  1. Has anyone researched LPN wage ranges?

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Or the average of people who respond to the survey. Most salary surveys are a little higher to much higher than the actual average range. However it is a nice site to compare and hope for starting...

  2. Please tell me I am not crazy for turning this down

    baldee replied to mommy2three2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Someone influential with links to informal infrastructure just 'bumped' you. You were probably not the bottom, but was either someone they thought they could easily get away with (a 'Mom'), or was a...

  3. Pros and cons of Private & Community College?

    baldee replied to kiss04bam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear what you are saying. But how do you justify comparing a CC credits to an institution like GA Tech? But you are right, there has to be some way to meter the results. But the only fair way is to...

    Wow, that's a lot of conditions (15 states and Canada).

  5. Meet a Nurse Recruitor frm Stanford Hospital. Her thoughts regarding Excelsior.

    baldee replied to familyguy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If I'm not mistaken, Florida does not allow EC education for RN either. Do you have to move to work in another State, or take your test in another state which is an additional expense? Just what...

  6. Is the salary of an LPN even Worth the trouble of going to school??

    baldee replied to Tony1790's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yeah, LOL, SIGN ME UP!!

  7. Has anyone gotten into nursing school with a low gpa?

    baldee replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People, it would be helpful if you stated what school you got accepted into: CC, State College/University, Private School, or Commercial Trade School. Otherwise your posts have no relevance AT ALL!!...

  8. Pros and cons of Private & Community College?

    baldee replied to kiss04bam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I have come to the conclusion that CC's are great for pre-requisites, but fat chance on getting in ADN program w/ Its a situation current RN's don't mind I'm sure. But RN's will get the fees,...

  9. The CPNE is going up to $1900

    baldee replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It WAS calculated on Bachelors rate including a full degree program, and I may have replicated hours for classes. Nothing devious intended though. Have a nice

  10. The CPNE is going up to $1900

    baldee replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OK, so I'm not even in the ballpark. Hmmm, maybe RN is just a pipedream. No wonder the CC won't even council ADN students until they are accepted. They are paying for all the new buildings, campus...

  11. The CPNE is going up to $1900

    baldee replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Lunah and NC Girl 35. Interesting, I actually came up with $35K, but must have gotten something wrong. Scholarships, grants, and FL laws may prevent me from paying for a condensed schedule like...

    baldee replied to 2bManNurse1017's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You gotta eat, and so does your family. Most councelors are there because it doesn't require any thinking capabilities. Just consider the source! Throughut my life, I've only had ONE good councelor...

  14. CNA Schedules

    baldee replied to jenni82104's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    A dollar more than what? Squat? Ha-ha, just kidding. But really, $1.00 more than what? You are near me (Bradenton), except the big city so you should make more than here hopefully. Are you going to...

  15. Apply for CNA or go to LPN school?

    baldee replied to LPNDebbie's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Watch out for Home Health. Around here, Admin, bookeeping, Managers, etc... in a HHA are all CNA's(?) and one RNA usually. You don't need a CNA and I was trained and ready to start as a HHA with badge...

    Wow, fantastic! What was your Pre-nursing GPA and overall GPA, if you don't mind? You shouldn't ha-ha, you've got it made in the shade now.

  18. On-line ADN after pre-nursing subjects, with Residency local in mid-Gulf FL?

    baldee replied to baldee's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did find this which didn't have an ADN online exactly, but if you look up on a search per classes, they had most all of the ADN classes on line from different schools. Maybe my local CC will sponser...

  19. The CPNE is going up to $1900

    baldee replied to NC Girl BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, looking at their site, it looks close to $50K easy. I guess $8K is not bad at a community college. The only way I'd do on-lne would be state supported schools, and esp not a commercial site from...

  20. CNA courses in Orlando???

    baldee replied to RNWannabe89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find out on FL statutes web site or google for FL approved cna test centers, and look in Orlando area. Test centers are usually very competitive training costs, from my local comparisons in Bradenton,...

    baldee replied to Faith213's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Howdy! I start ADN program next week, and have been certified as a HHA. CNA is something I will get between quarters at a 75 hrs per a 2 week course (1/2 time is homestudy), where they administer the...

  25. Is Excelsior BSN accepted in Florida State?

    baldee posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    It looks like you could spend days dropping cookies and going in circles on their web site looking for [1] accredidation and [2] cost information. I don't get a real good feeling from their site and...
