    flwannaB replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  4. Starting school in Nov. Scared to death

    flwannaB replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I did the same thing. I quit a great paying job in August that I worked at for 7 years. Craziest thing I have ever done because I had no job to go to. I got my CNA and decided I would work at a...

  5. Galen Institute

    flwannaB replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I decided that I would attend Galen despite the huge cost difference. It's worth it to me to not have to drive every day in Tampa's "Malfunction Junction". It will save me driving 2 hours a day that I...

    flwannaB replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  13. Galen Institute

    flwannaB replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I passed my CNA test. It was easy but a little unnerving having Nurse Ratchet watch every move. I had pulse and resp, transfer patient and cath care. I thought I failed because I got nervous and did...

  14. Galen Institute

    flwannaB replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    One reason I was considering going to Galen is that it is very close to my house whereas Erwin is quite a drive. Galen is now a nursing college and has an RN program. If you are a Galen LPN, you can...

    Some people do not pass the test the first time. Don't give up on your dream.Take the test again. The anxiety of the test may have messed you up a little. When you take it again, at least you know...

    flwannaB replied to sammyjo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Go for it! I am doing the same thing right now. You will still be a nurse doing what you want to do. Things happen for a reason. Just think, you will be a much better RN with all the experience you...

    flwannaB replied to flwannaB's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Good for you. I do not think I would have responded to that man as nicely as you did. Like you, I am proud of my choice to be an LPN. Everyone has a different path in

    flwannaB replied to Couture_Honey's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In short, it means that it was not a very nice comment. LPN's are suppose to be caring and compassionate people. Comments like that could cost you your career in the
