BA.LVN

Hello all, I've posted along this topic before, but nothing so specific. I know there are numerous entrepreneurial ideas out there for nurses....I'm just wondering if anyone has made either a part time or full time income as a nurse/health/wellness B...

Hello all, I have been reading a lot on these boards lately about nurses wanting to start their own home health agencies. I am an LVN, and am interested in starting a home care agency that offers unskilled services (personal caregivers, companion se...

Hello, I was curious as to how many of you have pursued a certification in coaching, as a nurse....more specifically a "Holistic Life Coach" certification. I'm researching various avenues, and Spencer Institute offers a short/self paced certification...

Yes, I'm a little confused too. If you are out of california, attend this school/do the online program, pass your RN boards, you can go back to California to work, right? Just doesn't make sense.

Hello all my fellow nurses! I am currently a LVN. Graduated from diploma program in 2008, worked for about 2 years in the pediatric home health industry. Also interviewed for a new up and running CNA/LVN school for a teaching position. However, I don...

So, I haven't been active on this board in a few years, as I've had two children in the last 4 years, letting my LVN license lapse (intending to renew soon). BUT, I have been involved in a mommy/playdate meetup group for the last 10 months. I'm actua...

And yes, I plan on being respectful but to the point in regards to the way I'll communicate. I've experienced one other incident last year by a toxic family member whom I chose to handle in the same manner. It's taken me 34 years to work up to being ...

I'm the same way. I mean right now I'm a SAHM but I'm a total introvert who craves alone time & has a very few close friends but joined thinking I needed to get out more for my kids : / I don't like wasting my time on small talk either. Thanks fo...

Exactly Ruas61! If she wanted to & not let me know, fine. But the need for "concern" is perplexing. She could have asked me about it casually in person at a later date or state that maybe she misunderstood me regarding not having a BSN. Weird. Sh...

Thanks for all your support/input :) I plan on sticking with communicating only through the meetup forum with her from this point on, will issue an email to group members stating I'm stepping down as co-organizer & will be focusing our energies o...

Hi Rodoon: (and thanks everyone for your input). I would not like to do this as a "one woman show," and yes, I am more interested in possibly running a home CARE agency, NOT a home health agency. Just clearing that up, as I wasn't so clear I know. So...

I wouldn't do it while you are on the job/case or still employed. While on a case, I knew my pt had FB, but we both respected each other's boundaries and never added each other. Once I was off the case for awhile, and no longer employed by that agenc...

ok, thanks again for all the info!

***one other thing to add, is if down the road I obtained my wellness coach certificate, I'd consider offering those services on the blog as well.....I'd just want to try to monetize it in various ways so there's smaller multiple streams of income ra...

Thanks guys! JustBeachyNurse, what state do you reside in? I'm in CA.

Thanks for the input. I would think insurance would be a biggie. Also, as an LVN would I need to practice under a specific RN? And also, as a nurse doing non-nursing duties, would that still put me at risk if something WERE to happen to the client? (...

Awesome. These sound amazing. Can't wait to try! Thanks for sharing!

I too, am curious as to what entrepreneurial opportunities/ideas are out there for LVN's. Could you be a health writer/blogger providing information (infopreneur) under the licensed of a RN? Just curious!

As an LVN for 3 years in CA, I have only worked in pediatrics....mostly home health or school cases. But there are such places as day health centers for pediatric patients (kinda like a day care for medically fragile children)...and here, they hire L...

......anyone?

I too, received my BA in art/photography after high school. I worked in the creative/publishing field for a year, until the company closed. After that, I struggled to find art-related work...nothing. So, I worked in retail, and joined a year long LVN...

LOL...love it!
