Hi! My name is Anna...mother of 13-going-on-30 year-old daughter, wife to hard-working husband, currently working in a trauma center in SoCal. Finished all pre-reqs this semester and decided to take a semester off after 6 years of non-stop school. Got accepted to bridge program at local community college. Love being an LVN but it's time to make more money. The daughter decided she wants to be a doctor...:banghead:so much for early retirement! (We are very proud and will be very broke unless she gets some scholarships.)

Hello all you bridgers or soon to be bridgers..............

I am a 26 soon to be 27 year old LPN and have been since Feb/03. I am in my third semester of ADN program and will graduate in May of this year......WOOHOO I can't wait. I have worked in all kinds of areas: Surgical, Oncology, Dialysis, Interventional Radiology and, Orthopedics. I am hoping to get into an OR when I graduate. My husband and I are planning on moving and the hospital I am looking at has an internship program for any new RNs that don't have OR experience. Hope all of you do well in your studies. I have two Med/Surg critical care classes and one management class left.

Hi, I'm Debbie and have been an LPN since Oct 06. I'm currently working in a small ER, I just started here 3 weeks ago. Prior, I worked on a med-surg floor at a very large trauma hospital where I was used as an aide and not a licensed nurse. The ER is a better fit, I'm used as a nurse and fully utilize my license here. I'm also going to the local college's one day a week program starting in Sept, so I'm busy. Given that I'm a single mom to two really funny kids, who are never boring and keep me on my toes because they are so smart, I don't get bored, just tired! Good luck to everyone.:balloons:

Hello, Im Shasta. Im 23 years old. I live in Oklahoma City.

I just received my LPN license and graduated LPN school in June. And I'm already going back to school for my RN. I start back to school in January. Im currently looking for a LPN job but I am struggling to find a job. It seems everywhere I apply wants at least one year of experience. I guess maybe it was naive on my part but I just knew that once I got my license that the flood gates would open and I would have plenty of job opportunities. I guess I will continue with my career development teacher's advice "APPLY APPLY APPLY".

Hi, I'm a 47 year old mom of 4, grandma of 3. Married for 9 years to great husband. Currently trying to finish the LPN - RN program. I have 6 weeks left. This semester has proven to be the greatest challenge. I have to remind myself only a few weeks left. I am currently seeking employment as an RN. Many offers, just can't decide which one to choose. got to go now and find a good research article for Role Development.

Hi I'm 24 y.o. I have 2 kids daughter is 6 y.o and son is 3 y.o also married for 5 yrs to a loving, supporting man. I graduated LPN in July passed boards the 1st time round in sept. I will start orientation at a LTCF in a large hospital in a week, so i'm nervous about that. I have been in school non-stop since 2005, and this Aug. had two pre-req's left so i'm still doing that while I wait to bridge over to the ADN. I just took my TEAS test or pre-nursing test (math,eng,science,reading) so I wont know if I was selected for one of the ten seats availabe for the bridge in January. I have my fingers crossed and praying every 30 mins LOL .
