   Purplepiglet replied to Missa96's topic in Western Governors

   I was finally able to get in that Facebook group haha! Apparently the admins messaged me but it went to "other" instead of Facebook messenger. I just had to send my start date and WGU email address and I was approved. Seems very helpful so far! I pas...

   Purplepiglet replied to Tieuana's topic in General Nursing

   Congrats! I became an LPN in 2010 and started finishing up my pre requisites as soon as I graduated. I worked in a clinic for two years with not so great pay and the hours did not work for me to go back (to start an actual classroom based program) im...

   Purplepiglet replied to Missa96's topic in Western Governors

   Hi! I am starting on 12/1/15 too. I graduated with my associates in May so I am ready to get this thing going. I am hoping to have my BSN finished before my year of experience is done (I started working as an RN in September). I need 32 credit units ...

9. Screwed Over by My School

   Purplepiglet replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

   I feel like I may have gone to the same school as you. I had several awful experiences at my school (all administrative issues) and the records department made a few clerical errors with my name this summer. They were using another student with the s...

10. Tn RN wages

    Purplepiglet replied to newrn05's topic in Tennessee

    I'm in middle Tennessee starting at $22.55/hr as a new Grad RN. I have a few years of prior LPN experience so I started out a little higher than a new graduate for this particular hospital. I'll also get shift differential for weekends. Good luck wit...

11. LPN program in Clarksville, TN

    Purplepiglet replied to LPN-Adeline's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    You're welcome. I know they do information meetings a couple times a year, and attending one is part of the application process but your friend can get a lot of other information at that too. It really is a great program!

12. LPN program in Clarksville, TN

    Purplepiglet replied to LPN-Adeline's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Hi! I went through that program a few years ago. I'm not sure if anything has changed, but I had a ton of pre-req's done already for an RN program but decided to go to tcat (it was ttc then) because I could go for free there. There are no pre-req's. ...

13. Kaplan PN Readiness Exam HELP!

    Purplepiglet replied to renusandhu's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not entirely sure, however the RN program I graduated from did a Kaplan exit exam and there were many different versions. We had three chances to pass before graduation (I had to take all three and they were all different). Some students took it ...

    Purplepiglet replied to golson's topic in General Nursing

    I was a server at a popular wing restaurant (haha) for five years and then a veterinary technician for three years until I finished an LPN program at twenty-four. I'll be thirty next month and I've been an RN for three weeks. I have always enjoyed al...

15. Dissappointed with Kaplan

    Purplepiglet replied to smalltownhero's topic in NCLEX

    I didn't like my Kaplan review course either. We took it three months before graduation which meant it helped even less for me haha. I completed everything at that time and did not use it again after I passed my Kaplan exit exam the month before grad...
