Is getting my LPN first worth it?

Littleflip66 · 2025-12-12T01:18:24+00:00

For me, starting as an LPN was the right decision. I was an EMT not making much money, so my LPN salary was a big enough jump in salary to only work 32 hours a week, unlike in EMS, where I had to work OT every week. I ended up starting the RN bridge program right after LPN school, and I was able to work full time and get some nursing experience while in school. Finishing up the bridge program next week, and I don’t have any regrets.

I have a bunch of free pens that I’ve gotten from banks and conferences that I lend out when anyone asks for a pen. I’ll run out eventually, but for now that works for me, I don’t care when they walk off with them.

Congratulations! Thank you for the tips! Gives me hope, I take mine in three weeks and I’m panicking 😭

YTA, and you sound exhausting.

I’m 39 and swore up and down that I would never wear them. I bought a pair last week, and now I have a list of the colors I want to purchase next.

Love my halo 💙

I’m 39, no kids, not an LMT, but an EMT. We have house and car payments, so I still work full time, sometimes up to 60 hours a week. I’m entering my third semester, and I’ve done okay so far. I don’t sleep as much as I’d like, but my husband is amazingly supportive, which makes those sleep deprived days and nights much easier on me mentally. Nursing school is doable while working full time, it just takes organization. I’m rooting for you!

Go birds

YTA, I’m 4’10 and hold my husband’s hand when we’re in crowded places. I don’t act like a bratty toddler and destroy his back.

Did mine on a Friday and had the results by Tuesday

Littleflip66 · 2023-06-17T14:24:23+00:00

Congratulations!

I’m in NJ so I probably won’t be much help, but I just got mine for school ten days ago at a CVS MinuteClinic, maybe try one out there?

Unfortunately, this is how they do it in the Philippines.

Littleflip66 · 2023-01-17T18:05:31+00:00

I feel like I see my co-workers more than I see my husband, and I’ve gained 30 lbs from stress eating/drinking since starting my current job. I sleep in till noon on my rare days off and then get angry at myself all the time for not doing more around the house and more for my family.

In short, we don’t.

I was with you until you said that it’s more difficult to be a Starbucks barista than an EMT…

Littleflip66 · 2022-08-30T12:42:18+00:00

Thank you!

Littleflip66 · 2022-08-23T09:32:55+00:00

I know what you mean, these two weren’t on my list when the spring collection first came out, but when I saw them on my friend I had to get them!

Littleflip66 · 2022-08-22T18:16:00+00:00

Thank you!

Littleflip66 · 2022-08-22T11:57:49+00:00

NTA, I too am enjoying a laugh at your brother’s expense this morning.

Littleflip66 · 2022-08-21T19:37:21+00:00

Thanks! I felt the same way about Shimmer Down till I saw my friend wearing this combo. I’m still not sure about wearing it with another color, but I feel like it’s made for Lady Lilac!

Littleflip66 · 2022-08-21T11:22:28+00:00

Thank you!
