I have an MSN in Informatics I’ve never used but would love to. Any tips or suggestions in landing a job??

Did you start? How is it going?

Any hospitals hiring right now there??

What an old thread resurrected from the dead.lol I commented on this YEARS ago. Anyway, I had a bachelors in another field and Excelsior College took my BA and my Associates in Nursing. I obtained an MSN from Excelsior College in 2015; NO BSN and honestly....no one seems too care. I'm THINKING about going further but my daughter just finished HS so my priority is her at this point. I will tell anyone if you want to bypass the BSN, go ahead. Many more opportunities will open up for you.

Any updates on this thread?

What's the salary for Q Centrix RNs who work from home?

Las Vegas VA Medical Center 6900 North Pecos Road North Las Vegas, NV 89086 I see this facility is hiring and was wondering how it is working there.

Any updates?

I personally feel this won’t work. There’s a high school CNA program here that started with 18 students and will only finish with 3. Too much info for these young brains to take in their brains. The LPN HS programs here in NYC are barely scraping out graduates.

Any updates on this program?

The exam dates are posted month to month. As of February 16th only 30 people were registered and they are taking 220 students this year (extra space for people who failed a class last year). Last year Veeb tested until June because it was hard to fill the seats. I'm certain there will be April dates. Definitely study that math PLEASE. I can't stress this enough. Do problems and time yourself. It's multiple choice and you get a calculator. YOU CAN DO THIS! I wish you all the best.

Any updates?

Worked for me for LPN and RN boards.

I took that test (no studying) in 2007 when Veeb was using Nelson Denny but now they use TABE.......which I’m GUESSING is harder. But like I said what might be easy for me might be hard for another so PLEASE just study math problems if you’re not strong. Their rejection letters said they can retest next year. Who wants to wait so long??

PLEASE study that math. Do NOT try to wing this test. Everyone is not great in math and if you haven’t taken a math class in a while, it will be a pain in the butt. Veeb is using the TABE test/math questions and 40 problems in 24 minutes should not be taken lightly. My peeps didn’t make it due to the math. 11th grade reading level and 9th grade level for Math is Veeb’s requirement and I told my peeps to study and practice math problems but they didn’t listen. STUDY TABE MATH.

Congratulations to you!!!

Inbox me your phone number and I'll link you guys up.

Well I convinced two of my family members to take the exam yesterday and they both said it wasn't bad. The short amount of time was intimidating like I had warned them both. They both said the reading questions were very easy but 24 minutes to do 40 decimal/fraction/multiplication problems can be a huge concern for someone who is not strong in math. A lot of people tested yesterday and 23 people tested on Wednesday. They will keep testing until 220 students are secured. Best of luck to everyone who will test. VEEB is the best!!

My BIGGEST pet peeve is AN/AND. SO BASIC. It’s Mary AND Kate not Mary an Mark. ???

Any updates on this thread?

Thanks so much for your kind words. My mom is a nurse and my dad is a professor and I just have a passion for academic advisement and enrichment. However I fell into Home Care and love my elderly patients so I don't know if I'll ever fall into it! Lol. With that being said I'll always be available to give information and as soon as I get an update on this issue I'll update you.

I just emailed Ms. Senior about this today for my cousin and I'm waiting for a response. Before HF didn't take these classes if they were more than 10 years old so you would have to CLEP it (meaning you had it before OR anyone was able to take the CLEP exam regardless if you had it or not. Now it seems that's not the case which is just ridiculous.

Are there any updates on this mentoring position?

I worked 7-3 at the nursing home while going to HF and went to school in the evenings. I only took AnP, Micro and the nursing classes there in one year. I CLEPped the 3 general ed classes and I had English already. The last 2 semesters are a little harder (nursing 223/224) so I only worked 4 morning shifts weekly.

Lily CLEP Human Development, Psych and Socu. Take your sciences through A SUNY school with lab online if it's not too difficult for you. I strongly believe HF will take the sciences. Just call and ask. Then you will only have to take English and Nursing at HF.
