  1. Good luck with your job hunting! My nursing instructors all tell us to continue with school while we are looking for a job because it looks good on your resume. Continuity. no gaps to explain.
  2. If you want to be an LPN then go for it. For my school it was required to be a CNA first but if your school doesn't require it then just start school. You will learn everything in the first semester...
  3. It's too bad you don't live where I do. My hospital hires new grads in the ED and they hire from my school which is a community college so no need for the BSN. (wonder if that will change anytime...

    Our nursing instructors advised us to continue our education even if part-time just to have something on your resume. :) New grad where do you live? Are you willing to relocate? What are you doing...

    Looking for RN-BSN online programs

    I've thought about WGU and University of Wyoming also. Since I'm in CA I just might go with a California University because of the cost. I'm still undecided as to where to go. I know WGU does not...

    2nd bachelor's degree accelerated nursing

    We were told in our program not to work but many students do. I just work on the weekends. Granted it is not an accelerated program. Some students in my program do home care and study on the job...
  7. This is from LVN school: The student asked what "@$#%" meant (I can't remember the word) I didn't know either so thought it a good question. She said she couldn't find the word in our medical...

    Caring nurse turned Raging *****

    I cut down to part time! :) I only work on the weekends when it's not so crazy and it's a completely different environment. I feel great! Now I'm thinking about some type of clinic work or to work...
  9. I love working 12's and I don't mind at all working them back to back. When I graduate I'm going to ask for three in a row Fri Sat Sun because the "schedule me anytime" just drives me
  10. I think I would step forward in that situation if I were on a flight. But the thought of injecting phenergan scares
  11. I've decided that my main concern was going to be the cost of the program. I've done LVN and now RN the cheap way and don't want to incur debt. I was deciding between University of Wyoming because...

    University of Wyoming RN to BSN online pros/cons

    I wonder what they say about it over on the Wyoming Board. I still haven't decided if I will go this route or Cal State Dominquez
  13. San Diego State University is just now signing up students for their new ASBN for those with a previous degree so we are seeing some short cuts around the crisis at least. They are starting in summer....

    Confused on EMT-B?????

    I am an EMT-B also and worked in the ED. We had many young men under 21 working for us as EMT techs so I guess it depends on the hospital? I have never had ambulance experience either. The...

    University of Phoenix A&P question

    Edu Kan has been recommended here many times. They are all the community colleges in Kansas and you can take many classes online with them. They have anatomy/physiology and would be much less...

    Not on the NCLEX test.

    What was NOT on your NCLEX test? I've heard that there are no burn questions where you have to add up the body like 9% plus 9%. I did not have that on my NCLEX. Many students have reported...

    Thank you for your answer. That is good to know that there can be a burn question on the test. IT was a few years ago I was told that there were no burn questions so now I know that in fact there...

    I graduated from the LVN program at GHOC in 2008. Healthcare Essentials was required and now they require that you have to be a CNA I've heard. The best way to find out is to give them a call. It...

    Not on the NCLEX test.

    This was just a fun question posed to those who took the NCLEX test. When my entire class tested it was interesting to talk to one another about it etc. That is the way it is when you test.
