Hi everyone, I've been perusing the boards for a few weeks now trying to get some info on Wake Tech's advanced placement program. I've found a couple people break down the points (thanks by the...

Yes you can in the state of NC, according to the BON. You might have missed that in my post. I'm just wondering if hospital recruiters/HR will actually HIRE a nurse who wants to "work down".

Hi! I'm an LPN new to the area, still looking for work in the field while I go back to school. My background is in mental health, so I'm signing up for some classes to refresh my clinical skills...

Thanks I checked them out, didn't see much coming up that was hands on but I also found the NCAHEC website and they list courses (online, practice based, blended) all over the state, so I'm going to...

Hi all! I'm still pretty new to the RDU area (relocated here 4 months ago) and researching EVERYTHING I can get my hands on about the nursing industry down here. I'm originally from the Philadelphia...

Anyone in NCCU's BSN program now? Any words of advice, experiences??

Thanks to everyone that replied and for the hugs :-). For focusedvalpn and Sensoria17, yes I've searched the forums and scoured the BON website. And as far as jobs that don't require phlebotomy, I've...

Hi everyone, I'm gonna try to make this long story short. I'm really frustrated right now. I got my LPN license in 2008, got a job at a state mental health facility and worked there for 8 months...

Hi Hospice Nurse! No I don't plan on staying in psych. I need more hands on then psych is able to provide, although I'd like to work in an eating disorders setting like Renfrew Center. And I'm not...

Hi everyone! I'm ready to go back to college soon and finish my bachelor's degree, but I have a few questions about the LPN-ADN/BSN route. Let me give you guys some background info about me first. I...

I'm sorry, what are you referring to?

I was in agreeance with your post abt McDonalds but then, I can only speak for me MedicineCNS.

With the McDonalds example, I think the point here is that if a person loves what they do and seeks to develop professionally in whatever it is they do, then it is no longer "just a job". "Just a...

Reading the posts here on nursing "just being a job", it seems that (and I hope I don't get flamed for this, lol) many of the male nurses don't have the same emotional attachment to the job that...

Hi LilaOR, Well some of it came from posts I've read online on various nursing sites. Other comments came from an instructor here or there when I was in school. I actually had a clinical...

Oramar, I am laughing so hard right now! Maybe the guy was being sarcastic (I hope so for his sake). Hahahahaha, I'm still trying to catch my breath :rotfl: !!!

I agree with you 1000%. All that you thought about, I also had to consider because I knew there was "dirty work" involved. And I agree, no one should enter this profession with little to NO desire to...

Jlcole45, I think you misunderstood when I said some only want to go for administrative work. I have no issue with that at all and am glad that there are nurses who want to do it. I've worked for a...

Thanks cookienay!!

Jlcole45, thanks for your response! I was very much aware of the salary differences between RN & LPN when I considered nursing school. My aunt has been an RN for about six years and lives quite...
