    Interview for Transitional ICU Position

    I was ACLS certified but I let it lapse because I wasn't working. I tried to get it recertified before the interview but there wasn't a class soon enough. But that sounds like a great

    OrganizedChaos replied to randik87's topic in Public, Community Health

    We get these requests all the time. There is no way to verify if we are really a nurse. Why don't you try going to a doctor's office, hospital, public health office, etc & speaking to a nurse....

    I already have a BA and an LPN, is WGU right for me?

    If you're willing to travel to any clinical site, then you might get a sooner date when you are CPNE eligible. People cancel for all sorts of

    LPN to RN or BSN Accelerated Bridge Program

    OrganizedChaos replied to nicolina104's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is important to clear up any information, not for you but other people on this website. Because from the first post it makes it seem that TCN is a school that can grant degrees, which is false...

    Interview for Transitional ICU Position

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Critical Care

    It's a step down/transitional ICU. They see patients after surgeries but said they see a lot of post cardiac patients. That helped a lot!

    LPN to RN or BSN Accelerated Bridge Program

    OrganizedChaos replied to nicolina104's topic in LPN, LVN Students
