    LPN to RN NCLEX

    Ella26 replied to laadawn's topic in General Nursing

    I felt like my PN-NCLEX was harder than RN. But, I think it's because you don't know what to expect the first time. For RN-NCLEX, I also studied things that I felt weak on LPN. They didn't even...

    New grad pay ?

    Ella26 replied to s5426's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in a private clinic- $27.50/hr. I believe I would make more at a bigger health system. But, I like my job. No nights, weekends, and paid holidays

    ARCC or Century?

    Ella26 replied to Bwalz177's topic in General Nursing

    Both are good programs. All the schools in the cities are very competitive. I'm not sure how many apply vs accepted or with what composite scores as I graduated years ago before those criteria were...

    Feeling discouraged about current job prospects

    Ella26 replied to Tay123's topic in General Nursing

    I am not in your same boat as I have no desire to work in a hospital or LTC facility. But, I will add that if you live in the twin cities, apply or try to find a job in a more rural area hospital....

    RN-BSN in MN

    Ella26 replied to casi's topic in General Nursing

    Ella26 replied to HopefulRNtay's topic in General Students

    I definitely agree with the previous posters. I would not waste anymore time contesting or dwelling on what you could have done better at. It's time to pick yourself up and move on. Accept the loss....

    RN-BSN programs

    Ella26 replied to Taber24's topic in General Nursing

    I went through Metro State's RN-BSN program (graduated 12/17). It definitely was not as rigorous as my LPN at DCTC or my bridge (LPN-RN at St. Kate's). The RN-BSN was pretty flexible and manageable....

    As an RN, I've never worked in a hospital or LTC, so clinic nursing is all I know (I started at the clinic as an LPN and stayed after getting my RN, then BSN. I was promoted and compensated as I rose...
