    Considering leaving hospital after new grad internship

    SE_BSN_RN replied to GypseyGirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Corey Narry's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    All these differences in the levels of nursing just confuses me. Ugh! I thought the DNP was the "terminal degree" in nursing. What's the difference between the PhD and DNP? They aren't the same? And...

    Any LPN to RN online programs that are accepted nationwide?

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Luvsexytrstno1's topic in LPN to RN

    They are expensive. When I thought about doing my BSN through them, I met with a rep and they wanted $9500 up front (that was a discount!) and then some time later they wanted another $9500, plus the...

    Homecare Nurses

    SE_BSN_RN replied to nursemartin00's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My question is why is she texting you? My company has a strict policy about not giving patients our home/cell numbers, but we do have each other nurse's numbers that work with that client. That, and I...

    Thanks. I know what they pay is for the GN, just not for after, and if it (the pay) is competitive. The program itself is very competitive, but was looking for pros/cons of the program....and so far I...

    Ah, great info! TCN isn't the most informing company, I think they just want you to sign up by telling you a bunch of you know what. I don't understand how businesses are allowed to get away with this...

    Organization and shoe question for new nursing student..

    New Balance is the only shoe I wear. If you have a Good Feet store near you, they can help with proper shoes, too, by analyzing your feet and finding the right shoe to help with your back. And don't...

    Excelsior is definately a money maker and that's it. I looked into them when I was looking for a LPN-BSN and you have to go through the College Network for books and stuff, and the cost is outrageous....

    I graduated from CC in the bay area in 2005. My starting salary back then as a new grad LVN would have been $34/hr in LTC. There's no way a RN in Sac makes $52/hr. The bay area, yes, but not...

    The problem with the pay scale, at least at my old job, was based on 1-5 years of experience, 5-10 years, 10-15 years and 15+, and most of the time it was only $1 difference from one group of years to...
