    agldragonRN replied to nurse1123's topic in Nursing Career

  8. How soon should I go from LPN pay to RN pay

    agldragonRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

  9. What to do with these kind of patients?

    agldragonRN replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

    wow it looks like a no win-win situation. patient falls. management blames nurse. patient does not fall due to unordered 1:1 by the nurse and things don't get done, management blames

  10. LPN license eligible?

    agldragonRN replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    agldragonRN replied to rjones416's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    agldragonRN replied to h_kitty's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    hang in there h_kitty. your sacrifices now will pay off big time later when you finish school. i was also working full-time during my full-time lpn school. it was tough but i made it. it was all worth...

  15. New Grad RN, can I work as a PCT

    agldragonRN replied to Hope32's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i don't think the facility will hire you as a pct once they find out you are an rn. they will think you will leave as soon as you find an rn position. but maybe you can spin in around and say...

  16. Im really confused???

    agldragonRN replied to sotochristine's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    that sucks they changed the rule. you can take both the entrance exams for both the lpn and rn and see which one accepts you. there is no guarantee you will get in either so better to have more...

    agldragonRN replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    agldragonRN replied to jammo444's topic in Nursing Career

    it is true in my experience. the hospitals around me don't consider my long term care experience. your mileage may vary though. ask yourself this: rn ltc = rn pay + rn experience or rn = 0 pay and 0...
