  1. Any info about being an LPN in South Carolina

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to WCSU1987's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Lexington County. I think Lexington Medical will still hire LPNs, but the Palmetto Health Hospitals prefer RNs. For hospital anyway. For their associated clinics, I have seen a few LPN...

  2. Maximum bedside visitors

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to guest769224's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    2, unless withdrawing support or something like that. And in those cases, we usually try to move the baby to one of our ECMO rooms or nesting

  3. What age did you complete your BSN or ASN?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was 22 when I finished my ADN, and 24 when I finished my

  4. Working and going to nursing school?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    I do think you can do it, but I think it will be hard to adjust to, since your history till now has been different. Many people I went to nursing school with worked full-time and went to school...

  5. Interested in nurse anesthetist career but don't know where to begin :(

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to HolliLovesCake's topic in Nursing Career

    Well then, you honestly might think about pushing school back altogether until the child is 3. Unless you want to take a few classes here and there, which really, it's probably better to take them all...

  6. Interested in nurse anesthetist career but don't know where to begin :(

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to HolliLovesCake's topic in Nursing Career

    What's the reasoning behind wanting to get your bachelor's when your child is 3? The first step to everything, as you've already been made aware, is going to nursing school. You have two routes: 1....

  7. New Grad Looking for work

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to smurphymiller's topic in General Nursing

    Not masochistic, ambitious! Congrats on finding a job! My first out-of-school job was not one that was my dream either, and I went on to seriously hate it for 2 and 1/2 years...but I learned a lot,...

  8. When can I apply for a job after graduation.

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Mannysingh's topic in General Students

    I started job hunting my last semester, and so did a lot of my classmates. Places will hire you on the contingency you pass the

  9. Online Acute Care NP Programs

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to txnurse123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You're welcome! Good luck in your decisions and application

  10. Percentage of various NP specialties in acute care?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I agree with what Dranger and MallysMama are saying. I feel like I could've written your post myself. When I first began seriously researching schools, I was torn between which specialty to choose. I...

  11. Online Acute Care NP Programs

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to txnurse123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in SC and will be starting with the University of South Carolina in the Fall. They do have some campus visits, but classes are online and clinicals can be done in your area. You can also look into...

  12. University of South Alabama Adult NP Fall 2015

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to MovingUP1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did, acute care! I won't be going there, but just letting you know you aren't the only one still waiting! My friend also applied and hasn't heard either, so I don't think they've even begun to send...

  13. Choosing a route - CNS vs CRNA (chem bachelors, ADN)

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to cjb19's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As far as NP goes, you will do more than chart, and you will also have more than family practice to choose from. There are so many roles an NP can go into now, and you will have charting as a CRNA as...

  14. WHERE have you worked as a LPN/LVN

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to NurseQue2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am not an LPN, but a couple of the hospitals around here will still hire LPNs. Most LPNs here work in outpatient

  15. Applying to Nurse Practitioner School

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Kristilee2105's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you are wanting to start Fall 2016, I would just wait until after you have your RN license to apply. Most schools will just be opening up the applications for Fall around the time you'd be taking...

  16. NP Programs that take 1-1.5 years? (such as an accelerated program)

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to -Fit4Life-'s topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with Bio, I would look for an accelerated BSN program, rather than accelerated NP program. Same reasonings- although there are schools that accept students with little to no bedside...

  17. Why are preceptors negative towards nurses they are teaching?

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to nursy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can see what some of the others are saying, but I also do sympathize with you. In agreement with them, yes, it is great that your preceptor recognizes her teaching style and your learning style do...

  21. Online FNP program- TX

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to micheleruth87's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Look into University of Texas-Arlington. I used them to finish my BSN, and would've applied to their acute care program, but I live in South Carolina, and at my time of applying, the school told me...

  22. University of South Carolina Online NP

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to jgcadet's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Has anyone received anything from the college of nursing yet regarding enrollment/advisement? Or really, anything about what to do next? When I emailed last week, I was told we would be contacted...

  23. Feeling Guilty

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Kaybee0525's topic in General Nursing

    But at this point, she has to give a say regarding the trip now, and hasn't even interviewed for the position yet, much less been actually offered the job. Say she doesn't get(not to wish bad luck,...

  24. Feeling Guilty

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to Kaybee0525's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should still go! For the time being, you are still in your current role, and you(and the PICU) could still benefit from the conference. The hospital is spending the money on the education,...

    littlepeopleRNICU replied to littlepeopleRNICU's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
