Hello everyone! Just starting this thread for all applicants for Broward College' LPN to RN Bridge Program. Didn't see any other threads open for this. Please post how far you are in completing your pre-reqs and application process!

Parent of a 13 year old vegetative state female asked that we shave her lady parts because they're too hairy

Thank you. This is what I was trying to explain. Everyone's situation is different. We all have our reasons for going to the ER.

To answer your question, yes I have worked in the ER before at a Pediatric Hospital. So we did have a lot of parents bringing their kids in for "minor" issues. Ear aches, temps, you name it. And I had to deal with demanding parents who didn't want me...

Document, document & document. If they are refusing medically necessary treatment repetitively, you have to notify the MD.

Everyone's situation is different. People want treatment then and there. And if there's a high ER copayment, of course you can expect people to be demanding. My old PCP office wouldn't be able to give me appointments til the week or following week. S...

Omg you scared me for a second! So you were too late for January, makes sense they've already had the orientation. ** Keeping fingers crossed for May **

I have one on the back of my neck that I got 8 years ago. I'm prepared to cover it with a 4x4 bordered gauze dressing for school. Oh well.

Hey everyone! I'm putting in my application on Dec 17 after grades go in. But I'm applying for the Bridge program which also starts in May.

I understand your frustrations because I am currently taking Chemistry and it's taken a toll on me. Literally I've spent so many hours on campus with tutors and just doing the problems over and over until they make sense to me. I've also gotten a bad...

Is it really as bad as everyone makes it out to be? I work full time and have managed these grades so far Anatomy 1 A, Lab A Anatomy 2 A, Lab B Chemistry (Currently taking, I have a B in lab and lecture) I also take two other courses towards my BSN w...

Referring to most of the people I've spoken to at my school about the course in general. Just getting an idea of what I'm getting myself into. I'm sure I will do well, as I always exceed even my own expectations. But a little insight doesn't hurt.

Thank you for all the feedback! It's the last class I need as a prerequisite for the ADN program

Wow lucky you! I really dislike Chem and forcing myself to understand it...

Chem is a pre-req before you're allowed to take Micro. If you can handle Anatomy and Chemistry in 1 semester, then Micro in another

I would definitely consider going right into the RN program. It'll save you time and money.

I understand your frustrations. I've been an LPN for 3 years now. I work at a Pediatric LTC vent unit. Most of the RN's come to me when they need to figure out how to do something. I get paid significantly less but hold the same responsibilities. I'm...

I would imagine that you should be paid for having more education as an RN, BSN

Any tips on how do to well with Chemistry? I have a terrible teacher who expects all of his students to do a lot of independent study... What's the best way to figure out how to set up the problems/calculations?

Thank you! I'm an LPN I know how to calculate mg to g and ml and such for medications. All other conversions I have to try to master

I took the Liberal Arts route... I hate College Algebra

$22 Pediatric Long Term Care Facility (Step Down ICU) vents, gtubes, cardiac patients etc

Managing colostomy bags!

I work with ventilator dependent kids at a nursing home. Right out of nursing school I was hired there and have been there for the past two years. It is intimidating at first because unfortunately these kids can't tell you when they are sick. You rel...

At least you don't have to work through the program. If you must, find a quiet place to study. Go to Barnes and nobles or Starbucks. You'll need the quiet time away from distractions to focus. Good luck!
