  1. Lpn Student Questions???? Help

    sierranic replied to studentLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Get one of those NCLEX-PN review books. Saunders is a really good one. This will really help you understand the format of some of the test questions you may get in class, as well as why that answer is...

  5. Physical before entering LPN school?

    sierranic replied to chachacha's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Our school required a physical and once I got into the office I got very upset. I assumed with this being a health care program that I would only have to answer some questions and possibly prove that...

    sierranic replied to SirJohnny's topic in General Students

    sierranic replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

  8. Nursing for the wrong reasons? (long)

    sierranic replied to Soonstudent's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you have yourself in the perfect position to make a move! My recommendation would be to see if it would be possible to shadow a nurse and see how you would like it. Over 50K a year is a...

    sierranic replied to ChristineG's topic in General Nursing

    Cb is right, And for your last response to my "Why go to college", I was refering to the fact that you can walk into quite a few businesses around my metro area with no college education and start out...

    sierranic replied to ChristineG's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to add this in the last post, but a hospital close to me offers the student nurse internship, which pays $10/hr and once you graduate you get $1/hr for every hour you worked as a student and...

  16. Nurses pay

    sierranic replied to ChristineG's topic in General Nursing

    No, it was RN, and to top that off the LPN's make only a few less than that.... Kinda makes you wonder why you would go to school longer for only a few

  17. free cna or gna classes

    sierranic replied to stichy5683's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Iowa, so I can't answer for MD, however we are not offered free CNA classes here. In order to take one you need to pay out of pocket, or be employed by a nursing home or LTC facility (they...

    sierranic replied to mommy2dd's topic in General Nursing

  20. Nurses pay

    sierranic replied to ChristineG's topic in General Nursing

  21. need info on CNA license

    sierranic replied to grumble's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Here in Iowa you can actually challange the boards (No need to sit in class or clinical) If you are in school for LPN then I'm sure you would do fine challanging the boards. Our local CC offers state...

  22. cost of nursing school???????

    sierranic replied to mamaof2's topic in Nursing Career

    You wouldn't need to be accepted at a school in order to see if you are eligable for government grants or loans. I do believe that you have to be enrolled in a program for a scholarship though. Any...

  23. Why Is There A Shortage?

    sierranic replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it all starts at the educational level!! If there is such a shortage then the government should see to it that anyone who wants to be a nurse should have the opprotunity to be one. Rather...

  25. Medicaid madness.....

    sierranic replied to jenac's topic in General Nursing

    What is the question your asking? Are you asking what % they pay? For the most part, if they are using medicaid, medicaid would pick up the majority of the bill. I believe the % the patient would pay...
