    CLUVRN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Yep, I've worked seven days a week for almost year. Gotta pay tuition out of pocket for school as well as the rest of my bills. Does my employer take advantage of me? Absolutely, I'm known as the...

    Course vs Exam

    CLUVRN replied to silv27star's topic in Excelsior College

    For me, I thought Micro was very interesting. I was pretty engaged in the material, so I suppose that is what made me memorize the material in two weeks. Only used study group 101 in preparing for the...

    Ideas on how to pay for exams and CPNE????

    CLUVRN replied to acwoods1's topic in Excelsior College

    From what I understand, the associate's degree in nursing program through Excelsior does not accept federal financial aid funds. I think most of us pay as we go. Exelsior offers flexible payment plans...

    Are there any LPN's not going for RN?

    CLUVRN replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    CLUVRN replied to lovelucklaughter76's topic in Home Health

    I got verbally (and almost physically attacked) by a patient's neighbor that I was seeing, supposedly because I was speeding in the development they lived in. Very scary indeed, but still not to the...

    LPNs Often Fare Better Than Some Degree Earners

    CLUVRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This article is so true. My LPN has allowed me to earn a very good income so I can support myself while being able to pay out of pocket for my RN program. I do not for one second regret going the LPN...
