Hi everyone;) I passed my nclex-pn 12/10/10 woohoo! ... Now i'm starting to realize most employers (or at least here in Miami) are looking for candidates with at least 1+ years exp. It's highly frustrating... how can I meet this requirement without ...

Good evening everyone... just wondering if anyone on allnurses has attended Barry U for the lpn to bsn track or even the entry-level track, feedback would be nice. What was your schedule like? Tuition? Clinical sites/hours? I plan to visit them soon ...

Very interested in EC and have a few questions about their program (their website is not user friendly lol) 1)Where are the general education credit exams/ nursing exams taken? from what I understand so far, at a local pearson VUE testing center? 2) ...

Hello to all. I'm currently working FT as a practical nurse. I'm debating whether I should go into a ASN or BSN granting program. I think it would be easier to work FT through an asn program, then earn a bachelors online. Nova is also a school i'm co...

We all know of the strain on new grad nurses. I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not I should try to get into a ASN degree granting program or a BSN one. I've also noticed that in my area (Miami) the hourly salary for LPN's and RN's alike ha...

I hope to put my PN license to use soon for the advantages! (sigh)

Thank you everyone for the helpful posts :) Quiet patty were almost on the same boat, received my pn license Dec. '10 still nothing. Something is bound to open up for us! Where are you looking for jobs? (cities)

You are ABSOLUTELY right. It's all about connections....

I too am having one of those "this is hopeless" days... have been actively searching for an LPN job here in Miami for oh about 3 -4 months now.. I found an ad on a local job board and gave them a call as instructed. The recruiter answers and asks do ...

I feel your pain. I too passed my pn boards in Dec. 2010. I have applied everywhere within a25 mile radius from my home ever since.Not a call back to date. I'm also considering leaving the nursing game. I thought to myself well maybe if I had a bsn I...

I was so sure I was going to have an lpn job when I graduated because of my family ties.Pfft! My original plan was to get my PN license and comfortably (financially) continue to get my bachelors, my masters whatever my little heart desired.. Now goin...

I haven't even had the oppurtunity to be interviewed. I got my license about a month ago and have been applying EVERYWHERE... It's really discouraging to think of all the hardships i've been through in nursing school and whatnot and not even be consi...

Great replys everyone thumbs up! adn's/adn's who are having trouble looking for work .. not the first time i've heard of it can you guys tell me what states your in?

Hi guys I'm having a hard tme deciding whether or not I should go straight into a bachelor degree granting program vs. associates. I am a new pn grad. Eventually want to earn a masters but I'm not sure which route to go. I was thinking it would be mo...

I will be visiting as many LTC's/ SNF's as I can next week but can anyone give me advice on applying. Is it proper to ask for the don? or can I just ask the receptonist? totally lost but thanks in advance to all that post :)

Thanks so much for posting!

Or it seems... i'm a new pn grad and I always told myself that as soon as I graduated I would hop on to an lpn-rn bridge as soon as I could. Looking over some (relatively new) posts about RN's having a hard time time finding a job is scary. You can't...

Thank you's to everyone else for their helpful post's

Wow thanks for your stellar advice! I didn't put any thought whatsoever into becoming an RN!.... seriously if this is all ya got please take it somewhere else.Cheers

Hi everyone, I'm looking for an alternative to taking pre-reqs at a brick and mortar institution. The best online university I could find was APUS American Public University Systems. They are both regionally and nationally accredited. Has anyone take...

Thank you guys a bunch:yeah: looking forward to starting at EC!

Also for the pre reqs for example when they say social/sciences/history min. 6 credits does it have to be life span developmental psychology and foundations of gerontology or are they giving us an example? Meaning I can take any social science/ hist...

Hi all thank goodness for allnurses.com finding out a wealth of new info each day. I'm interested in EC however the only thing in my way is the financials... Does the adn,asn qualify for financial aid? stafford loans?

Hi all I have a question for any of you that are currently in/graduated from Keiser University. If you had to take your prereqs there how much were the start up costs? Books fees etc? Thanks in advance

I am a recent PN grad with aspirations to specialize in anesthesia. I'm considering keiser career college as an option for the lpn-rn bridge where all my gen-ed prereqs will be taken (since I have none). Problem is gen eds may not be seen as accredit...
