I would like some info regarding this community college in East Texas!! Have you or somone you know attended either program? Is it difficult to get in? Tuition reasonable? Pre-req's seem doable-Chem 1405, Biol 2401 and 2402, Psch 2301. They have a br...

Hey, you've said it all!! You're in NURSING SCHOOL and they always teach us techniques that we sometimes never use in the "real world" Don't worry about it, just git 'er done!! Good luck!!

I am so sorry to hear about your hearing loss. Would you be interested in working in a clinical setting? Research nursing? I think there are a lot of different opportunities you could look into. Or hey-I'd tell mgt and my coworkers my new predicamen...

Are there not community colleges or technical colleges with LVN/LPN programs in your area? I'm an LVN and I paid less than $6000 for a 15 month program at a technical college. I'd investigate other programs-there's got to be an excellent, affordabl...

Charge nurse? I'm eyeing an LVN position at "a highly progressive short term medical and rehab facility". It's 12 hour shifts-new for me since I've worked 8 to 5 clinical positions most of my career. I'm looking for a change and more money!! But seri...

I know you're questioning about working day shifts, but what about nursing school itself? My classes started at 7AM. All my clinicals were 6AM to 3 PM!!! Just something you should think about.......

Prayer, Mani/Pedi's, facials, go to gym 5 days per week, try to eat healthy and laughter!!!! I leave my job at the door!!!

Hi AdalynnsMom09 There is an IV certification seminar in Dallas scheduled for October 28, 2010 at Methodist Charleton Medical Center. Contact info: Perivascular Nurse Consultants (Gannett Education) 800-866-0919. Hope this helps!!

I've never been disrespected by an RN, MA or MD-at least to my face- BECAUSE I don't allow them to. Keep your head up. If you walk around looking, acting and feeling "less than" you'll be treated that way. Show them what you're working with!! I am an...

Hi Linda, I truly know how you feel!! I completed LPN school 8 years ago but I remember the fear, stress, unsureness, terror, fatigue, incompetency you're probably feeling at this time. :chair: Kudos for getting into a study group-this is totally wha...

Performing duties in the capacity of a licensed professional and signing off on them-This is on a totally different level than a loved one, church member, grandmother,etc. "nursing a loved one back to health.

Yes, I'm an LVN hoping to bridge if I can find a program that fits my needs. The school in Kansas (Pratt Community College) with the on-line bridge requires that students come to campus 4 times for the program. This can vary but of course I can make ...

I've heard MANY docs introduce the MA's as "my nurse" so I don't think the MA's are being pressured by the docs-I think the docs are at fault for allowing and accepting and promoting this-especially in the clinics. I'm an LVN and MA's are taking over...

ITA with caliotter3. You talked too much!! I would have mentioned applying for the other position and nothing further....bad mouthing a manager during an interview WITH HR???!!! I admire you for defending other nurses, and finding the manager unprof...

Thanks TXRN2B13-What other programs are you interested in? I've checked DNI and they are too expensive and unaccredited-so they would be my last resort. El Centro College wants med-surg job experience prior to admittance-which I don't have. I'm looki...

Congratulations jommit52!!!!! :ancong!: Remember to be positive, ask questions if you're unsure about anything, earn the respect and trust of your CNA's and they will respect you, AND; this may not be your first choice or your "dream" job but it's yo...

No I haven't called them-wanted to talk with someone whose actually done or is doing the program first. I'm not ready to attend just yet but I'm trying to find out about several programs to find the right fit!!

Welcome Rachelle! Cogratulations with completing nursing school and good luck taking the NCLEX!! :wlcmhnds:

I'm currently an LVN interested in attending an ADN program that is not accredited. I've read several posts that seem to discourage attendance to these programs. I do plan to further my education so I'm wondering how non-accreditation could affect ac...

WOW!! I've called Dallas, TX and OKC campuses-and they've referred me to the Tulsa campus-and all I want to know are the pre-req's needed to apply and enroll in the AS program. It's like talking to the Secret Service. Can anyone provide info for me?!...

Sorry, but this was 8 years ago. My first LPN job was LTC (3-11). I was hired during my last week of school and started externing 2 days after graduation. This was in Louisiana. But keep the faith and keep your options open!!! Also, if you are offere...

Thank you for thoroughly answering what I was wondering about. This sounds like an intense program for 13 months!! Are the courses BSN transferable? And I've noticed you're in Texas, TheCommuter. Do you have dual licensure-OK and TX?

Thanks you -TheCommuter- for your response. No A&P I and II, no Pathophysiology, no English comp??? I'm not sure if I should be thrilled because I'm more curious than ever!! I bet the cost is way up there!!

I would LOVE to do PH but as an LVN, the pay would not be great. I've been an LVN for 8 years- no hospital experience and no desire to work in the hospital!! But the chance to work with the public, immunizations, well-baby clinic, STD, Family plannin...

Do all of the residents go to church? If not, pass meds to the residents that don't attend service between 4-5pm and then pass meds to the others during dinner (5-6pm). Or address the request for time change with DON. I don't see a problem since it's...
