    SE_BSN_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Hmm, we were told to list our clinical experience on our resume, and only put jobs down if they were relevant to nursing. Do employers want to know that I worked childcare from 1997-2000 and then at...

    Don't move to CA unless you can afford a house for over $500K and above. Yeah nurses make good money there but do you want to pay half a million or more for a house there? Take it from me, I lived in...

    If you are in Cali you have to wait 91 days. I recommend Kaplan's RN book, even tho you are taking the VN. That book has some great hints and tips at narrowing down to the correct answer even if...

    Major differences in tasks LPN vs. RN

    SE_BSN_RN replied to Emma123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LPN's can't do teaching? Patient teaching? How dumb is that? Go for your RN. As soon as I get my year's worth of state residency here so I don't have to pay out of state tuition, I am so in RN school....

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

    question about "select all that apply"
