  1. LPN jobs

    jchatlpn replied to mom2a1c2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    YES! There are always a need for bilingual nurses in AZ. I would get the LPN just as a safeguard. You never know what can happen to you during that 3 and 4 block. But with your LPN you'll at least...

  2. University of Phoenix LPN to BSN 2012....Any Insight's?

    jchatlpn replied to Wild Irish LPN's topic in School, College Programs

    It is absolutely NOT a hard format and UofP does a good job of giving you shortcuts so you don't have to worry about it. You actually have templates already created in that format that you can use....

  3. University of Phoenix LPN to BSN 2012....Any Insight's?

    jchatlpn replied to Wild Irish LPN's topic in School, College Programs

    Just because whether or not you have little dependents relying on you would have a major impact on how much a full time job would effect your school. I have two young boys. Let me just say that I...

  6. What else should I do to get a job as a PCA?

    jchatlpn replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    You know maybe that's a good question for the boards. What I can say about my experience as a CNA maybe really different than what you experience. One thing is I am in Phoenix, AZ and our retirement...

  7. Anyone go straight from LPN graduation to RN bridge?

    jchatlpn replied to FLNurse2015's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    That's what I'm doing. I got my LPN and continued for my RN while working. It's important to get experience as a nurse to help you find a job when you finally graduate. Search these boards about...

  8. What else should I do to get a job as a PCA?

    jchatlpn replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Do not wear scrubs to your interview. I hate to even have to say that but I have seen it so much and have even made that mistake. Good luck! I was going to say transitioning from a nursing home or...

  9. Why be a CNA first?

    jchatlpn replied to Mama_Cashew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone already said plenty but I wanted to add that being a certified caregiver has great advantages too. As a CNA, you cannot pass medication. I became a CNA because I wanted to become familiar...

  10. Apply to wherever or what you want?

    jchatlpn replied to esunada's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you're a new grad AND you have no previous healthcare experience, you cannot afford to be picky. Also be aware that morning weekday shifts are extremely hard to find. I was able to get my...

    jchatlpn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    OFFER WATER! Do not forget that at some point during your visit with the invisible pt you MUST offer water. I'm a pretty smart person and I aced the exam but I failed the clinical part because they...

  12. Did anyone do the LPN to BSN at university of phoenix?

    jchatlpn replied to lynnie88's topic in School, College Programs

    Oh yeah, I know when I entered I needed to have work experience within 6 months of my enrollment date at U of P or something to that degree. I was able to do all my registration paperwork but my...

  13. Starting to become hopeless with this resume, please help?

    jchatlpn replied to panpan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I removed my objective a while back and I didn't get much luck with that so I put it back. I also had a resume with a job description that was specific to the job I was applying for so if it was home...

  14. should i even bother with nursing

    jchatlpn replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely don't base your experience on this one person. Maybe he did point out a weakness, but it's definitely not something you can't change. Just get in there and get your hands dirty. Maybe...

  15. Online LPN Programs

    jchatlpn replied to cindytreasures's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    University of PHX is good. I go to school once a week from 6-10 pm. Stay away from COLLEGE NETWORK and anything that charges you to find a school program for you. There are no ONLY ONLINE CLASSES...

    jchatlpn replied to lynnie88's topic in School, College Programs

    jchatlpn replied to cna23's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Some people just make bad decisions. If you want to go to nursing school because you need to find SOMETHING to do until you figure out your life, that's fine. But there are a lot of other things you...

  18. Best option for me LPN or RN

    jchatlpn replied to matika25's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I became a CNA through a certification program outside of the community college that I was attending for my prereqs. It only took 3-weeks but I did have to pay out of pocket. It was better than the...

  19. Do Away with LPN's What will LPN's Do?

    jchatlpn replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, they've been saying that forever. I am in AZ and believe me, they can't get rid of us, especially here. As a matter of fact, I am a school nurse and they are probably changing their format to...

  20. How did you get into Corrections Nursing or Forensic Nursing in AZ?

    jchatlpn posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am posting this in both the regional and specialty sections. If you are a corrections nurse or a forensic nurse (I am an LPN) can you tell me where you went to find employment? Do you need another...

  23. I quit nursing school

    jchatlpn replied to curiousrainbowfan's topic in General Students

    I think the most important question here is: Why did you want to get into nursing? Is it because it's the new trend, because your friends are doing it, because of money? I'm gonna tell you now, if...

    jchatlpn replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing
