    Heavenly4505 replied to jazzytee's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied for January 2025 also. I've talked to an admissions rep and submitted all my transcripts. I took my TEAS yesterday and just got my score...I passed based on the score they require. I'm...

  2. Should prn get weekend or holiday diff???

    Heavenly4505 replied to rechell1215's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked homecare, the agency I worked for did not pay a holiday diff to anyone. Fulltime, parttime, PRN...didn't matter. I did shiftwork, and if the family of the patient wanted service on a...

  3. First Job as a Dispensing Nurse at an Addiction Treatment Center?

    Heavenly4505 replied to FATGUCCI's topic in Addictions

    Hi there! Sorry I'm a little late to respond. I am a LPN who has been working as a dispensing nurse for a methadone and suboxone clinic for a few months now. I absolutely LOVE the job. It has its own...

  4. Galen hybrid Cincinnati

    Heavenly4505 replied to DeeDee34's topic in LPN to RN

    I know this thread is a bit old, but I was just wondering if you started at Galen, and if so, could you give me some insight into the schedule for the hybrid program in Cincinnati? Like, what...

  5. Achieve test prep?

    Heavenly4505 replied to Nursebetty2007's topic in Excelsior College

    I wanted to use Achieve Test Prep but my monthly payment would have been around $300! That's not including the enrollment fees and testing fees at Excelsior. During months that I am testing, my total...

  6. Microbiology Exam

    Heavenly4505 replied to mochasouter's topic in Excelsior College

    mochasouter, I studied for A&P for about a month. I did not study every day, though. I think you would be ok if you use StudyGroup 101. I did not even buy the textbook for the

  7. Loving my new Hospice LVN position

    Heavenly4505 replied to hmiller621's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am so happy to see your post about this. At this exact moment, I am sitting here thinking about how much I HATE my LTC job. I love my residents, don't get me wrong, but the stress is unbelievable. I...

  8. Microbiology Exam

    Heavenly4505 replied to mochasouter's topic in Excelsior College

    Congrats! I just completed the A&P exam last Thursday. Got an "A" on that one but I've had an A&P class at the college level before, too, so it was really just review. Unfortunately, it was...

  9. Career vs Family vs Economy

    Heavenly4505 replied to QuishaRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked full-time 3-11 2nd shift, and I too have 2 young children (8 and 7, so mine are school age). I HATED it. It's the worst shift ever when you have kids at home, especially once they start...

  10. Best RN jobs to have more time for children/family

    Heavenly4505 replied to babblingbrook's topic in Nursing Career

    I have the same problem. I'm a LPN, and my first job when I passed my NCLEX was at a LTC facility working 12 hour night shifts (7P-7A). The scheduling wasn't too bad. I worked 2 in a row, then had 3...

  11. 2nd shift vs. 3rd shift

    Heavenly4505 replied to kennybania's topic in Psychiatric

    Back in my younger days, I preferred second shift because I didn't have to get up early. However, now as a mother of 2 school age kids, I HATE second shift! The only time I see my kids is for about...

  12. just registered for 8 week health safety class!!!!

    Heavenly4505 replied to carlas216's topic in Excelsior College

    Hi mochasouter. The A & P is an overwhelming wealth of information. It can be a little difficult to know exactly how to approach the material. I use the study guide that Excelsior provides as a...

  13. just registered for 8 week health safety class!!!!

    Heavenly4505 replied to carlas216's topic in Excelsior College

    So how does this work? I know you have to enroll in the college to register for the classes. Just wondering if you have to take more than one at a time to be considered eligible for financial aid?...

  14. Excelsior College offering online college courses!

    Heavenly4505 replied to tommys girl's topic in Excelsior College

    Hmmmm that doesn't show up on mine. Maybe because I'm not actually "enrolled" as a student? I created a log-in so that I could take the first test without enrolling, which Excelsior allows you to

  15. Excelsior College offering online college courses!

    Heavenly4505 replied to tommys girl's topic in Excelsior College

    Where did you find this info at? That is GREAT news! I am currently studying to challenge the A&P exam (I took the course but it was over 5 years ago, which is their new rule). I also have to...

  16. Cost of BSN

    Heavenly4505 replied to mgalano's topic in Chamberlain College

    I've heard of some a lot cheaper than that. But I've heard of some that are more expensive,

  17. Achieve Prep

    Heavenly4505 replied to tanisha78's topic in LPN to RN

    I checked in to Achieve Test Prep a month or so ago. Extremely expensive! The quote they gave me would have been over $200 per month just for their "loan" payment! Plus you still have to pay...

  18. I feel like a FAILURE, what do I do now?

    Heavenly4505 replied to petluvr's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You can always just tell them that the job wasn't a good fit, without going in to too much detail. You don't want to make yourself incompetent, but you also don't want to run the facility down to the...

  19. Interview with "Inappropriate" Questions

    Heavenly4505 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello everyone, I have been a LPN for two years and have worked in both home health and long term care. I've decided to try a new avenue with my career and have been applying to some physician's...

  20. Interview with "Inappropriate" Questions

    Heavenly4505 replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Well, it's not the fact that she asked me if I have children that has me upset (although it's illegal and should not have been brought up at the interview). It's the fact that she went on to say she...

  21. finally hit the one year mark! new decisions need to be made...

    Heavenly4505 replied to froggy8's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would say put them down. Most of the places I've interviewed at have asked me if it's ok to contact all my references. I have, at different times, explained to them that I did not want my current...

  22. Interview with "Inappropriate" Questions

    Heavenly4505 replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, I don't feel comfortable about this position. I did not volunteer any information about having children, a spouse, etc. She asked, "Can you be flexible with your work schedule? Can you work...

  23. Interview question

    Heavenly4505 replied to RJay25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know this post is about a month old, but I just had this EXACT same thing happen to me today at an interview. I'm a LPN, and I interviewed at a physician's office today. The practice manager (who is...

  24. Interview with "Inappropriate" Questions

    Heavenly4505 replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you dah doh! I answered her question when she asked if I could be flexible with my work schedule. But like I said, she then bluntly and directly said to me, "Do you have children?" She then...

  25. Interview with "Inappropriate" Questions

    Heavenly4505 replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you Katieerin. That's what I'm thinking, too. I actually did not realize the questions were illegal until I was talking with my brother after the interview, and he told me to check in to it. I...
