    2 months away from my kids :(

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to sashapuppy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    can you visit a few times? I would do it as well but I would need to go home on the weekends a few times to see my

    Starting to doubt myself, does my plan sound reasonable?

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

    Definitely area dependent. I am bridging to my associates and associate degree nurses are still getting hired here with the requirement that you need your BSN in 5 years. One thing I am doing is...

    let go

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

    I think first you need to reflect on your job experience there. You said you weren't sleep the time they accused you of but how many times were you really sleeping that you weren't caught? I am not...

    Additional Certifications for LPNs

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

    I have multiple occupational health certificates but those do not lend themselves to being very useful in non occ health related fields. I have some LPN friends who are EKG certified, PICC line...

    Lpn jobs

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

    Your just going to have to keep looking till you find a job that doesn't mind training you. Have you tried pediatric offices? In my area, generally only LPNs are hired at them, they may be more...

    I need a JOB

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to RNnowFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think it's so much as "word of mouth" as much as it is that the tide it starting to turn with NP jobs. I am in Ohio and SO many people are going for NP or have already obtained it. I am apart...

    Help paying for school

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to sjefferson's topic in General Students

    If paying out of pocket will not cover it an/or scholarships, you most likely need to look into private loans. I go through FASFA now for my RN but for LPN I had to get a private loan because I was 19...

    Taking chem, a&p1 & then some

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

    This is very dependent on how you are as a student and how you learn. If you been an A student in the past, chances are you have the organizational skills to pull these classes off at the same time....

    Have you ever worked as a tech while your an LPN?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just curious....I haven't but since I want to get my foot in the door (Due to graduate with RN in 18 months) I was wondering if any others have done this. I realize there is a pay drop but it would be...

    What helped you do well in Chemistry?

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

    Thanks all, very helpful! I am very strong in memorization so I relied on that heavily the first time around and didn't work out for me. I found with physiology that I have to be able to "teach it" to...

    Really sad, should I just quit or keep pushing?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Taniacor's topic in LPN to RN

    First, wanted to send you virtual hugs! I gave birth to my third last winter, right before I was due to start clinical for my bridge program, and developed severe post partum depression. It was a dark...

    Nursing Supervisor Job offer

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

    I would post this in home care. If this were an LTC nurse supervisor, not nearly enough, but not sure of the range in home

    Can my school change prerequisite requirements?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to km1427's topic in General Students

    Why do they "not allow it?". Your paying for these classes, it's not really their business how you choose to take them. I took A+P 2 w/ Micro at the same time, it certainly wasn't a fun time but I...
  14. LPNtoRNin2016OH

    Grades are in! How did you do?

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

    I took Micro and A+P 2 and got an A in both. Next semester is my last pre-req of Chemistry, taking my last English class to get it out of the way, then start clinical in July!! Ready to do this, it's...

    Nursing has a high divorce rate

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Faada's topic in General Nursing

    I think it has to do with the off shifts and I will tell ya why! I am an LPN and have had clinical office hours mostly my whole career but my husband's job works all shifts/holiday/weekends and it has...

    help re: debt panic

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to nagem_'s topic in General Students

    BTW some loans (not sure which one it is, all through FASFA for me) will let you pay interest in loans while your in school to reduce some of the total amount due upon graduation, we had this option...

    help re: debt panic

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to nagem_'s topic in General Students

    How did you get away with not paying your student loans for two years? I was late once on Sallie Mae for my LVN loan and they stalked me all the way to my grandma -- not kidding. Between my LPN and...

    Can my school change prerequisite requirements?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to km1427's topic in General Students

    They can and do it often. Hopefully they will grandfather you in but don't be overly hopeful for that. My school changed a requirement, not a pre-req, but something that impacted my schedule without...

    Breastfeeding in Nursing School

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to katherineveasey's topic in General Students

    I exclusively pumped for my now one year old during pre reqs. My classes were all short enough I managed to not have to pump while I was there. I did talk to my school about it just in case and they...

    Who is so ready for fall semester to be over?!?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seriously. This is my last semester of pre-reqs. If I ever have to look at another pre-req I will puke. I am excited that I have filler classes like English next semester while I wait to see if I get...

    College books are the biggest scams ever

    LPNtoRNin2016OH posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seriously. I have spent hundreds of dollars on books for my pre-req classes, 90% of which were never even used by the professor. You can never sell them back to the school because they are going with...

    Hey nurses!!! WE ARE PEOPLE TOO!

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to AspiringNurse23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Woah, I get super tired of nurses coming onto bash CNAs when they vent. We do the same thing -- it may be unreasonable or irrational but when a nurse vents on here it's "hey get it out, it's how we...

    Question regarding where I stand with my job (long, but with paragraphs!)

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Alisonisayoshi's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the right think and I wouldn't apologize for it. A holiday card does not trump patient privacy. If it were an urgent matter, one could deal with that discreetly as possible, but it was...

    after 35 years, I cannot believe it

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to Carolyn1234's topic in General Nursing

    I've been surprised by most of the responses that she quit over not being granted a 9 week non medical leave myself. I can't think of any employer, no matter how long you have worked for them, that...

    Chem Lab & Lecture, A&P, Stats. Too much for one semester?

    LPNtoRNin2016OH replied to ashnic27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't do it. I have 3 kids under 7 and hold a 4.0 pre-req GPA but I only took two classes at a time. Statistics wasn't difficult just time consuming. Chem is a difficult subject for me so I have...
