  1. Idaho students! Advise on Carrington college please!

    ashleebaby02 replied to alinkastar's topic in LPN to RN

    Well for instance none of my credits from my Lpn would count toward the RN program at any college except for excelsior and carrington. You are just more limited on where you can work, as an RN who...

  3. Idaho students! Advise on Carrington college please!

    ashleebaby02 replied to alinkastar's topic in LPN to RN

    I am going through Idaho state university for my Lpn to RN. I went to carrington for my Lpn but the RN program is not accredited. I would say choose another program unless you want to work in

    ashleebaby02 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  7. Why is Med-Surg so hated?

    ashleebaby02 replied to Nola009's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Med surg is definitely not an easy floor to work. Burn out is extremely high, if it werent for my amazing coworkers I don't think I would last much longer. Our patient load usually runs 1:4-5 usually...

  8. 3rd shift nursing as a new nurse with no experience

    ashleebaby02 replied to LittleCandles's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Has anyone taken biology 2 online? How was it? I have the option to take lecture and lab online, I just had a baby so the more time I can be at home the better. What about microbiology online? I have...

  12. Online biology?

    ashleebaby02 replied to ashleebaby02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would be taking the course through the school I'm hoping to attend for my RN so that shouldn't be an issue. I've taken many courses online and they do seem to be more work with research and the...

  13. LVN OR STRAIGHT TO RN program as a single parent

    ashleebaby02 replied to Mscris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Office nursing

    ashleebaby02 replied to didi768's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm sure they will teach you how to obtain an EKG. I learned on the job. Same goes for phlebotomy, if you already have your cert. you really only need some experience. I wouldn't lie. I would say "I...
