    DaniLPN2RN replied to smm1901's topic in Florida Nursing

  2. Help, am I doomed to LPN..are there any other choices??

    DaniLPN2RN replied to sunbug's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Have you thought about just retaking some of the courses that you didn't do as well in? Most schools will take the higher grade which will improve your GPA without taking classes that do not pertain...

  3. To Buy or Rent.. That is the question!

  4. is LPN a good choice?

    DaniLPN2RN replied to studentstorm's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with the above post. LPN is a good route and does often cut down on wait time to get into RN programs. However, because you are young, I would suggest going for your RN or BSN. Life does have...

  5. Tampa LPN Training

    DaniLPN2RN replied to SBChewning's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    DaniLPN2RN replied to LuvScrubs2's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

  8. Dream Job Offer - Horrible Pay Offer

    DaniLPN2RN posted a topic in Florida Nursing

  9. Dream Job Offer - Horrible Pay Offer

    DaniLPN2RN replied to DaniLPN2RN's topic in Florida Nursing

    DaniLPN2RN replied to DaniLPN2RN's topic in Florida Nursing

  14. education/experience requirements for DON/ADON

    DaniLPN2RN replied to shelbee1084's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I think someone with no floor experience as an nurse also has a hard time hiring. This is the case in my facility. Apparently, all you need to have is a piece of paper stating that you are a...

    DaniLPN2RN replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Dajulieness, are you a new nurse? LTC takes time to get used to. I started LTC as a new grad working weekends only. I'd say it took me a total of 3-6 months to really get the groove and feel...

    DaniLPN2RN replied to DaniLPN2RN's topic in Florida Nursing
