    Sad but true (maybe)

    wish_me_luck replied to pacjeffery's topic in Virginia Nursing

    OP, this is going to sound mean, but I feel like you scattered and do not know what you want. You do not know what you want to do while in nursing school...CNA, I think I saw pharmacy tech, or even...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was not ordered into it. I was given the options of HPMP or IFC. I took HPMP because I wanted my license. I do not know if yours will be public. Everyone that I have met has had theirs online. I...

    Time running out to finish NCLEX in 4 years, Do I have any options?

    wish_me_luck replied to ilovenrsing's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You might be better to take courses or school over instead of going out of state to take NCLEX because many employers look at the year you graduated and ask why you have not worked as a nurse since...

    Can a nurse with a reprimand become a pa?

    wish_me_luck replied to Ripfreak's topic in General Nursing

    In getting licensed for physicians assistant, they probably will find it. Most state regulatory boards ask about other board licenses and any actions against them. You do not want to lie to the state...

    Registered Nurse (GC MN) - what does gc mn mean??

    wish_me_luck replied to Yoshimitsu's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Grn, it is not in minnesota. I really think it is the city. I see posts in Virginia all the time that specify the position by initials of the area/city. It is usually when they have several branches...

    What type of gross things do registered nurses have to do?

    Some nursing programs have a certain age minimum. But, if you could complete it at 18, then if you are qualified, you are qualified. All new nurses are fresh

    wish_me_luck replied to dr3amline's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
