Congrats.

Congratulations!!!!:clpty:

Just getting the info to start college network for lpn-rn bridge. I am going to compare them with community college that is local.

just graduated LPN school in May. In clinicals, required to wear cap. Was and still am proud of the cap but don't wear to work. Keep it in case in closet.

Hi all. Graduated May of this year. Took NCLEX-PN July 6th. Have been working LTC ever since. I am 46 and mother of 2, well three if you count the hubby. I love my job and this wonderful profession.

Study materials were just practicing the questions in Lippincotts review and it was mandatory for us to do a review with someone close to us. She gave us lots of material. I practiced test taking abilities and critical thinking. Most of my test was patient teaching. I had questions from all systems and approx. 8 drugs.:balloons::balloons:

Good Luck. You will do fine.

Hey All! I passed. Such a harrowing experience. It was tough. I had 85 questions. I just knew I had failed. Took test on 6th (Friday) I had to wait until Monday morning to find out. Whew. Everyone at work is happy for me. So is my family. So it is finially over. No more lugging the big bag everywhere I go so I can study!! Went to a smaller one!! :balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons: :lol2::lol2:

Hi all. I am currently keeping my test date a secret for the same reasons that ornursetobe is. The only people that know are hubby, nurse manager of floor I work, and HR dept. not my father, daughter, son, classmates etc. I have been bombarded with questions from the people I work with and family. One day I counted 23 people that asked when. This put alot of stress on me that I do not need. Before I received my ATT, I just told them I had to schedule. Now I tell them I have to take nclex before end of year.

Received ATT last Monday. Testing July 6th.

At the school I just graduated from, We were required to complete a minimum of 10 each. venipuncture and IV starts. This was certified to our BON upon graduation. This is in Virginia and a LPN School

I just graduated the 30th. In Virginia we can work as an applicant for 90 days.

Hi all. I just graduated May 30 and my instructors suggested NSO. My question is .. What is the difference between NSO and HPSO? I have been to both websites and the discounts and rates are the same.

Just a comment on the compact states. This does cover LPN's but not CNA's.

I am currently a student at a county vocational school. 18 month lpn program over 2 school years. 1st year is 5 days per week 1/2 days. All of this is textbook that covers fundamentals, A&P, Chemistry, Pharmacology, calculations, and skills in our classroom lab. 2nd year will be Monday thru Friday, all day. 2 of these days are classroom on pysc, OB, Peds, some adult health, more pharm along with drugs. The other 3 days are clinicals. all day shift. I will graduate in May of 2007.

I took mine 3 years ago in Virginia. Just so happened that SBON was there to renew certification for the program and so they were very strict that day. We have 5 skills. Everyone gets handwashing. Other 4 were random with 20 min. time limit.

Congrats to you!!

The made easy book helped me bunches. I would read it before my textbook and make notes. It gave me a heads up on what I needed to concentrate on.

Congrats to you!!!!

Could someone please tell me what ATI is.

congratulations

Mine is going ok. Our instructor did not take it easy on us. We started August 11, and have had 3 tests, 1 pretest in math, a 5page research paper, another assigned. another test is in 2 days. Needless to say, house is a wreck and hubby is wondering where supper is...lol.

Hi all. I am Sherry, a 43 year old mother of 2. I am so glad I found this site. I start LPN classes August 11 at our local vocational school. I currently work as a CNA in long term care.
