2. what kind of jobs does a RN do

   Anjewels replied to pritampaulsingh's topic in General Nursing

   Are you sure that perhaps you shouldn't reexamine your desire to become a nurse? You don't give specifics, just say that you "have to" become an RN. Nursing is a field with a high burn out rate, and I'm afraid that if you are going into it because o...

3. Diff Between Mobility and Transition????

   Anjewels posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I was looking around at different College websites to determine which ones have an LVN to RN program. I'm really stumped in that one of the colleges offers both an LVN Mobility to RN and and LVN Transition to RN. What the heck is the difference betw...

4. Frustrated with LPN school

   Anjewels replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I can totally relate to the bed-making thing. That's what I had the most trouble with in LVN school. Do NOT let it get you down! It DOES NOT mean that you won't be a good nurse. Bed-making skills are important, so I'm not going to try to downplay...

5. Job offer please offer advice

   Anjewels replied to crystalclear's topic in LPN/LVN

   If you are referring to Baylor in Texas, and you are a brand new LPN, I think that it's a good offer! Wow! I became an LVN 12 years ago, and as a new LVN I only made $8.00 an hour.

6. Going Back and Resumes

   Anjewels posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   I posted previously about going back into Nursing after a long absence. I am working on doing all of the things that the TxBON has told me I will need to do to reactivate my license. I have applied for my temporary permit, and hopefully will be rec...

7. Would YOU ever have a homebirth?

   Anjewels replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Yep! I would have homebirthed if DH would have been in agreement. Per our compromise, all 3 of my births were in the hospital but with a CNM attending. No interventions. It was actually my L & D Clinicals while going thru LVN school that...

8. Medical transcription

   Anjewels replied to NurseCard's topic in Career Support

   I did alot of research into Med. Transcription and Medical Billing/Coding before I decided to just go back into nursing. I found that the very best online school for Transcription is The Andrews School. It's not the cheapest, not the most expensive...

9. Lpn Student Questions???? Help

   Anjewels replied to studentLPN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Congratulations for making the decision to become an LVN! It may seem overwhelming at first, but hang in there! Remember when taking tests that 9 times out of 10, the correct answer is just common sense. Don't try to overthink it. Remember your ...

    Anjewels posted a topic in Home Health

    I'm looking at the possibility of doing QA for a Home Health Agency. Is there anyone here who can offer any pointers? What does your job entail? Does your employer pay you an hourly rate, or are you payed per case? Thanks!

11. LVN Pay in your Area???

    Anjewels replied to Anjewels's topic in LPN/LVN

    That's encouraging. When I left the field, the most I ever made was $ 11.75/hr in LTC!

12. LVN Pay in your Area???

    Anjewels posted a topic in LPN/LVN

    I'm curious to see how much LVNs make across the country as I am returning to the field after a 6 - 7 year absence. When I left, LVNs in my area (Houston area) barely made pocket change. I've been pleasantly surprised to see the starting salary bei...

13. LPN refresher courses

    Anjewels replied to BWaterh's topic in LPN/LVN

    I myself am about to start an LVN Refresher Course after being gone from the field for several years. I was unable to find one that was wholly online. This is mainly due to there being a Clinical aspect to the refresher as someone else already menti...

    Anjewels replied to Anjewels's topic in General Nursing
