Adam, I have been watching your videos and you inspired me. I went back to school in January of 2018 and finished in August 2019. I attended Chamberlain University. I finally have my BSN!!! Thank you for the encouragement!!! I am 56 years old. Look out world here I come!!!!
Oh I also wanted to know what specialty you’re working in at the hospital. It would be cool to see a “day in the life” video of your hospital experience.
A masters in Nursing education is a great graduate program. I have my masters in nursing leadership. All accredited masters programs requires the three Ps patho, physical assessment, and pharmacology. The great thing is if you want to later become an NP you can do the post masters certificates where your three ps would transfer and you’d then just do your NP clinical and you’re awarded a post masters certificate not a new masters degree and you’re able to sit for NP board exams and board certification exams. Research post masters NP certificate programs. My masters has allowed me to work in academia which requires a masters in nursing no matter the concentration. My concentration is leadership but still qualifies me to teach and/or lead. I’m starting my DNP at GCU in January. Check that program out as well. You can specialize in educational leadership for your DNP! Congrats on going back. My MsN was an amazing eye opening experience.
Justin Fontenot Wow! Thanks so much for that advice. I think I may pursue a post masters NP program perhaps later in life. Good Luck on DNP! That’s my ultimate goal.
I’m loving your life hustle is what I call it. I’ve been watching your TH-cams for a while now.(years). You’re so inspirational keep going and be a blessing for others. I’m most positive your are helping so many around the world. You are Awesome sauce. lol
Angel Williams That’s what I would love to do. I have lupus and I don’t know how much longer my body is going to work effectively running up and down halls.
Somehow I discovered you and I'm glad I did because I'm a new LPN ready to upgrade to RN. This was my first video and I'm hooked. You're great! Subscribing now....
I have seen so many videos about this content and this by far is the most informative and you have been much more transparent about using your own experiences as a way to help explain your point. Thank you
@@adamdashawn Glad I found your channel. I subscribed last night lol. I live in California and I tried for the lvn program at my community college and it was more lottery based. So they only took 24 top students out of a 120, and I didn't get in. I have completed most of my prerequisites to get into the rn program. I only need two more science classes assuming I pass this semesters chem class. My final is next week lol. However I'm ancy to get into the workplace so I applied at another community college and got into a psch tech program that starts at the end of June and it's an 18 month program. I want to start building some experience and hopefully get hired with the state or county. My struggle has been just wanting to get my foot in the door already and it's just nice to know and hear that not everyone has to go the same way about it. Just because you start lower, does not mean that you have to stop there by any means. To see you you didn't stop at lpn is very motivating! And even more so that you are now considering your master's degree! That's awesome and I hope to see your experience along the way. Maybe you could talk about your schooling experience and the difference in maybe difficult as far as one program to the next? Thank you again for replying.
Denise Reyes Sounds like you have got a great plan! You are so right it doesn’t matter where you start but where are you finish. I went from CNA-LPN-RN-BSN! Keep persevering that is really the only way to make it a nursing because I know the struggles will get difficult sometimes. Keep applying to all the programs you need to. There is no issue with starting as an LPN! Good Luck to you. And review some more of my videos I am pretty sure I covered the differences in the difficulties between LPN and RN programs!
congratulations!! i found you on youtube in the last month of my RN-BSN at WGU...you are so inspiring❤️...i took a month off and i just started back at WGU for my MSN of education...i look forward to seeing you on your journey!! i am definately a new subbie☺️
I have watched your videos starting with your LPN days. You are such an inspiration! ! I just passed my Nclex two weeks ago thank you for all of your amazing videos!!! you will succeed in anything you do :)
This video was EVERYTHING! I didn’t even notice it was long. I’m an LPN that’s graduates with her BSN in May and this is the 1st video I’ve watched doing my research about pay that doesn’t seem bias towards a certain degree of nursing. Great job and you’ll be a wonderful nurse educator
Shaday White me too!! I was so frustrated because I was attending ITT Tech and they closed a year before I finished my associate RN. We had no notice and the staff was fired by email. I applied to go to ECPI University and took my entrance exams and it was accepted. I did everything I could to prepare for this accelerated program. I got a JEEP & moved so that I would be closer to the university in case of Bad weather. About two months into the program, I woke up one morning and my neck felt like I was giving birth through my cervical vertebrae. The nerves in my arms hurt and I could barely cut off my alarm. The ER did nothing and I waited five days to see my physical medicine doctor and due to that happening, ECPI Dropped me from the RN program even though my absence was excused by a doctor. I was heartbroken and in pain. I decided I didn’t want to go back and try nursing again. This is giving me more help to try just one more time because perhaps at the other two colleges I was just in the wrong place and at the wrong time.
