equalme BSN, LPN, RN

With eNLC being enacted in Kansas in July 2019, will current KS RN/LPN licenses be grandfathered in thus converting our single-state license to a multi-state? I spoke with KS BON but they were not able to give me a definite answer, the person I spoke...

I recently graduated from the MNU ABSN program a few months ago. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the program. We started with about 55 students and 54 of us graduated. Sure there were a select few that complained about everything inc...

Which makes sense. PA are educated under the medical model whereas NP is still nursing model.

Correct. But if you can find a med school to go to part time, then it'll take you 12+ years then.

Probably difficult because Texas BON does not require LPN to be IV certified, but only recommends it. The facility you work at will dictate whether they allow it or not.

I am currently in the program and my cumulative and prereq GPA is pretty similar to yours. My TEAS was around 81%. I think your chances of getting accepted is very good.

Good luck! I'm assuming they just did another stack of reviews recently as I submitted my application not too long ago.

I was just notified that I have been accepted into the Fall 2017 ABSN program!!

For those that got accepted into this Fall start, what did you score on the TEAs? And if it's not too personal, your average GPA? I'm a bit late into applying but I will be submitting my application on Monday. Just trying to see where I stand with a ...

When did you submit your application? I'm a little bit late in the game but I should be submitting my application on Monday for this Fall. Our scores are very similar. My GPA is 3.19 and scored a 81.3% on the TEAs. I think your preqeq GPA is a little...

Hi all! I'm in the process of completing my application for hopefully Fall 2017 ABSN. I couldn't find any information, but does anybody know what is the average pre-req GPA and TEAS score that are getting accepted? If you get waitlisted and then not...

Uber from and back will get expensive quick and tiresome. There has also been talks about Uber discontinuing in Houston. Your best bet is to find an apartment/condo/townhouse close to the rail system but like HouTx said...rent is ~$1k starting and go...

Hi, kind of off-topic. Do you know if MCC have an expiration on preqreq courses?

I have attempted to call ISU a couple of times and keep getting a voicemail. I am looking into the their LPN-BSN online program and have already taken most of the pre-requisites at my local community college. I know some nursing programs have a five ...

So I am scheduled to take the nclex-pn this Monday, but meant to reschedule since I am not ready yet. I knew that I had to reschedule within 24 hours of the testing date, but was not aware it was 24 hours on a business day only. $200 down the drain.....

So I just started at a SNF that uses pinned name tags. It is going to get old really quick to have to re-pin everyday on a clean set of scrubs and it will probably wear out the fabric faster too. Does anybody have a good alternative to fixing the nam...

Not sure if it helps, but I get $20/hr at a SNF as a new grad.

Definitely go for the BSN if you have the chance. I had to go the LVN route since I previously bombed my GPA at a university due to being young and careless. I am looking forward to bridging though hopefully starting next year.

Keep in mind that over half the jobs available aren't even listed on popular sites like indeed and glassdoor. I searched for the closes SNF to my house and just showed up in person and asked if they were currently hiring LVNs; I was dressed business ...

Wow I would be terrified as well! I'm just starting at a SNF and will be working 11P-7A shift as well. I will be getting a 5 day orientation, and if needed, they will extend it to 10 days. My floor will only have 13-15 pts and I was told at most will...

Very nice! Usually there is a waitlist to get a job at the VA and that applies to experienced nurses too. I did clinicals at the VA and really enjoyed it...it's been so long though that I can't really describe much of it.

It's been a long time coming but I'm finally taking my NCLEX-PN tomorrow afternoon. I graduated back in 2012 but my ATT was delayed due to being in enforcement for almost a year. I have been a pharm tech for over six years and was working part time ...

LOL yes I am. Small world indeed!

See the post above you. :) I mainly waited so I can put the license number on my resume.

Thanks! I just got offered a job pending background/drug check! So I took the nclex on Tuesday the 16th, quick results shows passed on Thursday 18th, TBON updated my license Tuesday 22nd, and I applied at the closest SNF (about a mile from where I li...
