   QTRN74 replied to whyldlife's topic in Post Graduate

   Thank you all for your responses. How did you go about finding your clinical site? I am going for nurse educator so I am assuming I would need to teach. We just moved to a new state and I unfortunately have no connections here.

   I am starting the online MSN program at South University next month . All I can hope for is it to be uneventful. I am nervous about doing the whole thing "online"...not exactly sure how the clinical portion works yet...

7. Getting a VA license via "endorsement"

   QTRN74 posted a topic in Virginia

   Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has gotten a Virginia license via endorsement online. I moved here from IL and looked up how to do it and am not sure if I did it right. I paid the fee, filled out a few questions, and was told it is "pending". Now, i...

   Hi there, I just relocated to VA, but from IL. I just started the process to obtain a VA license. Did you do this already? Or are you a part of the "compact" states? If not, did you get your VA license yet? I ask this because it looks like you c...

12. LPN in Illinois...give it to us straight...is it worth it?

    QTRN74 replied to CarreBarreLPN's topic in Illinois

    I definitely think LPN is the way to go if you are interested in the medical field. Due to lack of trained instructors, colleges are turning away students who otherwise would be admitted into an RN program. Get some experience and start taking care...

13. Navy Nursing and Work Environment

    QTRN74 replied to skwatson's topic in Government

    It is actually better in some cases. When I looked into it I found they were more accomadating to new grads...plus in some areas the pay is actually higher because you are an "Officer". :) If my husband wasn't already in it and we didn't have three...
