Hello everyone! I've been having a little trouble and would love some feedback. I just graduated in December from an LPN-RN program and I was supposed to be starting nursing orientation on January 12th. However, I just found out from my school that m...

Birmingham, unfortunately.

Well I was actually going to take boards this week because I'm supposed to be starting orientation at my new job on Monday. But I spoke to Dr. Marable yesterday and she informed me that the school does not send transcripts for students. I apparently ...

That's what I thought too. At first I thought that maybe I just missed the announcement, but I've called a couple people that graduated with me and they didn't know about it either. I don't think the BON would want to get separate transcripts from ea...

I know this question wasn't directed to me, but yes they will tell you that you shouldn't work. They can't, however, actually make you stop working. It's just a strong suggestion. You're not required to tell them if you're working or not. I consisten...

I don't know if I mentioned it, but I did the LPN-RN mobility program. I started in January 08 and graduated December 08. Maybe I forgot to say that. But yes, if you did the traditional program and started in the fall, then you would graduate in May...

i graduate in december and the diploma will say december. you just have to come back in may if you want to go through the actual cap and gown graduation ceremony. feel free to ask any questions you have. i'm here to help if i can. you can send me a ...

It sounds like the program would work out well for you then. I'm not sure how they do NUR 200, though. Because you only have to take it if you've been out of LPN school for more than a year, and my coworker and I graduated in August 2007 so we didn't...

well they actually had the pinning before we took our finals. i thought that was kinda wierd, especially with quite a few people sitting right on the 75% mark, so it could really go either way. but that's how they did it. i acually didn't do the pinn...

I really don't know all that much about Bessemer. But from talking to numerous people, the general consensus is that the program is much more organized than B'ham. I can't really give you any specifics, except about B'ham. But if I do hear anything I...

I'll second the opinion on attending the bessemer campus instead of B'ham. I'm graduating from the B'ham program this semester(just took my last final :balloons:) and I'll just tell you it's crazy over there. There are too many things to point out so...

I haven't attended the program myself, but I work with someone who is attending now. But it's my understanding that the online program just started being offered this past summer semester. I think my coworker was in the first group admitted, but I mi...

I have sort of a dilemma right now and would appreciate any insight you could offer. I am a RN student getting ready to graduate in December. I'm currently a LPN and have worked on my med-surg unit for over a year. I love the people I work with as we...

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I agree that alot could happen between now and December, but I've been contemplating the idea for a while now. Only time will tell... Thanks again! :)

There's a really extensive thread on this if you look in the student forum. It's up at the top under "threads of continuing interest" I think. It's called "Things you will need for nursing school" or something like that. Hope this helps... Oh and con...

I can't speak for the Huntsville area(I'm closer to Tuscaloosa) but I'll tell you what I know. I graduated from LPN school last August. When I applied to the hospital that I work at now I had absolutely no problem getting a job. I had at least six ca...

You definitely won't have to deal with cold winters here. I mean, it does get cold here, but it might be cold for a few days then it warms up to the 60s and 70s even in January. My stepmom moved here from Ohio and she loves it. She couldn't stand the...

I'm not sure about the details, but I think DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa, Alabama pays an $8000 RN sign on bonus. I don't know if they offer assistance with relocation. The website is dchsystem.com. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I can only speak for Lawson State's Birmingham campus, but I got into the LPN to RN mobility program without having taken microbiology. I'm taking it now with my nursing classes. So yes, there is a chance that you'll get in without having all your pr...

I'm working on clinical paperwork and I need to find some possible side effects of lanolin cream. I've looked in all my textbooks and done some internet searches and I really can't find anything. Any ideas?? Any help would be great. Thanks:nuke:

I know in nursing school we were always told not to chart that a patient was asleep. What if they were really dead?? I think they said to say "Patient resting in bed with eyes closed. Respirations even and unlabored" Just throw something in there to ...

I'm working on a presentation for my speech class about the importance of having and advanced directive. I'm not having any trouble figuring out what I'm going to talk about but we are required to have a visual aid. I think I'm going to do a handout ...

Thanks for the ideas! I'll probably do something like that.

Hello everyone. I have a question. I apologize if this has been discussed before but wasn't able to find the info i needed through a search so here goes. I'm starting LPN school in the fall and I should graduate by next summer and I'm really interest...

Thanks for the reply. So do you think these programs are actually legit? I mean don't you have to be and RN before you can get a BSN?
