    lpn to rn online

    Lunah replied to TMORRIS52's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Can you not repeat the class you failed? You will be basically starting over with Excelsior, and the wait time for the clinical exam is about a year right

    Going into EMS?

    Lunah replied to TNViking's topic in Emergency

    Just to clarify, 68W is not the LPN MOS - that is a 68C, formerly 68WM6. My husband was a 68W, and I was a 66M5 nurse (now 66T). I just don't want people to get the wrong idea that 68Ws are actually...

    Covered Up a Narcotic Med Error

    Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    The "one time dose" thing happens, I have seen it. People are pretty touchy about narcotics, though. If this was something like Colace it would not even be a discussion here, though still a med

    Let's not forget the neighbor patient who also got an incorrect medication according to the OP. Was that one covered up as

    Online Faculty with MSN?

    Lunah replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Unfortunately, my "day job" is 40+ hours/week. I would love to drop down to part time, but that is not available for me in my current role. My future fantasy job is only teaching online after my...

    DUI in last semester of RN school- My journey.

    Lunah replied to madeamistake's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Are you familiar with the implied consent that most states attach to having a drivers license? By virtue of accepting your drivers license, you agree to take blood or breath tests if required. If you...

    DUI and Entering Nursing School

    Lunah replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It's not just the school that might have an issue, it's the clinical locations - that is usually the sticking point. You need to speak to your school immediately, and don't just ask if they have any...

    Covered Up a Narcotic Med Error

    Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Though we only hear one side of this, I don't think the husband is "reacting out of proportion." A patient was given an incorrect medication and it was covered up. That does not foster trust! If I...

    Online Faculty with MSN?

    Lunah replied to mommy2boysaz's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I make $3400 per course per 8-week session teaching online for a university. No benefits. You won't make anything close to your current salary, which is why I do the teaching part-time and maintain...

    Seeking advice about taking classes while on Active Duty. (Army)

    Lunah replied to Traumasaurus's topic in Government, Military

    My schedule as an active duty Army ER/trauma RN was neither set nor flexible. I could not have attended classes in person between my shifts and collateral duties. I could only do online courses, so...

    Chatham vs NOVA DNP program

    Lunah replied to deediaz's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Ugh, I am sorry, but it sounds like it is for the best. I am really questioning the wisdom of starting a program myself, between my day job, family, and part-time teaching

    Depends on where you are. This is often a regional thing. But if your future employer requires a BSN, then yes - you would have to get it

    Visible tattoos appropriate for RN's?

    Lunah replied to jayne12's topic in General Students

    I have full sleeves, and I keep them covered at work - even when I don't have to. My tattoos are a personal choice and I don't really need to show them in my professional life. I prefer to keep...

    Chatham vs NOVA DNP program

    Lunah replied to deediaz's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Derp. Sorry, had a momentary brain cramp. lol. So many programs I looked at had shorter courses, but I like it that Chatham's courses are 14 weeks. That makes 2 at a time seem more

    MBA or no? Need Major Advice

    Lunah replied to raecudzy1's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think at the end of a $35K MBA one of your biggest points of learning would be that you spent way too much! Drop this program now. My boss has an MBA and it serves her well in her role as a VP, but...
