I've been in the OR for 2 years and will be getting my CNOR soon. My goal is to become an RNFA but my facility is not very supportive of me learning how to scrub.. I know it's not the ideal to not know how to scrub, but I'm wondering if it is okay to attend school first. Thoughts/Opinions/Advise would be much appreciated.

Hello all, I have 3 years experience at an Internal Medicine clinic (adults, geriatrics, pediatrics, and acute care) as an LPN and 1 year experience at a neuro and spine unit as an RN. I applied to some neuro ICU positions and was contacted by a manager on a position available. She said the interview will mainly be to see if I will be able to appropriately handle ICU or to see if I have to go through another residency program. I felt confident at first because I have a passion for neuro and am pretty good at my job but how do I prepare for an ICU position interview with no ICU experience? What should I prepare myself with/review for the interview?

A little background: I was a LPN for an internal medicine clinic for 3.5 years. I am now a RN at a neuro/spine unit (1 year) while still working at the clinic PRN. I love bedside nursing and neuro/spine but am not satisfied with the pay and I currently feel that I’m “stuck” and have a “is this it?” mentality. I’m considering both the AGACNP route and the Nurse Executive Leadership/Administration route and am not sure which to take. I’ve heard some nurses who’ve completed their MSN AGACNP and are unable to find jobs so that is why I am considering the Nurse Leadership/Admin route, but don’t know much about those who have gotten this, availability of finding a job, or what type of jobs they do. Any insight on either paths or advice/suggestions from those who’ve gone through what I am feeling are greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your response!

Hello everyone, I am a soon to be graduate from a BSN program and am interested in pursuing a higher degree after I gain some experience. I know this is too soon, but I'd rather try and see my options and plan ahead as much as I can. I am currently an LPN and will be working as a BSN in CCU. I know that most places require a minimum of 1 year experience in CCU but my GPA is rather low at 2.986. I still have a chance to get it above a 3.0 but it is not in a competitive level (maybe 3.1ish?) by the time I graduate. Are there other ways to "stand out" with just a standard/minimum GPA requirement? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I am currently a nursing student and have black to silver/grey ombre hair. I am in need of a retouch and would like to go all silver/grey. Before asking my instructors, I would like to know if there are other students with haircolor that are unique and have had or not had problems. My instructors havent said anything so far in the program.

I applied for the one in nashville and knoxville.

Has anyone applied to the TCAT LPN program in Nashville or Knoxville? I recently applied and was wondering when we find out if we got accepted or denied? Thank you!
