  1. Salary?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to FutureLPNty's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I started at 18 in FL. But I have made as low as $16.50 and as high as $22. In California I know home health pays like $17, but I made 27 on hospice and 33 for

  2. Can LPNs work in the delivery room or maternity?

  3. I wish RN schools would quit teaching the RN students LPN's can't do anything!

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh I sooooo agree with this post. I was utterly SHOCKED by the nclex. I repeatedly got LVN questions wrong in practice. I figured out why in Kaplan. You can't answer them based off real life, even...

  4. Do you lie when they ask, "how long?"

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I usually say "a long time" and that seems to suit people fine. At least they don't ask for clarification. I got my LVN when I was 19 and I look young so when I give people the real answer they look...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to RhanSantiago84's topic in Nurse Registration

  8. Starting To Loose Hope

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to KatelynMarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Retake a&p if your school let's you and start applying to other programs. Sorry you are feeling down, it's

  9. will all accredited BSN programs basically give you the same education

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to fatrabbit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First go to your board of nursing and look at the pass rates in your area or areas you would be willing to relocate too. Then look at the individual schools for accreditation, cost, how hard is it to...

  10. 3.50 GPA transfer BSN Admission

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Btyner21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well you have plenty of time to start volunteering before applying so start asap. That will help. As far your GPA maybe. From what I see you will have a tougher time in this state than others. Best of...

  12. Advice for (likely) rejected by all CSUs?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to runslikeanose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I hear spring is usually easier to get into but I think you are in a tough spot. CSUs are insanely competitive. There are some states that I hear are easier like Wisconsin. But you have to do...

  13. 3.50 GPA transfer BSN Admission

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Btyner21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well you didn't actually tell us where you live so that is far to broad of a question to answer. When you do tell us if you are willing to relocate either in state or out of state. Truly your best...

  14. Tolerance and acceptace of gay nurses and patients

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Cali yes economic status is definitely the one i seen but it's usually connected to something more than that. Behavior towards staff, nelect, drug use etc. Places i have worked also had a fair number...

  15. Tolerance and acceptace of gay nurses and patients

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to anon456's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Come to think of it in my 12 years of nursing i have never heard a nurse openly dislike anyone from the LGBT community or be racist. I have had nurses state they felt awkward with a Trans patient but...

  16. Will NCLEX ever REQUIRE BSN???

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to butterflykissesxo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't think it will happen anytime soon but I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility. Academia is pushing hard for advanced degrees so perhaps in the future but I would think it's a...

  17. What school

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Grea's topic in General Students

    You really just need to get on the phone and start calling. Get names, phone numbers and emails for the people you need to talk too. When I was researching schools and who accepts what this is what I...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to C0deNurse's topic in General Students

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to TaneshaStBrice's topic in General Students

    Military. Com has GREAT message boards, you can probably find more information there. I was in the Navy and that sounds like a tight time frame. The military doesn't work around you, you work around...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to rae313's topic in First Year After Licensure
