1. Help, want to escape from nursing

   studentinnursing replied to crumbsRN's topic in Career Support

   Medical transcription. Work at home. Paid on production, by the line, about 0.08 per 66 characters. You only make about $300-500/wk (cake hours and proofreading; some don't worry about quality and just blaze through and always made more than I did...

2. Can I sit for Boards? 7 days from graduation, dropped

   studentinnursing replied to studentinnursing's topic in NCLEX

   I can't be a nurse; no it's not temporary, but it's not this bad all the time. I still want to get my degree and the credentials that I just worked for, for 4 years; wouldn't you?! And I can do other things with an ASN, RN, after my name, when doc...

3. Can I sit for Boards? 7 days from graduation, dropped

   studentinnursing replied to studentinnursing's topic in NCLEX

   Actually, close works with medical documentation too. Thanks for the replies. I'm all set, and it does depend on situation, school, etc., because we had a couple of people who missed clinical hours because of medical reasons not, not pass because o...

4. Career Change needed due health reasons....please help

   studentinnursing replied to Elizabeth138's topic in Career Support

   Unfortunately, I had private insurance, not through an employer, paid by my grandfather before he passed away, and another family member kept it going until this month--I'm on my own now kinda thing. Right, what I was counting on is having a job as ...

5. Career Change needed due health reasons....please help

   studentinnursing replied to Elizabeth138's topic in Career Support

   Wow, we have so much in common, and Elizabeth138--that is exactly how I felt when I worked last summer and basically was worried I might not get a job in the future if I had one more day where I felt like I did at work; funny how a patient can see ho...

6. Career Change needed due health reasons....please help

   studentinnursing replied to Elizabeth138's topic in Career Support

   OMG. I just, at 38, after our second baby, started school. Divorced him during nursing school. No help or child support. Moving every 3-4 months if I couldn't pay rent or, like me having no luck, the landlord decides they are moving in or....just...

7. Can I sit for Boards? 7 days from graduation, dropped

   studentinnursing replied to studentinnursing's topic in NCLEX

   My income for this year, with 2 children, is less than $100. Obviously I had to have school loans to take care of 2 children by myself. I haven't felt like this the whole time; this just started happening a month, month and a half before graduation...

8. Can I sit for Boards? 7 days from graduation, dropped

   studentinnursing replied to studentinnursing's topic in NCLEX

   How about diploma programs? There is no nursing degree to be had and students sit for NCLEX-RN? I could have sat for NCLEX-PN last semester, so I'd rather make up my one "I" in management than sit for PN. With medical documentation (once they frea...

   studentinnursing replied to studentinnursing's topic in NCLEX

   Yes, if/when I'm out of bed working I make the money; no, I have no money when I can't get out of bed. You have to get up and work, can't work from bed.

10. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    studentinnursing replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN-RN

    If you do LPN first, you will still have to do 3 of 4 semesters of the RN program in any school I have checked out; I am in Florida. So being an LPN only lets you "skip" first semester of an ADN/ASN/Associate of Science in Nursing in this state. Ho...

11. Can I sit for Boards? 7 days from graduation, dropped

    studentinnursing posted a topic in NCLEX

    I have had a medical issue come up, with just 70 hours (and 2 journal entries) of my internship, which is 1 class of the 3 separate classes of my last semester of my Associate of Science in Nursing. I have completed the other 2 classes, and we have ...

12. Excelsior Nursing Program?

    studentinnursing replied to RelentlessOne's topic in Excelsior

    Check with both schools....if you have your LPN license, you then will still have to do 3 semesters of an RN program....I almost had to drop last semester and called Excelsior. Even though I learned all the material in an RN program (as they say RN ...

13. I got a JOB!

    studentinnursing replied to mama.RN's topic in Job Hunt

    I am sorry if I missed this info somewhere: Are you a new grad, it looks like yes since you mentioned "after graduation" but I wondered if you had any experience as a CNA or LPN before you graduated Nursing school? And I was going to ask more about ...

    studentinnursing replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN-RN

15. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    studentinnursing replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN-RN

    First, you don't have to pay for school until you graduate. No matter if it is hrants or loans. School will pay for itself. Call yours local community college. Talk to ank advisor. Call a couple private schools. You wouldn't believe what we are...
