    Struggling with low GPA?

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

    Go LPN to RN. I graduated high school with a 2.4 something around there, not pretty. I went to LPN school at 19, graduated with a 3.8ish then applied to my bridge program. The nursing program wanted...

    Anyone NOT willing to move for nursing school?

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

    I wasn't willing but I have 5 community colleges all within a 90 minute drive of me so I didn't have to. BSN programs are more trickier to get into around here because as you said, they aren't as many...

    For profit schools/debt/nursing shortage??

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to BrittanyWilkins's topic in General Students

    I can understand that. My LPN to RN bridge programs entry is based on GPA not a waiting list. Have you looked to see if any of the schools in your area have this? Many of the nursing schools near me...

    What are my chances of getting into nursing school?

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

    I think many people see the "minimum GPA" as what they need to aim for to get in which isn't the case. At least in my associates program it isn't. Our GPA minimum for the bridge program is 2.8 so many...

    How long did it take you?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to studentnurse32/80's topic in General Students

    I also wanted to add that I work with a woman who is 45 and doing the LPN to RN bridge and will go for her BSN. We all know that we wont have any social security so most likely will be working till 80...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to studentnurse32/80's topic in General Students

    For profit schools/debt/nursing shortage??

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to BrittanyWilkins's topic in General Students

    No real nursing shortage no, perhaps in the less desirable areas to live in. Possible to get a job? Yes but you will have to network and if your already a surgical tech then you should have some...

    Why are some people on here so rude?

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

    You will hear from all kinds of people on here....people may be mean, blunt, rude, angry, resentful, etc. Often what I see though is just blunt constructive criticism and it isn't what people want to...

    What helped you do well in Chemistry?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My last pre-req is this spring semester -- Chemistry. It is my Achilles' heel. I am a straight A student and chemistry is the only class I have ever dropped. I put ALL my effort in to it, spent hours...

    Calculator for Statistics

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Peachez1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    we just used a regular calculator. The prof was fine with using a fancy graphing calculator but I preferred to do the work on paper so I could see it step by

    My facility is going to a new mode of trying to care for hospital level patients.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mr cooper's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The needy patients/families in our rehab are SO bad right now. My job has 10 patients to every house so I am split between three buildings. I cannot always be over there doing every single little...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to mr cooper's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I worked in a rehab that once was like this, it was awful. I was 1:25 ratio too. We took all kinds of people and we had a person that had hip surgery from a car accident but was also detoxing from...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to lolis55's topic in General Nursing

    I had a needle stick last year at 16 weeks pregnant. Employee health had no idea what to do with me, it was kind of a disaster. I was stuck when the safety (we had just switched to cheapo needles)...

    Failed NCLEX RN 7 times. Need help. Any suggestions are welcome.

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to nursetobe911's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't realize you could take it that many times. Have you talked with your nursing school to see if they could offer you any refresher

    Job abandonment

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I would have done the same. I would rather find a new job than face a lawsuit because I had too many patients to every safely take care of. If you are returning to LTC, ask about the patient ratio,...

    I hate my job =(

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Welcome to LTC It can be stressful because of the ratios - although yours sounds ridiculous. 40:1?! Are these rehab patients, long term, or AL? In LTC and SNF I will not take positions with rations...

    For those that speak Spanish..

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in General Nursing

    Interested in opinions. I would like to learn Spanish out of personal interest and for job prospects in the future. If I did more of an online course in it, and not an actual college course, would...

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    I like to break down course content into sections and then look over it so I don't spaz because that's my first instinct whenever I see my syllabus lol. I like lists so when I can break it up and see...

    Underage drinking question? please help

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to xjay22's topic in General Students

    I realize OP is under age. And by no means would I encourage her to drink but obviously she will most likely do it again and I would rather pass off advice to prevent her from drinking and driving in...

    All staff matter :)

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to %D#2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is state dependent. We have to have a certain amount of RN hours and an on call RN on the weekend but generally the only staff where I work on the weekends are

    Great job! All of us, LPNs and RNs, catch crap from the ER nurses when we send them in from LTC. There have been a few times it wasn't an immediate emergency but we had to send them in because we were...

    Underage drinking question? please help

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to xjay22's topic in General Students

    I doubt you will get a ticket. I was at a party at the same age as you and was drinking (but was walking home). The police wanted the owners of the apartment, not the underage drinkers at that point,...
