Open Question: Associate of Applied Science (Nursing)...?

In a nutshell, if I go to school shooting for this degree, will I be an LPN or RN? I'm asking because a school I'm interested in offers this degree (as well as a regular Associates degree in nursing). I just asked the guidance counselor there, and she was of no help. more

Open Question: I have a bachelors but would like to become an LPN any accredited online programs available?

I have a bachelors in general business from an accredited college. I currently work in the assisted living industry, have a passion for it, and would like to pursue an LPN or RN license simply to provide nursing care to assisted living residents (I would not like to work within a hospital setting). The current community colleges in my area have 2-year waiting lists and I would like to begin a program now. Are there any accredited programs online that provide a LPN degree or RN degree? Thanks. more

Resolved Question: Not sure what to do!?

I currently work full time and have 3 children under the age of 14. I'm thinking of going back to school for nursing because I love to help people and take care of them. I can work part time and go to LPN school part time, but I'm looking into whether the local community college offers night classes for the RN degree since I already have my associates degree. I've been wanting to do nursing for over 6 years now. Should I take the chance and go with my heart or stay in the job that I hate because it's stable? more

Resolved Question: Is it really impossible to get into nursing school in Washington State?

I have my bachelor of science degree in psychology from Portland State University in Portland, OR. My gpa there was 3.98 and I am of asian/Hispanic descent. Now I want to get mt AA in nursing. My friend is telling me I'm never going to get in, much less be able to work for a hospital once I get my degree since I have no experience. He said that the waiting list is like 2 years and believes I am wasting my time, and that I should try to become an LPN like he is. But I dont want to waste my time with that, I just want to save my money and resources to become an RN. Is it an impossible dream after all? more

Voting Question: Should I feel this way about not getting into the Practical Nursing program?

I started college in November.I really wanted to get into the LPN program but i failed the admission test.( I'm really bad at math) I passed the admissions testing for medical assisting though. Since Nov I have been going towards my degree in health sciences with a major in medical assisting. The thing is I really want to be in the LPN program! Im secretly jealous of the LPN students which I know is completely childish and selfish. Is it okay to feel this way? Or should I feel grateful I'm even being given the chance to go to school for health care- whether in be practical nursing or medical assisting? Should I really be even going for this degree this if it's not what I want to do in the long run? Sorry this has just been bugging me for some time thx! more

Resolved Question: PTA, LPN TO AN RN OR BSN?

Hi all, I'm trying to make a huge decision. I'm 28, have a 19 month old, currenly working at a job that I hate, making $12.64 per hour. So this is why I am back in school. I have my AA degree, and originially I was thinking of going in the PTA program, have a few prereqs left.. (4 to be exact), although I'm reading and for Orlando, FL, I was finding that PTA's aren't making a whole lot of money unless you are working in a nursing home or in someone's home. I don't want that. Then I thought of going to school to be an LPN (would have to take 4 classes to get into that program), then going through thath program for 1 year, then get into the RN program career track. Which is only 1 year, but then on top of that, that is 7 MORE prereqs I would need to get into the RN. Then I thought of getting my AS as an RN. Which would be 7 prereq classes, then the 2 years of the program. The issues I am facing which might turn me completely off are dealing with is that I cannot handle changing diapers of a 90 year old man, or anything gross like vomit. I have a terrible gag reflux. I have Barretts Esophogas, I'm not sure if it's related, but I haven't always been this way. Needles don't bother me. I don't want to miss a whole lot of time with my son, but at the same time, I am trying to better our lives. Any advice at all would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks for listening :) more

Resolved Question: Degrees/certificates available? HELP! Military wife!?

My husband is going to be restationed out of state soon. I already have an associates and many pre-nursing classes finished. We could be stationed in a specific state anywhere from 2-4 years...I ideally am looking to get into at least an LPN program, but being that nursing programs have such long waiting lists, I was wondering the following: What job certificates or degrees are commonly available at many schools and supply you with the following?: -a decent wage (I know not much compares with RN unless you want YEARS of school) -preferrably a 2-year or LESS program -a waitlist that won't take forever -the ability to transfer through several different states (We'll be restationed again at some point!) -the possibility for a somewhat flexible schedule later (I do eventually want children and being able to move to part-time and back for a few years would be wonderful) ANY Job meeting these requirenments I am more than interested in hearing about! It doesn't necessarily need to be in the healthcare field, though it can be. If you have a job meeting said requirements please let me know all the info! Thanks so very much! more

Voting Question: I have my associates degree in Liberal Arts and now I want to be a nurse. What are my options?

Voting Question: how do i get out of the feelings i have? Every Valentine card makes me feel SICK!!(long but need help thnx?

