'm finishing anatomy and will start looking over dosage calc so I can be ahead and less stressed in the beginning. I know the wait is nerve wracking! Orientation is s...
