   whittwhitt replied to whittwhitt's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hi! I never said I wanted a desk job but I am interested in a "behind the scenes" job or possibly a technical health care career, then again I'm not sure anymore about what I'm going to do. This week has been tough for me. I have social anxiety and w...

2. LPN Specialty

   whittwhitt replied to whittwhitt's topic in LPN/LVN

   Ok thank you for clearing that up for me! Do you know what kind of work experience would aid in getting a health care job? I have about 7 months before starting the LPN program and am looking to get a job to add to my resume as well as some volunteer...

3. LPN Specialty

   whittwhitt posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   After doing research for about a week I've decided I want a health care job that doesn't involve that much direct patient contact, so possibly something technical. I've looked into billing/coding and transcription but don't want a desk job either. I'...

   Thank you! I think I'm more interested in doing something with less direct patient interaction. I was looking into billing/coding or transcription, but I'd want something that's not a desk job. I've been doing research on radiologic technicians, surg...

   Could you tell me what the daily routine of an LPN is at your hospital? I was going to message a few LPNs or RNs on here but I can't private message yet because of the 15 post minimum ... I'm 5'1" and was wondering if that would prevent me from getti...

10. Healthcare Certificate?

    whittwhitt replied to whittwhitt's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sorry for the confusion; I'm about to apply for the LPN program next fall 2016. The Intro to Healthcare isn't required for the LPN program (for some reason?), it's just an extra class you can take while waiting for the LPN program to start. I'm wanti...