@@montereyharris1277 ITT TECH is just a scam anyway . The degrees are fake . You wouldn't have been able to practice nursing legally if you did graduate .
You are so sweet!! And your video helped me SSSOOOOO much! THANK YOU! you made a lot of sense and made a lot of the info and questions I had a lot more clearer. Youve helped me get a little bit closer or gave me that little push i needed, to go in the direction i am trying go. More like scared to chose, lol, but... I gotta take that leap! 😊God bless you much luck and all the best in your success !!
i just got accepted to the LPN program i applied to! i start in january 2020 and i’ll be finished in december 2020. i also plan to work for a year or 2 to save money because it wasn’t my first choice. but i do want to work my way up to APRN
Great video Adam!! I'm a new subscriber!! I'm a RN as well! It's so great to see other guys as nurses, especially African American guys. Keep up the great job you are doing man! Love it!
@@mphshotboy Congrats to u on choosing to be a part of the most trusted profession! Since 2002!? That's awesome! I've been a nurse since 2015 and love it as well!
You will make a great instructor one day you take your time to explain things and I think that's the biggest problem with training and teaching anyone for any job you are very gifted
Truthfully you are so beautiful and I can tell that you are smart!!!! Thanks for this video :) currently in LPN school (9 month program) just wanted to shed light that some LPN programs are 9 months-18 months :)
Hey Adam Congratulations on all success so far!🎊 I’ve been watching you since your journey through RN school,I always enjoy your videos you are an inspiration, we’re in the same boat, I’m an RN ADN working in medsurge for a year now and I will be starting the RN MSN in education as well September 2019 @ WGU so any word of advice will help, I’m nervous about online classes it will be my first time, you have helped so far, THANK YOU!!! Stay blessed ! Sincerely Lady J😊😊😊😊😊
Hey Adam what’s up you look good as always but you know this so why am I to keep bringing it up because I’m new to your page you re a beautiful person please believe that stay sweet ❤
Abby Clarke hey! I am starting my bsn program too January 2019 at wgu and just like you I’m so nervous too. Maybe we could communicate each other and give support. I’ll start my Professional Leadership and communication class on the 15th. Let me know .....Thanks ......
In Wisconsin hospitals are requiring all RNs to get their bachelor's degree. They will hire you as a ADN but you sign a contract that you will complete it in 5 years. They also pay for it.
Same in California. By 2020 you have to have a BSN. There are some hospitals in SOCAL that will not hire you unless you have your bachelors. I believe they are called magnet hospitals.
KAITLYNN HOOD I’m not sure. I know where I go, they have like a “sister” school which is an LVN program. They get like a scholarship or a small discount to go to where I go.
I’m starting LPN school in August & i really want to do the bridge to RN, this helped me so much because I’ve been trying to understand all the differences!!! Thank you so much
This is THE BEST breakdown I’ve found on this topic. I was thinking about, and will in the Fall, start Nursing school. I found a program/school that will allow me to obtain my LPN prior to obtaining my R.N. license so that I will be able to get straight to the money since I already have my Bachelors degree in something and I’ll to pay out of pocket. Congrats on deciding to get your Masters!!!!!
Good video-However I'm so glad I live in CT. As an LPN my hourly rate has been as high as $32.50 working a skilled nursing/rehab. facility. I work with an LPN who travels from Tennessee and works here in CT because obviously the pay scale is VERY different here in the North.
Congratulations on your success Adam. It definitely depends on where you live and work. I am currently an LVN/LPN, my last position in a clinic ($33/hr)2016, last Case Management position ($38/hr)2018. I will start my last semester in the RN (ADN) program in Jan 2019, then I will start WGU immediately after taking the NCLEX.
I just like to listen to you! You should do a live stream so we can talk to you real time regarding nursing goals. Pleeeeaasssee! Ok and you made me laugh so hard when you said at the nursing home you were not even thinking anymore !! Same here. Its easy to reach a ceiling in the long term care setting. Im also transitioning over from skilled to acute side! Keep doing big things were cheering for you!
