  3. BCG vaccine and Mantoux test

    heathert_kc replied to Belle Epoque's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think there is anything controversial about it. If you received the BCG vaccine as a child, as many people, particularly those born in countries where TB is or was more prevalent did, you...

    heathert_kc replied to TNtoKS's topic in General Nursing

    Due to the fact that you already have a bachelors degree, you might want to check out doing an accelerated BSN, and get a bachelors in nurse in 12 to 18 months of full time study. Mid America Nazarene...

    heathert_kc replied to Mommyof3Boys's topic in LPN to RN

    heathert_kc replied to heathert_kc's topic in General Nursing

  11. Working 2 jobs worth it?

    heathert_kc replied to antonette1987's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Temporarily it's great especially if you have debts to pay down or something special you are saving up for. I wouldn't suggest that you work two full time jobs, that will cause you to feel burnt out...

    heathert_kc replied to CynicallyVexed's topic in General Nursing

    heathert_kc replied to millertyme's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't gotten into the program yet, but am applying. I did very well on the teas test, in the mid-90s percentile. Unfortunately I don't get extra points for that you simply get 10 points for...

  17. why is the pay so low?!?!

    heathert_kc replied to cawkazn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  21. why is the pay so low?!?!

    heathert_kc replied to cawkazn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it depends, I mean in some areas (like SoCal I hear), are so over saturated with nurses they simply don't have to pay a lot in order to get a wealth of qualified applicants. I live in an area...
