Hi, Iam a 46 year old lady that has been an L.P.N since 1991, the majority

of my career has been in long term care, have struggled for years to obtain

R.N. degree to do rasing a family and had one disabled parent living with us.

The tradition method for going to school was pretty much not a path that

I could do, so i am attepting the excelsior college way, I am planing to take

my first exam in dec. I am currently working in hospice and love it, It has

really motivated to move along with my studies. I want to be able to case

manager. :chuckle

Hello everyone! Back to school for me too! Hope I can remember how to study!

Hello to everyone. I am 33 years old. I have been an LPN for 5 years. I am currently enrolled in an LPN to BSN program. I attend classes 1 night a week. I am in the 3rd semester. It will take 3 years. I have gone a whole year...only 2 left. I am sure there are faster programs out there, but the 1 night a week thing works out really well for me because I have to work and have 3 children I am home schooling. So, I am currrently in Psychology-Life Span and Human Development and Philosophy. We do 2 classes each semester. Next semester starts A&P, I believe....Best wishes to everyone!:smiley_aa

Hello everybody!

I've been an LPN for 5 years now, started the diploma RN program at my hospital this August! I work in the ER where I plan to work as an RN.

[stephiebob/lpn2rn]

hey everybody, I graduate in 3 days from an lpn 2 rn bridge program I've been an lpn for 15 years, it will be nice to get the respect and pay that I deserve.

[TheCommuter, BSN, RN]

I completed an LVN program in October 2005 and my NCLEX examination is scheduled for late December. If all goes well, I definitely plan to complete an LVN-to-RN bridge program that is not as costly as the LVN course.

Hi, I am 43 yrs old. I have 3 children, ages 20 to 11 yrs old. I have been an LPN for 18 yrs and have tried unsuccessfully to leave nursing. Well I finally decided to go for my RN. I start classes for pre-nursing requirements in Jan. '06.

[Katchme1002]

I am an lpn interested in going back to school to get my BS. I was wondering is it really possible to do all that online? What online nursing course is good and widely recognized if any? Need some help getting started!

[zo2fan4ever]

I guess you can do it online for all the courses. But the clinical is what will be hard to do. The College Network is a good place to go if you want to do online. Most of it is challenge tests and studying workbooks.

I am getting my associated nursing degree at the local community college.

[bradleyshanetaylor]

Worked for about a year in ER and Med-Surg, will be attending local community college next fall for my RN. cant wait. took time off to get more patient contact and to take a few classes for my BSN.

Hi everyone,

I'm 30 years old and I've been an LPN for 2 1/2 years now, (my how time has flown by.) I'm currently enrolled in Excelsior College although I've only completed one exam so far in one year, I just keep putting it off. I need a swift kick in the rear. LOL

Anywho, I'm married with an 11 year old son and currently work in sub acute rehab as a full time night nurse. My goal is to get my RN so I can work in the ER. I've been in the ER as a tech for 5 years and I absolutely love it.
