1. CNAs doing things not under licensure?

   Jmas7 replied to student29349's topic in Safety

   It depends on a lot. Some states have different levels of CNAs, or in hospitals they might be trained as a Patient Care Tech, or they have special training on doing those particular things. It's not an uncommon thing.

   Hey, I had asked some of the places about this, and the NFLPN IV certification is the one they're talking about. You can find the info about it here: NFLPN Certification Programs

5. Life as a Navy nurse (pros and cons)

   Jmas7 replied to LilBigAl's topic in Government

   as Far as dual military goes, they make sure that one parent will always be home at all times, which may mean more time apart. But I don't think the navy nurses deploy enough for that to be much of an issue. My experience is with the usmc but both of...

   Jmas7 replied to luvmykidz's topic in West Virginia

   Did you graduate from a program in the area? Parkersburg seems to have a big big preference for WVUP graduates.

7. WVU RN-BSN program, how is it?

   Jmas7 replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in West Virginia

   I know a girl who did this program (and asked lots of questions because I intend to follow the same path!) and she said it was all online, she finished it in 2 years, and studied less for it than she did for her ADN. I believe it to be fully online, ...

8. Licensing in another state than where you went to school?

   Jmas7 replied to Jmas7's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hey, thank you for that! I contacted them again and you are right, it doesn't have to be the NLNAC as long as it is approved by the state board. Thank you so much :)

9. Licensing in another state than where you went to school?

   Jmas7 replied to Jmas7's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I just found out that WV only licenses graduates of accredited programs, and my school doesn't have its NLNAC accreditation. Should I apply in NC and transfer it? I don't know what to do now.

10. Licensing in another state than where you went to school?

    Jmas7 replied to Jmas7's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    So I still have my license in WV (due to my husband being military) and an address in WV, would that keep me from that having that waiting period?

11. Licensing in another state than where you went to school?

    Jmas7 posted a topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I am currently in an PN program at a school in North Carolina... we came here for the military and after graduation we have no intent of staying in North Carolina. Right now it's looking like we'll be moving back to WV where we are from, or Ohio. Nei...

12. New graduate LPNs: any luck finding jobs.

    Jmas7 replied to myperads's topic in North Carolina

    Yeah, I think it's a lot to do with the economy and everyone is having a hard time finding jobs. There are a lot of opportunities for LPNs in home health and LTC, and you could do that for a year and have enough experience to get a job at a hospital....

13. CNA 2 with Phlebotomy tech or Pharmacy tech?

    Jmas7 replied to SuBinCRNAtoBe's topic in North Carolina

    I know a lot of places are using CNA IIs instead of LPNs whenever possible to cut down on costs, since they can do a lot of the same things. and a lot of people in the Jville area get their CNAs to get points to get into a nursing program!

    Jmas7 replied to Jmas7's topic in Online Learning

    I already have Micro (as long as its a 3 credit hour and not a 4 credit hour one) and A&P (two different versions of it, one was 5 credit hours and the other was 4) from an NC Community College so I'm square on that! What are the Gen.Ed classes n...

15. Excelsior to BSN?

    Jmas7 posted a topic in Online Learning

    If I get my AAS from Excelsior, would I be able to start an RN to BSN from a traditional school? I always intended to start on my BSN online through UNC after getting my AAS, is this possible if I get the degree from Excelsior?
