1. Waiting list at LCC

   helix122333 replied to nurseby07's topic in Washington

   LCC LPN-RN program is great. I did the online program and graduated last summer. I don't think the waiting list is too bad compare to other colleges. I would apply to on site and online if you are hoping to start asap. Hope this helps, :-)

2. Anyone in the Monroe area?

   helix122333 replied to thetravellertoplaces's topic in Washington

   I live in Monroe but work in Kirkland. I have friends that work at VG and they seem to love it. Stated that the pay is good, and THEY don't have to commute! Maybe I will talk to HR about a per-diem RN position too ;-)

   yes, a lot of retirees. There will be something for you, no worries. There are other nearby communities as well, so on the job front I wouldn't worry too much. Housing is another story! You can still can get some land for under 100 and build; which i...

   Beautiful! Sequim is a little better in my mind than Port Angeles. (Rains less than other WA areas; called the 'banana belt'). Schools are a little better in Sequim as well, it is a growing community with every thing you need. Home prices are high, ...

5. Nurse Esthetician

   helix122333 replied to tbrn's topic in General Nursing

   You would need to call/visit website, your nursing board. In the state of WA the answer would be yes. However, keep in mind that the Dermatologist and others that work in the comedic industry don't like DO's or dentist doing (or supervising) this typ...

   Hi BotoxLoverRN- It has been a while since my last post. Since then I too have obtained my RN (laddered up from a LPN). So I am working at two different places. One pays $32/hr no commissions or tips; the other pays 32/hr with 5% commission on everyt...

7. LPN to RN Lower Columbia College

   helix122333 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Washington

   I am currently enrolled. I love it! However, if you are going for the part time option be aware that it feels more like full time; very time consuming. The clinicals are in the summer, where there is a very very intense 2 months (*note* You have to ...

   HI- I am a nurse esthetician.... While you would be enormously more markable with a master's degree, it is not absolutely necessary. But Note! The Doc's have been pushing very very hard for regulation to stop RN's from performing Botox etc. even with...

   GardenDove is correct, they don't. I thought it was weird too....but there it is. :)

10. Washington State Requirements

    helix122333 replied to DeLySh's topic in Washington

    No, Washington state does not require a BA, in fact there really is no huge pay differences between the two. I am a LPN currently laddering up to RN (non-BA program).

11. Dermatology Nurse Practitioner

    helix122333 replied to dg1982's topic in NP

    I am taking an esthetician course. You don't need this of course however; it really helps if you want to work in plastic surgery or dermatology offices! Your pay increases b/c you handle not only the nursing aspect but also can do micro-derms exedra....
