2. Ivy Tech - ATI Questions

   mommywifenurse29 replied to Fetzmommy's topic in Indiana

   I graduated last May from Lpn-RN. The Ati bundle is brand new but the cost is included in tuition. As for books, you don't have to buy brand new, many students borrowed or bought from previous nursing students. I liked to get the most updated version...

   mommywifenurse29 replied to dreamer30's topic in Indiana

   There are jobs in ltc but everybody wants a hospital job. I started in ltc, went to acute care and went back to ltc. Best decision I have ever made, no regrets. I'm a proud and happy long term care nurse!

4. Corinthian Colleges Calling It Quits

   mommywifenurse29 replied to caliotter3's topic in Headlines

   I am the first person in my family to graduate from high school and college. At my high school, they actually didn't do much directing on colleges at all. No guidance counselor helped me with college admissions at all. There was no discussion at home...

5. Wanting to come back to ltc

   mommywifenurse29 replied to mommywifenurse29's topic in Geriatric

   I know so many people are going to think I'm crazy. I complained about getting a job in a hospital and it was competitive to get in but my heart just isn't there. I worked ltc pharmacy for 4 years before going into ltc, I just think that is where I'm...

6. Wanting to come back to ltc

   mommywifenurse29 posted a topic in Geriatric

   I've been a LTC nurse for almost 4 years. I was one of the ones that thought if I got a job in a hospital that I would love it and everything would be perfect. Well, I did get a job in acute care on a med surg floor and I hate it! I mean I'm dreading...

10. How to get a job and where?????

    mommywifenurse29 replied to Britesmyle's topic in Job Hunt

    I've been on long term care for 4 years most of that spent as a LPN and I just became a RN (asn) in June. I honestly thought I was doomed and going to be stuck in long term care forever after several interviews and 100's of rejected apps. I just got ...

    Thank you so much for posting this! I tried to fight it when I initially signed up but it was too late and I was stuck. I pay it every month because I don't want it to affect my credit and my husband and I just bought a house. I will be filing a comp...

    A stupid expensive mistake at that.

13. The College Network

    mommywifenurse29 replied to Strength's topic in Indiana

    Honestly I've just written them off. I don't even know who to contact to get the manuals and I would probably get all angry at myself again for making a stupid mistake.

14. The College Network

    mommywifenurse29 replied to Strength's topic in Indiana

    I didn't know it wasn't a college and was fooled... I have about $2500 left on a school loan that I never used. Comes directly out of my bank account every month. Just read up on everything and if you want to cancel you have to do is ASAP or you are ...

15. Did you work while in LPN school?

    mommywifenurse29 replied to ajerm9's topic in LPN/LVN

    I also was on the deans list when I worked full time and completed nursing school. I believe it depends on the type of person you are. I have always worked hard and I knew I could maintain my great gpa and work.
