1. Nurse Finders/AMN Healthcare

   allthatshines replied to allthatshines's topic in Travel

   Thank you for your insight @NedRN. I have background experience working in an office so I do understand the business aspect, politics, and wearing different hats of it all but my frustration with their processes clouded my judgment and forgot that no...

2. Nurse Finders/AMN Healthcare

   allthatshines posted a topic in Travel

   Hello, I've been traveling for a year now and have worked with another agency. A friend recommended AMN/Nurse Finders. Does anyone else have such an unpleasant experience? They are so unresponsive but when you do hear from them, they're literal...

3. Failed NCLEX twice, any advice?

   allthatshines replied to VSLove's topic in NCLEX

   KEEP GOING! Keep changing your study habits around and ask for help when needed. When I had my test anxiety I invested and enrolled in a 12-week NCLEX review class. Mind you, it's not cheap but passing on first try was worth it. Good luck and please ...

4. No call no show, and feeling terrible about it!

   allthatshines replied to omha's topic in General Nursing

   Don't feel bad because we're all humans and humans make mistakes, even the most perfect ones have flaws. Last week I was called in to work one location of the company I work for as an LVN, got there 30 minutes early and wondered why my charge nurse d...

5. Paying for Pre-Reqs in Community College

   allthatshines replied to allthatshines's topic in LPN-RN

   I apologize for not wanting to post my whole life story for everyone to see because first of all my question ended with any helpful suggestions for scholarships or grants not FAFSA information, financial information, or personal information. The o...

7. Paying for Pre-Reqs in Community College

   allthatshines replied to allthatshines's topic in LPN-RN

   Sour Lemon, RN Thank you for saying that. Yes, I understand this as well but I wasn't asking for free money without working for it. That's why the question was if there are any GRANTS or SCHOLARSHIPS I can apply to. It was a simple question because I...

   allthatshines replied to allthatshines's topic in LPN-RN

   @verene THANK YOU. Finally, someone that makes sense and understands. I took your advice and dropped 6 units and just paid for what I could which are 2 classes. No, I am sending money because I need to and if I don't my dad doesn't get insulin or can...

   @Atl-Murse, BSN I'm not an entitled human being, sorry. I have strong family values. Delete your useless comment. Don't need it.

10. Paying for Pre-Reqs in Community College

    allthatshines replied to allthatshines's topic in LPN-RN

    @NightNerd Yes, the only benefit I have with them is I live here rent-free because I tried moving out and with high costs in CA for rent I was putting myself through LVN school full time and juggling 2 full time jobs. It almost took my life cause I f...

    allthatshines replied to allthatshines's topic in LPN-RN

    @ meanmaryjean, DNP, RN Sweetie, this was just a general story of my situation. I send money to my dying father in my country for his medical bills and I am independent. I pay for everything and I work 3 jobs right now. Unless you can be more compass...

    22 year old self-sufficient LVN here currently living with my parents that have a gross annual income of between 90k-100k per year but the thing is THEY DON'T PROVIDE FOR ME FINANCIALLY. I have a huge strained relationship with them and they have nev...

13. What's my title???

    allthatshines replied to allthatshines's topic in General Nursing

    @JustBeachyNurse OH MY GOSH. The 2nd paragraph you said made so much sense and literally blew my mind. I wish I asked the allnurses family before I submitted it, I just hope I can still turn it around with my financial aid rep at school. 3

14. What's my title???

    allthatshines replied to allthatshines's topic in General Nursing

    So even if I graduated LVN "college" it is not considered to be so since it is a vocational school, right? No wonder I got denied of all grants or anything at all, I received my FAFSA report yesterday. I am to attend a community college this Spring 2...
