  1. There are a few old articles on the subject, so, I am hoping that there are many more in 2016. Anyone use straighter line and then go to western governors university? Kaplan/Brightwood?
  2. Please state what you know about 6 figure nursing specialties that are the least stressful Midwife? Cardiac certification? Ect.
  3. I have never been through the process, and have heard that its really intense. Since I am a new LPN, I would like to know if anyone knows of the easiest way to get that certification.
  4. Picked on at Work

    I recently got my first job as an LVN. I was very excited at first, but, now, three weeks into it, I am upset because I am being picked on by the staff. It is my first job as a nurse and I guess I hoped that they would be nicer to me. I am thinking o...

  10. For all nurses who have already gotten their first position after passing NCLEX. How many interviews did you get before landing the job? Did you send out more than 50 resumes before getting an interview? Any real life stories would help.
  11. Just wondering. So many RNs claim that they love being in GI. Just wondering if clinics/hospitals in California hire LVNs for these positions. If so, can they receive certifications in the specialty as RNs do? Thanks in advance
  12. I think I failed Nclex in 75 questions

    You must first analyze why you failed. My good friend failed twice and when I asked her this question she knew immediately that she just did not have enough nursing knowledge. She was super stressed in school and skated by. So, by the end of school ...
  13. Nursing Job Without Stress

    Anyone know if its even possible for a new LPN to find a job that is low stress? I'm talking low to the point where she can go to school for BSN and still be able to study. Any experiences, advice or even hospital jobs that are not necessarily "nurs...
  14. What LPN to RN or BSN options are there in California?

    Thanks for the link. That helps a lot.
  15. I live in California and have discovered that we have some very limited options as to online LPN to BSN options. There are many Universities throughout the country that have programs but few in California. I would appreciate any suggestions about on...
