  1. Housing woes!

    dancechica replied to friendlylark's topic in Travel

    I feel ya on the cost of living, which is why I stayed in Vegas after graduating nursing school. I'm paying 800 per month for a 2 bd/2 ba condo and I make pretty much what they would pay someone in...

  2. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    dancechica replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Every situation is different. You say you're going to move back in with your parents to save money and pay back the loans faster, many people either wouldn't have that opportunity or just simply...

  3. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    dancechica replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    Depends what state you are in. I've lived in CA and MO and currently live in Nevada. Hospitals with magnet status require 80 percent of their nurses to have a BSN. I was looking for jobs in Southern...

  4. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    dancechica replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    No, I'm on the right one. If you look at number 4, it says "Are a licensed practical or vocational nurse", so that takes me out of the running. I don't see anything about being a licensed RN, so...

  6. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    dancechica replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    OP I don't know if this applies, but I just looked on the HRSA application and it says LPNs are ineligible, so you might not be either. It might be for pre-licensure BSN graduates and NPs only, so...

  7. I have 60 grand of student loan when I finished BSN

    dancechica replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I know how you feel. I'm graduating with my BSN from a private college in May and will have over 50000 in debt, myself. It's worth it, though, because I these days a BSB is pretty much required just...

  8. FNP to CRNA

    dancechica replied to cgfnp's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well for nurses like myself that are both interested in NP and CRNA, this would be a good option. Also it is a lot harder to find a job as a CRNA than it is as an

    dancechica replied to erniebobernie's topic in School, College Programs

  12. Starting salary for LPN new grad?

    dancechica posted a topic in General Nursing

  14. Does a degree from west coast university transfer to cal state?

    dancechica replied to wooosp's topic in California Nursing

    Totally! Why would they let you save money transferring to a State university for your BSN when you can spend 90,000 for their own

  15. Are LVNs having hard time finding jobs?

    dancechica replied to bectex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    10 working days? Ha! Here in CA it takes a minimum of 4 wks just to get your results, then another 3 wks to process your license. I sent them an e-mail after 5 wks asking if my letter was coming;...

    My school, Concorde Career College in Garden Grove, CA, is planning to start an LVN to RN bridge program in March that includes prereqs like Anatomy, Physio, Micro, etc... Does anyone know of any...

  17. LPN to RN bridge program that includes prereqs?

    dancechica replied to dancechica's topic in LPN to RN

    Unfortunately our program doesn't require Anatomy or Physiology so I have to take all the prerequisites, which will put me back about 2 yrs of part-time

  18. Snapped at a nurse student last night, she had a bad case of Nursitis

    dancechica replied to Tony1790's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As a nursing student, I feel embarrassed for that student that had the audacity to say 'that's the nurse aid's job'. I appreciate someone like you who is about caring for the patient. My hospital has...

  21. Graduating from VN school in CA but moving to NY

    dancechica posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    My situation is that I'm graduating from a VN school in Orange County, CA but I plan to move to NY right after. Should I just apply for the CA license and take the test then use that license to get...

  22. Relocating to NY

    dancechica replied to noviciate's topic in New York Nursing

    Another cheaper option is living in Jersey City across the river and commuting from there. My friend lives there and it seriously takes like 20 min to take the PATH train into the