I ❤ how you moved up the ladder. Boy have times changed, time to run up a check✔😜. I'm a CNA and my co-workers and I have made $20-$25 a hr through agency, keyword: AGENCY. Most hospitals will pay CNAs $12.50-$17. It's all based on where you're willing to stop...keep seeking the highest pay if U feel underpaid!!! This video was awesomeee!!!! You make us CNAs and LPNs sooo proud!!!! Beautiful skin Beautiful smile ❤🤴🏻Beautiful Heart n A BeautiFuuuul ✔💰💸😝Ahhh (in Meg the Stallion's voice).
Hey Adam I have been watching ur videos and u r amazing..all the best for ur master program..u gonna rock..I just got admitted at WGU for RN to BSN and I m so scared lol bcz I never took online classes before. can tell how did u finish in 6 months pls?
If people are interested in this type of nursing, and they want to mate really awesome money and make almost as much is a medical doctor, get your certified registered nurse anesthist!!! Here in Virginia they make about 150,000 to 170,000!!! If you have your associate RN, there is a program with the Roanoke higher education Center and associate RNs can go into a program RN or ADN - MSN &. It’s four years but they go from an associate degree RN to a masters degree nurse anesthetist!! They also have a DNP for the program & not so sure that a doctorate in nursing in that field would really make a lot more but people would just pay a heck of a lot more for getting a doctorate degree in nursing. Who in the world cares about a DNP if they have a masters degree and they’re making 170,000 a year?? I’m just giving people some suggestions because I’ve met two people that went into the program and absolutely love it!!
My Sonia doing an ekg tech and phelobotomy class in high school... what is the next step would you say to do with that pct lpn sonogram not really sure what’s your thoughts
Did your employer pay for you to get your BSN and are they going to pay for you to get your MSN? Most hospitals and long-term care facilities here in Virginia do pay for nurses and other employees to go get their education in nursing.
Thanks for the information Adam... You talked about doing your BSN program accelerated for 6months...Did I get that correctly? Secondly, what are the steps to take in this direction?
@@adamdashawn Yeah I understood you clearly. So I can also get BSN within 6 months since I'm already an RN, is that correct? Then, how do I go about this, what are the steps...And I forgot, I'm a new Sub...
Joseph Arkoful Hey Joseph, so I did the RN to BSN program at Western Governors University. This is an online university that allows you to move at your own pace. The next step is to apply to the university, after you apply, an enrollment counselor will take you the rest of the way.
This was soooo informative. Thank you so much!!! So, after going to a nursing school you become an LPN? and if you want to become an RN, you have to go to college and get into a program there correct?
christinaheaven many LPNs attend a technical college and some community colleges offer LPN programs. RNs have an associates degree or bachelors. All LPNs and RNs have attended a Nursing program one way or another.
Adam Price, BSN, RN I’m currently attending a community college and I was working towards my associates degree in nursing however the process is going slowly because I failed a couple general Ed courses so I won’t be getting into the program here until fall 2020 and graduating in 2022. (already been here until since fall 2017). So I was thinking of either transferring to a nursing school or going for my BSN at a university. I really don’t know what to do. My advisor said you become an LPN after nursing school and if I want to become an RN some day I would have to go back to school one day. I live in NY.
Adam Price, BSN, RN I don’t know what to do!!! It’s so stressful. I want to be an RN but I also want to get straight into the field. So from my understanding you went to a technical school or a community College to obtain your LPN and then went from there?
christinaheaven Yes, I went to a Technical school for LPN, Community College for RN (associates), and then University for BSN. NY and TN may have a lot of differences.
Community colleges take two years to complete the LPN program, while private schools only need to pass ATI Teas text to enroll, taking as little as one year. I don’t know how to choose
Emma Cora Depends on your lifestyle. If you can buckle down and get it done in the one year program, which would probably be a more demanding program I’m sure, I would do that one. If you don’t want to be that overwhelmed than the 2 Year program would be better, plus the community college would probably be cheaper.
