Does anyone have any information on available scholarships for LPN to RN bridge programs? I just saw the bill for my first semester and am in sticker shock! I can get some tuition assistance from my work and a student loan for some of it, but the res...

I think in some cases it is an attitude promoted by administration (hospital primarily). We are about to undergo a change in "definition" and probably uniform as well in the near future. I'm not so sure what this is going to accomplish except to tak...

Sad.. very sad.

I agree with you. RUN! It is too hectic here!

Hey, I'm 59 years old and enrolled in an ADN program. No sweat! You'll do just fine!

We all touch another life in so many ways. As she touched yours, you also touched hers and each of your lives were both bettered by it. Your feelings are quite normal - you have experienced a loss.... and you will grow from it as well. I have learn...

Yes, please HIT ME. I would pursue him to the ends of the earth with the meanest, most evil tempered attorney I could afford.

This news item made it to the Keith Olberman show yesterday and got curious. I picked this up from the local newspaper called The Journal. Particularly sad is the reported statement the doctor made at the time of his arrest... ""I am a (expletive) ...

You are SO right about not living in a mature society. I was tailgated this evening by a woman with an unbelted child in the front seat (I could tell by the way he was bouncing around in the seat that he wasn't restrained). I tried everything in my p...

All this is making my head spin! I'll be retiring (early) and will leave it to the rest of you to duke it out. The only thing that scares me is that when my husband and I are older and in need of professional care, that nursing will have imploded du...

After the day I had yesterday, absolutely NOT!

:mortarboard: Congratulations! I know you worked hard for that.

AAAAAMEN!

Me too. I'm OUT of both parties - too disgusted with each to vote for ANY of them.

Agree. I wonder how long this might last if they find they are paying 4 or 5 people overtime instead of one?

Interesting case in Illinois - in favor of reporting. http://www.state.il.us/court/Opinions/AppellateCourt/2000/2ndDistrict/February/HTML/2981489.htm

No burn intended Hunter, but it was ironic to read your reply to this post and then look at your signature line. Now, in response to the question at hand, I think much will depend on the laws in your state. This is, like for for many others, one ...

only accept the salary you are willing to accept. many places (not just hospitals but any employer really) will "lowball" your offer. if you accept, fine for them. but then you will not have a leg to stand on if you find out later you can't live on t...

Sometimes it "feels" like a million to one. But usually its 5 to one days, 6 to one evenings (hospital). Most always all are acutely ill - the ratios even though they seem small in number can be overwhelming if all of them are having serious problem...

Don't sweat the small stuff...from small-minded people. You do your own job and if YOU are satisfied with you at the end of the shift, well, thats what matters. If, however, you find that something untrue was said, you must be prepared to defend you...

Hey don't fret! :wink2: I'm 58 and back in class! Some of these kids could be GRANDkids! Think how it feels for me! haha! You'll do just fine! Good luck to you!

If you are wanting to become an LPN I don't think there are any on-line programs for that. You really need to attend a class and especially get clinical experience as you go. Brick and mortar LPN schools will give you this valuable experience. If you...

I contacted Excelsior directly regarding their program. They very explicitly told me that they were not connected to the College Network but that CN prepared study guides etc based on their courses. They also advised me to contact them (Excelsior) di...

I hope someone notifies the EOC on this restriction! If the school accepts federal funds, they cannot discriminate based on age.

Don'tcha just hate it when that happens? Don't worry. An honest mistake. Good luck!
