Phase two of LPN school

I am so excited and nervous. Today, I received a phone call from the LPN program inviting me for an interview with the school. This is the second phase of the application process to enter the program. The interview will be conducted on Monday. I just need to prepare some answers for the potential questions. I hope that all goes well.

My first step to becoming a nurse.

My official test begins tommorow. I have done very well during the prep class sample tests I hope to do the same in the official test. I will post here my outcome. Wish me luck....

I am now an RN

I have not logged in years. It really has been a hard and long road for me to become an RN. I am so proud to announce that I have completed my RN through Excelsior College. That final stage which is the clinical performance exam better known as the CPNE was a beast.

I failed due to mistakes on my care planning and documentation. It is one thing to practice and study and then it is ano...

Interview Phase

It has been about two weeks since my interview. It was among the hardest interviews that I have ever attended. The questions were not that difficult. They required some basic knowledge of what LPN's do etc... I am a little anxious due to the fact that they mentioned that they have to review my application and test scores with the committee before I will be invited to another interview. WOW. I had no idea that I needed to undergo more than one interview in order to be accepted into the school. I don't know what else to think, my test scores where high I think I answered all the interview questions correctly. Unless they did not like my response to their question of why I wanted to become an LPN, I think the process went well. I answered that question clearly and honestly. The hardest question for me was why did I not pursue nursing from the beginning. I answered very honestly. I hope they appreciated my honesty.