I’m currently in a LPN program and plan on going for BSN after a graduate and that’s bcuz I plan to go for my masters to specialize in midwifery one day. So I’m taking it one day at a time.
i kinda had the same trajectory, i worked as an LPN in LTC, got my RN and started workin at a hospital..but worked only 13 shifts a month so i worked eight hour PRN gigs on the side...nursing is a good career , just gotta know how to work your sched and continue pursuing more education so you can eventually do less physical work and more paper work: i work in NYC: LPN here is 60-65k - year new grad RN here is about 90k-100k new grad NP is 100k-120k new grad
I notice you constantly refer to nurses as her instead of him or her. The nursing profession have lowered their standard with their dress clothes. Entering a hospital or Kaiser Permanente, one does not know who is a nurse. I've seen nurses wearing sneakers and their scrubs were wrinkled like they just got out of bed. Going back to the 70's and early 80's, all nurses wore white and a cap signifying what nursing school they graduate. Adam is correct, many hospitals will not hire LPN's. A few years ago when my mother was a patient at Duke University Medical Center, I met a LPN and she told me, the reason why she was still working at Duke because she had been there for 30 years, but Duke Medical Center no longer hired LPN's. Back in the 70's my aunt was the head nursing night supervisor at Howard University. Home girl was from the old school graduating from the old black Lincoln Hospital School of Nursing in the 40's which was a 3 year RN program. The sams applied to the old black Freedman's Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Carlos, great points. I lived in Massachusetts from 1982 to 1989. I started as a can. I went to lpn school and you had better be starched white with stockings and clean white shoes. I went to the VA hospital for a few years but if you wanted to work at Mass General, Brigham and Women's, Boston City, you needed to have at least an adn. Fast forward to today in North Carolina hospitals, you better have a bsn . They want you to have critical care skills. Every thing is so high tech now.
Google User thanks darling. I can’t really recommend an LPN to RN bridge online program because I did mine at my local community college. However, I’ve heard good things about Excelsior. I hear they are expensive though. I think you should bridge whenever you feel ready.
Google User don’t go to Chamberlain. It has one of the worst NCLEX Pass rates of all. I know there is a college in Maryland. I’m not sure what state you live in, but there is a college in Maryland that offers an LPN to RN Program
Adam,
I have been watching your videos and you inspired me. I went back to school in January of 2018 and finished in August 2019. I attended Chamberlain University. I finally have my BSN!!! Thank you for the encouragement!!! I am 56 years old. Look out world here I come!!!!

My daughter makes 26.00 per hour as a new grad LVN in Los Angeles so it definitely depends on where you live.
In Vancouver, LPNs make $27.5-$28.5 starting out. Cost of living is expensive here though.
This is THE BEST breakdown I’ve found on this topic. I was thinking about, and will in the Fall, start Nursing school. I found a program/school that will allow me to obtain my LPN prior to obtaining my R.N. license so that I will be able to get straight to the money since I already have my Bachelors degree in something and I’ll to pay out of pocket.

Hey Adam,can you make a video on different options when it comes to paying for college and advancing your career?
Good luck to you with your future goals
Get it my BROTHER...man it's best to do it when you have all this energy so you don't have think about it when you get older...
So the hospital that you got hired at did not consider your years of experience as an LPN and they started you as an entry level RN?
They considered my years of LPN experience.
Thankyou so much
I know a couple of LPNs in CT that's making between $30 and 35..if you ever want to make the move
I live in upstate ny I know a lpn who got an agency job and she makes $42 an hour
@D R which prison?
Tanx 4 d information
Your energy is contagious💚
Congratulations on your success Adam. It definitely depends on where you live and work. I am currently an LVN/LPN, my last position in a clinic ($33/hr)2016, last Case Management position ($38/hr)2018. I will start my last semester in the RN (ADN) program in Jan 2019, then I will start WGU immediately after taking the NCLEX.
Which state is this?

Renee Lvs uploaded😊. I 💜 your videos Adam😊
@@nursej.smithbsnrn8605 awesome. How long have you been a nurse, and where were you a case manager at was it an agency?
My lpn program is 10 months and it’s the best and oldest in my state 🙌🏾
I just like to listen to you! You should do a live stream so we can talk to you real time regarding nursing goals. Pleeeeaasssee! Ok and you made me laugh so hard when you said at the nursing home you were not even thinking anymore !! Same here. Its easy to reach a ceiling in the long term care setting. Im also transitioning over from skilled to acute side! Keep doing big things were cheering for you!
J Ss Thanks so much! I live streams randomly! Stay tuned.
You'll be an excellent nurse practitioner👍👍.........just think about it! Yr amazing. I'm debating on doing LPN or RN while still working as an M.A.🤞🙏
I am in the same boat I am a massage therapist though.
What did you end up picking
On the path for my BSN but i think my Masters will be in Public Health Administration
I Like your personality. I am a soon to be Nurse (RN) like you. I have my BSN and i am about to take the NCLEX so wish me luck.
