    Gauge replied to Gauge's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Gauge replied to Mochafrap_RN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    If money is an issue you can try to go to UTM. It is in the NW corner of Tennessee (may be too far from you). I'm currently a senior nursing student there and it's pretty cheap at about $2500 a...

  9. Current LPN pay for Nashville area

    Gauge replied to saskenn's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  14. Difference between LPN and RN knowledge?

    Gauge replied to stewiegriffin's topic in General Students

    I am in a BSN program and the way our instructors explain it to us is like this: LPNs know how to do things, but RNs know why they are being done. You may agree or not agree, I'm just telling you...

  16. Nursing Shortage at Nashville Area Hospitals? Perceptive to Negotiations?

    Gauge replied to BlessedMom4's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I wouldn't think they would negotiate any really. To them you are at a minimum 2 years away from getting out of school, if they are in a bind now they want nurses now and may negotiate with them if...

  18. How are your clinicals graded?

    Gauge replied to gabriella86's topic in General Students

    For the actual clinical experience it's pretty much Pass/Fail, but we do get a grade for the paperwork. We usually have about 5-6 pages of paperwork to turn in for every day of clinical so that gets...

  19. 2 Acceptance Lttrs...Now what? Private vs. Community college Help...

    Gauge replied to BlessedMom4's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    There is no reason in my opinion to go to the private school. Your family is rather large and 1 income is difficult enough as it is...even once you are out of school and making decent money as an RN...

    Gauge replied to Jenrose15's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I got to UTM and simply by your major showing nursing does not mean you are in the program here. You can come in as a freshman and choose nursing as your major and it will show as such on the...

    Gauge replied to Cinqly's topic in Tennessee Nursing
