PunkinLPN

I feel the same way. I just signed up to get my degree in business management...I'm just tired of nursing...done it for 10 years and I'm done....They work you like a dog and show no appreciation. Most companies don't show their employees that they are appreciated...giving me a $1 pen that says we care isn't doing it for me...so if join the trader club....lol

where are you located at?

I hade LPN's when I delivered here in VA...they tried to get me to come work at the hospital..and they were in post partum

Only at one place where I worked did they let you go out and meet the patient and family. Then you were able to decide if you want to take the case

There is a LPN school on MIlitary highway in Norfolk...Centura (something like that)...look into that one

Why don't you look into Navy

LPN was supposed to be my stepping stone to RN (all I had left to do was my clinicals for RN)....but then life happened...so here I am 4 kids later and still a LPN.... Some people try to make you feel bad for not getting your RN...but hey I still make good money and I don't care what they say. I have been a LPN for 9 years... I decided to go back to school not for RN but for Medical Business Admin. You do what is good for you and your family. I get it a lot that we are not nurses but the last time I checked the state considers me a nurse and I sure work my butt off as a nurse

Did you or could you go back and write a late nurses note? You can do that to CYA

If you don't have a family I would say go for it ...If you do have one I would say what is best for all of you as a whole....If you don't want to sell your house you could always rent it out and have it as a back up incase things don't work out. I have a house in Delaware and I live in VA (military spouse)... I didn't sell it but I still needed to move....I'm one that would pick up and move

i was thinking sat. also for the same reason

The only one I know with the Baylor Program was Ruxton of Williamsburg....it has a new name now but if yoou look for it in the yellowpages.com it will still come up. I did that shift there and you do get paid a little more ...like 19

I can't find a good job down here in VA...I took a $6/hr pay cut when I moved down here.

It's around $17-18 agency and nursing home...hospitals IDK The pay sucks in VA!!!!!~!

Just a little tidbit... The best thing to do when you first come out of nursing school is to work in a hospitial either full time or PRN if you can.... You will learn sooo much