Yolanda Wilson Good Luck!
Adam Price, BSN, RN Thank you so much
Adam great information! You are so cute too. I so want to do the nursing program in my area here I Ga. Wish me luck.😬😁
I ❤ how you moved up the ladder. Boy have times changed, time to run up a check✔😜. I'm a CNA and my co-workers and I have made $20-$25 a hr through agency, keyword: AGENCY. Most hospitals will pay CNAs $12.50-$17. It's all based on where you're willing to stop...keep seeking the highest pay if U feel underpaid!!! This video was awesomeee!!!! You make us CNAs and LPNs sooo proud!!!! Beautiful skin Beautiful smile ❤🤴🏻Beautiful Heart n A BeautiFuuuul ✔💰💸😝Ahhh (in Meg the Stallion's voice).
Awwwwwww! 😘😘😘😘
@@adamdashawn 😊😘
Shit in Michigan you can get 28 start off pay as lpn so yea different states
Hey Adam I have been watching ur videos and u r amazing..all the best for ur master program..u gonna rock..I just got admitted at WGU for RN to BSN and I m so scared lol bcz I never took online classes before. can tell how did u finish in 6 months pls?
If people are interested in this type of nursing, and they want to mate really awesome money and make almost as much is a medical doctor, get your certified registered nurse anesthist!!! Here in Virginia they make about 150,000 to 170,000!!! If you have your associate RN, there is a program with the Roanoke higher education Center and associate RNs can go into a program RN or ADN - MSN &. It’s four years but they go from an associate degree RN to a masters degree nurse anesthetist!! They also have a DNP for the program & not so sure that a doctorate in nursing in that field would really make a lot more but people would just pay a heck of a lot more for getting a doctorate degree in nursing. Who in the world cares about a DNP if they have a masters degree and they’re making 170,000 a year?? I’m just giving people some suggestions because I’ve met two people that went into the program and absolutely love it!!
Monterey Harris wait so it’s 4 extra years after becoming a Rn to be certified as a nurse anesthest! That’s a lot !
My Sonia doing an ekg tech and phelobotomy class in high school... what is the next step would you say to do with that pct lpn sonogram not really sure what’s your thoughts
Did your employer pay for you to get your BSN and are they going to pay for you to get your MSN? Most hospitals and long-term care facilities here in Virginia do pay for nurses and other employees to go get their education in nursing.
Thanks for the information Adam... You talked about doing your BSN program accelerated for 6months...Did I get that correctly?
Secondly, what are the steps to take in this direction?
Joseph Arkoful This is correct. I was able to obtain my BSN in 6 months. However, I had my RN prior.
@@adamdashawn Yeah I understood you clearly. So I can also get BSN within 6 months since I'm already an RN, is that correct?
Then, how do I go about this, what are the steps...And I forgot, I'm a new Sub...
Joseph Arkoful Hey Joseph, so I did the RN to BSN program at Western Governors University. This is an online university that allows you to move at your own pace. The next step is to apply to the university, after you apply, an enrollment counselor will take you the rest of the way.
@@adamdashawn Great... Thanks for the info. 🙏
What online course did you take for your bridge? I've been an LPN for 18 years.
Dawn Love I did LPN to RN at my local CC.
Thanks man Larry M Rothgeb BSN RN
This was soooo informative. Thank you so much!!! So, after going to a nursing school you become an LPN? and if you want to become an RN, you have to go to college and get into a program there correct?
christinaheaven many LPNs attend a technical college and some community colleges offer LPN programs. RNs have an associates degree or bachelors. All LPNs and RNs have attended a Nursing program one way or another.
Adam Price, BSN, RN I’m currently attending a community college and I was working towards my associates degree in nursing however the process is going slowly because I failed a couple general Ed courses so I won’t be getting into the program here until fall 2020 and graduating in 2022. (already been here until since fall 2017). So I was thinking of either transferring to a nursing school or going for my BSN at a university. I really don’t know what to do. My advisor said you become an LPN after nursing school and if I want to become an RN some day I would have to go back to school one day. I live in NY.
Adam Price, BSN, RN I don’t know what to do!!! It’s so stressful. I want to be an RN but I also want to get straight into the field. So from my understanding you went to a technical school or a community College to obtain your LPN and then went from there?
christinaheaven Yes, I went to a Technical school for LPN, Community College for RN (associates), and then University for BSN. NY and TN may have a lot of differences.
