  1. Please tell me what you would do in my situation (Re:LPN to RN program)

    Justmeandmycat replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I think I'm in the same boat with you and Harleytx. The only difference is that you have been able to make your lpn work for you. I've previously said before that I don't want to work in a nursing...

  2. A question about Diploma Nurses

    Justmeandmycat replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    Hi LadyMadonna, It's been awhile since I've had a chance to look at this thread. Dang about that program. Any more news? PS I just had the Beatles (?) tune Lady Madonna children at your feet,...

  3. How long did it take to get a job?

    Justmeandmycat replied to youknowho's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ok, here's my input. I graduated as an LPN Jan. 2004, and took a month to study for the NCLEX-PN and sailed thru it. I interviewed with a cardiologist's office and a walk-in clinic and got two...

  4. 3rd week in home health, ready to quit

    Justmeandmycat replied to SRbear's topic in Home Health

    I don't know if this will help or not since I don't do HH but I used to work in insurance and paperwork was the game. I was a contract analyst so whenever there was a change in benefits a form had to...

  5. I don't fit into nursing& nurse eating

    Justmeandmycat replied to cargal's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. The behavior that is being demonstrated on your unit is considered "acceptable" somehow so it is allowed to grow and proliferate. It might also even be rewarded in some way. I believe this is...

  6. Hello - What state are you from?

    Justmeandmycat replied to KimRN41514's topic in Rural

    Hi, I'm a nurse in a teeny tiny town in CT and I'm glad to have found this forum. Where I live, there's just cows, horses and snow (it's a-comin'!) You know it's rural when you're late getting...

  7. LPN Job market in MA?

    Justmeandmycat replied to Justmeandmycat's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hm, I hadn't thought about my home state BON being a problem- I just assumed if you had a clean record, good moral character, blah, blah, you wouldn't have a problem. But then again, everything about...

  8. LPN Job market in MA?

    Justmeandmycat replied to Justmeandmycat's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi - thanks for writing in. I haven't been on the board for awhile but I was hoping some one would chime in and you did - thank you. I've decided to go for reciprocity so I can work in MA, but it will...

  9. New LPN and no jobs available.

    Justmeandmycat replied to ladybay's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi Matt's Mom: Thanks for writing in and for your suggestions. I've scanned the message boards and I've read your responses to others and you seem like a genuinely nice person. Really. Thank you for...

  10. New LPN and no jobs available.

    Justmeandmycat replied to ladybay's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Man, thanks for championing the use of LPNs where you work. Here in the Northeast the LPNs have been thrown to the wolves. (actually, the nursing homes). Wish you were up here to crack a few skulls...

  11. New LPN and no jobs available.

    Justmeandmycat replied to ladybay's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hi Ladybay Boy, am I glad you have been writing in here, I can relate totally to your situation as a new LPN grad. This experience has been sooooo disappointing and I, too, cannot move out of the...

  12. Looking for online RN - BSN with no clinical componet.

    Justmeandmycat replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Do you know how Excelsior compares with University of Phoenix? Can I go from LPN to BSN or do I have to do ADN then BSN? Is University of Phoenix acceptable in CT? I don't think I've seen anything...

  13. A question about Diploma Nurses

    Justmeandmycat replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    Its so nice to see someone with a similar background wondering the same thing. Thanks for asking the question. Did you have difficulty getting a straight answer on whether or not you could wring any...

  14. A question about Diploma Nurses

    Justmeandmycat replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you're saying, it's that I just didn't know it would be the only route available to me for income as an LPN. My least favorite rotations during clinical were the nursing homes because they...

  15. A question about Diploma Nurses

    Justmeandmycat replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Thanks for responding and at least listening. I wrote before to vent, not to get into any debates about scope of practice, and the differences between RNs and LPNs in terms of theory, nor do I...

  16. A question about Diploma Nurses

    Justmeandmycat replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Everyone: Seeing as everyone is so informed about this degree thing, let me throw one more scenario at you. I graduated in 83 with a BA . In 2002, I decided to enter nursing. I was told that my BA...
