  1. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    MedNurse2k posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Maybe I am making this overly hard and confusing for myself, but I can't seem to find another way to become a BSN RN (and then MSN), since I will need to work to pay existing expenses. I can't go to...

  2. Nurses in my Family, but None Are Helping Me

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Ruby, I appreciate your comment. Having said that, I do believe you misunderstood my thread. My situation involves my concern over the nurses in my family not offering advice and assistance in...

  3. Nurses in my Family, but None Are Helping Me

    MedNurse2k posted a topic in General Nursing

    Calling all you nurturing, sensitive, caring, and extremely empathetic nurses out there - I need some advice!! I have some nurses in my family, and also one who is currently in LPN school. I thought...

  4. Nurses in my Family, but None Are Helping Me

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome responses! I want to respond to each and every one of you, but I just got out of CNA class and am a bit tired. One thing about me: I have always been independent and a loner - if I need...

  5. Nurses in my Family, but None Are Helping Me

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone for your responses. I am aware that I must do this all on my own, and that this is indeed my life. However, just like allnurses.com has become an online "family" and resource...

  6. "The Mean Girl"

    MedNurse2k replied to NamasteNurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd report her - point blank. Both of my grandparents passed away in hospital settings, and there were numerous times when I saw rude nurses or assistants caring for them. So that bothers me to see...

  7. Are all LTC jobs like this?

    MedNurse2k replied to Comfortably_Numb's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I so feel for you! You are a rare person, like myself, who is extremely sensitive. People like us are few and far between, so you may notice that many people can not relate to you. I've been there,...

  8. Lincoln Tech's FIRST LPN Class - Should I Attend??

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Katnip and MollyPita, I don't think it was meant for me to meet with the Admissions Counselor, because as I was walking to the train station (nope, don't have a car yet), it began raining...

  9. Lincoln Tech's FIRST LPN Class - Should I Attend??

    MedNurse2k posted a topic in General Nursing

    Please feel free to move this, should this not be in the correct forum. I just recently, as of 20 minutes ago, found out that Lincoln Tech in my area will be offering a LPN program; it's Full-Time,...

  10. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    Update: I am starting a part-time job on Monday (non-medical related), which is extremely flexible. I'm going to get CPR certified soon, and also volunteer at my local hospital. THE CNA route would...

  11. Wondering if 50 is too old to go to RN school

    MedNurse2k replied to fancyme50's topic in LPN to RN

    My mother-in-law just turned 51 in January, and also started an LPN program in San Diego during the same month! It can be

  12. LPN Programs in Philadelphia or Delco?

    MedNurse2k posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am FULL of questions this week!! I live in Delco, not too far from Philly. I can not enter DCCC or CCP's Nursing program due to my lack of pre-req's, AND the exisiting wait list; I would need to...

  13. Lost my job....

    MedNurse2k replied to adorblepuppy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Rather than give up so quickly, why don't you call your job and speak openly and honestly to the boss/supervisor. Explain to them that you are sorry for how you ended things. This job is important, as...

  14. Lost my job....

    MedNurse2k replied to adorblepuppy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi, I am sorry that you lost your job, especially in this economy. Was there a way for you to call your boss on your way/or while at the family location? Waiting until you return was kind of pushing...

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    Thank you for all of these great ideas/options. The local community colleges are all filled up for this year and are currently accepting people for September 2010. Plus they all require that I have...

  16. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    Thanks for your reply. To clarify, I left the position due to poor support from the company overall, and various other reasons. I did not leave to focus on school. After coming home depressed on...

  17. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    I resigned from my job almost a month ago and am living off of my savings, which is enough to cover me for 1 year if need be. However my partner is also covering half of our bills so that has been...

  18. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    $900 for the CNA training? The ones I've come across here in Philly have been over $1000; the Red Cross is charging $1300 for a 4 week program!!! As much as I would like to bypass these steps (it's...

  19. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    Gosh, I guess I have to make some sacrifices that I was not prepared to make. In the long run, however, I will have what I want. I'll need to discuss this with my partner, so that we can keep expenses...

  20. Is it easier to get your RN by getting your LVN first.

    MedNurse2k replied to scootersuz's topic in LPN to RN

    April&em thank you for breaking down your plan; it is very much how I might have to go about my studies in the future. I wasn't sure how to make it happen but I think this method of working and...

  21. What To Do In My Situation?? ASN/LPN/BSN?

    MedNurse2k posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello All!! I am super brand new here, and have a few questions for your consideration. :wink2: Let me preface this with saying that I dropped out of college in 2002, after only completing 2 years (it...

  22. What To Do In My Situation?? ASN/LPN/BSN?

    MedNurse2k replied to MedNurse2k's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for the awesome replies (and do keep them coming!)! How I wish I could afford the BSN! Kind of wishing I was 18 and still living at my mom's house. Anyway, I will take all of the...
