    Graduating LVN August 2015. Work as LVN for a few yrs or straight to LVN-RN bridge??

    OrganizedChaos replied to cantwait2beanurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I wanted to go back to school to bridge to become an RN. I was finishing pre-reqs but then I put school off & life got in the way. I say if you can get into a bridge program right after the LVN...

    Would you rather... ?

    OrganizedChaos replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Students

    I have finished English, psych & micro. I tried taking stats but withdrew from it. I would definitely want to take it before I attempted a BSN

    Would you rather... ?

    OrganizedChaos replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Students

    I would get as many of the pre-reqs done as possible. I would not want to do pre-reqs with nursing courses. Nursing courses are hard enough on their own, I don't want to do pre- reqs with

    OrganizedChaos replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I think if someone is a psycho/sociopath & they have it in them to murder someone it doesn't matter the age, they will murder someone. There are people under age who murder then there are adults...

    How to get a job?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, I forgot to add. I did look at the school. But this is how much the LVN makes. No joke. I don't know how they expect someone to live off of $17,000/year. I mean the cost of living is cheap here...

    Time off

    OrganizedChaos replied to sasavivi's topic in General Nursing

    My ex husband is from Brazil, in fact he just came back. He's been working as an LVN & just started an RN program. So there are nurses out there who aren't from the U.S. & take time off to...

    Which Route Should I Take?

    OrganizedChaos replied to mhendrix3015's topic in General Students

    I would get your RN first, especially since you want to be a NNP. If you can afford it financially (have no kids/etc) then go for it. I wouldn't add too many unnecessary steps. I don't know what the...

    Don't you have a way in which you communicate for your class, like blackboard or something similar? I assume your professor would want the students to have discussions together. At least any professor...

    LPN in Hospice nursing?

    OrganizedChaos replied to NurseDirtyBird's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    When I worked in corrections I worked with an LVN who also had a job in hospice & he had been doing it for years. So yes, there are hospice companies who hire

    How to get a job?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have epilepsy so I NEED insurance. I'm so afraid my husband will lose his job. Every week it's something different, but I shouldn't be surprised since he works in the oil field. I'm hoping to find a...

    Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    OrganizedChaos replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    She still killed someone & as a nurse she is taking people's lives in her hands. She is taking care of people when they are at their weakest & most vulnerable. I don't understand how people...

    OrganizedChaos replied to nasr69's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I was planning on going back to school as well (to get my RN). But I don't have that much support to watch my son during the day & my husband's job took a turn for the worse. So because of that I...

    OrganizedChaos replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    I can forgive but I can't forget. She didn't kill someone out of defense, she killed out of cold blood. If you are willing to have her take care of you & your family, good. I wouldn't let her near...

    OrganizedChaos replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Private Duty

    That's why I left & never will go back to PDN. I have a family to support & my husband's job is unpredictable now. If something were to happen I would be the one who would have to provide the...

    There's a difference between being convicted of a petty crime when they were young, but murder? I wouldn't want to work with or being cared for by this

    What makes a nursing contract binding & official?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Kit.Kat's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have signed any contract like that. I would understand that contract if you have a sign on bonus or tuition assistance but that is
