    NOLAdLPN replied to NorCalKid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  2. Best way to break into cardiac nursing

    NOLAdLPN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Cardiac

  6. Any thoughts on going straight from BSN nursing program to a NP program?

    NOLAdLPN replied to blbridge55's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NOLAdLPN replied to sweet_nurse013's topic in Nursing Career

    NOLAdLPN replied to countrygirl1234's topic in General Students

    Ochsner will work you to the bone with barely any pay. They start their LPN's at 13/hr plus diffs which is usually 2-4 more/hr nights/weekends. Tulane did pay pretty good but they just laid off a...
