1. Direct entry Master of Science in Nursing programs

   VidyaNC replied to BABYJADE06's topic in General Nursing

   Just curious. I see that this thread was opened in 2011 and the last reply was in 2017. Now here I am in 2019! Since then, the direct entry-MSN may have been more acceptable?? I agree with the previous poster who stated that the direct entry rout...

2. Should I become an LVN and then continue to become an RN?

   VidyaNC replied to RockyRamona's topic in Career Support

   I am not there yet, a graduate nurse from school, but in my neck of the woods, NC, most hospitals have new graduate programs that hire new nursing graduates. Competitive? Sure. Impossible? No. I'd say if you are sure that you want to become an RN,...

3. How to begin working from home

   VidyaNC replied to twenzig1's topic in Career Support

   I am sorry, one more option. Depending on your background and writing skills, you might want to take up writing or medical writing. Start a blog about your experience, etc. or in your specialty and monetarize the site. Just a thought. I am done fo...

4. How to begin working from home

   VidyaNC replied to twenzig1's topic in Career Support

   I agree with the first poster, Google, something along the lines of, "part-time remote nursing jobs" or "part-time remote nonclinical nursing jobs." You can join flex jobs, search Indeed, etc. If you want to stay in academia, try to see if the univ...

5. Medication Tech count as experience

   VidyaNC posted a topic in General Students

   I understand that CNA experience will qualify as "pre-nursing" and clinical experience once a nursing student wants to land a job and has passed the boards and put CNA work on their resume. Or at least get their resume looked at and possibly be cons...

6. New Grad, New Baby, per diem?

   VidyaNC replied to Mamameema's topic in Career Support

   I hear you and congratulations :) I have two young ones myself and have searched a while for when the time comes, I would like to have a work/life balance. I can feel the thread lends more towards hospital nursing (minus poster #3 advice) and my be...

7. Nursing experience without being a CNA

   VidyaNC posted a topic in Career Support

   I will try to keep this short and sweet. I would like to know if it is possible or what ''avenues'' can one take to get 'nursing' experience without doing a job as a CNA. I have nothing against CNAs nor do I despise them, as I was one and got re-cer...

8. Online LPN -> BSN

   VidyaNC replied to VidyaNC's topic in Online Learning

   Thanks Just BeachyNurse! So far the last time I checked, NC state board of nursing accept some LPN to BSN program. ISU is one of them... I believe the skills will come once I get certified and start working as an LPN as I have some history as a C...

9. Online LPN -> BSN

   VidyaNC replied to VidyaNC's topic in Online Learning

   Thanks JustBeachy for clearing that up as I have heard on here in some forums that some LPNs were able to pass the NCLEX for LPNs and then turn around and sit for the NCLEX to become RNs.

10. Online LPN -> BSN

    VidyaNC posted a topic in Online Learning

    Long story short, has anyone completed an online LPN->BSN prgram? If so, where, tution, quality of program, pre-reqs, etc. So far, I have searched and have found Indiana state university and Walden ( I think I prefer Indiana State University). I...
