I have worked in corrections for over a year and this is what I have found to be true. First and foremost, keep your officers on your side. You ALWAYS need to be able to trust your officers in...

I too was considering accepting a full time position at my job. It's 12 hour shifts but it's a rotating schedule. So there are days that I will have to work 7p-7a and then either go to class or...

I am doing this because it's a personal thing for me. My husband has a terminal illness and I know that I am going to have to support my 2 kids on my own one day. I don't care about the money...

Not to mention... you can make pretty good money as an lpn as well... I make no less than $23 hr. with the agency that I work for. :) I am sure that is well over what you make as a PCT.

If you are an "average" student, then it might benefit you to go through LPN school first. As an LPN you can get the skills and work while you do the bridge program. It's easier to get into the...

If you already spoke previously to the coordinator regarding this matter, then I think that it is appropriate that you mention something to her now. I would not wait though... I mean, a 3.5 hour...

Unless you really know your A&P, I would not challenge it. You really use your A&P a lot in nursing, so I would opt to just take the class. If you are confident enough to challenge it, then you...

Well... I did fail nursing school. I had one term left and would have been on my way to preceptorship. It was cardiac. One point took me. I repeated the class and failed again by 2 points. I was...

I am so happy that you have found your dream job! I too, work in public health. What division do you work and for what state? I work in School Health as a school nurse and I too love it. It's a...

Thanks for the tip DonaldJ. I have thought about it and I might go on there part time to start off with before I quit the job that I have now as a school nurse. That way if I don't like it, I can...

I just took the NCLEX-PN and was there for 4 hours, had 168 questions. It was the most horrible exam of my life. But one thing that I took away from that test. You have to know your facts and if...

The BSN is really a formality. I mean, in the working world, they don't get paid much more than an RN without a BSN. If you are planning on getting your masters in nursing, then by far, do the BSN....

Interesting DonaldJ... I was offered a job at our county jail. I am a new LPN but have been in nursing for 17 years. Currently I work in school health and I love it. But, my husband is very ill, I...

Have you done research in your area about the kind of jobs that are out there for you? I am thinking more like physician's offices or clinics. Im not saying that it's easy to get out there. The...

Well, if you are that worried about it, cut it to get the job. I mean, it's just hair. It will grow back. Me personally, I love long hair on a guy. My hubby has long hair as does my son. We have...

Hey, I just wanted to say good luck again. Are you going straight through RN school or doing career mobility?

Thanks! LOL! Actually, I wasn't going to check the site. My best friend went with me and we took it together. She called me and told me to check it that the results were in. I was just glad it...

christih: The HESI exam is what has to be passed to get on the waiting list, the nclex is the state board exam that when you pass you are a licensed nurse to practice. I am happy that you are on...

Took the NCLEX-PN on Nov. 4th, had results from Pearson by the 7th and a license number by the 8th. You can go to the BON site and do a license search by your name and if you passed your name will...

Yes, she is in Pensacola... I will send you the info. You need to contact her by the end of the week though. A class is fixin' to start.

You can go to your states medical website and do a license verification. Type in your name and where you live and it will come up if they have assigned your license number yet. I took my NCLEX on...

Whoa there... passing the NLN and passing the NCLEX are two different things. NCLEX is unlike any other test that you will ever take. (With the exception of the NCLEX-RN) I just took the NCLEX-PN...

Well, I tried to message you with the information on a lady that does it. She's getting a class together right now. It's 5 weeks, self study, you get together on the first and last day, do the post...

Got the ATT in my email and I am scheduled to sit for LPN boards on Nov. 4th, 2010. Praying that I will pass this thing... supposed to go on to get my RN next summer through the LPN to RN career...

Not yet in the program. I went through the RN program and failed out because I took Adults 2 twice and didnt' pass by just a couple points. It was heartbreaking. I am taking my NCLEX for LPN...
