Resolved Question: Real College or Job Training?

I want to attend a community college for their Nursing program to become a RN. I'm wondering if there would be any need for me to travel off to a "real college" when I could just take job training for the same thing. It seems like I can start community college and become an LPN and then take their bridge program to become an RN. But I'm confused as to weather there is some degree or something I have to receive in college that would make it official. Or weather i can just start working right out of community college. more

Resolved Question: To all nurses/cpn's/lpn's etc. Is this a good educational plan?

I'm trying to come up with a realistic plan for eventually becoming a nurse. I've done a little research and I think this is what i could do: 1) Get on the job training as a CPN at a nursing home for a while (since hospitals like to see experience). 2) Transfer that experience to a hospital that hopefully offers a good tuition reimbursment program to help pay for pre-req's and nursing school along w/ other financial aid. 3) Attend college taking pre-requisite classes for first 2-3 yrs. Then apply for, and pass Nursing classes. 4) Graduate!!! Please let me know if you have any advice! more

Resolved Question: Are there any 68wm6 army rangers?

hello, this is my situation. I am a 68w who is currently in the m6 program. When i was in basic training my drill sgt put in a recommendation for me to go to airborne and RIP. Now i understand a regular whiskeys role in a ranger unit, but if I were to go to a ranger unit I was wondering if i would actually be able to use my LPN position in a hospital or if I would basically be used as a whiskey. I understand that as a ranger i would have time in the field and have other responsibilities, but im just looking for anyone who might be a m6 ranger or know where they normally work. Also i don't mind not working in a hospital all the time, but i don't want my extra training to go to waste. I should have also added that I checked online through AKO and I have a valid reservation and start date for both airborne and RIP so I will not have a chance to get and experience in another unit first. more

Resolved Question: Job Corps too good to be true?

Well, I dropped out of high school, and I did get my GED but a GED is a test, and we all know tests, test what you already know. As where if I would have stayed in school, I would have gotten an education. Which a GED cannot provide. I have looked into the Job Corps a bit. They, give you free shelter, food, and education? Yes the pay is very minimal but mostly all I care about it the free education. As I really can't even afford to go to a community college and would be behind in certain subjects such as math since I messed up and didn't stay in school to learn what I should have. I am just trying to get my life back on track and undig myself out of this hole. I would like to become a CNA or even an LPN as I heard they even go as far as that. Is all that really possible? Is is really possible to get the training for free? What is the catch? Aside from being in a very strict environment and giving up freedom. Which I'm willing to sacrifice. Also aside from the "ghetto" parts of it. As I tend to be a quiet person that minds their own business. So really I think I can avoid the drama I have heard about, thus far. Is it really worth it to someone who is motivated? Do they have motivated teachers/tutors who are willing to work with you to reach your goals etc? Any personal insight would be appreciated. These are the types of questions the main site doesn't really provide. So please don't be smart and give me a link. I've seen it, thanks. As they only say good things from the actual sponsors of the program anyway so it's one sided. more

Voting Question: I don't know why there isn't an online/correspondent courses for lpn/lvn, then go to skills training .

There is a correspondence (books) study program for EMT and Fireman, then they go to skills training and exams. Where I live, its very difficult to get into any nursing program, because so competitive. I don't know what to do, other than go out of state. more

Resolved Question: What is a hospital based training diploma program for nursing and how does it work? I can't find the info.

I'm looking for one of those programs where the hospital trains you and then you work for them when your training is done. I have not been able to find much information on this, unless I didn't realize I had the answer. Anyhow, if anyone has info on this it would be greatly appreciated. I have already done a good majority of classes needed for nursing (LPN/RN) at college already, getting tired of their timelines though. more

Resolved Question: can some one please tell me what the training is like for becomming a LPN?

I've been in and out od the medical feild for years but always on the admin side, i currantly in school for my BA in psychology, but i see some of the salaries that are posted for lpn right out of school, is it really worth the money? not that i would stop my degree but i could sacifice a year off to do a lpn program. i just will like for some to share their experience with me. do they really start you off at $20.00 per hour or more? and what is the work like? thanks... more

Resolved Question: Army 68W M6 program? dual military?

I am joining the army reserves and my husband is active duty. I want to do the M6 program but don't want to be away from my 4 children for such a long MOS. I had originally planned on just doing basic 68W and then going to school for my lpn so I could still be with my children but if I could go ahead and get it as Army training I would much rather do that. Since we are stationed here at Fort Gordon, which happens to be a training hospital for that course, can I have it arranged that I do my clincal training here? Would this qualify under the MACP or does that only apply for duty stations? I asked my recruiter but he wasn't sure. more

Resolved Question: Are there any Learn while you Earn Nursing programs ANYWHERE??

I'm a recently divorced single mom, and I really want to become a nurse, at the very least an LVN/LPN. I do not have any strong support network and working while going to nursing school just won't work right now. I am willing to move anywhere (in the U.S) if I could find an opportunity where I could work at a hospital and they offer training or some sort of program where you can work at the same time. I've heard of something like this but I forgot the correct name (sorry). If you know of any such opportunity please let me know. The community college nursing programs have a 1-2 year wait list just to START, and the private career colleges charge an arm and a leg. Or advice on medical careers that I could earn a degree online (and do clinicals ofcourse onsite). Any info would be appreciated. I really want to work in the medical field!! THANKYOU more

Resolved Question: I'm a single mother and need some career training...?

I'm a single mother who wants to have a job that can be done during school hours. Which of these would you suggest doing and why? I would be attending a community college for the first 4 and a for-profit school for the last. I am already a CNA. Some people have suggest nursing or medical assisting. Those are good careers, however there are no RN/LPN/MA training programs available to me.

