  1. what do I do? failed hesi have to settle for lpn!!

    buzkil replied to ziggles's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I can't believe they are not letting you through!! This is an awful situation and I am very sorry you have to go through it. As an LPN who is almost done with RN program I will tell you this-there is...

  2. My vent and What I will learn from it?

    buzkil replied to SmilesNoir's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should continue going to this doctor because everytime they see you coming they will be extra, extra, extra careful to make sure everything is done just

  3. Hard time going from LPN to RN????

  4. Possible ethical question about Clinical experience...

    buzkil replied to Studying24.7's topic in General Students

    I find the op's posts to be very obnoxious. Sorry if that

  5. Older Nursing students

    buzkil replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    I think she is talking about someone who is in their late 60's or early 70's. We have to acknowledge there is a difference between someone in their 40's and 50's and someone in their late 60's or...

    I have been an LPN for almost 20 years and I graduate my RN nursing program in May of this year. Not so

  8. Older Nursing students

    buzkil replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    Ok, I'm not here to bash dreams. I only responded with an honest opinion. Why do I care? I guess because I'm human. As I said in a previous post, I think education for the sake of education is great...

  9. Older Nursing students

    buzkil replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    I think it is very foolish to think you can BEGIN a career in healthcare at the age of 70. Perhaps if someone was already a lpn, cna, medical assistant, etc.. this would be a doable thing. I don't...

  10. Older Nursing students

    buzkil replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    Are you saying you would encourage a 70 year old to pursue nursing? The OP has never worked in healthcare. How is that going to be ok for her? I guess it's not my business but the topic was put out...

  12. Older Nursing students

    buzkil replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    I think it's great that dreams are being followed but I have to admit it's a struggle for me to accept that there is a lot of worth to someone starting a new career in their late sixties or early...

  13. New grad RN finds job at ltc, but getiing paid as LPN

    buzkil replied to newbiehere's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, sounds like typical sub acute/long term care. They are all very similar. I work in one that sounds a lot like the one you are in. Been there a long time as an LPN. I graduate my RN program in...

  14. Nasty residents, smoking, and insubordination

    buzkil replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I know this thread is a few weeks old but I just came across it and I feel compelled to reply. It is so sad to me how so many nurses responded with comments like the one above. A charge nurse is put...

  15. Should I become an LPN or stay CNA?

    buzkil replied to kimmy436's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    OMG! Where do you live? CNA starts at $11-12 and LPN At $16!! That's terrible.

  16. Ethical Question...

    buzkil replied to ConcernedHealthcare3's topic in General Nursing

    Let me first say I am sorry you are going through this very difficult situation. Dealing with an addicted family member is so difficult. In my opinion, you should NOT report your mother at this time....

  17. still no job

    buzkil replied to mume2mykidz's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Have you tried sub acute rehabs? You can get experience there. They are usually more likely to hire new grads. Some hospital systems have rehabs that they are affiliated with. In those cases you...

    buzkil replied to buzkil's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hi! No, I'm not in the nursing program yet. I'm doing my prereqs too. My friend is starting in September though. She actually wanted to know where the uniforms are sold because she is petite and...

  20. LPN's Aren't Allowed to Work in NJ?

    buzkil replied to MQ Edna's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    LOL! If it's illegal for LPNs to work in hospitals then call the cops, I need to be placed under arrest. It's not that LPNs are not allowed to work in hospitals. Hospitals just don't hire many...

  21. how'd you do it?

    buzkil replied to sac7540's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, ok. From your original post I assumed you had absolutely no college experience. Um, I really don't think it matters that much. You should call area hospitals, ask to speak to their nurse...

  22. how'd you do it?

    buzkil replied to sac7540's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you get your degree from a two year college(CHEAPER!!!) you can go to Drexel for their RN to BSN program. The benefit of this is that you will be working $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and you may even get tuition...

  23. how'd you do it?

    buzkil replied to sac7540's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. You need to find nursing schools in your area. 2. You need to meet with an admissions counselor at the school. 3. Determine which school is the best fit for you. a. location b. cost c. requirements...

  24. TEMPORARY LICENSES for GPNs waiting to take the boards?

    buzkil replied to VetTechingWasEasier's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    let me add to my above post: It is my understanding that the board does not issue temporary licenses. I do not know if employers will hire you as a GPN and have you do CNA work(or the like)....
