  1. Night shift mamas, Daycare questions?

    GaMBA replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to add that some daycares in my area allow what they call drop-in rates, where you drop your child(ren) off for a day or so, as needed. It usually can't be more than 2 days per week. Some...

  2. Night shift mamas, Daycare questions?

    GaMBA replied to MIcrunchyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Atlanta. Daycare for infants in my particular area runs anywhere from about $125/wk to $225/wk, with the average seeming to be roughly $150-$175/wk. This is of course based on the research I...

    GaMBA replied to It's_Me's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We're into our second week (of an 11-day course). It's cool so far. We're learning a lot! We do our clinicals next week at a nursing home. The CPR/First Aid class is

  4. Why are LPNs not allowed to do more?

    GaMBA replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    "the few that get out [there] and witness real world nursing run for the hills." I can imagine :-) Why do you think this is? What do you think are the hardest aspects to deal with in real world...

  5. Second Thoughts?!?

    GaMBA replied to AlexandrAnne's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just started my CNA class yesterday and I've had second thoughts (and third and fourth thoughts, etc ) since I first thought about even becoming a CNA, several months back. I constantly wonder if...

  6. How did you get started in Hospice nursing?

    GaMBA posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi, I just finished my first prereq for nursing school and I've been thinking a lot about all the different types of nursing and where my interests lie. Right now it's kind of all over the...

  10. Did you find A&P for LPN easier than the A&Ps for RN

    GaMBA posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi Everyone, From what I understand, the A&P required for the LPN program has a smaller scope than the A&P I and II required for an RN program. Does this mean it's a lot easier? I signed up...

  11. Why are LPNs not allowed to do more?

    GaMBA replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As a member of "the public" (*smile*) I honestly had no clue there were different kinds/levels of nurses until I started researching the profession earlier this year. Had absolutely no idea nor did I...

  12. Why are LPNs not allowed to do more?

    GaMBA replied to GaMBA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My, what an interesting turn this thread has taken. I appreciate everyone's contributions, however I don't feel that anyone has answered any of my actual questions. Why is the LPN's sope of practice...

  13. how many tests do you get a week?

    GaMBA replied to KIMYNURSE2B's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    This may be a very elementary question, but are the tests each week

  14. Did you find A&P for LPN easier than the A&Ps for RN

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

    I'm surprised that a lot of you have the same A&P classes for RN and LPN. Here in my area, you can take A&P I and II in place of the lower level general A&P, if you want to just apply for...

  15. Help - what are our options re: nursing school?

    GaMBA replied to GoDawgs!'s topic in Georgia Nursing

    THe Hope Grant will cover his prereqs. I'm taking mine at a community college and listed my major as LPN. As long as you're taking classes that are required for a diploma or certificate program, the...

  16. Is it easier to get into an LPN program than an RN program?

    GaMBA posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I'm curious as to whether it's less competitive to get into an LPN program than an RN program. I hear these stories about waiting lists and very limited numbers of spots for RN programs. Is the same...

  17. Anyone here use the Hope Grant to pay for LPN?

    GaMBA replied to GaMBA's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thank you, that is so encouraging to hear! I'd much rather just have to pay the difference in boooks than have to pay for the entire LPN program, lol. Every little bit helps. If you don't mind my...

  18. Is it easier to get into an LPN program than an RN program?

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

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I live in the Atlanta metro area and there are several LPN programs here. I ultimately want to be an RN, but as some people have mentioned, the finances work out much...

  19. Do LPN-RN bridge programs entail class 4-5 days/wk?

    GaMBA posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm still learning about schooling options in the nursing field. Ultimately I am thinking about pursuing my BSN, but for financial reasons I am considering getting my...

  20. Private CNA school versus a College/University CNA certificate

    GaMBA posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi, I have explored CNA schooling options and noticed that college and university CNA cert programs are longer and more expensive than the private CNA school programs. Which type of schooling is...

  21. I think we need a second degree student section...

    GaMBA replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taffy, this will be my third degree and I was able to get the Hope Grant, a program here in GA, to pay for ALL of my tuition for my prerequisites. I think I could even get an entire LPN program paid...

  22. Wait list vs. no wait list

    GaMBA replied to JettaDP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "my question for everyone is: would i be worth it to you to spend the extra money to get into a program quicker or would you wait?" it would only be worth it to me if the "extra" expense was...

  25. Why do you want to become a nurse?

    GaMBA replied to PoetryInMotion's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've decided to explore nursing because it's part of an interesting field (medical/healthcare), has lots of options, has good pay, and seems to be one of the few professions left that come with a...
