About yvesul

yvesul specializes in Clinical experience only.


Born/raised in The Bronx, Moved to Upstate NY after losing my job as a result of the Sept. 11 tragedy. At the age of 42 and 20yrs of Real Estate Accounting under my belt I decided to chase a long forgotten dream. I wanted to be a nurse. So here I am.

    The problem is that you have to deny the fact that you are an LPN at the hospitals here in upstate NY. I've applied at 4 of the major hospitals and the response I rec'd (not all exactly the same but you'll get the drift), We will not hire an LPN for ...

    I live in the Hudson Valley Region of New York. There are a lot of places to work besides the hospitals. I've learned to get creative as far as where to apply. I've also made calls to find out who in particular would be receiving my resume. I even we...

  11. Excelsior - DO OR DON'T?

    Thanks Lisa, It makes financial sense to go directly through EC. And as I stated earlier, I am comfortable with the online learning venue. I'm comfortable setting and sticking to a scedule. btw, lpnmaura, that would be an excellent way to monitor ho...
