YOu won't become an effective nurse if that is your sole reason

The process will always depend on the state. Sometimes, it could be a little tricky. You have two options to do, either moving to a state that shares reciprocity or retake the CNA test and re certify in that particular state. Try to visit the official website of your future state, and figure out which path you will need to follow. or you may try to refer to this guide here, How to Transfer your CNA License to Another State | CNA Exam Cram

I believe there are so many factors that concerns about the licensing. I would agree that schools or maybe the nursing trainings are not created equal. So that's one factor why licensing is needed. It could be that, a certain student may have graduated from his/her nursing training but the question is, is he/her qualified enough to enter the real world of nursing after he/she graduated. Another thing also is, if there would be no licensing procedure in nursing or in whatever career, people would probably not be serious in taking the trainings.

Oh....I remember one term.... "X-tray"

...Oh... did I just see "their" and "there"? I often encounter these two but not a big deal to me. can't blame them.

that is something really untidy. Why let the hair untied? and why did they ever enter nursing if they don't know how to take care of this simple thing?

Why would I if that's what supports me and my family. Unless I see something inappropriate.

If I were an LPN with that so many loads of responsibilities including med surg. I would really not put myself down. I will stand and be proud that I got to perform the same duties as RNs.

Regardless of what belief you got as long as you have that skill rooted in your veins then you can be a great nurse.

Best of luck to you. I would rather listen to my own instinct.

If I were you, I would also make time for myself. Take your studies seriously but never ever forget your life outside your nursing school or nursing career. Either you are single or married or have kids while studying nursing, you can still enjoy your life if you only wish to. Just try to manage your schedules very well. If possible, spend your time on useful yet enjoyable experiences. You can never regret a time well-spent.

If you believe in your instinct that you can be a great nurse, then there's no use into stopping. You can be a great help in the community. Maybe let just focus on not going into not-credible schools.

In new jersey, LPNs rate here is usually $20/hr.

It's a question that branches to more questions... It's actually just common sense, if you think asking the Doctor would be best way then do it. I do think experience will be your best teacher, so at first ask the Doctor then as you experience more thing, I'm sure you don't have to ask.

I am about to graduate this year, I am 30 years old, took up nursing 5 years ago. I actually was a technology graduate before I decided to try nursing. It's been a good decision, imagine my shift from technology to medical.
