  4. I don't get why you have to become a RN first ?

    LittleWing21 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are direct-entry programs that do not require you to work as an RN first. I chose not to go this route personally because I wanted the experience that being an RN would give me (this is def...

    LittleWing21 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    LittleWing21 replied to JulsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Since they haven't put any time or resources into training you, I don't see why you would have to pay money. But it all depends on the details of your contract and whether or not they are flexible...

  7. Dancing...and nursing??

    LittleWing21 replied to Missy89's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    LittleWing21 replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  13. Is there a market out there for LPN's?

    LittleWing21 replied to ann22's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The LPN situation varies greatly from state to state. It seems that states that can be pickier (aka Mass!) don't have a huge market outside of LTC. That's not to say jobs don't exist outside nursing...
