    Going Home

    SteveNNP replied to asoonernurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure there are plenty of LTC facilities hurting for LPNs in SC. As far as LPN pay, I really have no idea. I started at $20/hr with my BSN in Greenville County. However, housing is DIRT CHEAP. My...

    SteveNNP replied to Granite714's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you are up to the intellectual and physical challenge of nursing. The nice thing about nursing is that there is much flexibility in it. You can start out in the ER, OR or ICU, etc, and...

    SteveNNP replied to Rn-08-NP10-ToBe's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not sure if my BSn program was just super-rigorous or what. I'm finding that my Ivy League grad program so far (basically core classes and general sciences) are less detailed, less demanding, and...
