  1. Seeking advice if nursing is the right path!

    vanillavirtue replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Students

    I think the accelerated program is 5 days a week. That would be nice if there were a 2 days a week ADN program here. That would be very convenient. You could easily work a job with that type of...

  3. Seeking advice if nursing is the right path!

    vanillavirtue replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Students

    I thought about doing an accelerated program a while back. There is only one accelerated program where I'm from, and they only take admissions once a year. Also, the accelerated program is in a...

  4. Seeking advice if nursing is the right path!

    vanillavirtue replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Students

    I didn't say that I would do nursing strictly for the pay. Yet, why do people work? People work to provide essential needs. If you run a poll and ask how many nurses would do their job for free,...

  5. Seeking advice if nursing is the right path!

    vanillavirtue replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your advice. I saw you mentioned teaching as a career option. Teaching requires a lot of demanding work (just as much as nursing) and can be a very stressful job. I started doing the...

  6. Any new grads having a hard time finding a job??

    vanillavirtue replied to CocoChanel's topic in General Nursing

    I find it very surprising that new graduate nurses are having issues finding a job in MS. I see SO MANY openings for nursing all over the state of MS. I wouldn't suggest for anyone to leave their job...

  7. East Mississippi State Hospital

    vanillavirtue replied to alcheska's topic in General Nursing

    I had a aunt that was a patient at East MS on one of the psych wards. To be honest, that was a scary place on the psych wards. The ward when they first send psych patients is the scariest one. When...

  8. LPN payrate in Jackson, MS?

    vanillavirtue replied to LPN0608's topic in General Nursing

    Is the payrate 19.00/hr for new graduate nurses? Also, can you work as a Nurse Tech/CNA full time while you are in school? Are they flexible with scheduling? The reason why I'm asking is because I...

  9. First medication error- I am quitting nursing

    vanillavirtue replied to tolerantgirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, just thank the Lord you didn't kill anyone off with the med error! Now, with the patient hitting you, you might want to consider working somewhere else. I don't know if you are a female/male,...

  10. Advice Needed. RN, LPN, Schools...Life Track?

    vanillavirtue replied to oONightFireOo's topic in General Nursing

    Well, at most schools the LPN programs are from 7 a.m to 3p.m. I would suggest for you to go on and do the RN program, because at least you could possibly work a job part-time with the RN program...

  12. Seeking advice if nursing is the right path!

    vanillavirtue replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Students

    Well, nursing school is not going to be any added debt. I found a way to get the nursing program paid for. When I say expenses, I'm talking about rent, car insurance, health insurance, credit card...

  13. Seeking advice if nursing is the right path!

    vanillavirtue replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Students

    Well, back in the day I really wanted to do nursing. It is just right now, I have bills I need to pay off. Also, I don't want to stay with family members while I'm in school. I want my own place,...

    vanillavirtue replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Nursing

  16. USM Nursing School

    vanillavirtue posted a topic in General Nursing

  17. USM Nursing School

    vanillavirtue replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to apply at another school for this Fall 2009, and I think this is a better timing for me to do nursing school. Anyway, thanks so much everyone for your valuable

  18. USM Nursing School

    vanillavirtue replied to vanillavirtue's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your information. No, I didn't get in, and I'm kind of glad because I didn't want to move down to Hattiesburg. Also, I don't think it is the right time for me to do nursing school anyway....

  19. Does anybody had seen a nurse with tunnel earrings?

    vanillavirtue replied to Hacker-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, you are right. You can't ever judge a book by it's cover. I don't have any piercings, but I do have some tattoos that can be covered with quarter length shirts. I'm not a drug user, and I am...

    vanillavirtue replied to soloduck's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I thought about doing UMC's accelerated program. I just graduated with my Bachelor's. I talked to an advisor at another school about accelerated programs. He said that there are only a few...

  24. Working with all females - fringe benefit or danger zone?

    vanillavirtue replied to medlaw's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have heard people say that the LPN program is harder and more demanding than the RN program. If you are going to do nursing, you might as well go on and do the RN program. Also, you better not have...

  25. Working with all females - fringe benefit or danger zone?

    vanillavirtue replied to medlaw's topic in Men in Nursing

    Not to be rude, but why nursing? How can you go from being an attorney to a LPN? That is the oddest thing to me. Nursing will not be less stressful. If you thought your job as an attorney was...
