i have four years of experience in subacute/ltc.. mostly as an LPN.. got my RN in June officially... is that the least bit marketable??

so back to my original post.. im hoping to get an A+ for effort..

pshh... im all for grades.. but i know some serious bubblehead dumba$$es with great booksmarts and test taking skills but absolute retards on the nursing floor.. lol

government support maybe...

maybe its because ive been on the job hunt.. but has anyone else noticed the increase in need for homecare services?

really? i got hired on the spot.. all they wanted to know was if i had experience... that made me a little uncomfortable.. i realized it wasnt the job for me.. so i never went back..

jersey's pretty bad too.. especially if youre a new grad with no experience... my ny license took a little over two months to process.. with a couple bumps in the road... first nj had sent my form back to me because they required a fee to release th...

im getting a$$raped with my pay.. im too embarassed to post what i get. everyone thinks im crazy for even staying.. ive been working here for four years. all i do now is train new employees and assist the supervisors. i get less than what we start ne...

- so i am planning to move to nyc.. and while finding housing will be difficult, ive found it to be a much easier task than finding a job ( or so it seems by other posts ).. - as a new grad associates, it seems that i should skip out on applying to ...

- i am an RN with an associates.. i have considered taking an online program to acquire my BSN.. i have been told in the past that graduate schools look poorly on online program acquired BSN degrees.. is this true? will it be harder for me to get int...

- there are so many posts asking questions about programs.. but has anyone out there actually completed an online rn-bsn program? what was your experience like? how were your classes? how long did it take you to complete?

- had a great experience in the LPN to RN transition.. i put up a couple reply posts on rvcc.. but overall a wonderful school.. PM if you want the sexy details..

- raritan valley community college has a great 1 year program, actually less than 1 year if u include the breaks in between.. i really liked it there.. and their out of county tuition is only a difference of 7 bucks.. - if you have the time and luxur...

- i got in by way of the LPN to RN bridge - its faster and easier than getting into the program from scratch.. - i think its a great school and i had a great experience there. the instructors were wonderful, in my opinion (and ive had 13 years worth...

they pay mid 20's for RNs or LPNs?

i am moving to nyc in the near future and will be looking for jobs in hospitals. while i realize that not having a BSN is a disadvantage as a new grad nurse, im wondering how marketable i am to hospitals with 4 years experience in sub acute nursing ...

hypothetically, how would universal healthcare affect us as nurses? the demand? our salaries? ive had a taste of the whole universal healthcare thing with the movie Sicko coming out and the upcoming election... but i dont know enough to say anything....

Before nursing school... in high school i was always an A student. my parents pushed me into a medical career but i was an artist by nature. they didnt allow me to go to art school, so i went to a university instead and studied psychology and philosp...

thanks for the reply... i mean, they dont teach you these things in nursing school... when i first started, many of my coworkers forewarned me and told me not to let them take advantage of me... i shouldve seen it coming... i know there has to be a ...

Some LPNs at our facility have been asked to supervise but they have refused, claiming that they value their license too much... although we do have LPN supervisors... im not too sure about it...
