My husband has an bachelors degree in sociology and has interest in nursing.Can he obtain an BSN much quicker with a bachelors degree? or is it an ADN he can obtain much quicker.How would we get started?I dont want to be responsible for all the bills if its going to take a full 4years to do it.Any advice...Thank You in advance:yeah:

Well its just not Lpns getting laid off...its also Rn's as well.My sister has a supervisory position at her prision. So she is safe for now.

:mad:This is something I would have never expected. Definitely discouring to me and heart breaking:crying2:.Well my sister she is an Lpn and has been for over 20yrs.She told me that they are laying off nurses from left to right at her job in correctional prison.I have been reading up on other locations about this same thing occuring. I just took it as a rumor or whatever. I cant believe the economy is so bad that they would lay off nurses.I mean I thought if I went to school for nursing. I pretty much had it made.A permamanet gig..a great career even.OOOOOHHHH man something has got to give..when nursing isnt safe anymore. Is anyone experiencing the same situation in thier neck of the woods

Does anyone know the salary in for a new lpn in north carolina...ie...charlotte,raleigh...

Do you recommend new LPNS with no experience start off working in a correctional setting?

Do you recommend new LPNS with no experience start off working in a correctional setting?

My sister has been an LPN at a male max prison for 13 yrs and all she does is pass out meds...thier job is restricted at correctional setting. Mainly I think because I heard its real easy to lose your license there.

I basically wanted to know if anyone has any experience with ECPI in Charlotte NC. Im going Monday to take my TEAS test and I know the LPN course is stupid high:idea: but I need to take an Lpn course. Charlotte doesnt have cc with lpn courses. Only small towns near charlotte that are completely far away from me. I really would appreciate your feedback. Thank You for your time:heartbeat

no i havent, so far i only contacted bayada. Looking to work in clinics,urgent care,corrections and I dont mind doing LTC or Hospice. I just want experience and see if nursing is my passion. Im so excited about nursing. Money is secondary. Thats how much I like it.....lol

I basically would like to know who hires new grad LPNS. I called bayada and they said you have to have one yr exp. I dont wanna pay almost 25,000 to go to school and cant find job....so who hires NEW GRADS?... Thanks you in advance for any input or advice you give...really:redpinkhe

Well I knew what you meant!!! U were talking about going the farthest you can in the health field. Do what you think is right! If you want to go to school for nursing...than do it!!! and continue to med school...do that too!!! I come from a long line of people in the health profession. Especially nursing...to be exact. You can do it!!!!! Stay postive and fight all counter attacks!!

Im in remedial math as well.I got a 100 on reading and sentence fragments but a 32 on the math.Math has always been my kryptanite:banghead:.When I read your reply on how math is a non issue after school.I felt a little better and I also I was worried about doing measurements and conversions as well. Is really hard to do?

So i decided to not pursue a degree as a RN. Instead I choose to start as a LPN.Many in my family are disappointed in my choice. I need to do whats comfortable and right for me. Basically before I go any further I need some correct info from the PROS.. I called ECPI and asked a load of questions. The rep said graduates from the charlotte ECPI have all obtained jobs. Says the program has place 100 percent job placement. He said the salary ranges are from 38,000 to 43,000.....So could it be?

ECPI in charlotte definitely has a wonderful night program... Where are you?

What do lpns do in the agency? LTC? If available what do they do in the hospitals? Please answer I really would like to know.
