I have had a medical issue come up, with just 70 hours (and 2 journal entries) of my internship, which is 1 class of the 3 separate classes of my last semester of my Associate of Science in Nursing. I have completed the other 2 classes, and we have ...

Medical transcription. Work at home. Paid on production, by the line, about 0.08 per 66 characters. You only make about $300-500/wk (cake hours and proofreading; some don't worry about quality and just blaze through and always made more than I did...

I can't be a nurse; no it's not temporary, but it's not this bad all the time. I still want to get my degree and the credentials that I just worked for, for 4 years; wouldn't you?! And I can do other things with an ASN, RN, after my name, when doc...

Actually, close works with medical documentation too. Thanks for the replies. I'm all set, and it does depend on situation, school, etc., because we had a couple of people who missed clinical hours because of medical reasons not, not pass because o...

Unfortunately, I had private insurance, not through an employer, paid by my grandfather before he passed away, and another family member kept it going until this month--I'm on my own now kinda thing. Right, what I was counting on is having a job as ...

Wow, we have so much in common, and Elizabeth138--that is exactly how I felt when I worked last summer and basically was worried I might not get a job in the future if I had one more day where I felt like I did at work; funny how a patient can see ho...

OMG. I just, at 38, after our second baby, started school. Divorced him during nursing school. No help or child support. Moving every 3-4 months if I couldn't pay rent or, like me having no luck, the landlord decides they are moving in or....just...

My income for this year, with 2 children, is less than $100. Obviously I had to have school loans to take care of 2 children by myself. I haven't felt like this the whole time; this just started happening a month, month and a half before graduation...

How about diploma programs? There is no nursing degree to be had and students sit for NCLEX-RN? I could have sat for NCLEX-PN last semester, so I'd rather make up my one "I" in management than sit for PN. With medical documentation (once they frea...

Yes, if/when I'm out of bed working I make the money; no, I have no money when I can't get out of bed. You have to get up and work, can't work from bed.

If you do LPN first, you will still have to do 3 of 4 semesters of the RN program in any school I have checked out; I am in Florida. So being an LPN only lets you "skip" first semester of an ADN/ASN/Associate of Science in Nursing in this state. Ho...

Check with both schools....if you have your LPN license, you then will still have to do 3 semesters of an RN program....I almost had to drop last semester and called Excelsior. Even though I learned all the material in an RN program (as they say RN ...

I am sorry if I missed this info somewhere: Are you a new grad, it looks like yes since you mentioned "after graduation" but I wondered if you had any experience as a CNA or LPN before you graduated Nursing school? And I was going to ask more about ...

Woops...grants....you dont get much sleep and only proof your care plans....LOL.

First, you don't have to pay for school until you graduate. No matter if it is hrants or loans. School will pay for itself. Call yours local community college. Talk to ank advisor. Call a couple private schools. You wouldn't believe what we are...

And if you break your ankle and cannot complete clinicals, you're out and have to repeat the entire semester. My friend did her clinicals in a boot and thank God, she did it. Can you imagine having something medically happen that keeps you from per...

I think there do have to be higher standards. I'm kidding, just proof for a living and came across it and I thought it was ironic. I make mistakes all the time, but if these students actually have read what they wrote, they'd catch the mistakes I t...

So I am 7 weeks into 3rd semester of my community college ADN program. Two kids, just divorced 2 years ago, no child support, no time to work; I almost dropped a few days ago, exhausted physically and no time to work to make $ to take care of my fam...

Hey, just a mnemonic a teacher told me for insulin: Nancy Regan, RN; NRRN; NPH air, Regular air, Regular draw, NPH draw. I am not an EC student, CC student reading these, thinking about EC last night.... Anyway, idk how much you have learned by this...

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I don't wanna take longer.....I just thought maybe it'd be renewed enthusiasm too doing it another way; but I certainly don't want it to take longer, especially if what I am finding about the doctorate/NP laws changing; I ...

Sorry for typos, darn phone, but I'm done proofreading for a living, LOL, only my nurse's notes and med clarification from here on out! :)

Well that's promising, and aftet contacting FL BON and them saying it was the only online they accepted I felt better about. And when J've looked into any BSN programs they really only require an RN to qualify, plus preteqs of course. As bad as I ...

I found GA for CPNE.....

Yes, I did find all that today. I am in Florida and the only accept Excelsior, no stipulations, did ask. And I called again later to be sure. But I graduate in May; would take way longer to do Excelsior and I feel comfortable with skills, just fee...

Thanks!