Adam Price, BSN, RN Okay that’s helpful, thank you for replying!!
Can you talk about the RN to BSN program you went thru
I already have. See my RN to BSN videos.
I have. See prior videos
I found them thanks, I will be starting in October, there is a great Facebook support group also.
Hi, which do you think is better, the LPN courses in Community colleges or the LPN courses in private schools? Can you give me some advice ? Thanks
Community colleges take two years to complete the LPN program, while private schools only need to pass ATI Teas text to enroll, taking as little as one year. I don’t know how to choose
Emma Cora Depends on your lifestyle. If you can buckle down and get it done in the one year program, which would probably be a more demanding program I’m sure, I would do that one. If you don’t want to be that overwhelmed than the 2 Year program would be better, plus the community college would probably be cheaper.
Adam Price, BSN, RN thank you ... the sooner the better☺️
I’m currently in a LPN program and plan on going for BSN after a graduate and that’s bcuz I plan to go for my masters to specialize in midwifery one day. So I’m taking it one day at a time.
Sallycorpes Best way to go! Good Luck
i kinda had the same trajectory, i worked as an LPN in LTC, got my RN and started workin at a hospital..but worked only 13 shifts a month so i worked eight hour PRN gigs on the side...nursing is a good career , just gotta know how to work your sched and continue pursuing more education so you can eventually do less physical work and more paper work:
i work in NYC:
LPN here is 60-65k - year new grad
RN here is about 90k-100k new grad
NP is 100k-120k new grad
I'm LPN as well in NY. Unfortunately I'm starting out with the Nursing home 😔😔 I need to learn how to make moves in this nursing world😄
Very informative, New subie
Question where did you do your bridge program?
Do you have online schools you recommend?
My associates was traditional classroom my Bachelors was online at Western Governors University
YAAAAS HUNTY!! Loved this informative video!!!
Good video
I notice you constantly refer to nurses as her instead of him or her. The nursing profession have lowered their standard with their dress clothes. Entering a hospital or Kaiser Permanente, one does not know who is a nurse. I've seen nurses wearing sneakers and their scrubs were wrinkled like they just got out of bed. Going back to the 70's and early 80's, all nurses wore white and a cap signifying what nursing school they graduate. Adam is correct, many hospitals will not hire LPN's. A few years ago when my mother was a patient at Duke University Medical Center, I met a LPN and she told me, the reason why she was still working at Duke because she had been there for 30 years, but Duke Medical Center no longer hired LPN's. Back in the 70's my aunt was the head nursing night supervisor at Howard University. Home girl was from the old school graduating from the old black Lincoln Hospital School of Nursing in the 40's which was a 3 year RN program. The sams applied to the old black Freedman's Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Carlos Bright Thanks for your input!
Carlos, great points. I lived in Massachusetts from 1982 to 1989. I started as a can. I went to lpn school and you had better be starched white with stockings and clean white shoes. I went to the VA hospital for a few years but if you wanted to work at Mass General, Brigham and Women's, Boston City, you needed to have at least an adn. Fast forward to today in North Carolina hospitals, you better have a bsn . They want you to have critical care skills. Every thing is so high tech now.
which computer system does your hospital work with? just really curious haha
Allallallay MEDITECH
Meditech
Great personaliy😁
He just so fine to me.... like that light skin off you got served... subscribed... ADN student 3 more semesters to go btw 😘

WTF is a 🐂 cotton 😂🤣😅😭😭😭
Hi, new subbie! I'm a LPN. Would you recommend LPN-RN bridge online? How long would you recommend before bridging. LPN for 7 months. Thnx🙂
Google User thanks darling. I can’t really recommend an LPN to RN bridge online program because I did mine at my local community college. However, I’ve heard good things about Excelsior. I hear they are expensive though. I think you should bridge whenever you feel ready.
Google User don’t go to Chamberlain. It has one of the worst NCLEX Pass rates of all. I know there is a college in Maryland. I’m not sure what state you live in, but there is a college in Maryland that offers an LPN to RN Program
Google User now I remember it’s Allegheny University in Maryland
@@montereyharris1277 Thanks, I live in Georgia. I also heard about Indiana State, have you heard of that program? Thanks so much for responding.
Hospitals are graded, and gets a better grade when nurses have higher degrees
Yaaaasss, Adam! Where the hell was I? Why am I just seeing this video? Glad to see you boo.😘
15:22 😂🤣😂 so adorable!!!
