  1. Licensing question

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    YES!!! Thanks this was very helpful. There are so many different rules from different states, and I just needed someone to give it to me straight. Thanks

  2. Licensing question

    AlleycatLady posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    First off, I'm not trying to annoy anyone, and I have searched the site for similar and recent circumstances, and I found a few things, but not enough. I saw something to the effect of being licensed...

  3. Licensing question

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes, I've seen this site. Very helpful. I know that it says that you should get your license in the state that you reside in and or practice in, but what are the advantages/drawbacks to either...

  4. Lvn program lost accreditation

    AlleycatLady replied to futurenurse3610's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You should also check with any federal loans you may have taken, because those could be forgiven in this

    Well I got in my first choice at Gaston College!!! I start in the fall. Good luck to

  6. Chamberlain College (Charlotte) 2016

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    While the acceptance at Chamberlain was good, I'm still waiting on my first choice though. Hopefully I'll find out in the next couple of

  7. NP Salaries/Location/Specialties

    AlleycatLady replied to tsipareht's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What is a day in the life of your job like? What do you do? Do you counsel the patients? I'm asking because I just want to get a feel for what your day is like. Thanks,

  8. Chamberlain College (Charlotte) 2016

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    So far so good. I have a great admissions advisor. He keeps me informed. That's pretty much all I've encountered so far. As the process moves along, I'll post

  9. Chamberlain College (Charlotte) 2016

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I got accepted to the May 2016 class start date. I'll let you know how things

  10. Took NCLEX-PN today

    AlleycatLady replied to missycrowell's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You probably did well...Just think positive. Even if you didn't pass, just take some time to study and retake it, because now you know what to expect!

  11. Chamberlain College (Charlotte) 2016

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I really hope someone can give a response. It would be interesting to know how this first class is doing in the program since they just opened in October. I sent an email with questions to the...

  12. Nursing School with High acceptance rate? (4 year programs)

    AlleycatLady replied to micahleigha's topic in General Students

    I'm amazed at how selection committees select their students. I've heard of so many schools with drop/fail out rates in the 50% range, yet they have an NCLEX pass rate of above 90%. There's something...

  13. Chamberlain in Charlotte NC

    AlleycatLady replied to J-Diddy's topic in School, College Programs

    Do you have an update on your progress? How is the financial aid process? If you already took anatomy courses outside of Chamberlain, did they make you take the anatomy courses over? Thanks

  14. Need advice from nurses. Accelerated BSN, RN, or LPN program...which would you do??

    AlleycatLady posted a topic in General Students

    I have a dilemma. I'm changing careers from the chemical industry to nursing. I have a BS Chemistry and MBA already. My ultimate goal is to become a NP. I could do the PA route, but it would cost me...

  15. Need advice from nurses. Accelerated BSN, RN, or LPN program...which would you do??

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in General Students

    Thank you Ladyvp05, It looks like you've got everything together on this. That's excellent! It doesn't sound like you will have any problems in the job department. I think its all about networking...

  16. Can an NP work 2 different specialties at the same time?

    AlleycatLady posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If an NP has a specialty in FNP and also in psychiatric NP... Is it possible for an NP to work lets say in the ER on a full-time basis as an FNP and also hold a part-time position somewhere else as a...

  17. Need advice from nurses. Accelerated BSN, RN, or LPN program...which would you do??

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in General Students

    Getting experience is exactly what I had in

  18. Can an NP work 2 different specialties at the same time?

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well perhaps I just didn't explain it well enough. I should have left the FNP specialty out all together. What I meant was that I'm at war with becoming an FNP (which deals with Family nursing) and...

  19. Need advice from nurses. Accelerated BSN, RN, or LPN program...which would you do??

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in General Students

    Yes, the costs are very much a factor. I'm finding that even though the BSN traditional route would make sense as it relates to the amount of time it would take vs the RN and the advantages of having...

  20. Can an NP work 2 different specialties at the same time?

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The relationship is not a comparison of the two specialties. I have the interest in the nurse anesthetist route because of my background as a chemist. I also have an interest in psychiatric nursing...

  21. NC nursing programs without TEAS test, TEAS prep help, etc

    AlleycatLady replied to roadrunner517's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Found this on the Gaston College site under the RN requirements: Have a minimum composite score of 65 on the TEAS V taken within five (5) years from the date of application. Official scores for...

  22. CRNA Looking For Undergraduate Teaching Opportunity

    AlleycatLady replied to Nupe4sleep's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it depends on where you are (state). I have a cousin who teaches at a community college in Alabama. She is an RN. She has been teaching for many years (>12) and she just got her masters...

  23. Can an NP work 2 different specialties at the same time?

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just like in the chemical industry, there are many different specialties. Sometimes you get so consumed with one thing or type of chemistry and in such detail, that you lose your skill sets in some of...

  24. Can an NP work 2 different specialties at the same time?

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Some industries don't allow dual licenses. For instance, when I worked in the mortgage industry, it was against the rules/ frowned apon to work as the real estate agent and the mortgage broker due to...

  25. Need advice from nurses. Accelerated BSN, RN, or LPN program...which would you do??

    AlleycatLady replied to AlleycatLady's topic in General Students
