Hi I will be starting a LPN program in June & would like to enlist in the Army after I finish. It is my understanding that after my service in the Army that I can sit for the RN test(or whatever you call it) is this true or will I have to go to RN school after leaving the Army, also if I decide to stay in the Army how hard is it to get my BSN while in the service & enter the Army Nurse Corps? My only problem is that i am 29 years old, and will be clsoe to 31 when I finish school..is that too old to enlist? Thank you very much.

I think I would rather be in the flooded timber duckhunting than anywhere else on earth. Up until about mytwo years ago I had hunted every day of every duck season since I was old enough to hunt by myself....I absolutely live for it.

Just oil & flour & keep stirring it until you get the color you want. My old roommate in college who was a a full blood cajun would make them in the mocrowave.just oil on a plate with a paper towl under it....it takes some practice but you get that same nutty flavor plus no oil. I also have used the roux you can buy at the store in a jar & it's good.

Rachael Ray.....droooooooooooooooool I cook a lot, being from Louisiana I mainly do cajun & creole food but I also cook a good bit of tex mex.

Are male nurses allowed to have facial hair? Just wondering because I usually grow a beard in the winter time during hunting season......that ride to the duck blind can be pretty rough on your face,lol.

When I was in college I noticed a flyer on the wall in the student union.......it said "Abstinence & the college student" Lecture by Dr. Dickie Love. No lie....he was a local minister. :chuckle

My father, brother & I went fishing a couple years back & my brother got his bait stuck right behind daddy's ear...two treble hook burried into the hilt. Well we walk in the ER & I was just dying laughing because the bait had bb's in it so it would rattle & attract fish...he rattled all the way across the parking lot & into the ER,lol

Thanks for all the replys y'all. Just to let ya know I'm no wet behind the ears kid..I know how people can be and I know life isn't always pretty but it doesn't deter me from wanting to work in nursing. I have been a barber for a couple years and have dealt with some pretty adverse conditions..plus I volunteered to cut hair at a nursing home when i was in barber school so I kinda know how nursing home patients can be. I do have one more question. I was just looking at the NLCA website & notice that Louisiana is not on the list as being a compact state...does this mean that once licensed in Louisiana that i can't move to another state & work as a nurse? I lived in Frisco, TX for a while & would love to move back out there if possible...plus I'm a duck hunter so it'd be nice to move to an area with good hunting opportunities, hehe.

Hi guys. I am currently working as a barber/stylist in Louisiana but I am very unhappy with my job. I love the people & the atmosphere but I hate being self-employed, the instability of not having a steady paycheck and no benefits, but most of all I am not helping people when i know I have so much more to offer. I have several customers that are doctors and they really love working in healthcare and I know I would be a great nurse. I called the local technical college today and their LPN class begins in June and i am seriously considering joining it. Ideally I would like to work in ER or perhaps cardiology. Would it be wise to start as a LPN and later become an RN? I am still relatively young(29 years old) and would really like to go straight intto an RN program at Louisiana Tech but financially that isn't possible..I was a previous college student there and goofed off so much that my GPA is too low for financial aide, but I can get pell grants at technical college. Also, I live in Louisiana but I am single/no kids so i can relocate anywhere...if I get licensed in Louisiana what would be required to work in an other state? I appreciate any advice y'all could offer and thanks for the great work y'all do. My father had a heart attack & quadruple bypass surgery in October(on my birthday to be exact) and the work done by the nurses & doctors amazed me and inspired me.
