1. Idaho students! Advise on Carrington college please!

   ashleebaby02 replied to alinkastar's topic in LPN-RN

   Well for instance none of my credits from my Lpn would count toward the RN program at any college except for excelsior and carrington. You are just more limited on where you can work, as an RN who graduated from carrington you aren't able to work at ...

   Carrington is approved by the board of nursing to test for RN licensure, however it is not accredited by the nursing accreditation such as nlnac (ace) or the other one ccne

3. Idaho students! Advise on Carrington college please!

   ashleebaby02 replied to alinkastar's topic in LPN-RN

   I am going through Idaho state university for my Lpn to RN. I went to carrington for my Lpn but the RN program is not accredited. I would say choose another program unless you want to work in LTC.

4. ICU pay differential?

   ashleebaby02 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical

   What about Med surg certified nurses? We run our butts off and deserve the same pay as anyone else.

6. Any specialty type LVN's ?? what's yours?

   ashleebaby02 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in LPN/LVN

   I got a job on a med/surg floor two years ago. I've learned how to do so much I've acquired some strong skills. I would suggest med/surg to any new nurse.

7. Why is Med-Surg so hated?

   ashleebaby02 replied to Nola009's topic in Med-Surg

   Med surg is definitely not an easy floor to work. Burn out is extremely high, if it werent for my amazing coworkers I don't think I would last much longer. Our patient load usually runs 1:4-5 usually with 3-4 discharges and 3-4 admits, surgeries, or...

8. 3rd shift nursing as a new nurse with no experience

   ashleebaby02 replied to LittleCandles's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think it's the best shift for a new nurse, you can take your time and there are still staff on if you have any questions, usually much more laid back. Esp. At a SNF

9. tips on finding a job

   ashleebaby02 replied to nanley138's topic in Job Hunt

   I applied literally everywhere. Got my first job about a month after I got my license at a SNF working PRN. It was definitely not ideal, I worked many double shifts, but about 3 months later I landed a job at the VA hospital on a med surg floor.

11. Online biology?

    ashleebaby02 replied to ashleebaby02's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would be taking the course through the school I'm hoping to attend for my RN so that shouldn't be an issue. I've taken many courses online and they do seem to be more work with research and the discussion board.

12. LVN OR STRAIGHT TO RN program as a single parent

    ashleebaby02 replied to Mscris's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am a mom of two and I definitely feel like getting my LPN first has set me back a bit time wise. It's definitely hard to work and try to gain that experience while still going to school for RN. The RNs where I work make about $10 more per hour than...

13. Online biology?

    ashleebaby02 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Has anyone taken biology 2 online? How was it? I have the option to take lecture and lab online, I just had a baby so the more time I can be at home the better. What about microbiology online? I have taken many classes online, but never a science one...

14. Which unit would be good for a RN with ADHD-inattentive to work on?

    ashleebaby02 replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in Career Support

    I have ADHD and work med surg. Sometimes I drive myself crazy with how distracted I can become, but I always manage to get everything done and on time.

15. Incompatible drips

    ashleebaby02 replied to cablefree's topic in MICU

    If a pharmacist who went for school for many more years than I said something isn't compatible as well as Micromedix, which is evidence based it's pretty obvious you should listen.
