4. Would you tell the family?

   kristylee replied to MedicalZebra's topic in Medical-Surgical

6. LVN/RN dilemma

   kristylee replied to dzook's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I think in your situation that it would be a good idea for you to go to school for the LVN and then transition to RN when your hubby gets back. I have a friend who has been an LVN for about 1 year and...

9. I quit my job (long)

   kristylee replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    kristylee replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    The school I'm going to is only $10,000 and and is 11 months. There is a 2+ year waiting list to get into the RN program, so I figured I'd take the LPN/LVN route and then transition into the RN...
