1. RN 30 unit option

   daniam25 replied to Jhope16's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   Contact the colleges. I don't represent the uni, I attended as a student 20+ years ago LOL. Don't use a .com website as a source of information. It's probably best for you to just go to college...

2. RN 30 unit option

   daniam25 replied to Jhope16's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   Not really sure why you can't do a refresher? You mentioned you graduated with a diploma (assuming RN) but didn't sit for the NCLEX-RN? Why didn't you? Or did you try it but were unsuccessful?...

3. RN 30 unit option

   daniam25 replied to Jhope16's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   Why not take a refresher course or sit the LVN

4. RN 30 unit option

   daniam25 replied to Jhope16's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   Yeah, but there are programs that will let you do their RN-BSN out there, even without a diploma. That's why they are RN **** to BSN

5. RN 30 unit option

   daniam25 replied to Jhope16's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   Hey! You would still need to attend a year program to be able to sit for the NCLEX-RN. You might as well do an ADN program. I did the 30 unit option "back in the day" and now have progressed to...

6. RN 30 unit option

   daniam25 replied to Jhope16's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   The 30 unit option is definitely lesser credits and a shorter time to obtain RN licensure than an LVN to ADN program. Before I ever became an LVN, I had earned a Bachelors in epidemiology and...

7. Getting an RN certification if you're HIV positive?

   daniam25 replied to atahualpa67's topic in Indiana Nursing

   Good question nurseJonezee. I’m now DNP, CRNA, PMHNP, FNP and still hiv doesn’t get in my way. The ADA protects you anyway. It’s embarrassing to think that anyone might think that HIV may...

8. How much do nurses start out at in N. Alabama/B'ham?

   daniam25 replied to stephiscope's topic in Alabama Nursing

   I am an RN and have never worked for less than $35 per hour and have been all over the US. FL, AL, LA, MI, IL, and now

9. Getting an RN certification if you're HIV positive?

   daniam25 replied to atahualpa67's topic in Indiana Nursing

   I am an RN with an MSN and have had HIV for 10 years. HIV has absolutely nothing to do with your ability to function as an RN. Go for it. Would diabetes prevent you from becoming an RN? Absolutely...

10. Which FNP programs are the shortest?

    daniam25 replied to rynophiliac's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Id like to reply to this post. I disagree that a quicker education could be an issue. I have been an ER/trauma and flight RN for over 10 years, already have an MSN degree in nursing education and a...

11. Walden vs Chamberlain for RN-BSN/MSN

    daniam25 replied to CoffeeGeekRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I earned my BSN through Chamberlain and it was very doable. 100% of the coursework is online, there are NO clinicals, and the instructors are very fair. It is quite expensive though. There is...

    daniam25 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am wondering if anyone can offer me any guidance regarding becoming an NP. I have been accepted to an NP program beginning next month and am quite anxious. I have worked hard and grown from an LPN...
