hi y'all...i've been lurking on these boards for a while...started chipping away at nursing program pre-reqs five years ago...have been working as an LPN...hope to complete my last class for AD RN this fall - it's a clinical rotation at HCMC...i'm a student at MCTC and love aspects of that school and some of the prof's there...MN is great b'cos it's so easy - low costs of living; decent wages - if only winter started later and ended sooner it'd be purr-fect!

Hello fellow Minnesotans!

Originally from WI, but lived in MN my whole adult life. I call myself a Minnesotan, but I'm still a packer fan ;)

I live in the twin cities. Graduated from MCC (Minneapolis Community College) in 1995, the school changed its name to MCTC :) I also enjoyed the staff and my education there.

I worked in LTC when I first graduated, as at that time, there was a nursing surplus and all hospitals wanted 1-2 years exp, wow how things change :)

Then worked at Fairview Riverside in Tele, then worked at Vencore (THC), then HCMC in CCU for several years.

Back in Nursing school, I started up a nursing web page as a hobby and now it is allnurses.com ;) As the allnurses.com grew and I slowly began to cut back my hours at the hosp, and eventually, it demanded full time attention. So now, I work on allnurses.com full time and love it. Even though I have not worked in the clinical setting for some time, I still fill connected to the nursing world and feel that I have made some impact on nursing ;) I still keep my nursing license active and always will.

I also love this site, am here every day, although I don't post much, as I am working behind the scenes most of the time :uhoh3: trying to keep things running smoothly and continually looking for ways to improve allnurses.com!

also had a Great experience at the MPLS VA through two clinical rotations. Vets rock indeed. But working there required that one jump through quite a number of flaming hoops...it'd be worth jumping through them though...

I recently graduated from MSCTC and passed my boards in August. I got a job working in a transitional care unit in Alexandria as a charge nurse. I have been working for 3 weeks now and I love it! I love working in MN because the people are so nice (Especially in the rural area where I live).

Hello everyone!

This is my first post, I'm completely brand new to the site and hoping that it helps me in the time to come. I work in Brainerd at Good Samaritan Society. I've been a NA/R for almost 7 years and a TMA for 3 years. I start LPN school at CLC in one week! I can't wait! :-D

Hi. I live in Madison and we are looking to move to the Cities in the near future (probably NW suburbs).

I have worked as an RN for the past 4 years on a Surgical Intermediate Care Unit. We just built a new heart hospital and we moved to our new unit on Jan 2nd. LOVE the new unit!! :redbeathe However, not enough nursing comments were taken in setting up the functionality of the new unit. Especially for being a CVIMCU. Sorry sometimes asthetics needs to follow function.
