  1. Starting a home health care agency

    Southern_Male_Nurse posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi. I want to start a local / regional home care agency that employs, RNs, LPNs, CNAs, and NAs. I have owned a business before (not nursing or medical related), so I know about operating a business...

  2. Third time not the charm

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to wildcat28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks Suzanne! I will definitely keep that in mind. I do want a license that I can move from state to state if need be. I plan on attending WVU School of Nursing to complete the BSN part. They are...

  3. Third time not the charm

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to wildcat28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't wish to get off topic here, but to answer your question honestly - I am not sure. From what I was told by the WV BON you are able to transfer the license to other states that allow the same...

  4. Question about BON, Pearson Vue, etc.

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to NTPinky's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I took the lpn boards, I paid my state fee first, then waited for my letter to take the boards arrived. If you pay both at the same time, and if the BON doesn't approve your application, not only...

  5. Third time not the charm

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to wildcat28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    suzanne4 - I use to be a 91c (practical nurse). If you were trained by the Army, then you are qualified under West Virginia code 30-24-2 (Qualification for examination for license as a registered...

  6. Third time not the charm

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to wildcat28's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    wildcat - I can feel for you. I really do. When I graduated from lpn school I was immediately shipped overseas. Due to my location, I was not allowed to take the nclex for 3 years after I graduated....

  7. Refresher Classes

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to dcfashionista's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't mean to misunderstand you, but are you getting mad at me? I hope not, for I personally encourage anyone to get a refresher on as much as possible. By the way, just out of curiousity - what...

  8. Refresher Classes

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to dcfashionista's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There are 2 parts to the course. The bookwork, and the clinicals. Like I mentioned previously, in the state of Maryland the refresher course is not required for those that have not taken or passed the...

  9. Army DON 91c school address

    Southern_Male_Nurse posted a topic in Government, Military

    This question is more for the recruiters than anyone, but hey if you are able to help answer it, please do. THANKS! I was trained as a 91c back in the late 80s at San Antonio (phase I) and then Ft...

  11. Anybody in the Army Reserve Nurse Corps?

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to jasonglh's topic in Government, Military

    I was stationed at Ft. Sam twice in the 80s. Loved it. Out all of the places I have lived in the world, i consider that at the top of my list. Beautiful city! I just loved the River walk, especially...

  12. Refresher Classes

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to dcfashionista's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In Maryland, if you haven't taken the boards yet, all you have to do is reapply for the NCLEX. A refresher course w/clinicals is not required, for that class is to help reactivate your license. But if...

  13. No money for school, sorry it's long..

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to emndarmic's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  15. My School is Gone!

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to glascow's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't want to make something sound negative in light of what has happen. Being from the lower Alabama (30 minutes from the coast and all), I wish my best to all of the areas destroyed. I however do...

  16. What LPN courses does EC accept?

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to copnlpn2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know that Army trained 91c (practical nurses) their course work will transfer. Mine got me 30 credits alone when I went to get my rn. And plus, several states )WV and CA) will automatically allow...

  17. Re-entry into the field

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to Anjewels's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I feel a little bit nervous to be honest. I will be taking my refresher starting Sept 8th here. The class is limited to only 15 people, but so far only 6 or 7 have signed up. I really feel if they...

  18. Where are LPN's working besides LTC/Home Health?

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    VA and military hospitals are great places to start. They will help pay some of your bills (yep) and pay for continueing your education. Talk to their recruiters. Plenty of

  19. NV LPN Licensure trouble Army Program Grad

    Southern_Male_Nurse replied to nma24's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I can't answer the question, but being a former 91c myself I find it very odd. West Virginia feels that we are trained well enough that they will even allow Army trained 91c's to take the NCLEX-RN...
