No, she refuses to move.

So I have a bit of a predicament that I would love to gain some insight on from my more experienced peers here at allnurses, after all, there is wisdom in a multitude of counselors. So, I'm going to be taking my NCLEX soon and I am eager to find a place to work and gain experience. However, we've just learned that my wife's grandmother has become ill, and it doesn't look like she'll recuperate. This turn of events may mean that we might have to move cross country to help take care of her since nobody else in the family seems to want to do that for her. Since this theoretical move isn't going to happen for at least a couple months, what do you all think about how this should affect my job search. Should I not say anything and then when the moment comes explain that due to a family members health we'll have to relocate? Should I disclose this possibility upfront? Should I just wait until we move to the new state to begin looking for work, which may be a while, not mention waiting for license reciprocity? I really look forward to hearing from you all on this issue and I'll definitely take your opinions and advice into consideration when making my decision.

I appreciate all your comments and suggestions. I wouldn't have a problem working med/surg but the thing is that in my rural area the local hospital only employs LPN's in their urgent care facilities and doctor's offices. I could commute about 65 miles away to another hospital system that does use them, but I discoverd that they start their LPN's We also don't have any long-term acute care facilities in my area, which would leave LTC. I'd really like to avoid long-term care if possible.

They said they want to stay below $300

So I have a quick question that you all might be able to help me with. I just finished my LPN program and I'm waiting to take the NCLEX, hopefully soon. During my program, I got to choose a preceptor for Transition to Practice clinicals (last 120 hours), so I chose an RN that I had worked with before in the emergency department. I really fell in love with working in the ED. The scope of practice for LPN's is pretty wide here in this state so I pretty much got to do everything while I was precepting with them. I enjoyed the excitement and the camaraderie that was there. Albeit, the hospital wasn't in a huge city so it wasn't like we were seeing huge traumas come in all the time, but what we did get was a great learning experience. Anyways, my question is in regards to where I should look for work when I get my license. I know that around this area they don't hire LPN's for the ED, and I'm okay with that. I've already begun the steps to bridge to RN so I realize the ED might have to wait till then. In the meantime, what do you all think about working in an urgent care facility? I did get the chance to spend a few independent clinicals at two such facilities and I enjoyed them, but it's been a while ago. I know one of the places told me to come back and apply after I got my license so it is a viable option. Do you think that it's the closest thing to working in the ED that I can enjoy at the moment? I look forward to hearing your thoughts and past experiences. Hope everyone is having a good week so far and thanks in advance for the replies.

Here are few options I found in just a few minutes. I really really recommend ASUS laptops or even Acer nowadays. I tend to stay away from HP since they don't seem to last. The nice thing about ASUS is that their laptops usually carry a warranty that covers against drops and spills. I used to build computers and fix laptops before I started nursing school so the above recommendations are from personal experience. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-vivobook-max-x541na-15-6-laptop-intel-pentium-4gb-memory-500gb-hard-drive-chocolate-black/6029900.p?skuId=6029900 https://www.walmart.com/ip/ASUS-VivoBook-Flip-14-Thin-Light-2-in-1-HD-Touchscreen-Laptop-Intel-Quad-Core-Pentium-N4200-Processor-2-5GHz-4GB-RAM-64GB-EMMC-Storage-Windows-10-Home/56161743 https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-2-in-1-14-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i3-6gb-memory-500gb-hard-drive-hp-finish-natural-silver/5868706.p?skuId=5868706&ref=199&loc=zhehdLHc0f8&acampID=1&siteID=zhehdLHc0f8-YnfpqYSfKXhmtd27xwqmTA

They have housekeeping? Wow, every urgent care that I did clinicals in during my LPN program had nowhere near this amount of staff. I can see your point now.

The program I just finished included A&P, but we could take it beforehand to cut off time from the program length. There are some colleges like New Mexico Junior College that offer A&P with lab online. I took it there because I could transfer the credits to OU for their LPN-BSN bridge program.

I remember a little over a year ago I made a post talking about finishing the first month of my LPN program and my thoughts about it. Well, I made it, I finally finished the program this month, ahead of graduation (June 1st). Now the only thing that remains is prepping for the NCLEX, which I'm hoping to take in the next couple of weeks. I look forward to continuing on and bridging to RN, hopefully later this year or the start of next year. One thing that I do want to say is this website has been an invaluable source of information throughout my program and I want to thank the community here at allnurses for helping me through LPN school. I look forward to joining the ranks as a nurse soon, and I hope that I might possibly help students that are starting this year to be successful in their programs.

I'm only a few days from finishing my LPN program, I've completed all my tests and studying for the NCLEX now. More to the point, the last part of my program dealt with management/delegation. Most of my last few tests had to do with delegating appropriate tasks to assistive personnel. Taking vital signs would fall under a task that we could delegate out to a tech/CNA. I have to agree with SourLemon, that seems like an odd policy if that really is the case.

Actually, I took Spanish clep and transferred it to New Mexico Junior College, got 16 credits for it. I taught myself Spanish, had never taken a class before, so I was a little nervous about how it would turn out. However, 16 years of speaking it and being around the community really paid off.

LPN-BSN track - BSN | College of Health and Human Services There are some stipulations about which states you can take the course in, however, if you notice it states no campus visits. When you download the clinical information sheet it says you need to find BSN preceptors for each clinical module.

The link might be broken yes, but I just googled the first one at Indiana State University and they still have their program. It offers local clinicals where you are at, and online classes. I'm not saying that they're the best options but there are LPN-BSN options out there for those that need them.

Same thing here in Oklahoma. I really am surprised that it happens in other states too.
