Just my thoughts
i was recently reinstated and booked into tpapn. The problem is I live in Oklahoma and the license is in Texas. However I also have an associate degree in healthcare administration. Since the two are closely connected I think nursing homes are scared to hire me as an assistant.
I decided to turn my attention back to a new field of study since I can transfer 75% of my administration degree into an associate in paralegal. There is no licensing in paralegal so it feels like a decent deal in order to have a well paying job and means to place me back in Texas to get started on tpapn. I can also get 25% of life credit toward the degree also and I think nursing would count.
Thats is all I can figure into starting up with tpapn and blasting off on their ride.
did anyone else ever find different jobs in this process.
One facility did offer me an interview at15$ an hour job as a medical technician. But I think the new field may be my best bet.
i even looked into anything international with paralegals and they can even get sponsored in the uk. Not lvn just in Ireland with the adn.
i find it hard to support a program that does not offer a transition back into nursing other then be ready to pay up. I would rather overcome this with at least a degree paying job.
thanks
* I can agree with all of tpapn except not allowing to be able to work from the beginning. I think a dr clearance should be enough and wouldn't mind the rest of it but after reading some of these terribly sad post I feel I am better off with more education in another field. I did learn it's a privilege to be the nurse not an entitlement.
Thanks for the replies and helping me answer questions
Administrator Assistant positions start with a GED or Highschool education
