    Could I teach clinical at a hospital?

    Not true at all. The schools I am familiar with have many skills and sim

    Could I teach clinical at a hospital?

    Typically you need some type of relevant (I.e. hospital) experience to teach clinical in that setting. A clinical site is not going to offer much if anything in the way of orientation- you don't work...

    Do I have a chance for nursing school?

    You have all of your eggs in a single basket. Apply to other programs - community colleges. WGU has prelicensure nursing in Utah- you'd be a great candidate for their program. Cast a wide

    Bedside with an MSN?

    It's a role the VA kind of invented. Supposed to be a skilled bedside practitioner who is a leader. NOT a managerial role from what I can see. NOT an advanced practice role either. I have NEVER seen a...

    Bedside with an MSN?

    Master's in nursing education...now what?

    Well, I guess you go enroll somewhere for the needed graduate credits. I know our local Big Ten allows non-degree seeking students in both undergrad and graduate schools. But honestly, your chances of...

    LVN to RN advice

    The physical skills are far less important than the didactic content. You need good study skills- in other words, reading for content, picking out the main idea, outlining, critical thinking /...

    LVN to RN advice

    Use good study habits from Day One. While the program I work for is not technically a bridge- I have about 25% LPNs. What typically happens is they are familiar with the early MedSurg content- and...

    What should I do in this situation? (Very afraid)

    The person who put you on the PIP should give a specific and detailed list of improvements they want to see. Things you can measure yourself against. If they have not ASK for it and do not stop asking...

    Online programs for non-nurses?

    There are no 100% online programs that lead to either LPN or RN licensure. All such programs require hundreds of hours of in-person clinicals as well as skills labs. Some programs offer the classroom/...
