4. Hinds waiting list.

   johnemmons replied to ~KelRN~'s topic in Mississippi

   I don't see why you wouldn't do RN? LPN's are becoming harder to find jobs. My mom is a Nurse manager over at St. Dominics and I told her about this LPN-to-RN transition thing and she told me, "No, no way in hell your going to do that. It's not the...

   johnemmons replied to Carafaith's topic in Mississippi

   Was it hard for you to get in at all? I heard it was competitive. But what happens if I keep applying year after year and never get into a nursing program. Am I supposed to just keep working the bad jobs and still apply?

10. My Nclex Experience.

    johnemmons replied to Quiskeya's topic in NCLEX

    Aww this was a tremendous story. I felt the emotions, the anxiousness, it was all like a bitter sweet movie playing in my head. My mother passed hers first time as well as everyone else I know. I think this is why I think I will pass as well.

13. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    johnemmons replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students
