    LadyFree28 replied to calamityjane1's topic in General Nursing

    If you werent a nurse, what other career would you do?

    LadyFree28 replied to RNtobe23's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible to obtain my BSN and work in the role of an LPN

    LadyFree28 replied to mmichelle93's topic in General Students

    This. As a former LPN, to be honest, there is no difference in pt contact between the two; as a new grad RN, you will start out slow; you will learn the ropes. There is more of a benefit in being a...

    What is your opinion of nursing and positive illusions?

    LadyFree28 replied to jwalker03's topic in General Students

    Here's the deal; you are asking on an Internet board; so tone is absent, as well as choice of words are needed to convey something that would otherwise be spoken...no one can hear the "spoken down to"...

    LadyFree28 replied to guyman123's topic in Nursing Career

    Even at the age of 18, I did what I needed to do; I was 18, and had entered the working world at 16; all my educational decisions were my own. Now that this friend has made a path in the world, she...

    ADA Title I Sec. 12114 Section 104

    LadyFree28 replied to newmommy26's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Obamacare? what are your thoughts

    LadyFree28 replied to nija315's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    High school LPN to RN?

    LadyFree28 replied to cath3rine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find out if they hire new grads; again, research fully what will fit best for you; if you want your BSN, go for it; if you want to dip your toe into the field, LPN is a great start, then go for the...

    Need HELP regarding RN Nclex Exam!!!

    LadyFree28 replied to RNsoon2b.'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    LadyFree28 replied to kalengen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Where are you located? Where I am located, there is no "step-up" programs; most PN programs are a little over a year full-time, though there are part-time programs as well. PN programs have strict...

    LadyFree28 replied to cath3rine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, how's' your market, meaning, are there plenty of LPN jobs? Are they willing to hire new grads? Look up your state's nurse practice act as well, to give you information as to what scope of...

    LadyFree28 replied to Salimah902's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I was studying, I would take mock tests up to 265; I usually put this as sage advice as well as hiding the question mark and the time for those who have test anxiety-haven't done so in a while,...
