    Where does the public get the idea that nurses make a ton of money?

    lifelearningrn replied to edogs334's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You can make a decent living for having received an associate's degree in nursing. I think a lot of people see it that way. Investment bankers and other big companies that pay well likely require...

    Prereq! Will they ask to see diploma

    lifelearningrn replied to suchadoll318's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I looked a little into your CC and it seems that they have an open door policy allowing students to enroll without a diploma or GED. You do have to take placement test to see if they are going to put...

    can I get licensed?

    lifelearningrn replied to iamanon's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I really think it depends on what state you are in, how long ago the crimes were committed, etc. Some states may not allow drug offenders a license.. while others will on a case by case basis. Good...

    lifelearningrn replied to suchadoll318's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Mandatory cut-off age for being a bedside nurse?

    lifelearningrn replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Wow- 10+ years makes that much of a difference or do you feel like you had trouble picking it up at 40 something too? I'm genuinely curious being a nontraditional age

    Mandatory cut-off age for being a bedside nurse?

    lifelearningrn replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, wasn't the whole creation of retirement to take people out of the workforce so the baby boomers could have jobs? We've come full circle and people are 'expecting' the baby boomers to retire...

    AAS-LPN/ Confused!

    lifelearningrn posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm curious about the associate degree LPNs. Don't LPN have a more limited scope and less pay? Isn't an associates degree about the same amount of time in school? I was under the impression that LPN...

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

    lifelearningrn replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In Texas, the core curriculum for a BA/BS in anything includes these so-called fluff classes. My comp 2 professor was a huge fan of Faulkner, and required a couple different papers on his stories....

    The College Network

    lifelearningrn replied to Jartu's topic in Washington Nursing

    Am I understanding correctly?? The purpose of these companies is to prepare you to test out of classes (CLEP) with an exam. Basically self study, test, and the class is over? Do you do this for all...

    LPN to ASN Programs- Description and Differences

    I think all the programs you mention are for-profit colleges which are probably not the most economical route to take. Do you have a local community college with a bridge

    lifelearningrn replied to afuiyigtiwh's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First I would speak to the dean about the circumstances of your semester and appeal the decision to drop you from the program. Also, apply to other programs. My sister (been an RN for 25 years)...

    lifelearningrn replied to ST MeLa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In Texas you can do an 'academic fresh start' where you can start from scratch and wipe your record clean. The problem with this is that it is an all or nothing deal, you can't pick and choose what...

    lifelearningrn replied to RedXIII_'s topic in General Nursing

    I personally don't mind tatoos, though I'll probably never get one. Having said that, I don't think they look very professional when they are in places that aren't covered (wrist would fit that mold)....

    lifelearningrn replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry but I disagree with a lot of this statement. Having a weight problem (especially when one gains during pregnancy) and smoking, doing drugs, drinking, etc.. is NOT the same thing. These are...
