    Very odd exchange. Seems way too silly to be getting called into anyone's office

    How many years away from bedside is too many?

    My area requires 1-2 years acute care experience in the last 5 years. Check into your area to see what hospitals state in their job

    Continuing Education

    LPN to RN is your first step. This is imperative REGARDLESS of what step you take. LPN/LVN to BSN programs exist, but I have NEVER seen a LPN/LVN to MSN program. While they may exist, I would not...

    Job searching: heads up or no heads up?

    Wanting to expand your experience is never a bad thing. In interviews, they'll ask why you want to transfer. As long as you don't paint a picture of your previous boss as the worst guy ever, it should...

    How long to work in one place?

    I hope to eventually find a gig that I would retire in. Finding supportive staff that you click with is impossible, it seems. I would heavily encourage you to stay where you are

    Concern

    If no criminal charges ever came about, the BON isn't going to know unless you explicitly tell them. If you were involuntarily commited, that may show up, but otherwise voluntary treatment shouldn't....

    Go to cheaper school and use Pell grant first! If your main concern is cost, this is the best option. Especially because community colleges can offer smaller grants and scholarships to their students...

    What's your best catch?

    As a relatively new grad still on orientation, I had a 28 year-old patient on tons of chemo. He wasn't responding to treatment and with a heavy heart, his mother had to make her baby a DNR. He was...

    Worry about the now. You cannot predict whether or not your plans will change in the mean time. Do you guys make too much to utilize the Pell grant? You CANNOT use the Pell grant during your MSN...

    Throwing in the Towel

    You're weeks away from finishing. Once you finish, consider taking some time off AWAY from nursing. Then, start studying. It may be that you're suffering from burn out. LPNs learn a lot in such a...

    Univ. of Cincinnati-FNP Fall 2018

    When I was considering U of C it was nearly impossible to find tuition rates. After much digging, their MSN program was 40 k for it's entirety. So, I believe you would be correct. I had a friend...
