1. Help with paying for school

   Southern_Male_Nurse replied to laurawho7's topic in General Students

   Just out of curiosity, are you able to work any. Even for a say 10 or 20 hours a week? Would you be willing to work a nursing home (it doesn't have to be as a cna)? The reason I ask, is that there are alot of nursing homes that are willing to sign a ...

2. Third time not the charm

   Southern_Male_Nurse replied to wildcat28's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks Suzanne! I will definitely keep that in mind. I do want a license that I can move from state to state if need be. I plan on attending WVU School of Nursing to complete the BSN part. They are the closest in this area. U of MD is just too far.

3. Third time not the charm

   Southern_Male_Nurse replied to wildcat28's topic in NCLEX

   I don't wish to get off topic here, but to answer your question honestly - I am not sure. From what I was told by the WV BON you are able to transfer the license to other states that allow the same exemption. I will list a quote from the code, maybe ...

4. Question about BON, Pearson Vue, etc.

   Southern_Male_Nurse replied to NTPinky's topic in NCLEX

   When I took the lpn boards, I paid my state fee first, then waited for my letter to take the boards arrived. If you pay both at the same time, and if the BON doesn't approve your application, not only are you out of your states' application money (if...

5. Third time not the charm

   Southern_Male_Nurse replied to wildcat28's topic in NCLEX

   suzanne4 - I use to be a 91c (practical nurse). If you were trained by the Army, then you are qualified under West Virginia code 30-24-2 (Qualification for examination for license as a registered professional nurse) It is listed under the chapter, ...

6. Third time not the charm

   Southern_Male_Nurse replied to wildcat28's topic in NCLEX

   wildcat - I can feel for you. I really do. When I graduated from lpn school I was immediately shipped overseas. Due to my location, I was not allowed to take the nclex for 3 years after I graduated. naturally I failed not once, but twice. I practical...

7. Refresher Classes

   Southern_Male_Nurse replied to dcfashionista's topic in LPN/LVN

   I don't mean to misunderstand you, but are you getting mad at me? I hope not, for I personally encourage anyone to get a refresher on as much as possible. By the way, just out of curiousity - what part of the world are you in? I am just curious as to...

8. Refresher Classes

   Southern_Male_Nurse replied to dcfashionista's topic in LPN/LVN

   There are 2 parts to the course. The bookwork, and the clinicals. Like I mentioned previously, in the state of Maryland the refresher course is not required for those that have not taken or passed the NCLEX exam, no matter how long it has been. The c...

11. Anybody in the Army Reserve Nurse Corps?

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to jasonglh's topic in Government

    I was stationed at Ft. Sam twice in the 80s. Loved it. Out all of the places I have lived in the world, i consider that at the top of my list. Beautiful city! I just loved the River walk, especially during Christmas. The Alamo, was a little dissappoi...

12. Refresher Classes

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to dcfashionista's topic in LPN/LVN

    In Maryland, if you haven't taken the boards yet, all you have to do is reapply for the NCLEX. A refresher course w/clinicals is not required, for that class is to help reactivate your license. But if you never got one, you can't reactivate it. Like ...

    I don't want to make something sound negative in light of what has happen. Being from the lower Alabama (30 minutes from the coast and all), I wish my best to all of the areas destroyed. I however do have a couple of questions: Glascow: You stated, "...
