OK, I am currently in an ADN program. Specifically, a Transition ADN (I'm an LPN). I plan to do the ADN-BSN afterwards, and the only University in my area only offers their ADN-BSN as an online class. So, I have had 1 year of PN school, 1.5 years of ...

Just got my acceptance letter!!!!!! i start august 30 2011!!!!:w00t::yelclap:

Same here, I am all set to apply in September! A friend of mine just got into the Fall'10 program, she says her first semester will be tues/wed about 7-4 then the rest online. I guess we can only expect the same but evening times for Spring? I am so ...

LOL! I was just logging in to this section to write a similar post.. I have been MDS/PPS/Care Plan Coordinator for over 6 months now, and just MDS for about a year before that. I am starting my last week of resignation tomorrow. I have been doin...

Well, let me tell you about the genius that is my LTC... I work on the "sub acute" / rehab / Medicare unit. These people are younger, yet their conditions, recent surgeries, unstable pain/labs require more critical thinking, not counting the indivi...

...Are you trying to say they're dumbed down? I am an Licensed Practical Nurse,I usually just refer to myself as nurse, but will clarify when prompted further. I have been a Hospital nurse up until recently. I work side by side with RN's. I understa...

Hi Shelinea, I came across this thread just now, looks like it was posted a few months back, but no one replied. There is PLENTY of work for LPN's in Volusia County, LTC agency, homecare etc. And with your acute skills, you wouldn't be hard pres...

I live in Central Florida, I am an LPN, with ACLS and all IV certifications... I work full time in a PCU unit, and I make.... wait for it.. $13/hr. But with an Agency I make $20-24/hr.

So, may I ask, if u do not recommend AM, because their pay is low, and you were/are a recruiter, who should an LPN go to for Travel Oppurtunities? I am very interested in Traveling while waiting on entrance to a bridge program.

Well, that settles it, then. i will keep working as an LPN and get my BSN through UCF as originially planned and forget about EC. i don't want to be limited to as where I can and can not work.

What about if I get my ASN through EC, but my BSN through a University? I am gonna call the CA BON and find out, because if I have supplemental education other than EC, that should be fine.

I don't like that at all.

Hey, I am in Deland and am gonna start EC after my English Lit Class is over at Daytona Beach Community College. How are you liking EC? I am scared to do it, but I just can't wait to go traditional.

So, I am confused.....say I do EC and graduate, take my boards in Florida where they are recognized. Now I want to travel and take a job in Cali, will I be considered an RN there?:uhoh21:

aaaw, shucks, thanks guys!

well, the $390 was worth it, I passed!

Call Barbara Hinebaugh, she is head HR, or talk to Fayna the nurse recruiter... I have heard that we have an excellent cardiac program, I am in med-surg, but I have friends that work in CICU and open heart, and they love it. And my boyfriend does Rea...

I passed

well, I am anxiously awaiting my results, took the NCLEX on thursday... we had to pay $390!!!!! I only got about 90 questions on the PN test....so, i dunno what that means, or if it means anything at all....

You think so!?!?!? the proctor asked me how I think i did, and I said, "I don't feel so good about it." and then she said, "well, you'd be surprised....... a lot of people say that and they pass"

Hey just graduated dbcc LPN in december 05, I am working on my pre-req's to start the BSN at UCF here in Daytona around 2007...

Hey! I grew up in New Smyrna and work at Halifax.... I like Halifax, it has many areas to work in...their website is halifax.org... New Smyrna is a VERY laid back town...but eventhough it is a small city, mostly anything you need is within a half hou...
