Has anyone signed the contract for nurse residency and then quit? Or known anyone that has? Did they have to pay if so what do they send a bill in the mail?! My husbands job is relocating him and I may have to quit. I only get generic answers from HR...

any update?

I have only done the ATI predictor and Uworld normal tests so I am not familiar with how the predictors work. Is that 68% chance of passing or 68% as a general score on the test?

Would like to get some input on this position I was just offered. The company is called National Care Management and they are contracted by Humana. They want me to visit clients in home once a week. I can have up to 35 clients. They pay $180 per clie...

Is it ridiculous to try to may the May deadline for the FCCA if I start studying this week? Would mean testing every 3 wks or so. I have studied for LS1 before but I'm sure I will need refresher. I guess I'm asking if anyone has done it before? I hav...

I use both and prefer to read the text first in the books and feel it gives a more complete picture for better understanding. I bought my books on Amazon. Most were cheap as I don't buy the latest edition. SG101 is good to review and when I can't bri...

I just took this exam and it was not that bad. The practice exam had me very concerned and in fact I got a 50 and a 55 on it [emoji15]. The test however was much more basic. If u did a&p in LPN then I would go for the big test. I studied with jus...

I would suck it up and do the 6 credit HR test. It's a lot of material but I go back and review often and in the end it all kind of comes together all the systems working together that it is much easier than it seems

I have time lol. I guess I just don't want to kill myself trying to do it and not make it or worse fail and have to wait anyways lol

I have seen people post about using TCN or other publishing company study guides for these exams. I went to eBay and do not see anything that says what exam the study guide is for. Most seem to be textbooks(?) If you used a helpful study guide please...

68-70's is what I try to get before testing. Have only gotten one "C" and that was transitions and it's because I hated it and just wanted it over with lol

In my opinion I wouldn't do it. Unless you live very far from a testing center I'm not sure how much time that would even save you. The first few nursing exams I probably could have done 2 at a time because they were more review from LPN school. Also...

Also we get CEUs for the training

They claim it is taken care of in the flat rate of $45/HR. It's not a typical home care job so I'm just kind of skeptical as well! I can choose my clients so I can pick ( if there are any ) clients close to me

I just interviewed for the same position except different staffing. $45/hr flat rate no mileage or training pay. Following for responses.

I'm trying to workout a timeline to make sure I graduate before my 7 yrs are up. My question is how much time should I allot for completion of the FCCAs and then time to schedule and take the CPNE? The classes I can kinda estimate based of how many c...

I enrolled in 2011 so I do not have to take a & p and micro prior to nursing exams and I have completed all but ls1-3. So my question is should I take the nursing exams now and be eligible for FCCA and then CPNE and work on a&p and micro whil...

I feel like I heard back pretty fast but this was 5 yrs ago lol. They took all my credits that could apply

Early April of 2018. I have a&p,micro LS1-3 and then obviously FCCA AND CPNE.

I dont know how in demand LPN's are where you live but here they won't even look at your resume before you have a license in hand. I have a few classmates who got rejected and basically said come back when u have a license. My old job (LTC) they woul...

WOW... I should have moved out of state it looks like.... My program was 11 months long and a little over $20,000!! & that's average for around here where there is about 3-4 other programs 18-20k. Community college is cheaper but no LPN programs ...

Are you in clinicals right now? You will see the same common drugs in med pass over & over again. It would be most helpfull to you to become familiar with these drugs first. I went by drug then listed classification etc.. Its best to have a pract...

Yes leave before you are terminated. Saying you were fired sounds terrible and UGH its soooo hard to get a new job no matter how terrible the last job and how good of a nurse you are! I would not stop being a nurse! You know what you did wrong and no...

Why did you want to become a nurse? What are you best at/worst at What would you do in a emergency situation (ie someone falling, finding someone unconscious, possible broken hip)- have answers ready and do not hesitate at answering these questions. ...

I have been a nurse for about 2 yrs now and I can say I totally agree about 2nd shift ( i have worked em all!) and majority of your feelings on LTC. I have recently switched to working at an OB/GYN and find myself missing LTC sometimes though! haha. ...
