I just took a general Prophecy exam and hated it. It was mostly questions about body mechanics and new HIPPA laws. I got a 86% so I think maybe I passed? They didnt let me know either way as of yet. The being timed thing freaked me out and some of their terms in 25 years of nursing I have never heard of. I was given NOTHING to study ahead of time, just went in cold. This is a prerequisite to traveling so I think it is just some documentation the agency can show to prove I am a safe nurse. And in case I am a complete imbecile they can prove they did everything they could. Liability you know.

You can always take an assignment in a compact state to see if you like the travel thing.

I am an LPN and traveled last year. I am going back to it after the first of the year. Check out facebook for travel lpn boards.

Im an lpn working in the middle of nowhere but I get 20.46 an hour. Starting pay for rns is around 25 I think.

I know Maxim does. Where are you located? I worked for a smaller company in ND and did a couple assignments for them. I am about to start working per diem for a SD company.

You guys are making me nervous. I am an LPN with 20 years experience. I have been thinking of going back to get my RN but maybe I will rethink. I am working dialysis right now, after relocating back home from out of state. Dialysis always seems to be hiring. However our manager announced at the last meeting that we are 'over-staffed' on RNs. This last year a number of our LPNs and techs graduated as RNs. They were able to keep working at dialysis but is has given us too many RNs. So I dont know if a new RN could get hired here or not at this exact moment. Most of our RNs want to move on to other positions but haven't been able to find anything. But at least they are 'getting experience' working here.