My husband just one night pushed me out of bed when i was sleeping and he was on facebook. I didnt know WTF was going on, this was just out of the blue no inications before. He wouldnt let me sleep on the couch and for the next 4 months I could only sleep in my daughters room. He wouldnt let me back in the bedroom. He had turned 40 and met all his old highschool people online and even went to go see them. He told me that I was going to leave and that he wasnt my husband anymore. I WAS totally shocked. HE has just started staying at home from his work, because of less travel, Because of this I was able to find a part time job, working for a respectable university, and had applied and been accepted into nursing school...SO everything was on track for what we both had planned when he started staying home more (me to go to work for my career and him spend more time with the kids) I kept standing up for myself and 4 children told him I was not leaving that it was my house not just his and i wasnt leaving my children either.. Finally one day he got so angry when i said no that he pushed my forehead and I called the cops. they arrested him. He was let back into the house because he works from home and has office there. The trial date wasnt untill 2 1/2 months later. We went through thanksgiving , christmas estranged in the same home but still off and on having sex. He would often say that he loved me but didnt like me. The arrest had traumatized him, Having to bend over naked so they could check for drugs. I didnt feel sorry for him at all. But told him I would never do it again...( I lied I did do it again, please keep reading) He couldnt threaten or touch me during the time he was allowed back in the home. After christmas he tried to get me to leave again by agreement. I said no, he ended up getting so mad again that he grabbed me and pushed me against the wall lightly grabbed my throat (he was restraining himself) and yelled at me that he Hated me.... and wanted me to leave. (Now...side note...I have never been unfaithful in 16 years...kept my body up....dont have any friends because didnt want to make him jealous wanted to put his mind at ease while he was away from home....have been a recluse at home because I wanted to wait for him to do things with the kids...LIke boyscouuts, or football, and church.. The only thing I did was go to school got a 2yr degree and now in LPN school; Also, I was an Executive secretary for a large famous Corporation when we were first married...so I would manage his work...even though his boss didnt know.. I did a lot of contract work, including finding contracts for him...so basically work from home for my husband Everything has been for my husband!) \ SO I said I would leave, packed my stuff, he fixed my car, bought some stuff for nursing school I needed, and gave me just a little$ and I went to me moms. I was going to be back on Sunday to pick up a check I needed for school. Well I came back on Saturday instead and called told him I was there and wanted to see the kids. He blessed me out and said I was never coming back that I had LEFT the home and we were getting a separation agreement next week! WELL he was in our house because that first arrest I had let him back in to work. I could have had him arrested for what he did to me that day I had left...So three days later (sunday) I had brusies on me where he had pushed me. I had him arrested...this time It was a felony because he violated the first order not to harrase me. By this time I was thinking it was probalbly best just to leave everything and not fight it anymore. He said I have family here and he doesnt, so I have a place to go. I was tetering back and forth "why sHould I have to give up everthing when He is the one that doesnt want our family together with me anymore.. his ass should be out!" and "I dont want to rock the boat for him, I have been home for 16 years and taking care of everything while helping him getting up to where he has a big $$ job now...all the shit I put up with him and the house and kids that he didnt recognize because he was traveling..Its His turn to take over EVERYHthing that I know exists and he doesnt understand in our home.... I can now have a time for me" SO I decided I didnt want to prosecute for the second time of arrest. because he was the only way our kids could keep their lifestyle and I could keep mine.....the only way to get out of it was to prove I have some kind of mental illness.... (i dont) But I went to a psych. and convinced them I was came out with MEDs and a diagnosis. When the 2nd trial day came up they dismissed after me convincing them i had a Mental break down and didnt know which end was up because I couldnt remember what happend. ALSI, I felt horrible because I know there are other cases that are much worse than mine and lots of them deserve to be in prison and convicted. But I wanted him to stop because the second time more

Resolved Question: Do my inlaws hate me? You decide??? What should I do?

They say almost nothing to me when I come over...They forgot to wrap my presents for Christmas...they are offended that I am not Catholic, although have never said...they all have professional degrees and I am simply an LPN...they love all the other in-laws...there are 9 married kids..except me it seems...they are very very subtle...but I feel it..last Christmas when some family members came in to my hubby's mom's house, they said hi to everyone, even him (sitting right next to me) expect me!!! Then my hubby tells me it is all in my head. We got married when I got pregnant too a few years ago...but they have known about me for a while, before that. A friend of mine works at a hospital with one of my hubby's sisters who was quoted as telling her that he was no longer with me right as we were engaged...although this was "before" the pregnancy. I am rarely included on family emails. I just want to know what you think because I am going CRAZY. I feel so left out but I can't put my finger on it. I just know that I am treated different and it hurts. more

Resolved Question: Best way to earn an LPN degree?

