  6. Is nursing school really that hard?

    Yes, it is one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life. I finished my ADN then went right back for my BSN. Obviously, it was not horrible but, yes, difficult. I have not stopped getting certifications since either. I guess the educat...
  7. Oct VMI course in Vegas?

    I am so surprised at how few cards I have seen at the conference. I am sure it will be different in Orlando next year. Here's a funny story about my cards: I sent off for the business cards that said: I met you at the Las Vegas Seminar. Well, they, t...
  8. Oct VMI course in Vegas?

    Well we are here in Las Vegas. Today is Day Three of the Seminar. It is going well and it is a lot of work. I am studying a bit every night. I planned to write out more material last night but fell asleep with books all over my bed and the lights all...
  9. Skilled Nursing Facilities can be very, very hard work. Ask if you can shadow a Nurse for a couple of days. You will be amazed at how difficult it is to pass meds (including eye drops, nose sprays, and insulin's) with PRNs to 25 patients who may be a...
  10. How do you get all the readings done?

    Generally, read the material before the material gets covered in class. I remember skimming through the chapter, noting pictures and graphs and reading the conclusions at the end of the topics. Your syllabus should cover what you need to know. There ...

    Never ever break a contract unless there is a severe and unusual situation that would put your license in jeopardy.
  15. I cant find any parish nurses!

  21. PLLC or LLC when starting business?

    I am not familiar with PLLC. It depends on the State and what you have avialable. I would read the verbage for your State and see what applies. Also, look at what our competitor uses. I recently started connecting (again) with the local Chamber of Co...
