I took the rest of the time to just work. Now I am tired of being a CNA and want to get my license. The problem is that I know that I am not ready for the RN boards. I would rather audit some classes before I dive back in to that text. Someone recommended I try the LPN boards. Would it be worth it to try that first?

I have a great job lined up and all I need is my letter stating that I can work as an LPN, license pending. So my first question is- when should I expect my letter? I have a classmate who took her exam on a Friday and recieved her letter 8 days later(the following Saturday). I took my test last Friday(July 18th) so today is 8 days but unfortunatley there is no letter in the mail today. If anyone has been through this process could you please let me know how long it took your letter to come? My second question related to this is- when my letter comes will there be another license fee. I believe there is something like a $65 fee but I cannot find any info anywhere.
Thanks so much! :-)

I’ve always been interested in nursing, though. If anyone knows about associates degrees in nursing that would be great too. As long as it’s a program that allows you to be a RN, not a LPN, and has a reputation for 95%+ success rates on the NCLEX-RN.

I start $25 an hour as an lpn plus they pay for my school and my hours is flexible that means i only work weekends 24 hours a week 2 days a week and at the same time go to school. my mother who do not support me says i wasted my time & should have done rn already… that fact that she always look down on me, does not support me and cheated on my dad i want to listen to other people’s opinion & not hers.so did i waste my time?

I do plan to go back to school to finish my bachelor’s and take the NCLEX-RN eventually. (Hopefully registering for night classes again this fall).
I’m especially interested in working in an Oncology department at a hospital or an ICU unit in the future, but I realize much experience, and my RN license, is needed.
Therefore, where should I start? I would love to start working, so I’ll take just about anything at first, but I’d like to get my foot in the door at a local hospital as an LPN for the experience, and to learn in any unit, but I never see ads for hiring. How do I go about getting my resume out there?
Hopefully there are some experienced nurses browsing here that might give a new, wet-behind-the-ears nurse some sound advice. =)

I just started an LPN program. Although I’m starting off well, I have some concerns about the testing. I notice a lot of times we r marked wrong for an answer that is right according to the book and the “NCLEX style questions” that r on the CD that came with the book. We bring it up to the instructor, sometimes he gives points back, but sometimes he won’t. I’ve looked all over the web 4 info 2 help prove my point, but no luck. He says that the book is just a guide and NCLEX doesn’t recognize one book over another & we just need 2 go by what he says. My problem is, that if NCLEX wants the answers the way they r on the CD/book, I don’t think it’s fair 2 reinforce a different answer. Example:once a lpn is licensed s/he can apply to another state 4 licensure by:a.taking ncelx 4 that state. b.interstate compact c.endorsment d.following the NursePracticeAct. the book/CD say C. endorsement,but he says B. interstate compact. where can i find proof?
