I am not sure, but I heard from a friend that the pay is quite good especially if you have good training, and it is usually by the hour.
I just found something from the NewspaperARCHIVE.com.
I am a RN BSN and that is exactly how its written on my badge your right they lose!!!
***Dr. Gupta and/or Anderson Cooper***or anybody who has information for LPN (LVN) Nurses! *I am a Nurse (LPN)*, I am I.V., and, CPR certified, etc. I have worked in EMS, 911 dispatch, law enforcement, and even as a mortician's assistant for years. Are only RN's allowed to go to Haiti? I have recently become unemployed and would like to help! What do I need to do, or who do I need to contact? Thank you…Dwight in Idaho.
I found the BSN caramel latte whey at a local sports nutrition shop, but I know you can also get it at Popeye's/Sports Nutrition Depot. Are you in Canada? The link is here if you need to find a store:
Whey Gourmet is also available there and they have some tasty flavours too! If you don't have one of these near you, GNC carries Whey Gourmet (not sure about BSN though). If you're in the KW area send me an email and I can give you some local spots!
There is nothing wrong with going to school for LPN and the job can be very rewarding, but may I suggest that if you have time to really go to school go ahead a go for Rn. You will make more money. Some places LPN work next to a RN and do more work than they do and get paid less, so go for the RN. The time you have to go to school is longer but in the end very rewarding
Do not go here! I am a student in this program. Save your money and find a better program. This is coming from a person in this program. The first semester was “so-so.” I have had a mixed experiences in this program. There have been more bad ones than good ones. LIU is mismanaged as a whole and the New Media Performance Program is badly managed. The director is a DIVA! Go get a MA or MFA in the ITP program at NYU or the Interactive Arts Program at a CUNY School in Brooklyn. Do not go here!
Thats a first for me, I always though LPN was a 2 year program and RN was a 4 year program. LPN's can dispense medicines and have access to the narcotic/meds cabinets. So it sounds kind of weird that much responsibility can be done in 6 months, but I'm not saying I'm right.
But that is a good field to get into. Even during this recession, medical fields is one of the professions that aren't really affected by it and continue to hire. I dated a couple of LPN's back in the late 80-early 90's and they were making in the range of 16-22 per hour (here in Ohio where the cost of living is pretty low). So I'd have to imagine its say more than that by now. Maybe 25-30 an hour? Good luck on that.
I'm glad I've worked the “nursing ladder” from rung one– CNA, then Certified Med-Aide, then LPN…. I have wanted to be a psychiatric NP for a long time (since I met the one I had in W'loo, actually) so those are my aspirations. Or wounds. I would LOVE to work on a wound team at a hospital!
Love you, thanks for being a living example of what I can do if I put my mind to it!
Thanks for checking me out! Yes, I'll be in a BSN program–the hospitals around here are starting to not want to hire anything less. As far as the costs, I tried to cut them down by taking all of my prereqs at a community college and then tranferring into a four-year (aka more expensive) school for the second half of the nursing program. Good luck to you!–keep me posted!
It depends on the state that you are living in.In my state, there are many schools offering the LPN to BSN.What you have to do is check your local universities websites to find out.Or if possible you might need to move to a state that offers the LPN to BSN program.
I have been an LPN for 30 years and fullscope since 2001 on an acute care unit. I cannot believe there is an LPN on this planet that does not want to join BCNU. How many times does one have to be kicked before one leaves. Most people believe that we are RN's and are mortifided when they find out the wage difference. Our own HEU reps did not even know we were fullscope in 2001 they thought it was 2004. That alone speaks volumes. I was done with HEU in 2004 and welcome this change in unions with open arms.
An LPN is a 2-year college degree, a nursing degree. Nursing is more than a full-time job by itself; it's unreasonable to think you could hold down a nursing position and go to college, much less med school, at the same time. Plus, nursing classes and medical school classes don't really overlap that much.
To become a pediatrician, you need a 4-year college degree (major in anything and take the premed courses in bio, chem, physics and math), 4 years of medical school, and at least 3 years of residency and training before you can get a job on your own. While in high school, take as much math and lab sciences as you can (bio, chem, physics).
Doctors are always in demand, so if you do finish the degree and residency you shouldn't have trouble finding a job. You can do premed at pretty much any 4-year college.
Many people think they want to be a pediatrician because they like kids. The thing to ask yourself is, do you like sick and dying kids? Because that's what you'd be dealing with every day – not the healthy happy ones, the miserable ones.
Well obviously it's Licensed Practicing Nurse but I'm not sure about the "+" it might mean that they have ahd some additional training in medicine administration or phlembotomy or something that is generally outside the requirements of LPN training, possibly somthing that falls into the responsibilities of the RN but can be done by an LPN with additional certification.
