It took me about 72 hours to find out my results. I don't know where you live or how your state board is set up but take a look at your state board site. If you have a link to verify licensces click on that and enter you name. It will either come back with a licensce number or a statement ststing something with regards of "testing pending". Good luck !!!!!:smiley_aa

Yes !!! We are all nurses I am an RN But I consider LPN"S nurses too we may have slightly different job "descriptions" but we are murses

I too worked as a CNA before i became a nurse ........... I found it very helpful, you will be so far ahead of those that don't have that experience GO FOR IT !!! I agree with all the post that say you will have more respect for and work better with your co-workers GOOD LUCK !!!!!!

YES !!!! I have only been a nurse since January. Where I work now appreciates it's employees .............. and thats half the battle, that is not to say that there are not days where I am very stressed and find patients that will stretch your patience, over all I am glad I choose nursing. while you are in school and doing your clinicals find out where you want to work. Finding the right hospital and specialty area to work is the other half of the battle. I work high risk OB and love it and my bosses !!

WOW !!!! I really don't know what to tell ya. I don't work in the cardiac field. I would tell the cardiologist just what you said here, it sounds like new medicines need to be tried to futher stabilize her. It makes it very hard when living in a rural area to get the care and answers you need. Keep searching until you get the answers you need and feel good about. I know from personal experience you have to keep looking and demand answers. There are good doctors and bad doctors, advocate for you and your mom until you get the right answers. Sorry I was'nt any more help, hope all goes well.

I agree ............... Stick to your principles !!! The patients deserve it !!

Yes there are more opprotunities as an RN. Again congrats and good luck !!!! Keep us posted as to how you are doing ..............

I graduated from Gateway community college in Dec 2003 .... I did it working full time and going to school full time YES it is not going to be a piece of cake but with the support of your husband, family and friends YOU CAN DO IT !!! Yes you don't have a life for awhile, but the end result will be worth it. I don't have any children so that part was easier for me but a lot of my class mates did and with good support they did fine. Literally, take it one day at a time, if you look at the big picture to much it gets very overwhelming. Play the games you are asked to play to make it through, ignore the politics, accept a C as a good grade find a study group that wants to study, stay focused and you will do fine !! Good luck and Congratulations !!

Maricopa community colleges have a program that will finish in a year ...........as far as starting salaries are 34,000 - 38,000 but it all depends on who you work for........ Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAY TO GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CONGRATULAYIONS !!!!!!! Now it is time to celebrate and relax before the real hard work begins !!!!! Let us know how the job hunting goes .............. I love being out on the floor, I think you will too !!!

No problem. By our works shall we be known .......... People will see a difference in us as well as our convictions just by kiving as christ lived. I have had the wonderful experience of someone asking me if I was a christian; when I replied YES, they said they could tell because I was "different" if we allow God to work through us people will notice. or actions will speak louder then words sometimes .............

I firmly feel as you do ....... God rose from the dead and is our salvation; but your words come across hateful and condeming, an attitude that turns people away rather than reaching them. Tolerance and prayer is what is needed here. I realize you may not mean it but you come across as someone who has no love or compassion for those that don't believe as you do. Use your passion for prayer rather than attack and Gods work and word will go much further.

First off congrats on your boards !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I too was a vet tech for 13 years before becoming a nurse I to can see both sides and also feel we don't need to be so hateful about it ...............

For those of you that have not had a good experience in church ......... I am sorry. I only wish that people could experience what I have over the years. Though far from perfect, being we are humans, I have found love, support and an extended family in most places I have been. I know you can have peace in your life with out having jesus in your life but for me, knowing I have someone on my side that loves me for all my mistakes and sin without judgeing makes my life that much more wonderful. I find it amazing that someone would love me somuch as to make the choice to die for me. I know the concept of "Loves the sinner and hates the sin" is a hard concept to believe in ................ But for me it speaks volumes. I speak for myself, christ death on the cross was the greatest gift of his love for me.
