Thanks! Feeling great each day knowing I have a plan. I can't wait to start counseling!

Almost finished BS in Behavioral Science then on to Masters in Community Counseling.

I am seeing it here in Delaware as well. NO LPN jobs other than desperate nursing homes and even then it is usually night shifts. All the good LPN jobs are being taken over by Medical Assistants who, by the way, are being referred to as nurses. I ...

Just wanted to let you know my take on this coding business. I am an LPN with 15 years with varied nursing experiences and feeling like it's time to do something else until I finish my RN. I ordered an instructional textbook with cd and workbook. ...

Hi, just wanted to say that I tried the LPN to BSN route and ended up quitting because I got so frustrated at the timeframe. I began to realize that with just a few more classes I could be practicing as an RN, making $15-20 more per hour in some cas...

Hi all and thanks for reading. I am newly enrolled in EC RN program. I am currently waiting for the "official" transcript reading, but am going ahead with Transitions per their recommendation. Can anyone tell me-based on having had a regular Commu...

Having 15 WONDERFUL years of experience in preparing to be an RN!

I did agency for years and there are definitely pros and cons. The biggest pro, of course, being the $$$. That being said, you have to be prepared for having everything taking twice as long as if you were in the same facility all the time. If they...

First of all, I'm not sure why you would be considered qualified to run a unit as a new nurse. Please do not take offense, I don't know your background and I'm just going by the fact that you are a new LPN. It is the responsibility of the facility ...

Thanks to all who responded. STILL awaiting official transcript reading, but am just about ready to take Transitions. Good luck everyone!

And thus, your journey re-begins. Well, at least NO CPNE for you!! Good luck.....

Thanks, Sue. I checked my unofficial transcripts and it looks like it will be mostly nursing stuff for me too. By the way, CONGRATS on being an RN!!!! I'm sure you worked very hard for it and hope you continue to hang around on the boards to give t...

I'm right in there with you! Just started Transitions and am waiting on the official transcript results. I have never felt more sure or more confident than I do now. There is soooo much support here and way more resources than I had when I went thr...

Great job! Can't wait for the day when I can post the same!!

Thanks for this post and replies-I am finishing up this course and was just getting ready to post the exact same thing!

I think $10 an hour is the going rate, because that is what it is at each facility I have to orient in. Also, it is not payable until I actually work my first shift at those facilities. It's a lot of free up-front stuff you are giving of your time,...

YES THEY ARE A DYING BREED!! I just wanted to comment on this topic because it is real and true where I am in Delaware. I have been an LPN for 15 years and for the first time in my career, I cannot find a job. I have excellent references, but all t...

Hello all you fellow DE nurses! I am a DTCC grad from 1994 (LPN). I am finally, after marriage and 2 children, wanting to go back to finish what I started. I am looking into the accelerated program for LPN to RN at the Terry Campus. Can anyone gi...

I have to say that I loooovvvvvee being a psych nurse. I've done just about every other kind of nursing imaginable, but psych is definitely my home. While I haven't gotten the "vibe" that I'm not a real nurse, I get very weird looks when I tell peo...

I work in a psych hospital with all populations (children, adolescents, adult, and geri) and there is no way we would be giving meds to pt's in their rooms. The way we do things to keep confidentiality a priority is to keep most pt's in the dayroom ...
