I start the RN-MSN program this month. I'll let you know how it goes. It is pricey, but so far the customer service has been stellar. I began processing with the local brick and mortar university,...

Thanks msjchuck! Good points to consider!

I am definitely leaning towards ER, as it seems like a custom fit for my background. I don't really want to work with sick/injured kids, but I guess it comes with the territory! Thanks!

I am in need of a little guidance in my nursing career. I have been an RN for a few years, and have worked in a variety of settings (Med-Surg, Ortho, Rehab, Hospice). I was an LPN first, so I was...

I watched my father eat the diet as prescribed by the AHA, and he died at forty-five of a heart attack. I was on the same path. I was eating as the AHA recommends, and my labs were always horrible....

I really enjoyed LTC, but have recently switched to hopsice. So far I love it! I get to go to all the LTC facilities still, but get to leave when the fecal matter strikes the oscillating device!

I'm allergic to the 9th beer...it always makes me vomit...

Go Hospice!

I've been an LPN for a few years, and am not unaccustomed to leadership positions. Seems many of those positions are unwinnable from leadership standpoint. Hospice is the safer choice by...

Which option is better for a new RN grad? Either working for Hospice visiting facilities or working as a supervisor in a busy rehab/snf?

I have several years experience as an LPN, frequently thrown into the position of leadership. I just graduated with my ADN. I have been offered a RN supervisor job near my home. During the...

I graduated from LPN school in 10/08. Finished at the top of class, with zero difficulties or challenges. I have heard SO much rhetoric about how much "harder" the RN program is. I start the...

Excellent job!

I am sure you did great. I found that just paying attention in class, following the assigned readings, and researching subjects on my own prepared me well for the nclex. It seemed that most of my...

Thank you all, now off to RN.:spin:

Well I guess wine makes you smart because I passed! Thank you for all your support and kind words. Now...more wine! :)

Shut off at 85 questions, and went by very quickly.

Scheduled tomorrow morning @ 0800hrs. I am taking the unorthodox approach of drinking wine and hanging out with my dogs instead of studying tonight. I'll see what happens tomorrow! :smokin:

If memory serves, I believe former TUF member and current UFC fighter Rory Singer was a nursing student at the University of Georgia at Athens. He is also a former teammate/roommate of the current...

Your facility is crazy! Before switching to nursing, I worked as a cop for a long time and I have arrested numerous people right out of a hospital bed. All I needed was a sworn statement from the...

Ah....the voice of reason! I am doing my best, but sometimes these people act like they have secret recipe ice water. They simply don't understand that respect is something that is earned....not...

I think they mean well, and believe they are fabulous nurses; however, it seems they are happier with students with little knowledge, life experience and inquisitive nature. Don't quite get it, but...

I have been in LPN school now for 8 months, and have developed a question. Do all LPN instructors (who are RN's) have an incredibly horrible condescending attitude? It appears that most act like...

I start school in two weeks...I will not do drama...I do not do drama...I will keep you posted!

Those that think "if you break the law you must get a ticket...no matter what" don't seem to grasp the way that game is played. The best predictor of future behavior is pasts behavior. If your...