I graduated a few years ago with a bachelors of science and decided not to apply for graduate school and start working in my field (well, not really my field. But working nonetheless!). My husband recently joined the Navy as an officer which means we'll be moving around the US every few years. I've decided to make a career change and am having trouble finding some information. I know two year nursing (R.N) programs are VERY competitive- I thought it may be better for me to earn an LPN degree first and then work on my R.N. Can someone explain where I can do this program- besides just a community college? Are there technical schools? How do I get in? And what's a break down of the admission process. I plan on doing my pre-requisites over because it's been three years since my advanced chem/bio/math courses. And also doing volunteer work and earning the CNA certification. Thanks Thanks for the helpthanks emily- but if I want an RN I'm going to have to re-do because they'll be 4-5 years old at that point. Most RN programs like current pre-req's. more

Resolved Question: Transitioning to nursing career?

Hello, I am an engineering school graduate with a bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering. After not finding a good job, I am considering to go for nursing. I have heard that nursing admission has become a headache these days and it's hard to even get into a community college ADN program. I am coming from a non biology or non chemistry background. how much time and money should I expect to invest in next two years? What could be the best way for me to approach this field of studies? Can I go for LPN first? Shall I have to get in a waiting list for a community college ADN program? How to pass PAX or NET exam? more

Resolved Question: How do I move on from being a nanny to a professional career?

Ok, so I'm 28. Grew up and (still) live with my big Italian family on Long Island, NY. I received an associates degree in Liberal Arts/Sciences from a SUNY school, then transferred to sell my soul for tuition at a private school for a year until I came to realize that I was digging myself a financial hole with an annual $32,000 loan and never registered again after. So with that, while I was in school I became a nanny, a live out nanny. Ive been a nanny for 6 years now. I've always wanted to have a real career (hence my college endeavors) however, the money and freedom that came with the occupation of a nanny was far too good to walk away from. I make $1000 off the books per week (Monday-Friday 8am-6pm with 2-5hour breaks in between depending on the day and about 5 or 6 weeks of paid vacation a year- yes I know, it really is a great job). The problem is, the youngest child under my care will be attending kindergarten full-time this coming September and I will no longer be needed. I have always networked myself in the town and have met lots of families that have been trying to steal me away from the family I have been with all these years. However, I don't want to be a professional nanny anymore! I want a real job! A career. I always have. So now, all these years have passed me by and I have no bachelor degree and no experience. Although I'm a fast learner, very smart, witty, educated and have great work ethic, all that doesn't add up to much on a resume. So my question is... what are my options? I have been making strides towards finishing a bachelor degree at a community college, but Ive only been taking 1 class per semester so it seems like a world away. Also, I'm kind of over the idea of school. To be honest, I would just like to do some job training and land something that way. Is this possible? I'm really open to pretty much anything, although I am mostly interested in sales, because I'm a people person. I understand that finding any kind of employment is difficult in these trying times, especially with my current salary, but I am eager to work and am willing to start out at the bottom and work my way up wherever. I have tossed around the idea of a trade school or something like an LPN program or something related but I think I'm more of a business-minded person; but like I said... I'm really open to just about anything. Any suggestions? more

Resolved Question: Do medical people get upset when nurses want to become doctors?

I am a nursing student at a 4 years university. And honestly, it took less than a week of clinical for me to see that I want to be a doctor. I was really put off by my first semester of actual nursing school being nothing but "rah-rah nursing" classes, which consisted of instructors toting their advanced degrees and requiring students to call them doctor, if they had a PHD. They would proclaim the glory of having a 4 year BSN and how all other RN's were inferior, be they ASN's, 2 year RN's, LPN's etc. My professors would constantly repeat to either us or themselves that they are happy as nurses and would never dream of ever wanting to become a doctor. I was told that more education was the key to success on one hand and that we should all aspire to be advanced nurse practitioners and CRNA's no mention is ever made to continuing to become an MD. One day we had a nursing panel where different specialists told us how excellent their jobs were. One of these stuck with me, a CRNA claimed that there was almost no difference between a CRNA and an anesthesiologist. I thought this completely disregarded their earlier teachings that more education was superior. When I asked how a 10+ year training program for doc’s was equal to a 6 year training program for nurses in a following class period, outside of the panel, I was asked to leave and received no credit for the day. At first I went along with it, until I spoke with one of my oldest friends who has been a nurse longer than I’ve been alive. She pointed out that many nurses marry doctors and that they will often pull down others who want to "switch teams" and go to medical school. Stating that they would have to quit their jobs, loose all seniority, and would not be allowed to pursue further nursing training should their endeavor into medicine not be successful. I didn’t believe this until I came home and did a little internet research on my professors. At least 45% (of the ones I found) of them were married to some type of doctor! I don't know if I believe all of this. Honestly, I don’t know what to believe. I know I want to help people to the best of my abilities. Nursing school is not a challenge at all to me. I have taken over 20 hours a semester since I came to school and maintained a 3.3 GPA with nearly no effort. I feel unchallenged academically. I know I can handle medical school if I put my mind to it. I guess my question to YOU is; how much back stabbing have you seen among nurses who want to go to medical school? And to MD’s how should I go about this? I simply do not have the time to polish my grades to a sheen and add all of the pre-required classes required by schools. (I am in the military and have only 4 years to graduate. I think I will have to go to medical school when I retire at age 29) Is there some type of post-bach program to get me the requirements and make my GPA look as sexy as it needs to? I have the life experience portions wrapped up TIGHT. Its only school that stands in my way. Is it common for older people to go to medical school? Any thing is good to know. more

