Hi, I am an LVN working in an ENT surgical practice for almost 2 years. I have been a nurse since 1991, am working on my ADN. I am doing the self paced thing and have 3 courses left before I can sign up for the CPNE. I am soooooooooo burned out righ...
:) What type of program are you looking for? I am an LVN working for RN and have clepped out of psch and sociology and these are good for whichever type of program you go through. I am doing the distance learning with Excelsior college Deb
Well, I have two. The first is when I was working home health and I was sent out to see an old guy who had open wounds. He lived in a very raggedy trailor house, but as I got out of my car and headed to the door I began to smell this terrible smell...

I started off as a volunteer EMT to "get my feet wet" and absolutely loved it. I have been an LVN since 1992, am working on my ADN now but have worked alot of home health and really like that. Have done pediatrics, geriatrics, hospice and it is great...

I have taken 6-7 classes so far, I have done well until I took NC2 and failed it. I am studying to retake it now. I felt very unprepared for this one. How are you studying for these exams? I guess you are enrolled also since you are studying NC3....
You know, I am dealing with the exact same thing but I work with a medical assistant who bullies everyone around and actually acts like she is the doctor. It drives me crazy and I try and only act when it is a big deal. Otherwise I just tolerate her.
:) It all depends on the type of learner you are. I have used Chancellors Learning System for my prereqs. I would not buy any guides off anyone because they are constantly updating them. With the way I am going, you buy a study guide and it gives ...
I just went to a College Network seminar this week and found out that with the College Network you can get your BSN through Indiana University. You have to get all your pre reqs. first and they are self paced. Then the second part of the program you ...
You know this is one of the hardest program out there. You really have to want this to get through it. You probably won't be doing very many anal tubes and enemas in the real world. If you are in this for the money, that is the wrong reason. The way ...
