    Thanks everyone for leaving comments and giving personal experiences, this will definitely help me when finding a job!
  2. 8 or 12hr shifts?

    You brought up a lot of good points. Thank you so much! I agree with you when you mentioned how working 12 hour shifts reduces errors. Thanks for the tip about working two jobs while on 12hr shifts...it makes sense. Thanks!
  3. 8 or 12hr shifts?

    Thank you for your thoughts. I have heard a lot of good about the 12hour shifts but it's good to hear the other side of it as well. I'm glad you have it worked out to spend more time with your family!
  4. 8 or 12hr shifts?

    2 16s? WOW!!! that sounds like a long day and feet that ache! haha How did you do it? From what it sounds like from what you've said, twelves are nice for more days off, especially so you can have more of a life when your young. I bet you miss your...

    You can't go wrong with more days off from work huh? Thanks for your thoughts and congrats on passing the NCLEX on your grandchild's birthday!!!! :)
  6. 8 or 12hr shifts?

    That is a good thought, that if I work longer days then I will be able to have more time off to be involved with other things. It does sound like long days but several days off does sound refreshing!

  9. ADN vs BSN...is there much of a pay increase?

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments...they have been EXTREMELY useful!!! I think I am for sure going to get my BSN now! Do any of you know about any good BSN schools? Thanks!
  10. ADN vs BSN...is there much of a pay increase?

    That is interesting about the GPA. Congrats on your BSN though (no matter how long you have had it now)
  11. ADN vs BSN...is there much of a pay increase?

    You make a great point that there isn't much of a pay difference between ADN and BSN, but it could be if that is the deal breaker for getting hired or not. Thanks!
  12. Thanks! I would really like to work in the E.D. but I agree that if I work on the floor that i will get a better idea of the disease processes and will be able to experience a regular flow. It probably is better to gain the experience on the floor be...
  13. haha Thanks! That is sad but true!
  14. Difficulty transitioning from LPN to RN?

    That is just a great insight and I think that you might be on to something. Thanks for your thoughts!
  15. Difficulty transitioning from LPN to RN?

    I am not sure what school you are going to, but I know that for me it was helpful to brush up on medications and the disease processes. I struggled with the cardiac portion so these are just a few things I would brush up on. I hope that helps a littl...
