Congrats to all who got accepted recently!

business trips, for interviews, can be a tax write off. as for mercy paying for the flight, i would like to know the answer to that too.

My interview was under the old regime. They started doing things differently once Sue left. They are struggling to fill spots because usually, it only takes 2 interview sessions (fall and spring) to fill spots. Now, they are also interviewing in July. That makes 3 sessions, and I bet they also fill more spots for 2014 with interviews in the fall, 4 sessions total. Good luck.

Getting an invite is the easy part, as they are struggling to find enough students to fill there upcoming class. Go prepared, know your stuff, having all your requirements before you go will help you. Make sure you get plenty of sleep before the interview. You will be very nervous, just take your time, answer to the best of your knowledge, and don't BS with them. Hope to see you in January.

You want a college degree or a diploma?

shouldn't matter as to which degree you have. i have found that experience in hospice helps you land that job. you can do your ADN and get your BSN online. Good luck!

save your money and go straight into an RN program. UALR can get you an ADN in 18 months if you qualify for their fast track. more and more hospitals are doing away with LPNs, more and more of them are also requiring a BSN. if you just want to stick to the LPN track, you can still find jobs at nursing homes and may be at the VA. Good luck! forgot to add: my wife was thinking about doing an LPN program, but when we did the math, what she would've paid for tuition vs what she would've ended up making as an LPN, she would've broken even if she just not gotten her LPN and stuck to her $11/hr job. new RNs make $20+/hr.