Resolved Question: What is the best track to becoming an RN for a nursing student?

I was accepted into a State University of New York certificate program for Practical Nursing, but with classes beginning on January 25th, I was just notified that I will lose my financial aid if I continue to pursue the program due to having attempted too many credits. I have been a Liberal Arts major while completing the pre-requisites, and intend on graduating with an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts in the Spring, and therefore have completed 65 credits towards that degree while also having completed the pre-req's for the Nursing Program. My intention was to complete the LPN program, work for a year or so, then continue my education towards becoming a Registered Nurse (BS). My financial aid advisor advised me to pursue a different major, although I've spent the past couple couple years attempting to get into a nursing program, which means changing majors at this point would have made the past couple years worthless. Options I am considering right now are as follows: 1) Continuing to pursue the LPN certificate until I graduate in the Fall of '10, and graduating from Liberal Arts in the Spring without my financial aid. In this case, I'd need to take out approximately a $10K loan per semester, which would be for this Spring, the Summer, then the Fall. After working for a year or so, I could then eventually apply to the few schools that offer an LPN to Bachelor's RN accelerated program, which I'd be able to continue Financial Aid for (since it's a higher degree) with also the assistance of loans. OR MY OTHER OPTION 2) Fore-go the Practical Nursing program, and complete my Liberal Arts degree in the Spring while maintaining my Financial Aid, since I can still attempt more credits for Liberal Arts since it's an Associates Degree. Once I achieve that degree, I will look into transferring and applying to a Bachelor's RN program for the Fall. I am trying to decide which options would be the most cost efficient and less difficult as far as the stress of being accepted and denied in the future, since competition is so high for Nursing Programs right now. I've already purchased my uniform for clinicals for the LPN program, and became certified in CPR/AED for Healthcare Providers, as the program had called for, so I've already invested in the program. My uncertainty right now is revolving around the worthwhile of taking out loans for a degree for a career in which I wasn't intending on continuing for long. My intention was always to become a Registered Nurse, so is taking out a loan of approximately $30K for a certificate in Practical Nursing worthwhile considering I was planning on returning to school to receive a Bachelor's Degree for Registered Nursing? more

Does it affect your work? 8) What should someone who is thinking about entering the field know about the profession? 9) Are you required to keep training as you work? more

Resolved Question: Credit for life experience? Not a degree mill.?

I am looking for a legit place where I can get some life credit. I was in a trade school for LVN (LPN) I was half way through before tragedy struck & I had to leave. I learned a lot, does this not apply anywhere? Can I get college credit for trade school credit? I thought there has to be something out there since I have received college credit for my military service. I have about 60 credits total, some military most from school. Also, what if you own a business, do you get credit for that? Something should be said for being successful, now if only I could accomplish this silly bachelors degree just so I can post it on my wall & go back to working for myself! I am not looking for a degree mill place. Thanks & Happy New Year more

Voting Question: i need advice on what to do in college. i have an outline. i just need some opinions?

so. i've been thinking. i'm starting college next year. and i've been thinking about doing a training program to become an LPN. and once i get my license i'll get a job and save so i can pay for the rest of my degrees. i would like to get a psychology degree. but i want to be a elementary school teacher. i also enjoy cosmetology, but that's at the end of the list, it's just something extra i'd like to do. maybe a summer job if i become a teacher. does my outline make sense? is there anything i'm missing? i know i have many years ahead of me, but i know with these degrees, even if i change my mind, having these 3 things can really make me successful. so if there is any advice i would majorly appreciate it. more

Resolved Question: LPN TO RN QUESTIONS (POINTS?

I have an associates degree in science and I graduate a lpn program in may. i really don't understand the process. I see alot of schools offering the lpn to RN program but this doesn't come with a bachelors. Then I would have to go back to school in a RN to BSN program. but a BSN is just a associates in science and a associates in nursing right? so what happens if i already have one part (associate in science) and a LPN license. what steps would i have to take from there? and how long would it take for me get my BSN? does having an associates in science and an LPN license give me an associates in nursing? (ADN) and if so would i qualify to sit for the NCLEX-RN? thanks more
