    LauRN_89 replied to LauRN_89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. Baby during NP program

    LauRN_89 replied to ljrrRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was not in your exact situation, I found out I was pregnant right after being accepted into RN school. I thought about putting it off, but ended up moving forward and I am glad I did. I know that...

  16. Accelerated ADN program?

    LauRN_89 replied to mommycruz3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't heard of an accelerated RN. My program was two years, not counting pre-reqs. Most LPN classes are one year, and that is a lot of info in itself to be crammed in. Nursing school was hard...
