I'm a long term care nurse and actually I love being a long term care nurse. I left my acute care job to go back to long term care. So there are people who do love it...

I graduated last May from Lpn-RN. The Ati bundle is brand new but the cost is included in tuition. As for books, you don't have to buy brand new, many students borrowed or bought from previous nursing students. I liked to get the most updated version...

There are jobs in ltc but everybody wants a hospital job. I started in ltc, went to acute care and went back to ltc. Best decision I have ever made, no regrets. I'm a proud and happy long term care nurse!

I am the first person in my family to graduate from high school and college. At my high school, they actually didn't do much directing on colleges at all. No guidance counselor helped me with college admissions at all. There was no discussion at home...
I've been a LTC nurse for almost 4 years. I was one of the ones that thought if I got a job in a hospital that I would love it and everything would be perfect. Well, I did get a job in acute care on a med surg floor and I hate it! I mean I'm dreading...

I know so many people are going to think I'm crazy. I complained about getting a job in a hospital and it was competitive to get in but my heart just isn't there. I worked ltc pharmacy for 4 years before going into ltc, I just think that is where I'm...

I start my first day my preceptor on Friday and I'm scared and nervous. I've been in long term care for almost 4 years prior to getting an acute care position. I have always dreamed of this and I just don't want to mess it up.

I graduated from ivy tech in May and a good portion of my class have jobs in the hospital setting. I am a LPN-RN transition student and I've worked in long term care for about 4 years, I was offered a position at a local hospital recently. I've appli...

I've been on long term care for 4 years most of that spent as a LPN and I just became a RN (asn) in June. I honestly thought I was doomed and going to be stuck in long term care forever after several interviews and 100's of rejected apps. I just got ...

Thank you so much for posting this! I tried to fight it when I initially signed up but it was too late and I was stuck. I pay it every month because I don't want it to affect my credit and my husband and I just bought a house. I will be filing a comp...

Honestly I've just written them off. I don't even know who to contact to get the manuals and I would probably get all angry at myself again for making a stupid mistake.

I didn't know it wasn't a college and was fooled... I have about $2500 left on a school loan that I never used. Comes directly out of my bank account every month. Just read up on everything and if you want to cancel you have to do is ASAP or you are ...

I also was on the deans list when I worked full time and completed nursing school. I believe it depends on the type of person you are. I have always worked hard and I knew I could maintain my great gpa and work.
mommywifenurse29 replied to ajerm9's topic in LPN/LVN
I worked full time my LPN and ASN programs. It didn't interfere with my grades. I don't recommend it for everybody because it is not easy but if you are strong willed it is doable. I just graduated from my RN program and I worked every Tuesday, Frida...

I honestly only reviewed ATI. I bought the hurst book and didn't even use it! I did about 30 ATI practice tests ranging in number of questions me, did their live review and went through and made flash cards from their whole review book. I hated ATI d...
I took my ATI comprehensive predictor on Tuesday and got a 91% probability of passing nclex with my first attempt. I took the same predictor in my LPN program and got a 94% of passing and passed nclex on the first time. I didn't not study for my LPN ...

Accidentally touched post.... I am so freaking nervous now maybe because this is everything I ever wanted. My school has 97% pass rate on boards. I graduate in 3 weeks and have been so busy with school that I haven't even bad anytime to focus on ncl...
