   Social Life Concerns

   Texas86RN replied to EmBSNStudent's topic in Nursing

   Just be sure that you give your employer the required notice for days off , and you should be fine, most nurses manage to have family and friend time, don't let yourself become overloaded though, it can be a stressful job

    having difficulty deciding..LPN or RN?

    Texas86RN replied to shelbyy102's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes , think about what will work best for you, it is a tough road for anyone to obtain the RN license, set that as your goal and work toward it, if it means LVN first, then that will help you gain some knowledge along the way, best wishes

    Business Brainstorm

    Texas86RN replied to kalevra's topic in Entrepreneurs

    The legal nurse consultants I have heard of do that as a side job, maybe until they have enough clients, what kind of things are you good at , as for options for other jobs, baking? Pet grooming? See if you could get a job somewhere auditing pt charts , LTC, hospital, government positions

    nursing & tattoos

    Nursing is a professional atmosphere , and visible tatoos are frowned upon, and the dress code regulations will most likely become stricter
