  1. What is the workload like in RN-BSN programs?

    LPN1118 replied to MercedesC's topic in Online Distance Learning

    With my Statistics class, we had a few articles we had to chose from for our papers so we were limited but we didn't have to put thought into it for choices. I managed to pass with a 91 without...

  2. What is the workload like in RN-BSN programs?

    LPN1118 replied to MercedesC's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm taking the RN-BSN course with SNHU. So far, I'm on my 3rd class- 1st nursing class right now. No tests so far - mostly discussions and papers. The courses are 8 weeks long and I have an 8-12 page...

  3. How long does a call back take?

    LPN1118 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated in June and got my RN license in August. I just started submitting my resume to companies this week but I am wondering how long after sending it out is the average time to get a call from...

  4. What day does night shift start?

    LPN1118 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if this is an odd question or not. If the job posting is for 8 hours on Friday 11-7, I'm assuming it starts Friday night at 11PM and goes to Saturday. There's only 1 actual hour worked on...

  5. Student loans for off campus housing?

    LPN1118 replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stay living at home. It may be a bummer now but excess loans are NOT fun! I worked full time while in school but pay for my apartment and support my kids. I would overborrow just so I had extra money...

  6. I want to be a nurse but im not good at math

    LPN1118 replied to wizardwendy's topic in General Nursing

    I was a "C" student in high school and hated math. After graduation I just worked some regular jobs before going back to college a few years ago. I failed math the first time. It was an online class...

  7. New Grad RN: Struggling With Finding a Job

    LPN1118 replied to nurse_bri's topic in General Nursing

    You're not too far away from CT - is it possible you can apply for your RN license here? I don't believe you have to retake the NCLEX. There are a few hospitals near the border like Greenwich,...

  8. 2 full-time jobs?

    LPN1118 replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    Are you able to work full time while going to school? I know here in CT after you pass a nursing class or 2, you can take the state exam for CNA. IF you can get a full time CNA job somewhere, maybe...

  9. Do you renew both LPN and RN licenses?

    LPN1118 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I bridged into the RN program as an LPN. I received my RN license last month and it will expire in November as well as my LPN license expiring the same time. I haven't found a RN job yet so I will...

  10. 2 full-time jobs?

    LPN1118 replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    If you really need a second job - a Baylor position would be good to help pay debts. You work 24 hours and get paid for 32. The exact hours may vary but you get paid for more hours than you

  11. Do you renew both LPN and RN licenses?

    LPN1118 replied to LPN1118's topic in General Nursing

    That a bummer. Kinda puts more pressure on me to find a new job within the next 2

  12. Taking NCLEX-RN tomorrow!

    LPN1118 replied to Smith1283's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think anyone walks away from the NLEX feeling good. I felt like I guessed at a majority of the questions. I had 77 and about 1/3 were SATA. Only 3 were pharm and by some miracle I knew the...

  13. Do you renew both LPN and RN licenses?

    LPN1118 replied to LPN1118's topic in General Nursing

    Right now Im still working as an LPN and I will still need that license if Im not lucky enough to have a new job by the time December rolls around. That's the main reason I would still renew it this...

  14. Job Search

    LPN1118 replied to nerdynurse7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm kind of in the same boat but in CT. I look up jobs on liquidcompass.com. There's a box you can check off for new grad exact to see a list of jobs for new nurses. Our career counselor at school...

  15. How long does a call back take?

    LPN1118 replied to LPN1118's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I get so nervous with interviews so the practice will really help while Im waiting. The wait for an interview is worse than the wait for NCLEX

  16. Misuse of the ER

    LPN1118 replied to ShortFuse's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in the waiting room with a family member who legitimately needed to be there. A family was also there and seemed pretty relaxed and laughing and hanging out. After a while, they had a pizza...

  17. How long does a call back take?

    LPN1118 replied to LPN1118's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks. I've been getting a little discouraged after not hearing anything after a few

  18. NCLEX, 4th attempt, passed with 76 Q's

    LPN1118 replied to Alexa101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! I took the NCLEX last week and it shut off at 77 questions and I was convinced that I failed but I passed! I focused on doing Uworld questions and reading the rationales. I also took...

  19. Pregnant in nursing school

    LPN1118 replied to AMJ17's topic in General Students

    If you will be in clinical, you may be bending and lifting patients which may not be advised after childbirth - especially a C-section. God forbid there's any issues with your health or your babys...

  20. Time Management

    LPN1118 replied to jphill15's topic in General Students

    I didn't realize their were nursing podcasts but I will be checking them out. I record my professors lectures and listen to them while Im driving to get some studying time

  21. Starting school in late twenties

    LPN1118 replied to Naturetrekker73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on considering going back! I think that when you go back after being out of school for a few years, that you have more maturity and can prioritize and focus better. I went back in my late...

  22. Baby vs no baby... help!

    LPN1118 replied to Abby_3191's topic in General Students

    not every pregnancy goes smooth. There's always a chance that complications can occur and you can be on bed rest. You need to dedicate a lot of time to focusing and studying and having a newborn would...

  23. A Sign From God?

    LPN1118 replied to NurseMT_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to memorize all of the songs to my New Kids on the Block albums within days of buying them. Does this mean I can become a member of the band

  24. Amazon Textbook Rentals?

    LPN1118 replied to longwayup's topic in General Students

    I only rented from Amazon one time and unfortunately my school had the wrong books listed so I had to return these. I received the books quickly and was super easy to return and I got all of my money...

  25. Want to pursue nursing, scared and even a little hopeless

    LPN1118 replied to Zosorose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I decided to go to college for my ADN in my 30's and because it had been more than 5 years since graduating high school, I had to take extra classes. Plus I didn't do good on the accuplacer testing so...
