  1. LPN grads STARTING PAY $/HR

    chesara replied to raine84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I guess it all depends on where you live and the cost of living for your area. I live in Savannah, GA (not a very big city at all) and $12.50 sounds pretty good to me but I don't even know if they pay...

  2. How many of you worked as CNA's before you became LPN/LVN's???

    chesara replied to couldntbhappier's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks pagandeva2000 for clearing that up. I'm currently not anything in the healthcare field but have applied to the local tech school in the hopes of getting into the LPN program. They also offer...

  3. How many of you worked as CNA's before you became LPN/LVN's???

    chesara replied to couldntbhappier's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have a question - is a CNA and a Patient Care Tech the same thing? I looked at the job openings for one of the local hospitals and they had lots of openings for Patient Care Tech. Here's what the...

  4. CNA/LPN/RN Pay in Georgia?

    chesara replied to chesara's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks everyone for posting in here. It's helped me a lot. I'm still torn between starting as an LPN first or just going straight for my BSN. LilD, you've been a big help! To top it off, a job I...

  5. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    chesara replied to DigitalWanksta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school has A&P I and II this summer, both 4 weeks long. I heard though they won't let you sign up for both back to back (summer session is divided) in case you don't pass the first one. I think...

  6. Very Confused!

    chesara replied to jTank01's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking of skipping the LPN route and trying for the BSN. I have to take some pre-reqs first though and nervous about how I'll do in the A&P classes. I'd like to start some this summer so I...

  7. Very Confused!

    chesara replied to jTank01's topic in General Nursing

    This has been good information for me. I'd like to be an LPN but I'm really wanting to jumpstart my career into the medical profession and was thinking of doing CNA first since it's the shortest...

  8. Would you give away a semester's worth of notes???

    chesara replied to CiCigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is the route I'd take. Loaning them out for her to copy doesn't guarantee you'll get them back. I used to tell people my notes are hard to read and admitted that sometimes I zoned out and didn't...

  9. Anyone Squeamish?

    chesara replied to nursingasanart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad I found this thread. I'm hoping to start LPN school soon and have some of these same fears. Glad to know about the Vick's trick, I feel "in the know" now :chuckle I have a question - can you...

  10. Giving Shots

    chesara replied to swtypie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Giving shots was just about the only reason keeping me from pursuing my dream of going into nursing. I'm glad to know there are others who have been nervous about it. I came to the realization that...

  11. Savannah Tech anyone?

    chesara replied to summerdaze's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I just started pursuing the LPN program at Savannah Tech and had no idea there might be a waiting list. Today is Good Friday so the office is closed. I wonder if they allow some to move up on the list...

  12. Successful Non-Nursing Job

    chesara replied to pnurseuwm's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi, I'm brand new to the board (and healthcare) so I hope it's okay for a "newbie" to post. :wink2: I'm also the opposite - I'm looking to start a career in nursing but it's an eye-opener to hear from...

  13. lpn vs cardiac sonography

    chesara replied to lacnola's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have a four year degree in something else and looked into Radiography at the same college I graduated from. The advisor told me that some hospitals only have so many sonography positions open vs....

  14. LPN's please help

    chesara replied to Sophy123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi, I'm new to the boards. I've been struggling with "finding" myself for many years now and graduated with a Bachelor of General Studies last year. I originally went for teaching but decided that...
