  4. Alternative RN jobs?? KY

    I have looked in the psych route, since it’s offered at the university here, and it is an option for me. Moving would be iffy but we did it would be TN or FL. I think the school here offers a DNP, I will look into that too. What all can you do with a...

    I have been looking into that. I didn’t really want to (my area is saturated since we have an university here) but my work is offering $2500 to pay towards tuition for a masters degree. I love paperwork and helping people

    I had a MD on June 24, 2019 (my second one actually) I had a 22mm herniation at my L5-S1. I am happy to say that I am working my full time nursing job in the ICU with minimal pain. Just keep up with your PT and don't stop stretching!

    Monday I take my NCLEX at 8am. I am a nervous wreck! Everyone keeps saying "oh don't worry, you will pass!" or "you passed RRT boards, you can pass the nclex", but snap, what if I don't?? I am using Kaplan Q Bank and Hurst Review (mostly the videos)....

  15. ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    Tutoring? Niiiiice! My program was not so forgiving. You had average a 77% on all exams before any assignments were counted towards your final grade. If you failed 2 check offs, you were done. If you failed a class, you are done. There was no tutorin...
  16. RRT to BSN =CRNA?

    Thank you for the replies!!! I will for sure have to retake the chemistry class then. I think the reason I did so bad in it was because I was taking 19 credit hours that semester and most of them were science related courses. I guess I was just too s...
