Oh my gosh, I forgot all about looking into this and your information is very informative. Thank you so much!

Good luck with whatever path you may choose. Might I suggest one that you probably haven't thought of? It sounds as though part of your idenity (go to person, problem solver, decision maker, caretaker and protector) would fit beautifully as a Skill...

I have learned that there are reasons for everything. You dodged a bullet, I'll bet you get a fabulous offer from somewhere else in the near future. Good luck and GREAT job on your professionalism.

"Ask and you shall receive".... I asked for my life once and he blessed me by letting me keep it. I figure I've used up my requests so now all I do is thank him A LOT for His patience with me.

In-service director, wound care specialist, or if you really like organizational / management type things go to the (usually) three day training session and take the state board to be a Skilled Nursing Facility Administrator (usually about $80,000 pe...

I have a friend who took the LPN program twice. He passed and has since gone on to be a wonderful nurse. Anything worth having is worth working for.

Also, as a former DON I used to have my own special question. If someone said they worked at XYZ Hospital I would reply, "Oh, did you happen to know Dr. ABC?" If they replied yes their resume went into the trash when they left my office ~ Dr. ABC d...

Henry Ford in Detroit only hires RNs unless things have changed since I was there (fabulous place to work ~ physicians actually respect nurses). Also there are about seven hospitals in that immediate area. Pontiac Osteopathic Hospital and North Oak...

Yes, I agree with all of you. I know of a former acquaintance who proudly boasted that she was going to the University of Michigan for her MASTERS degree in nursing. In truth she was an LPN who was going to school elsewhere working on her EVENTUAL ...

OK, just a few comments for you: First of all, you are NOT taking A & P for the 3rd time...you are taking it for the FIRST time. High school A & P and A & P for LPNs are two different classes ~ nice to have the background but you are no...

I had one little old lady who had VERY long sharp nails dig them into my wrist as hard as she could. I knew her MO so as badly as it hurt I stared at her right back and told her she wasn't hurting me so she could quit whenever she wanted. It ticked...

My son is studying for the TEAs test in St. Pete. If you go to myPTEC.com it will bring you to the St. Pete College site. Click on nursing and follow it through ~ it will give you information on how and where to buy a study guide for it. Also chec...

People don't go into many careers because they "love" it ~ they go into them because it puts bread on the table and a roof over their head, especially divorced women with children who do not want to work one job at McDonald's and another shift at Bur...

Well, let's put it this way. When I returned to school I was 38 with two children and newly divorced. No car and the place I went had an average of 300 inches of snow a year. I walked everywhere, worked in a bar until two a.m. and had to be in cla...

swsrn and all of you new grads out there, will you please at least look unto the service? (again, i am not a recruiter!!!) to me the air force is the best. you will get a job as an officer going in. google around and found out about the pay rates...

The jobs are out there, you just have to look. One of the biggest problems is the economy. Hospitals charge a lot of money for services, HOWEVER, even though they are making money they lose a lot of money on medicaid especially with so many patient...

Your LPN license is valid from the date that is on it and will expire by the date that is on it. LPN / RN licenses expire at different times in different states. You will have to take so many continuing credits per year to renew it. For example: ...

You are correct, I did mean to say Lackland ~ However, I LOVE NCIS and watch way too much of it....can't get Langley off my mind :) !!! (Gotta love Jethro and the crew)

ManorCare is an HCR facility which is a nursing home. There are many of them in the North Carolina area depending on where you are going to live. Nursing Homes (or Skilled Nursing Facilities) are always hiring LPNs, especially for midnight shift. ...

First of all, yes you can put your loans on deferment. However, have you considered the service (NO I AM NOT A RECRUITER)? I was going into the Air Force (decided not to because of my children) ~ they will take a BSN up to the age of 46 yrs. old, H...

Bless you my darling ~ you have found the right career and the right setting. They need us, more than most know. We are their family. I started my nursing career in a "nursing home" (now skilled nursing facilities). When I was in school 15 years...
