  1. What is the worst hardship/story you have ever seen/heard in your nursing career?

    LVN2RNMom replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to add the vet did this after losing his job when the real estate market crashed. He had plenty of pictures of his "old days" and he was once a very handsome man with a beautiful fiancé who...

    LVN2RNMom replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    During sub-acute clinicals there were several heart felt stories....like the beautiful, young mother pregnant with her 1st baby now in a seizured out due to pre-eclampsia, several of the men there...

  3. How much was your lpn program?

    LVN2RNMom replied to joyfullpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Ok, relax! Your comments aren't necessary. What I said is exactly what I meant. I didn't qualify for ANY aid thus I have loans & school debt. You can easily go back & read the posts. I wasn't...

  4. How much was your lpn program?

    LVN2RNMom replied to joyfullpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    To those who received government assistance, kudos to you but to the rest of us who had to work or hustle our way to pay for our degree then please don't knock us as we should be praised just the...

  5. Shoe Advice

    LVN2RNMom replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I got nurses shoes comparable to dansko but half the price at JC Penney's. I don't remember the brand & they feel fine. I do prefer tennis shoes

  6. How much was your lpn program?

    LVN2RNMom replied to joyfullpn's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    LVN is Southern California, graduated 2/2011 & my program was like $24,000. It's now close to $30,000. Whomever paid a lot less recently is VERY lucky. I'm now at a community college for LVN to RN...

  7. Trach care/suctioning

    LVN2RNMom replied to sarahjanelpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was taught that same as you & I'd never suction someone without the inner cannula. It's supposed to be done in a sterile environment. I may not be an expert but that doesn't even sound right to...

  8. Student Loan Options

    LVN2RNMom replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you & I am definitely going to look into this.i have my LVN loan and now that I am pursuing my RN, I have student loans for that too. It's hard but it is very hard to make it these days on 1...

  9. What has made you become more persistent?

    LVN2RNMom replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in General Nursing

    I am probably the most determined & motivated person I know. This is just my personality. I come from a long line of strong, beautiful women who showed me how a woman should be. I am independent,...

  10. Why I'm Leaving the Nursing field and Nursing School

    LVN2RNMom replied to sweetcaroline101's topic in General Nursing

    It all boils down to why you became a nurse in the 1st place. I wanted it so bad and waited nearly 20 yrs to get my LVN. Now I'm an LVN going for my RN & I'm 41. I can honestly say that I love...

  11. Disappointed, frustrated and slowly loosing my courage

    LVN2RNMom replied to darkbeauty's topic in LPN to RN

    Everybody handles things differently and I choose to wait 20 yrs to finally become a nurse. Maybe that's why I am so passionate about it & I am like a bull in a china shop when it comes to...

  12. Disappointed, frustrated and slowly loosing my courage

    LVN2RNMom replied to darkbeauty's topic in LPN to RN

    When it comes to my dreams, I don't focus on the negatives!!! Everything isn't going to be how you want or exactly how you'd like. So you will have a higher student loan debt but you will be an RN...

  13. housing ideas in west hills,ca

    LVN2RNMom replied to sweetgurly25's topic in Travel

    Check out Northridge. It's pretty decent in price & the area is ok. Calabasas is beautiful, close but pricey. West Hills is not West LA but the West San Fernando Valley. Canoga Park is close,...

  14. Wellness Screening (Part time) work

    LVN2RNMom replied to sgarden's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a nurse? Just asking cause you didn't say & since no one has offered help, I thought I would try. Now I don't live in Maryland but I'd look into the state specific page here on AN &...

  15. What's the best route to take to a nursing career?

    LVN2RNMom replied to MonikaY's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in a similar predicament so I feel your frustration. I'm doing my pre-req's at COC but they aren't an LACC. COC has their own LVN to RN program. I have yet to find a cost effective LVN to RN...

  16. Friend tells me she is diverting

    LVN2RNMom replied to Flennigan's topic in General Nursing

    If I were her, I'd turn myself in along with my license & wash my hands clean of him. I'd rather go thru whatever I had to do than deal with a manipulative piece of trash. I don't feel sorry for...

  17. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! I have been hired for 2 FT jobs.

    LVN2RNMom replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    Whichever insurance company that was well I hope they have excellent lawyers on staff. That's just ridiculous. How could the patients mother be responsible to do that kind of care? A lot of claims...

  18. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! I have been hired for 2 FT jobs.

    LVN2RNMom replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    As a nurse who did "insurance nursing" I will tell you a nurse LVN or RN can not legally deny claims as not medically necessary. We can only provide the documentation & give what we have received,...

  19. Please tell me why you dreamed of being a nurse from a young age

    LVN2RNMom replied to avhoney's topic in General Nursing

    My college major was history & law right out of high school. I freaked out at the thought of leaving home & had a friend who was a medical asst. I didn't know much about it and I ended up...

  20. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! I have been hired for 2 FT jobs.

    LVN2RNMom replied to litebrightgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    I did not like insurance "nursing". What the above posters are telling you is correct. Except you also are strapped to a desk, on production & you have big brother watching every key stroke. I...

  21. College of the Canyons

    LVN2RNMom replied to MaryDeeLVN's topic in School, College Programs

    LVN's who can pass the TEAS test, from my understanding. Many people have a hard time passing. Many LVN to RN programs have closed for various reasons but I hear one is cause LVN's have a hard time...

  22. College of the Canyons

    LVN2RNMom replied to MaryDeeLVN's topic in School, College Programs

    COC is a tough school that is held by higher standards than an LACC. I'm not knocking LACC schools as I have attended those as well. I'm just stating the facts. I would suggest to attend a nursing...

  23. LVN to RN

    LVN2RNMom replied to MaryDeeLVN's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm an LVN & I am taking my pre-req's at COC. COC has very high standards & this is different from Valley, Mission or Pierce (I also attended Mission & Pierce long ago). COC is not an LACC...

  24. Entering Nursing school but I'm having doubts & a lot of questions...

    LVN2RNMom replied to Peaches&Dreams's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a heads up but being a nurse does NOT exactly equate to financial stability. I work at a major hospital & the pay is not so great. Thank god I became a nurse cause my heart was in it, not my...

  25. Does anyone else feel pressure to get your RN?

    LVN2RNMom replied to nene71's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've never felt the pressure but I've always wanted to be an RN with a masters degree. So, it was always in my plan
