College of Southern Idaho has a very good program...The ADN is 4 semesters, while the LPN is 3 semesters and you transition into the 3 rd semester of ADN after your LPN. As long as on prerequisites are finished, it is a short waiting list. The transition course you will get in quicker to ADN. Hope this is helpful!!! They are expanding and should be :yeah:operating at a new building in 2010. As of now they accept 70 ADN students in Aug and Jan. 30 LPN students in Aug and Jan. The instructors are great!!

Well, Bonnie how did you do on your nclex? Great I hope

Thanks immensely, oldiebutgoodie!! It was helpful!!

Did anyone have luck with ATI? I think it sucks!! I am going to use only nclex books! has anyone had success with the 3 day reviews like Kaplan and Hearst? thanks

My patient (supposedly) hasn't had a bowel movement in 6 days. Bowel sounds are normal. The off going shift told me to do an enema. But I was leary about doing one with the colostomy...Everything I could find on the internet was against giving an enema? But there was alot of irrigation. So my question is "Is it safe to give the enema?" If you can irrigate, why not an enema? Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I was 51 when I completed LPN and within 2 weeks will finish RN at 53. Good Luck and hang in there!!

My school require >90% and we get 3 chances each semester. Then we are kicked out.

In Idaho, you can hang IV medications ie. abx. But you can not push IV meds. Is it the same for you?

I have heard LPN's in some states will be pushing IV meds, how do you as RN's feel about this change? Thanks for your input.
