    OgopogoLPN replied to remrimsgems's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In my area, doctors office pay would by far be the lowest. Next lowest would be private nursing home/LTC. Publically funded nursing home/LTC might be slightly lower than what the hospital pays or...

    OgopogoLPN replied to jihyun0114's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  6. healthcare administration

    OgopogoLPN replied to ladymom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think they are just trying to get you into the school. I've never heard of having to do healthcare administration as a way of starting in nursing. I've done medical office work for over 11 years now...

    OgopogoLPN replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
