    savagetrojan replied to carebear57's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you are a LPN, you have little chance of getting a hospital job. Many hospitals now want "magnet" status and will not usually hire LPNs. If you are an RN, any certifications you can get in addition...

  5. ANY ADVICE

    savagetrojan replied to carebear57's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say maybe she meant LPN??? I just assume because I took the hint of working in LTC. Otherwise I have heard some RNs refer to themselves as Registered Professional...

    savagetrojan replied to ~KelRN~'s topic in Online Distance Learning

  10. Transitions Tips

    savagetrojan replied to renge1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    savagetrojan replied to BishopLPN's topic in Excelsior College
