1. LPN Wants a Student Nurse Position in Hospital

   lili718 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not sure where you live, but I wanted to do the same as well, but was told I would be unable to due to already having an LPN license. It's not a rule for the board of nursing where I live, but the facilities here feel as though it is a liability ...

2. WIA grants

   lili718 replied to amileslpn's topic in Alabama

   WIA payed for my LPN training. It didn't have anything to do with whether you are working or not, as I was working at the time and have never received unemployment, but it may vary in each state. I had Pell and WIA paid the difference and I did not g...

   lili718 replied to IfnotnowWhen's topic in General Nursing

   For my class we use Spanish for Healthcare by Patricia Rush/ Patricia Houston 2nd edition. The textbook works great for me as well as the online portion we have. It starts with the basics- Numbers, letters. Then moves on to getting history then to ac...

4. African Americans as nurses.

   lili718 replied to Daniel Floyd's topic in Relations

   I am saddened by some of the replies on here. Maybe it is a joke and maybe it is not, but it really is not that odd of a question. African Americans have come a long way, but to say that discrimination is not present anywhere, would not be true. Also...

   I am willing to help. I am an LPN. I'm not sure if you are able to use LPN's as well. I will finish my BSN in May.

6. Dr.'s orders for feedings/water

   lili718 replied to Akeos's topic in General Nursing

   Hello, I was reading the above posts and they all make sense, but I can tell you my particular situation. I also do homecare as an LPN and the parent makes all decisions as far as feeds, medications, etc based on reccomendations by the doctor of...

   lili718 replied to LeeyuhRae's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not sure about the GED portion, but for most school you have to take either ACT, SAT and for some schools both. You may also have to take the school's placement exams. Generally BSN programs are 4 years ( a year of prerequisite classes, then 3 ye...

9. Q for CNA'S waiting for RN positions

   lili718 replied to thekid's topic in General Nursing

   I am not sure about Hawaii, but in my state you are able to do that, but it depends on your facility. Some facilities will not allow someone to work below their license and others will. If it is not against the board of nursing's rules it will then b...

    lili718 replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    lili718 replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I saw posted on another site that everyone will get backdated pay from July due to an increase in funding and that it was changed from past years where students did have to be in class for at least 15 days... How this will work for past recipients I'...

14. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    lili718 replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sounds nice. At least it's clarified. I plan to send back my unsubsidized loans. On the federal site it say no fees/ interest will be charged if loans are sent back within 120 days. I'm up in the air about subsidized. Though, I wont do anything with ...
