That's strange I'm doing the professional route and will have to retake both fundamentals and pharmacology. I originally got accepted to both but with the traditional route they allowed to test out of the class. If you don't test out at least you get...

Hello Kennesaw1, Sorry for late reply. Yes, I had been getting run arounds with financial aid. Everything should be worked out now though. Hope everything is worked out on your end now? Are you located in Kennesaw?

Very well written! Thank you so much for the mental preparation. I am actually nervous all over again. I feel like a student to the upmost but I'll remember to utilize my skills and learn as much as possible from everyone willing to teach me this tim...
I was told RN's do most of the work with hospice care. I am an LPN and I see positions at a Hospice agency. I'm curious what an LPN would do if this is the case. Please share.
I have a question about LPN "scope of practice". Is it in the scope of practice of a Licensed Practical Nurse to be the first one to do an assessment on a client being received to a group home? I was told to do a head-to-toe assessment on a client wh...

Oh okay well that is much closer, but still an hour or so (57miles) from me. I was leaning towards Darton College-hybrid program. Since I would only have to travel one day a week. I still need about 6 pre req courses before I can start so I may atten...
Okay. That sounds interesting. I googled this school. Its a bit far from me (im east of Atlanta) but I like that LPN can skip 2 semesters. Wish I could find a good online program that is GA based. That would be perfect for me.
I am so excited to say the least. LOTS of prayer, 20lb gain , laughter and tears later I finished my 1st semester of nursing school. I can say that it was not easy with 2 young children, husband, and other things in life going on but it can definitel...
