  1. Appearently no Hospital is Hiring (plz dont ignore)

    No hospital in my area hires LPNs any longer. Those LPNs who are still in the hospital are currently in LPN-RN program. I think there are no hospitals who are hiring LPNs at all these

  5. BSN or training certifications? More competitive/competent in L&D?

  6. Hospitals Hiring only Nurses with BSN Degree

  12. Is it really worth getting my RN to BSN?

  15. Nurses providing good "service"?

    I think most of the hospitals now are so psyched on the "custmer service", it really is crazy. I'm really thinking to get out of bedside nursing because this will only get worse. People are so rude...

    Obama will ruin this country, I don't understand who in their right mind was voting for him. He is a socialist and thinks like a communist. What a big mistake he is. But that's just my
  17. Quit or persue?

    I, too, consider myself rather shy and definetely an introvert, but that doesn't really make any difference at work. I just get sometimes anxious when there are too many family members in the...
  18. help thinking of getting out of nursing

    I agree, I would definetely try hospital. There are few nurses I know who came from nursing homes and they like hospital setting better. You have your 5-6 patients and that's it. Of course, there are...
