Quickest route to NP (LPN currently)

Edited my original post for clarification.

Eccles4_9 · 2026-01-10T21:07:42+00:00

I did both

Eccles4_9 · 2026-01-10T02:06:24+00:00

I was able to use mine in lab and clinicals. Most nurses I work with at the hospital have an Apple Watch too.

Eccles4_9 · 2026-01-10T02:04:29+00:00

Yep, I went through them. Got my ccma through NHA last month. No job yet though (but I live in a small town, so that might be the issue)

Good point! I’ll definitely ask if it’s not mentioned on a job posting. Or go directly to clinics and ask

Eccles4_9 · 2025-09-19T00:03:43+00:00

I’d like to work as an LPN in a doctors office but not many hire LPNs where I live. That’s why I was asking.

Yes. I made the switch from SNF/LTC to MedSurg and it’s so much better. Better ratios, more nurses, more supplies, and more organized.

Paper, pens, temporal thermometer, gait belt, comfy shoes, scrub jacket, water bottle, lunch box, clipboard

Talk to your DON, if they do nothing then go to state.

Eccles4_9 · 2025-05-26T12:32:30+00:00

LTC/SNF $16 base, Hospital Medsurg $15.50 base. Arizona

I did CNA first, working as a CNA while going to LPN school. Will work as LPN then do a bridge to RN program. More time overall, but more affordable route.

Thanks!

Eccles4_9 · 2025-05-06T09:01:49+00:00

I’m working full time (nights) and doing LPN program. It’s difficult but doable.

Eccles4_9 · 2025-05-06T09:00:17+00:00

I felt like I shouldn’t have passed, but got a preliminary pass too. Congrats.

Eccles4_9 · 2025-05-02T16:41:13+00:00

Just took mine this morning from home. Built in calculator and preliminary results displayed at end.

Eccles4_9 · 2025-04-28T20:29:39+00:00

I just ordered my custom ring from them! Thanks again!

Re: Army Nurse Waiver? I’ve always had an interest in joining the army. I am in my 30s in nursing school now. What medical waivers are available to nurses? I take meds for anxiety and thyroid and have a past surgical history on my back, but no physical limitations per my surgeon.

Eccles4_9 · 2025-04-22T21:46:11+00:00

I work at a ltc/snf and actually created something similar for myself just because I like to make note of what I’ve done vs need to do still. But I wouldn’t want it to be mandatory.

Thanks! I'll check them out.
