    Good luck! We all know how nerve wracking it is from the LVN program. I'll be applying at some point to a bridge program. I'm nervous & I haven't even taken my TEAS test

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in School

    Like I said before, my husband is the only one working so that is a huge bump up in pay in what I am currently making. Could I get a job in LTC or PDN? Yes, but I hate both. Because I have been a SAHM...

    Should I Apply?

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in School

    I've worked PDN a good portion of my nursing career. Actually much younger kids than 7-8 graders, so that age range will be new to me. I did apply but haven't heard back yet so we will see what...

    So stressed & confused!

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't know but her background can't be any worse than mine. That's why I'm aiming to get a 90% on the TEAS. Otherwise I don't think I'll get
