I started my LPN_RN(ADN) Bride program March 26. The first semster is online and very disorganized. Some of my classmates are not doing well on tests. Think 40 questions 40 minutes. Material is taken from 3 different books sometimes. Also the tests a...

I did, not loving it so far. I miss using my skills. One pro is that I get all my breaks and its one patient at a time.

Loss of skills, Boredom, gossip, not so nice surgeons and scrubs, and push for 10 min turnovers.

If you decide to become an MA, please do not go to a for profit school, apply to a technical school. Also I have meet lots of MA's that could only work as CNA's because of they could not find jobs after going to a for profit school and could not pay ...

You are welcome. You can give a resignation at anytime but please work out the resignation until the departure date. Hopefully you did not sign any contracts and I would make sure that you have a job already with an offer letter and start date before...

You might not ever know, nursing is a small world and don't burn your bridges.. Most companies do have reviews from former employees online. I often ask around to coworkers, someone always knows someone who has worked somewhere or worked there themse...

9.7%..lol

Everyone's first job is usually stressful, but sometimes it can be a good learning experience. Also the grass might look greener at the other facility and it can be a lot worse once you are employed. Mediate and go with your gut. Good luck to you!

Make other friends, and email your teacher if you are confused. Chances are slim that you will see them again after nursing school, and you don't need that type of negativity in your life at the present moment.

I was refused by several schools, but I never gave up. I have three nursing degrees to prove it. Good luck to you :)!

Georgia Highlands takes your highest scores. I graduated from the LPN-RN Bridge program in 2013.

Yes, start working on your BSN. Its very hard to get into a residency in Atlanta without a Bachelor's degree. This is due to Magnet status. Also depending on what area in Atlanta.

I am not sure what part of town you will be living Atlanta is huge. Tell him to try Southern Regional, and most nurses didn't have a BSN or were going back for a BSN. Also he can pretty much change specialties if he likes. Also AMC, cartersville medi...

After 18 months in the ER, I have moved to the OR.

Congrats to you! I will also be starting my dream of working in the OR on the 23rd!

Nursing was not my first option. I was in college to become a veterinarian.This was my sister's dream and she talked me into it. In my second and third year as an LPN I loved working in hospice. Now going on my sixth year and my first as an RN workin...

Yes, its like this in my ER. I am leaving for am OR position. I am tired from holding, tele, ICU and OBS patients, with the revolving rooms. We are also very short on nursing staff and nurses and providers are quitting left and right. Mandatory 24 ho...

30 unpaid minutes.. IF you get one.

I want my MSN focus to be FNP and education. If I land a job in the OR, I would like to become an RNFA. At this point I am burned out from school so that's why the wait. Good Luck to you and in the fall. I hope I am accepted!

Hey. I started school a week after I graduated with my RN-ASN. I graduated about 3 weeks ago with my BSN. I wasnt bad at all. I did my clinical rotation in Haiti, it was an experience. I left home health and started working in the ER in 2013 and now ...

Its all up to you. I have taken A and P so many times its ridiculous,but look at my title. I never gave up, I didn't make it through the front door so I went through the back. Good luck to you.

I would use my off days to do about a month's worth of work.

There are pros and cons to every situation you have mention. I was an LPN and I worked in LTC for 2.5 years, then I move to hospice for 3 years and homehealth for 2.5 years. Yes, while working LTC the patient load is mainly stable but unmanageable wi...

I started the week after I graduated from the LPN-ADN bridge May 2013. Yes I did get a few a refusals from hospitals wanting a BSN. And I was walked out of one interview. I will have a BSN 12/13/14. Hopefully I will become more marketable.
