cna_2_nurse LPN, RN

Hi everyone. I was seeing if anyone ever attended the LPN-RN program at this school. Can you give any insight? Anything I should be worried about or more focused on. I'm actually at Rasmussen College for the LPN right now and graduate this Dec. I'm l...

Good afternoon, everyone! So I'm a new ADON at a SNF here in Florida. My building is a 120 bed facility. My question to you is, what are the different tags a facility can get when state comes in the building? I know there is many but what does each l...

Sorry ladies and gentlemen it's taken me so long (years) to reply to some of your questions. I graduated from Medical Prep Institute (MPI), took boards, passed and became a RN. First, this school isn't one I would choose first. I would probably make...

Sorry about getting back with you all so late. I started the RN day program in June of this year. It is really fast paced. I just finished up fundamentals and will be moving into pharm next this upcoming week. The program is broken down into classes ...

So I took my Nclex PN today and stopped at question 85. I felt like I didn't know most things on the test. I had soooo many prioritization questions, maybe 10 sata and a couple maternity, peds and psych. I know that 85 could mean I did really well or...

Thanks everyone, I got my quick results from pearson and I passed. I'm beyond relieved and excited, because I think I hit my limit as a CNA today at work (haha).

I finished!! I'm so excited to finally say those two words. Last Friday was my last day, as we had to complete a 3 day Hurst Review course (which was very helpful). I passed my exit exam with a 97% chance of passing NCLEX-PN on my first attempt and a...

Thanks!! That's actually when I start RN school. Kudos to us both, good luck.

So as I promised you in my earlier post from about two months ago about how school was going for me. Well, tomorrow is my last day and the feeling is bittersweet, only because nursing school kept me on my toes. Meanwhile, I'm very happy to be finishe...

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful comments, I truly appreciate it. Good luck to everyone who is currently in school or starting, you all will do great. Please keep me updated on all your accomplishments, as I will also. God bless!!

you can change a patient with poop everywhere and still take your lunch break right after

Good luck!!

Usually when I'm working with that one dementia patient who uses every name in the book. I know we shouldn't laugh but some of the things they say are just down right hilarious. I love them, though they keep me on my toes.

I know for some people an LPN really don't mean much, but to me it's a milestone in my life. For the previous six and a half years I have been a CNA, busting my butt and being treated like dirt. However, I know this is common amongst some place but I...

Thanks everyone. Your wonderful words of encouragement have been so wonderful and inspiring. I wish all the other students and future students much success and all your studies. To all other nurses, thanks for your kind words. I took my first test of...

Ok great to hear, same here also.

Starting out is always the hardest. For me, time management was the hardest. By the second semester you learn what works best for you and develop a routine. Nursing school is even harder when you have other factors (kids, family, work etc.) that cont...

Yea, I haven't had much success finding anyone who have completed this program. As you said above the price is reasonable and financial aid is not taken. I have visited this school facebook page and read several student comment, which have been neutr...

Thanks for your response on my discussion also. My biggest tip to you is to lose your CNA mind frame. What I mean by this is, continue being a great CNA but weed out the "short cuts" we all have learned. This has affected me the most especially durin...

I'm currently in the lpn program at the Rasmussen Ocala campus. I'm moving into quarter 3 of 4 (graduate this Dec..YAYY!!). I'm not sure if all the campuses require the same things, but we had to supply our own equipment (steptoscope, pen light, cuff...
