Hi everyone! :D:specs::D

I've been an LPN for about a year now. I've not been able to find employment in the field though because I'm lacking in experience. :down: I applied for advanced placement at Gateway CC's program in Phoenix last week. :yeah: Chasing this RN dream has been one huge roller coaster ride for me! :jester: It's taken me a few years to get to this point, but I'm determined to press on and learn from mistakes that I've made along the way. :D I was laid off from Motorola a couple of years ago. My job went to another country. :eek:

My name is Melanie...I have been an LPN for 5years. I am currently doing my basic courses at this time,however, I begin LPN to RN in Spring 2010. I am super excited! Currently I am working Baylor weekend in a nursing home, and I previously worked on a med/surg floor doing 3 twelve hour shifts. I miss it dearly and eventually will go back to that floor as an RN! Working on med/surg gave me the nudge to get myself back in school. My husband just graduated w/ his RN. We currently live in Alabama, and one day we may travel nurse together, that I am super excited about!

Congratulations in graduating from LPN School.

Word of advice continue to study and stay motivated in Rn School.

Dedication and Studying are very important.

When you are in Rn school, you are definitely going to be tested on Critical Thinking and You are definitely are going to be asked the "WHY this is happening and why your patient is taking theses medications "questions. To me in Rn school, I found that the instructors want you to go more in depth about the illnesses and medications.

Since you already been in nursing school, I think you will be fine. Definitely get some hands-on experience when you become an LPN so you can keep up with your skills and be comfortable and confident with your skills.

When you attend RN school, go back to the Student role and not the nurse role that already has experience in the workforce because it can interfere when you are taking a test and may pick the wrong answer. ALot of LPNs had that problem. Go with the answer that the textbook provide.

Once again Congratulations and Good Luck in your Nursing career. :up:

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to the site and I happened across this page.

I have been a LPN for the past 2 years and have just recently applied to a RN program here in Miami, Fl. The wait is murder!!!!

I am so glad that there is a place where I can vent and know that others understand what I am going thru.I hope to hear from many of you soon. And congrats to all those along the way that have made it into the programs and all those that have finished and are continuing on.

Wish me luck.

Hi all!

I'm 32, been an LPN for 10 years, currently working at a military hospital. I applied to the career ladder pathway program at OCCC in OKC in early May... and I'm ANXIOUSLY awaiting to hear if I was accepted. I really hope that I do, because I've already changed positions at work to accomodate for school, and I'm saving up tuition with extra shifts.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me!

I hope I can network with other LPN/RN bridge students through allnurses.....

especially if there are any that applied to OCCC also. :D

good luck to all!
