  1. BSN vs. RN Salary

    busylizzy posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    Hi! I got a lot of information about RN salaries from another thread. What it seems to be, is that around the Bham area, starting salaries are at about $18/hr. My question is, to any of you that...

  3. Anyone from JACKSONVILE???

    busylizzy posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    I just started the BSN at Jacksonville. I'm just wondering if any of you are there, too? So far, I LOVE IT! (Now....you have to remember this was the 1st

  4. Anyone from JACKSONVILE???

    busylizzy replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I was in the BSN program. And I absolutely loved it. As far as what to expect, everyone's different. I only went to class half the time, studied by the powerpoints & did fine. Some people...

  5. LPN OR RN

    busylizzy replied to soladylike1's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Definitely RN, but in this economy, I honestly don't think it matters. At least a doctor's office or nursing homes wants LPN's (cheaper to hire); they're not interested in RN's, and right now...

    I'm interested in the Bham hospitals (namely UAB & StV), if you work there & you had loans, do they pay them? How does this work?

  9. Yeah Or Neah???

    busylizzy posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    busylizzy replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Yes, this is true about St. V & JeffState (I talked to the woman at JeffState). I'm not sure when this starts. She said that it is more for working people because it is only part-time. The...
