    Vocational nurse training cost???

    lifelearningrn replied to Ikram29's topic in California Nursing

    $33,008? I'd say this is beyond expensive for an LVN program. Have you looked at public

    lifelearningrn replied to momtojosh's topic in General Students

    Wow- I have never heard of writing papers as grade padding before. Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy to never have to write another academic paper again, but how is something so foundational to...

    Social Media, worth it or not?

    lifelearningrn replied to New 2 iceeYouRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I keep my facebook locked down. I don't even put an actual picture on my profile... the only people who can view photos, wall posts or anything else have to be on my friends list. From all the BS...

    HELP PLEASE!!! Low NLN entrance test scores --how can I improve them

    lifelearningrn replied to BioGirl 11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being that this is an informal message board, I believe many people write informally without worrying too much about spelling and grammar... myself included. Further, I have a terrible time zipping...

    Panicked!!! HIV/AIDS, HepB, HepC risk?

    lifelearningrn replied to rntobeme's topic in General Nursing

    Come on. People get pin sticks all the time. pins come out of button down shirts, one can easily get stuck. How about safety pins. You can not live your life in fear that any little pin prick...

    Panicked!!! HIV/AIDS, HepB, HepC risk?

    lifelearningrn replied to rntobeme's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly think you're over-reacting. This wasn't a needle used on the patient.. it was a pin. I'd say the chance that the pin pricked someone with one of these diseases first is less than 1 in a...

    HELP PLEASE!!! Low NLN entrance test scores --how can I improve them

    lifelearningrn replied to BioGirl 11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry it didn't work out like you'd hoped. Test anxiety is not uncommon and can really affect your scores. There is usually a councilor that can help with that.. go to your school's student center...

    B.S.N. vs. Biology? Which one is more challenging?

    lifelearningrn replied to bree*'s topic in General Nursing

    I think, generally speaking, someone who has finished a BS degree in Biology will have an easier time in a nursing program. I have nothing to back that up other than a strong background in the...

    Pay cut for more flexible schedule

    lifelearningrn replied to missgigius's topic in General Nursing

    The reduced cost of benefits really makes up a huge amount of the difference. I'm sure you can cut a little of something out of your budget to make up the rest. I say go for it. Good

    Nurse or Nanny?

    lifelearningrn replied to HappyGo1's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah- that is what it sounds like. They will issue an I-9 instead of a W-2 at the end of the year. You will be responsible to pay taxes up front to the IRS. It sucks! You should definitely run away-...

    Kind of funny story- not exactly on topic but kind of related (maybe) I was in my A&P lab discussing with another student my goal to get into nursing school. It is also what she is working...

    Nurse or Nanny?

    lifelearningrn replied to HappyGo1's topic in General Nursing

    7 days a week, no benefits, getting paid below your qualifications, and being treated like a nanny by not only the baby's parent but also the agency. I'd be running as fast as I could in the other...

    lifelearningrn replied to Tela's topic in General Nursing

    lifelearningrn replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You draw the line wherever you want to. I don't disagree that it should be up to the parent (unless they truly are refusing life-saving treatment for their child)- I'm just saying that personally, I...
