  1. Most (although not all) LPN-RN programs require 1000hrs (basically a year) on the job before bridging in. But, all accredited CC in the state have articulation agreements with the tech colleges. This...
  2. RN schools

    I'd try U of A in Tucson. Tucson is a pretty nice town, very livable. And the medical center associated with the university is a level 1 trauma, magnet hospital....

  4. AIDS Education Requirement for WA License

    Scholarships/financial help is out there, you just have to search. And a lot of it is comes on the back-end, in the form of loan repayment. Check local hospitals, many have $$ for employees pursuing...
  10. Male Nursing Instructors

    I don't know if I'd say my male nursing instructors are better, but I will say that I've really enjoyed all (2) of them. One of the instructors went a bit beyond and organized a chapter of the...

    See the post below about the Male Nurse fighting in UFC.
  12. Male CNA

    Many states/programs will grant RN students CNA after the first term, so check it out. Might save you some cash. From my experience, the CNA position is vital to the floor. A good CNA can really make...
