    LPN's A Dying Breed?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to dgbqsts062859's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hugs, friend. But first, as an LPN whose most of her experience is in occ health, you have uncovered a field that many LPNs do not we can do. And once you have experience, because there are few LPNs...

    No minimum score for entry test?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure what to make of this. I will be apart of the first LPN-RN bridge class in my school that is taking the ATI Comprehensive PN test. Before this, there was no entry test for the bridge program....

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mariamarro321's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ok, the only thing you may run into trouble with is employers will want to know why you waited so long once you were out of school. I have gaps in employment but I was staying home for my kids for a...

    Male CNA caring for females

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Firas5's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So weird, I have had the opposite experiences with male CNAs/Nurses in SNF. We have a few residents that seriously will only listen to the one male nurse we have on staff, most of them women. They...

    No minimum score for entry test?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the reply! They do a point system for the traditional nursing program but historically the bridge program entry consisted of an LPN license and minimum 2.8 GPA. Since they separate us...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to MondanaDeVonne's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I am in a LPN to RN bridge program most likely at the same school your attending and the job market has improved for nurses overall for sure since the recession. Many new RNs I know have had an easier...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mariamarro321's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think I have read about your experience at this particular office. The mistakes are they clerical, medication, what? What was your job before this? How will you explain the employment gap if you...

    Best place in the US to be a LVN/LPN

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to TEXN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am in Ohio and compared to the low cost of living, we do not do too bad here. I work PRN in LTC right now -- $20/hour. My mortgage is $820 (that includes everything taxes, insurance, etc) in one of...

    Night shift for new grads.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Nurse_Brezo's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and one handy thing I have learned to do at night is put my phone on "night mode". I tell those who need to know for emergencies that if they call my phone more than 3 times in 10 minutes, they...

    After watching my husband work nights for 3 years I can tell you what not to do: Do not attempt to stay up during the day and catching few hours of sleep in the evening. Do not do a few naps...

    When are you going to get your NP?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in General Students

    Dear Lord I can't escape the "When are you going to be a......" if I tried!! As an LPN, let me tell you, I have heard for YEARS the question of when I am going to get my RN (when I damn well please)....

    Should I major in nursing? Advice please!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to medapop's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like others said, a 3.0 most likely won't get you in. I am in a LPN to RN bridge program that has far fewer applicants than traditional RN programs and I still have a 4.0 to ensure entry. You will get...

    Will past struggles in school continue to hold me back?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to cloudtalk's topic in General Students

    I always thought it strange that colleges take previous coursework outside of nursing, previous education, into consideration. If it was years ago, and your now performing well, I guess I don't see...
