Here I will post about the LPN-RN journey.


1.The Application process... Submission will be on 1/30/12. Done

2.I need to score a 75 or above in Reading and a 75 or above in the Math on the HESIA2. Last time I scored a 98 on Reading and an 88 on Math. I hope I do the same or better this time. DONE I did BETTER in math improved to a 90

3.On the HESI-PN I scored a last time 1037... I needed to get at least an 850 to be eligible. Which my last score totally beat, but I hope to do better this time! I have been doing NCLEX RN questions and have been doing very well, especially in the analysis questions, so I hope that is a good sign. I would be pretty upset if it was a lower score. I am sure for Advanced Placement higher HESI scores get the spots. DONE I did BETTER 1052!

This was such an exciting and exhausting time in my life. I worked full time while completing this program as a Pediatric Home Health Nurse. As jobs go it was pretty easy to balance this with school, but I sure was tired! Many a day would include a full day of classes followed by a full night of work, only to turn around and do it again. But I am so glad that I completed it! It was sooo worth it. HARD but worth it!
