Nikki: What city are you in to have a cheap program? What school is offering that program so cheap for only a year? moon30

Do not get in that mind frame thinking your stuttering stop you from doing a job:nono: . Go for your LPN and be a good nurse. CNA pay is very little and have a lot of bedside cleaning to do:bluecry1: . Go for the LPN for 16 months and be a nurse:nurse: . Remember Moses stutter and lead the children of Isreal out of bondage . Moses is one of the great leaders in the bible. So if Moses did it you can to:yelclap: . Pray God is the only one who judges. Good luck! Moon30

------------------- I am starting my program soon. moon30

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Put the results of the test in God's hands. Remember God made the world in 6 days(rested on the 7th) not 1. So if you did not pass the exam take it again. Stress and Anxiety hurts every nerve in your body;so do not lose sleep over this exam. Put God First, moon30

------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello: I am not a nurse yet only a student,but I do know charting for a doc is a big NO! I have been in the hospital and seen a number of doctors for my sickness and never saw a nurse chart for a doc. Look at this from a patient point of view__What happens if one of the patients request their records for another physician to look over their case. The new physician will look at the physician notes that you wrote and think that is from the doctor. What if he calls the doctor and have a question about something that you over look by being a nurse. The patient decides to sue the doctor for poor charting and overlooking something important. Who license will be on the line? The doc will probably keep his and you lose yours. Nursing school is too hard to play with the license. How do you know that your license is covering this? Remember your license is your bread and butter. Look for a new job because once you rep is gone it is gone! Hope this helps, moon30

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello: I live in Louisiana and one of the LPN's at a major hospital in Baton Rouge told me she is making 12.00 hourly in a clinic setting . LPN's do not make that much money around the United States. Look a http://www.monster.com and click on salary information for your state. My state the average pay is 34,000.00 annually. God has bless you with 16.00 an hour . You should jump at that pay :redlight: . Hope this helps , moon30

Hello: Do LPN's with a degree in another field get paid more than a LPN with out a degree? I would like to know do the employer pay you for your BA degree. I heard that BSN's get paid more than ASN's at some hospitals around Louisiana. The BSN's at state hospitals are getting 3.00-5.00 more than the ASN's. Someone told me sometimes 10.00 more depends on the department. So is that true? moon30

_________________________________________________________________ I am so happy for you! :balloons: God does answered prayers even when we do not believe in our self :yelclap: . What is next hospital or agency? See ya, moon30

----------------------------------------- LPN's do the same thing as RN's in the hospital setting and in any setting. Can LPN's around the United States ask for a pay raise. My friend is a BSN and she stated that most of the LPN's she work with are better nurses in knowledge and experience as the seasoned RN's. She also stated that a LPN mentored her to be the great nurse she is today. She is still trying to encourage her mentor(LPN) to go for her RN because she can run circles around the RN's in her hospital. What Do You Think, moon30

---------------------------------------------------------------------- What do age have to do with nursing? Abraham was old and he is the father of all nations and that is in the bible . So if Abraham and Sarah did it you know you can with God's help. Take the class to gain experience in the nursing field. While taking the class talk to some of the instructors about your goals. Maybe they can talk :yelclap: to someone in nursing and put you on an alternate list if someone do not attend the next LPN class. Remember God do everything for a reason. :offtopic: I have a bachelor's degree and can not afford the RN program. The LPN will give me less class time to be a nurse vs the two year RN. Once I start working I will have experience and more money to pay for the RN program. God may send a hospital that will pay for my RN. :balloons: God will take care of you. Keep your head up, moon30

-------------------- Hello Browsing: You need to really think about your career. If you love business then do business. Nursing is taking care of a human life. Nursing as career the money looks nice, but if you hurt someone lawsuit, loss of licensure, and jail would be the career . Nursing is not for everyone mostly not for the money. God does not anwer when we want but right on time . Look at Psalm23 for guidance . Jesus died for you, moon30

-------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello: Before you think about nursing any other career pray first. :) I know this may sound strange because I am a stranger over the computer God knows what is best for us. Sometimes we make decisions without thinking then regret for wasting time . Best thing is pray then look at the whole picture. I am currently changing careers and it scares me. I am applying to nursing school only because God put me in a situation that I was hospitalize 6 times in 2004 and 2 times in 2005. When I saw the RN's treated sick people and the attutitudes that was exhibited by the nurses . I wanted to make a difference on how people should be treated. Nursing is a very serious career, but it is a wonderful one. I would like to show the sick that a nurse can have a heart:nurse: . Hope this help, moon30

Hello to Everyone: :Melody: What is the starting salary for a LPN coming out of school working in a doctor's office . How do new graduates find employment being an LPN? Do you start off at an agency , homehealth, nursing home, or hospital setting. Thanks, :) moon30

but, i can say that it is a relatively cheap school and the number of students is much smaller than alot of other schools. i was waiting in the office there the other day and as students were walking in i noticed that the seceretary knew them by name. i was pretty impressed with that. but i would just call if i were you and i'm pretty sure they have a waiting list for information to be sent when the program starts. hello: flecter do not know when the program will actually start :angryfire . it may start in the spring or fall of 2006. flecter is waiting on approval from some board that i forgot the name of . they may require you to take an entrance exam to get in, but they do not know what kind. the information that was given by the register :deadhorse is confusing . i went to nicholls and the professor stated that they are putting two-year rn protential students on hold to see; if flecter will start in the spring of 2006 . if you find some information, please tell me. thanks moon30

hello: I live in the Houma area. I know a 3brm apartment starts at 700-900.00 a month. Where are you moving for that little rent? That sounds real cheap for rural area of Louisiana. I was born and raised in New Orleans and moved to Houma because the rent for a single parent is cheaper than living in New Orleans. Also I have a friend that works at Touro in New Orleans as an RN and her rate of pay for three days a week is28.00 hour. seeya moon30
