  1. Roll Call, LPN to RN Students!!!

    Marie13 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in LPN to RN

    Hello allnurses, I'm an LVN for a year now in a skilled nursing facility. I've been working in healthcare for about 5 to six years now and I love it. I'm hoping to further my career before I have...

  2. LVN-BSN /West Coast University

    Marie13 replied to kerybery83's topic in LPN to RN

    Well, what is easy for one may be difficult for another, I personally got 87%, but they stated that most don't pass it until the 2nd

  3. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Marie13 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree. But there are all kinds of different nurses out there, nurses that just made it through school and might have gotten lucky on passing and nurses that really studied so they can know what is...

  4. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

  5. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    Marie13 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I work in LTC, and we have to "use our time wisely" because we are in charge of a million things and must be done within 8 hours. I hate when we get interrupted during our med pass! Seriously! I also...

  6. What type of lifestyle can a nurse afford?

    Marie13 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Definately affordable once you earn RN salary, and spend your money

    Marie13 replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think that nursing is so difficult, your patient came first and the family saw it. Kudos to you! I think the best part of nursing is when your patients, supervisors and families acknowledge your...

  8. New RN needs advice

    Marie13 replied to car2614's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats! I have some relatives that work at acute hospitals ( I work at a SNF), and they say it's good once you got your foot in the door. I'm sure you will be able to move around as long as you tell...

  9. Coworker issues - so disheartening

    Marie13 replied to rn865's topic in General Nursing

    I think there is always that "one person" or maybe "few" in a work place that you need to be careful with. You always have to watch what you say, do and everything, even when you do, they will make up...

  10. LVN-BSN /West Coast University

    Marie13 replied to kerybery83's topic in LPN to RN

    They don't just accept anybody, you have to pass the HESI entrance exam with 80% or above. Anyway, WCU is not for everybody. End of

  11. Is there a waiting list for the LVN-RN bridge program in California?

  13. LVN-BSN /West Coast University

    Marie13 replied to kerybery83's topic in LPN to RN

    JBEYE, I think that WCU is not for everyone, obviously. Some people just can't qualify for the loans or have many other financial responsibilities that paying about $1500 a month for a school loan, is...

  15. How much "easier" or "harder" is the RN-BSN once you get your ADN?

    Marie13 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

  16. Positive experiences in LTC?

    Marie13 replied to joanna73's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, it looks better on your resume to have acute experience. I work in a SNF and it is my first job as LVN. I was so overwhelmed at first, but now I've learned to do things faster, time management...

  17. HELP! Newly RN, poor clinical background, where do i start

    Marie13 replied to willowRN's topic in International Nursing

    Don't feel bad, I think most new grads feel the same way, unless you went to the best school in the world and have faced every clinical situation ever, so that would be impossible. You will be quicker...

    Marie13 replied to jofapcastillo's topic in General Nursing

  22. Bachelors versus Associates in nursing?

  24. Surgical Tech and then RN??

    Marie13 replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should definately just do straight RN. I got my LVN first, because I just couldn't go to RN school at the time. You can also get your LVN and work and earn more money while going for your...
