    Fastest Option for LPN to CRNA in Florida

    lifelearningrn replied to aramis2121's topic in Florida Nursing

    Don't get too far ahead of yourself.. take it one step at a time. Programs change and your goals may change. I've read that in a few years, you'll need to have a doctorate degree to be a NP.. so...

    Advice on whether apply as a second major or as a transfer

    lifelearningrn replied to peanutface's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you know this is exactly what you want to do- I'd stop wasting time and money on classes you don't need and start taking some nursing prereqs.. If you don't have a degree and you're transferring to...

    Want to resign outright. What happens?

    lifelearningrn replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was thinking the same thing. OP, you've made your choice. If you don't want to continue working there, and are not worried about the consequences, then quit. Your license is more important than...

    Job offers after months of nothing/zip/zilch/nada/zero

    lifelearningrn replied to JoblessNewGradRN's topic in General Nursing

    Take the straight offer. Hospital 'B' isn't a set offer.. Hospital 'A' is banging down your door! I'd go with A all the

    Lost high school transcripts

    lifelearningrn replied to Rangerjoe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can see a school losing transcripts from the 50s.. but in the 90s? This is definitely something that will take a little investigating and persistence on your part. The college isn't really at...

    Want to resign outright. What happens?

    lifelearningrn replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How long have you been there? If only a few months, that alone is going to look bad on a resume.. If you get a "no" on rehire eligibility as well.. it's a double whammy. How long did you stay at...

    Pre-Req's

    lifelearningrn replied to Krystalia's topic in General Students

    I agree with this statement... and for my class anyway.. there hasn't been nearly as much anatomy as there has been physiology. The bulk of anatomy we've done this semester is the different parts of...

    anyone else experience burnout before nursing school?

    lifelearningrn replied to oklahomagal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved my intro to film (we called it intro to motion pictures).. that was a fun class! Enjoyed my histories too!! This semester I'm taking stats (which shockingly I'm loving), A/P1, Nutrition and...

    anyone else experience burnout before nursing school?

    lifelearningrn replied to oklahomagal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a dork.. I love being in school. I had to take the summer off and I was so bummed all summer.. couldn't wait to get back into it. It helps that the past couple of semesters I've taken classes I...

    It's definitely too late to apply for any of the area programs for spring '11.. for BSN or ADN... think about getting your apps ready NOW for starting in the

    fighting slave wages! for home care /direct care workers

    lifelearningrn replied to thomasbrooks07's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This really seems to me to be an issue of finding a better paying job. The 'sleep over' shifts seem to fall under a flat rate or salary type thing... (perhaps they expect you will be asleep most of...

    Has A & P been difficult for you? I feel really dumb!

    lifelearningrn replied to Butterfly0328's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am older too (38) and while I find the sciences hard.. I've found after taking a few of them they get more manageable. Once you get used to the way sciences classes are and the way the tests are...

    how will health care reform impact the nursing job market?

    lifelearningrn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    People will be able to go to the doctor because they will be carrying insurance! The money to pay nurses will come from the same place it always has. Again, this isn't about FREE health care... but...

    how will health care reform impact the nursing job market?

    lifelearningrn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    First of all- health care reform isn't about FREE health care.. How can you conclude 'people will just keep using the ED for their primary'? That nothing will change? You have no way know knowing...

    Prerequisites for accelerated BSN program

    lifelearningrn replied to ricky75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Usually an ABSN or DEMSN requite a BS in another field. Along with that you'll likely need all the usual suspects like A&P 1 + 2, Micro, Nutrition, Stats, Chem, Lifespan.. and maybe even a few...

    how will health care reform impact the nursing job market?

    lifelearningrn replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I think our health care system is broken. This reform is an attempt to fix it, or at least get it working better. All I can say is AT LEAST SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING. All this fear mongering going...

    after all the horor stories.. here's a good one.

    lifelearningrn replied to paramed1's topic in General Students

    I think just like in social situations you don't always click with a person, you're not always going to click with an instructor. It's human nature to sometimes automatically like/dislike someone....

    No wonder we are getting nursing students who are only in it for $

    lifelearningrn replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think 30-40k is bad for entry into a profession.. As one gains experience the salary raises.. as it should be with any profession. My sister is an ADN and makes more than the median pay rate...

    No wonder we are getting nursing students who are only in it for $

    lifelearningrn replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

    My point is to that end, EVERY nurse is 'in it' for a paycheck.. whether they are passionate about it or not. First of all, it's up to US to decide what a good professional fit is. Advertising isn't...

    No wonder we are getting nursing students who are only in it for $

    lifelearningrn replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

    When you take into consideration that an one can become an RN with as little as 2 years of school (more often 3).. the median pay of 60k+ is pretty darn good, if you ask me. I think, as with any...
