Hi cancergirl: I'm an LPN and have only worked in a clinic setting. Correct me if I'm wrong, RNs, but as far as I know, the hospitals in the Fayetteville/Springdale/Rogers area are no longer hiring...

I worked as a Patient Care Assistant for 3 years in a family practice clinic. before going to school. I was making above my pay scale because of my skill level, had phlebotomy training, ran the...
Your bridge program sounds much easier than ours. I would have 3 math classes to take, test out of A&P and several others, then 4 semesters in class and clinical. It's doable, just intimidating....
Well, and there you have touched on another nerve: nights, weekends, holidays and 12 hours shifts. Husband and grandkids demand some of my time. I did a clinical in one day surgery that I loved,...

Sorry I didn't see your post earlier. I graduated from NTI in Dec 2006. It's not that hard to get accepted. Pick up the application form, get your reference letters, take your pre-tests and get...

I got my license this year, and since I was born in an odd number year, I have to renew my license this fall. However, I DO NOT have to have CEU's this year. I will have to have 15 CEU's per year...
I'm 53 and got my license in March. School was a breeze. I returned to my clinic position and I sleep most weekends away. However, I can outwork the 20 and 30 year olds anyday, but I think that's...
Take a deep breath, gino. I went straight to the test sections, answered the questions, looked at the ones I got wrong and why. Don't try to cram too much into your head or memorize too much...
I'm sorry to hear you didn't pass the test. There is no secret to the NCLEX. You have to know the basics and build your knowledge on that. I had lots of priority questions, who would you see first,...
