I wish I could but my family ties are all here. Family first! I do love my current job as a research coordinator but I need more. It's not fulfilling enough.

I was offered $21/hr in Florida to continue a research position I've been doing as a LPN for a year. I also get bonuses for research but I still feel lowballed. They only have me $17/hr as a LPN. It's a cush job though with no weekend or holidays and...

Hi! I've been told that I don't need any further certifications, that my RN will get me further than those non licensed but I am just not sure. Are you going to test this year?

I am a clinical research nurse/research coordinator for a gastroenterology clinic in west central Florida. Nice to see posts from others who are in research.
If you message me your email I can send it to you. If not I searched nclex study guide or strategies...something like that. If I find the link to the post I will put it here.

I watch those lectures, especially when I cannot bring myself to read after working 10 hours lol. They also have some PDFs to download if you join the site.
I also had those two together and they both ran the length of the whole quarter. I am so excited! I have 1 comprehensive exam, 1 HESI, & 4 clinicals left! Make sure to print and read the study guide going around for free on the internet and allnu...
In quarter 6 we have two exit HESI's and 2 comprehensive exams. The first exit hesi is worth 30% of our grade and so is each comprehensive exam. The last exit HESI is worth 10%. All of the other work is worth small percentages. We have management qui...
So far so good. Just a lot of self studying. Since I am online I continue to do weekly discussion posts and so far there have been two per week. We are doing group projects in lab that are mostly management type things. My first exam isn't until 5/19...
2 of my instructors went to work for Humana. I love in the area you are referring to. I always wondered how they like it. There are several companies who hire from home case managers and they are all in this area.
There are LPNs doing case management positions so you do not need any specific degree or certification. For specific employers you might but it is definitely possible to do without furthering education if you are a nurse currently. Check into Conifer...
She will probably pay more for her BSN and you will be done sooner with an ADN. She may start at $1 more per hour for a comparable position (from what I hear that is about the only starting pay difference) but by that time you will already have two y...

You should be fine with associates. The hospitals that are acquiring magnet status want bachelors. A lot of them are going that route but as of now ADN's are being hired. They may have you agree to seek your BSN by a certain timeframe. I am not sure ...

I just wanted to second your suggestion. I took the LPN route and in the last quarter of my bridge program to get my ADN. I also got a couple C's in A&P I&II which brought my GPA down. (Working full time and two little kids helped that happen...
