    Hey back again. It's the end of the fall 2014 semester. I finish with an A and a B in my nursing classes. It's hard work, but possible. There were many sleepless nights. I was dead tired the whole...

  4. Does a degree in psych or counseling complement a degree in psych nursing in NYC?

    ladyvp05 replied to vonconz's topic in Psychiatric

    You either want to be a counselor or a nurse. My sister became a psych nurse because she always wanted to work in psych. Well the bad thing is she hates nursing. She ended up going back and getting...

    ladyvp05 replied to Nonetheless's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. MA before LVN?

    ladyvp05 replied to aisa356's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is a waste of time. If you want to be a nurse skip ma. I went and became a ma first. Now I'm in a rn program. With lpn you can bridge to RN. With ma you cant. With ma you will never be paid...

  7. Nursing or Psychology??!

    ladyvp05 replied to DevP91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, psychiatric nursing is a great idea. Even if you want to still be a counselor after you become a nurse you can still do it. My sister in law has her bsn and got a nursing job in psych. Then...

  8. MA or LVN?? help

    ladyvp05 replied to eflores06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Skip the ma route. I'm a MA and it was not worth the 10 grand. Pay is Crappy, no room for advancement, and you will not get much respect especially from nurses. If you decide to become a nurse none of...

    ladyvp05 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in LPN, LVN Students

  10. ADN or BSN?

    ladyvp05 replied to momofboys2's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It really depends on were you live and your situation. Also check your school to see if they limit financial for people with previous bachelor degrees. I believe the max credits I can get financial...

    ladyvp05 replied to CrimJ2BRN's topic in Nursing Career

  13. Medical Assistant or PCA

    ladyvp05 replied to runnerdoug87's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I guess it depends on where you want to work. PCA usually work in the hospital. MA in a clinic. Also I have read a little people can't find a job after getting out of MA school, but that may depend on...

  14. Apparently, everyone is a nurse! (rant)

    ladyvp05 replied to RivkaLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you quit and get a job at another clinic you may be stuck with the same situations. I think most clinics give Medical Assistants a lot of freedom like this. When I was pregnant I went to 2...

    ladyvp05 replied to RivkaLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm a medical assistant and I work in a clinic. I'm also in a RN program right now. So I can say for sure being a medical assistant vs being a nurse is like oranges and apples. Everybody at the clinic...

    ladyvp05 replied to Manda2426's topic in General Nursing

    At our clinic the medical assistant, nurse, secretary or anybody can fill out FMLA paperwork and the doctor signs it. Well our doctor never fills anything out, not even the prescriptions. Doesn't seem...