Resolved Question: What is training like in the Army M6/LPN program like?

I am currently a 68W deployed and thinking about re-enlisting for this school. What is the quality of training and difficulty? It seemed like 68W AIT was extremely rushed and I came to my unit somewhat lost even though I was an honor grad? What is the daily schedule ie. pt and useless formations all day?, and what settings are most M6's working in hospitals, health clinics? This is my second time deployed to Iraq in an infantry unit and am considering either this school or getting out, thanks for the info. more

Resolved Question: Help with nursing education? Shoud Z train as an LPN first, then continue schooling, or take the prereqs, and?

go straight for an associates as an RN? I figure obviously RN is better paying, but if I'm an employed LPN, would i be able to recieve reimbursement to go to school as an RN, or is that only RN-BSN programs that recieve reimbursement? It would be cheaper to start out as an LPN, but not much variety by comparison....any opinions? more

Resolved Question: My husband supports my dream, so why do I feel bad about it?

I always wanted to get my PhD, but I came from a poor upbringing so instead of going to college I went into the job field. (I did get into a 12mos training program and became an LPN) My husband has encouraged me to go back to school and is saying "Go for what you want, babe. Go and acheive your dreams." I am currently in college, and it will be 7 years before I can achieve that dream. I am 26, I have 2 kids (ages 6yrs old and 9mos old) I feel like that dream is impossible, because as a kid I was always told that it was. I also feel bad because I want to contribute financially to the family. And right now I only go to work 1 day a wk while in school full-time. I am really just considering taking the fast route out by just getting my RN even though I want more... I dont know what to do... more

Resolved Question: Being paid as I train as a CNA here in Tennessee?

I live here in tennessee (goodlettsville) and my mom told me that at her nursing home, she said that they train CNA and pay them at the same time. is it true? how much? and how good is it to work as a CNA? because i don't want to be an RN because of the F**king prerequisites that are useless and costs a ton of money. *ehem* volstate college *ehem* Because I'm also trying to be an LPN but the training or should i say the program is the same as the CNA? you know, like is it the same as on-the-job training? and please don't give me the answer that "Why not search on this blah-blah-blah.com" or "do RN, CNA sucks " because I don't have any options to make other than being a CNA. Because RN TAKES A LOOOOOT of money to finish, and I'm just poor (just came from the philippines) and if you can give me some programs or careers without having a college degree or F*cking prerequisites? (because some teachers and community college are just milking the money out of us people) Thanks for the answer more

Resolved Question: LPN vs RN Program?

It will be my fourth year in college and i'm pretty much done with my pre-reqs. I have my associates degree (transfer), I'm a CNA and work at a nursing home (been trained in mental illness and to pass meds), i volunteer at one of the heart units at a hospital once a week, and have my healthcare provider. It may look like i'm "qualified" but the only thing that's stopping me are my grades - i'm not the most booksmart person but i have all the potential to be a GREAT nurse one day. The thing is, i don't wanna waste my time - at community colleges, there are two RN programs that admit every quarter but even my grades can't make that. Should I just join the LPN program in hopes of getting in to the RN program? I feel like i'm wasting time if i just apply and wait for a year to see if i'll get in... I eventually want to get my BSN...but once i pass the boards from my RN, i was hoping to work partime and go to school partime for my BSN by the way, if i do take that route, how long is it going to take? more

Resolved Question: Why does the Peace Corps accept LPN's, but not paramedics into their program?

(no offense to LPN's, I know you have tough jobs too) but medics generally have longer training and are better prepared to handle emergencies. What's the deal with that? Bobby D. See for yourself: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos102.htm http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos101.htm And yes, I've been in ER's as the result of most of my calls, and I've worked in and ER as a tech. more

Resolved Question: Is this even relevant?- RN, LPN, or CNA's please?

I am emabarking on a career change. I worked as a Speech Therapist Assisant in a public school, and want to become an RN. I want to work as a CNA while I am in nursing school. I just completed my training and am writing my resume to start applying for jobs. Where I live they hire CNA's in hospitals w/o experience, so this is where I am focusing my job search efforts. I included my previous speech job as part of employment history on my resume, but I wonder if I should include some volunteer work I did related to speech and hearing. I provided free hearing screenings to industrial workers, and also volunteered in a preschool speech, language, amd pre-literacy program. Should I include this on my CNA resume, or would a DON feel that I don't know how to identify relavent experience to put on a resume, since these experiences aren't directly related to health care? more

Resolved Question: Does an NR EMT-Intermediate have a higher level of training than an LPN?

I know that by law in Georgia an EMT-I cannot sign over a patient to an LPN. The EMT-I must transfer his patient to an RN or Doctor. Most LPN programs seem to be longer & contain more credit hours than EMT-Intermediate programs but both are certificate programs. EMT-I in Georgia = about 9 months. LPN in Georgia about = 12-13 months. more

Resolved Question: Is a degree from a four-year university better than vocational training?

I'm a second-year student at a university, but I'm a junior credits-wise. I'm sick of it. I don't know what I want to do with my life. Basically I'm wasting time. If I change my major to kinesiology I can graduate in two semesters and a couple of summer sessions, but I don't really care about kinesiology, or any other major. My passions are my hobbies- triathlons, climbing, reading, crosswords, yoga, whittling. I think that as long as I had a job that I liked ok and that paid enough for me to get by, I would be content. Is it really worth it to stay in college and get that degree? Especially since I won't necessarily be graduating with a degree I'll use? Would it be unwise to quit this and do a short, vocational program to become an LPN or CNA, for instance? The other factor, and the only reason my parents think i should stick it out, is that I have almost a full scholarship to my school. Should I graduate with a degree I may or may not use, or go ahead with vocational training? more
