Older "young" LPN needs advice
5 posts back to top |
Posted almost 2 years ago Need some advice. I got my LPN degree at age 57. Entered a new program in town here which was LPN to RN (Assoc deg) with no clinical experience required. 7 month course with semesters V and VI. Failed clinicals in semester VI, but stayed in for classroom education and assignments which, I believe, earned the respect of teachers, classmates, etc. I am able to repeat semester VI, however, school wants me to get clinical experience by working as an LPN in a hosp. I would be an entry level LPN. Only about 2 hosp use LPNs. If I am unable to get in to the hosp, what route would you recommend so that I can improve upon my skills? |

| Posted almost 2 years ago Dear CELESTONE, How about nursing homes within your area????? They're great places to keep your skills up-to-date and give tons of clinical experience!! True, hospitals will give you experience too, but nursing homes will give you more pt. interactions!!!!! You may want to try assisted living facilities,too!!! Hope my 2 cents helps, GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
