  1. LPN program at College of Southern Nevada

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm currently in HHP 123 & 124 plus HIT 117 this Spring. I've completed my general eds, am a current CNA and scheduled to take TEAS V soon. How difficult is it to get into the program? I was told...

  2. The reality of my situation

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well, I'm 37 and will be 38 this year. I was applying to the LPN program here in Las Vegas (I know this is the VA forum, bear with me). I'd be done in May 2014. I was going to take my NCLEX-PN in...

  3. Salary query for LPN

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm wondering if anyone knows the salary of LPN's in the Chesapeake, VA area. I'm not gonna be done for a year but will move there upon

  4. Pigeon-holed

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    It gets old at times. I'm sitting 1:1 with a psych patient. A nurse comes from the other side of the unit to get me to help another CNA change a soiled patient. That same nurse's patient. Now I have...

  5. Pigeon-holed

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't apologize. I had to rant too. And I completely agree with you. Double standards abound. If I were to do 1/10th of what is done around me I wouldn't have a

    I haven't. It seems that it would be an exercise in

  7. Facial Hair

    pacjeffery replied to red2003xlt's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have a beard at work. Yes, off work too, lol. Seriously, I fit the N95 ok. Don't let that tip the scales. How often will you wear

  8. Sad but true (maybe)

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    An administrative assistant in the Chesapeake area makes more than a CNA or Phlebotomist. I've been told that all you need to get a job as an administrative assistant is an associate degree. Usually...

  9. LPN first it seems

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I got into the LPN program at CSN for this Fall. I'll be done Spring 2015. The first Fall (2013) & Spring (2014) are just one class since I've done the other classes already for those terms. So, I...

  10. My back needs a break

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nursing Career

    If I can't get ED then I'd prefer NICU or SICU (ok any ICU). With the EMT I was looking at being a flight nurse. But it still comes back to FNP in the

  11. My back needs a break

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I've signed up for EMT training (B & I only). Currently, I work as a hospital CNA. I get placed with combative 1:1's or put on rehab units. Oh yeah, I'm 6'2" and 290lb. After three years of this,...

  12. My back needs a break

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nursing Career

    Well yes indeed. My plan is to go through EMT-Intermediate, obtain my RN, somehow get into the ED & work there through NP school. My end game is FNP in the

  13. My back needs a break

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nursing Career

    This place doesn't have a PICU, NICU or PCU. ED, Med/Surg, ICU, Psych only. Weird,

  14. LPN first it seems

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Sorry but you too didn't read what I said. I know there isn't a waitlist. But if you don't meet point requirements (the minimum isn't known until it's determined the number of applicants and their...

  15. LPN first it seems

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nevada Nursing

    And I said there was a "wait". Not so much a waitlist. But telling the applicant there's no waitlist and to reapply next cycle makes for a delay regardless. In Nevada, getting into a nursing program...

  16. LPN first it seems

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nevada Nursing

    That's how they officially work, yes. But its those points that can hold people up. If an applicant has say 27 points and the admission cutoff is 29 you have to apply next cycle. What you don't...

  17. Dilemma

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am a 38 year old CNA with just 3 years experience. I recently was accepted to my local CC's LPN program that's 4 semesters long. That's Fall 2013-Spring 2015. I can also take their one-term...

    There's a few lpn-bsn programs. I know of one back

    Hospital. Not too bad. Far better than most

  20. LPN program at CSN Nevada

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nevada Nursing

    There's no fast track but we're still in! The classes are BIOL 189, 223, 224 & 251. General biology, A&P 1&2, Micro. After 189 this Fall, you could take A&P 1 with Micro in the...

  21. LPN program at CSN Nevada

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    Anyone apply? Deadline is Monday. Is it possible that they actually bring in LESS than their maximum allowed? Maybe because nobody's applying? I passed my TEAS V (very barely) and want to know how...

  22. LPN program at CSN Nevada

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I got my letter of acceptance as well. The only thing I can recommend for us is to take the science sequence to prepare for the LPN-RN bridge! PN 100L & BIOL 189 sounds like a good schedule....

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks. I need the luck. I really was hoping for their Fast Track

  24. Cultivating options

    pacjeffery replied to pacjeffery's topic in Nursing Career

    Fortunately I am doing this with my fiancé on board. She works and makes ~$45k/yr. I guess my main concern is saving my back some so I can make it through RN school AND raise the boys. Being...

  25. Cultivating options

    pacjeffery posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Some know I'm trying to segue into nursing. I'm 37 (nearly 38) and currently work as a CNA. I've applied to my local CC's LPN program as well as their phlebotomy program. Plan is to somehow earn more...
