    inthepipeline replied to Abguy's topic in General Students

    inthepipeline replied to Mkelly's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  4. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    inthepipeline replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Hello, I was a financial aid officer before I switched to healthcare. The $2,500 from the FAFSA does not make sense unless you are talking only about the Pell Grant. My numbers may be slightly off...

    inthepipeline replied to SunDevilNurse15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I actually spoke with a nurse who went to med school after being a nurse for 8 years. Working as a nurse made him realize he wanted to be a doc. He had no regrets about becoming a nurse, just that...

    inthepipeline replied to NurseCalii's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  13. Financial Justification of Staff Nurse

    inthepipeline replied to PG2018's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm an LPN and do all that stuff except the PA's. How you utilize your LPNs and MA's largely depends on your workflow and nature of your practice. So if you have more injections, infusions,...

  14. PHRN/EMT-P

    inthepipeline replied to inthepipeline's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thank for your responses. I'll probably end of doing it backwards and that's what I was inquiring about. Jadelpn there are RN to EMT-P programs in other states, which is why I inquired as to if...

  15. Question on cna to lvn transition program.

    inthepipeline replied to Kristinmom's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    inthepipeline replied to Chesterton1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  18. Work as PMHNP & staff RN on the side

    inthepipeline posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do PMHNPs work as an RN in another specialty on the side sometimes? For example if you work in the ER as an RN, then become a PMHNP and do PMHNP full or almost full time then still do some ER shifts....

    inthepipeline replied to xoalyssaxo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hurst was a really good content review for me and I've heard good things (but have not used) the Success series of books. Also the Kaplan review book "NCLEX - Pn ( or RN) Strategies, Practice, and...

  20. If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    inthepipeline replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    And yes doctors can and have taken the different steps of their licensure exams (all 3) multiple times and just like our license exam how often they can is dictated by the state they seek licensure...

  21. If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    inthepipeline replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help but notice the irony in OP's suggestion: you are not knowledgable or competent enough to pass the NCLEX RN so you should be given an LVN license. However the OP is not knowledgeable or...

    inthepipeline replied to Jeisikah's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm in the last semester of an LPN program and have polled some of my classmates (most of whom are CNAs) and looked on my own. In MA I've seen corrections (through MHM staffing) as new grad friendly....

  25. Experience with HR

    inthepipeline replied to imintrouble's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree that HR is a huge risk. Remember, HR is there for the company, not the employees. They only help out employees when it is in the best interest of the company. An HR worker's job does not...
