    how are the lpn classes at memphis technology and what to expect during the program

    Murse901 replied to TEE_NORMAN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I graduated from TN Tech @ Memphis this past June. Send me a PM and I will give you a little information that might help keep your neck above the water and out of the chopping

    Money from a patient?

    Murse901 replied to jack4408's topic in General Nursing

    My two cents is that it's not so much as unethical as it is just not a good practice to accept monetary gifts. Do you tip your doctor? Do you tip your lab technician? If you want to uphold the image...

    Murse901 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, A friend of mine and I are in a little disagreement about breastfeeding. She is still breastfeeding her 2 1/2 year old children. The AAP and WHO recommend breastfeeding exclusively to 6...

    LPN pay in West TN

    Murse901 posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hi, Just curious if anyone knows of the pay rates for LPN's in various facilities in West TN, specifically Memphis. Checking Salary.com, it says the median pay rate for LPN's in Memphis is 36k,...

    PMHNP or FNP w/ Psych BA?

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for the responses. I'll probably go to Vandy for the FNP, since you don't have to repeat courses if you go back for a second NP specialty. At least this gives me an idea of what to

    St Francis Memphis - Nurse tech?

    Murse901 replied to Mommy TeleRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Can you send me the same PM? I'm curious myself. Graduating LPN school in a few weeks and will be considering taking a nurse tech position once I'm in RN school, since (sadly) many hospitals pay their...

    St Francis Memphis - Nurse tech?

    Murse901 replied to Mommy TeleRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm not sure what St. Francis pays, and I couldn't even begin to speculate. Baptist reportedly pays $18/hr (according to a friend of a classmate who is one) The Med reportedly pays $15/hr (according...

    tubal reversal and regret it

    Murse901 replied to WantingBaby's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm not sure what this topic has to do with Tennessee nursing, but I think this would be something better discussed with your physician. There probably isn't anyone on these forums with access to your...

    1 year FNP program--does it exist?

    Murse901 replied to brownrice's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've been looking hard at Vandy myself, and I have yet to find an NP specialty longer than 3 semesters/39 credits. In fact, I'm looking at the Peds page right now at...

    :( Sad - LPN (little pretend nurse comment)

    Murse901 replied to Amyjosonata's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think this is just a case of a person who knows they're in a dead-end job. Physician Assistants are stuck where they are. That person will either have to go through medical school or become a nurse...

    OB rotation is awesome

    A Para 1, Gravida 0 would hardly be called "textbook". That would definitely be an interesting

    OB rotation is awesome

    Murse901 replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I finished my OB rotations last week. Working in the OB unit was awesome, but I was disappointed in my rotations, because I never saw a birth. Not because I was refused (in fact, no patient ever...

    The MED in memphis?

    Murse901 replied to lblondie1128's topic in Emergency

    The Med is the closest thing we have to a "county hospital" here. If you know anything about that, you know that it's going to be a rough place to work. Anyone without insurance is taken to the Med,...

    Is professor homophobic or just tough?

    Murse901 replied to RISC601's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Considering the fact that you've given absolutely no example of the incidents that are causing you to have concerns, I don't think anyone can give any real opinion on your situation.The only opinion...

    Southwest TN Community College (Memphis)

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Thanks for the replies. I finally did get an answer back. :) As far as Union University, I've done a little research on them. They seem to be pretty popular, but I just don't think they're what I'm...

    Southwest TN Community College (Memphis)

    Murse901 posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hello all. I'm a current LPN student, and am planning on starting my RN pre-reqs once I get my license. I'm planning on going to Southwest for the LPN-to-RN fast track. Does anyone have any experience...

    Does RN experience make NP school easier?

    Murse901 replied to Nursing P.'s topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If it makes it easier for Med school, I would imagine it would make it easier for NP school. I don't know from personal experience, but I've read several stories about RN's who excelled in Med school...

    No Registered Nurse Shortage in TN

    Murse901 replied to dina2001's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The OP's thread title, although misleading, is obviously sarcasm. The state has the shortage issues that the rest of the nation is having. Take a look at the job postings for Methodist Hospital in...

    nursing in Peurto Rico

    Murse901 replied to llbtfeet's topic in Travel

    Not to burst your bubble, but if I'm not mistaken, Puerto Rico has an overabundance of nurses, many of which are trying to work in the U.S. just to have a job (aside from the other obvious

    STUPID ATI testing

    Murse901 replied to Janinern84's topic in General Students

    50%? Our school requires us to make 81%. Doesn't make much sense to me, since it would seem that 50% on the national percentile would mean "average", right? 81% is pretty exceptional on a percentile...

    Murse901 replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

    My mother was a unit secretary at a small hospital in Indiana for about 2 years. After getting her LPN license and getting a nursing job at that hospital, she actually made 50 cents LESS an hour than...

    STUPID ATI testing

    Murse901 replied to Janinern84's topic in General Students

    I hate these things! They're supposed to prepare us for the NCLEX, yet somehow I manage to totally flunk these exams, and I manage to pass exams in other NCLEX review materials. I don't think that the...

    This article insults nursing as a lower skilled job

    Murse901 replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the title of the article is misleading and a poor choice of words, but the article itself was completely
