blackribbon Royal Oak, MI 51, joined Dec. 2012	Journey Why don't you look at a transition to RN program and open the door for a few more options? You can be doing any prereq classes at your own pace and often online (though I think the in-person classes are often less time consuming). The two men in my last rotation got to spend a day "shadowing" in ICU and absolutely loved the fast pace of that floor. I shadowed on the oncology floor and really like the mellower pace (many patients were more long term or repeat visitors so you got to know them and their families). Our clinical instructor must have been a bit ADHD in that she had worked almost every unit in the hospital. When she gets bored, she just changes units. (She was absolutely awesome).

blackribbon Royal Oak, MI 51, joined Dec. 2012	Do you have all your prereq classes...the non-nursing ones?...because summer offers a chance to start earlier...or even peek at a few classes you might need if you decide to keep going for that BS (that opens even more doors) later on. I'm taking an additional psych class with that BS in mind. And hoping that when I switch clinicals to Med/Surg mid-semester it won't be too much.

blackribbon Royal Oak, MI 51, joined Dec. 2012	I now see you are looking at a BS program...good for you. However, you might be able to get into a spring program at a local community or junior college and just work on those additional non-nursing classes. Be checking out the deadlines for applying to the nursing programs...they can be extremely inconvenient and make you wait a while if you miss them. If you are serious, go visit a counselor as soon as possible and just find out what is the best plan. You don't have to register or anything to do this. Just make sure your bring any transcripts you have.

here4foromsonly Cincinnati, OH 56, joined Sep. 2012	I am a retired nurse that have seen many changes in LTC. It is an extremely challenging field if you work in a rehab facility. It is no longer just the minor skills that nurses are able to do. Many times patients come in after surgery. Sometimes within a day or so of surgeries depending on type. IVs, wound care and those tend to form prior to admission to facility. TPN which at one time was done more in the hospitals. My nursing was both LTC and psych. Good luck on your search.

It probably has something to do with them being responsible for your nursing skills when they give you the degree. It isn't a reflection of your personal nursing skills but rather a reflection of those who went before you. I am not sure where you would get your assessment and medication administration skills doing online only? I would think you would want clinical and lab experiences to practice and learn these skills. It only takes a year "in person" and you get to experience a wide variety of nursing experiences so that you have a better idea of what nursing suits you. I am also using my clinicals as a chance to build relationships so that when I do apply for a job, I am not just a name on a resume. I am currently doing my psych rotation at a psych hospital and like it enough I am considering applying for a patient care specialist so that I have a work history established with them before I even graduate.

blackribbon Royal Oak, MI 51, joined Dec. 2012	I don't know about your clinicals but I am providing "real care" and have only made it through fundamentals. I spent 8 weeks on a step-down from ICU floor. I have assisted with placing a nasogastric tube, tube feeding, assisted with some pretty nasty wound care, turned very ill patients until I am an expert, managed two patients at the same time and emptied a colonoscopy bag. Learned how to keep a patient from vomiting by teaching relaxation techniques, cared for a patient actively dying, identified and started oxygen on a patient in distress, learned how to recognize a heart murmur, removed IV catheters (okay, not a big deal), and I'm one of the few on my floor who has not placed a foley catheter yet. I managed c.diff. on a schizophrenic/bipolar mentally deficit man. This was in addition to daily, head-to-toe assessments, VS, and AM care. I have been responsible for the managing the care for 12 different patients except for passing meds. (Which I am now qualified to do and will be able to manage IV bags and saline locks at the end of the week.) I am only 3 weeks into my second semester of nursing. I don't remember anything that looked anything remotely like babysitting. I sat down at lunch and that was it (and usually panicked about wasting time because I needed to be gathering information to complete my 20 some page careplans.)

I know we aren't allowed to even have a bottle of water on our desk because one year some students wrote the answers on the inside of the labels... I like my clinical nursing instructors so far. They are hard but they also have a teaching spirit and are just preparing us to be reasonably competent when we show up to our first day as a "real" nurse. So far, all our instructors actually LIKE being nurses...not necessarily the same experience with some of the staff nurse I've encountered. The more skills I learn while I still have the option of having someone standing behind me talking me through the procedures, the better off I'll be in the end.

comletshavefun2 Chicago, IL 41, joined Mar. 2013	I work on the administrative side of nursing at a managed care company; I worked in the clinical setting and currently have my BSN, MBA, CCM as well as a health information management degree. Basically we review cases and approve in patient admissions and home health care visits; many nurses don't realize the opportuity. Entry level positions exisit and they offer training; some of these positions may fall under the following titles: Utilization Review associate;Utilization review nurse; case manager; Utilization management nurse; UM coordinator; these jobs are usually Monday-Friday with weekends and holidays off. Just do a search for health insurance company nursing jobs in your area. Aetna hires LPNs.Good luck [Edited 3/6/2013 10:56:14 PM ]

princess76048 Granbury, TX 43, joined Mar. 2013	Ive been a nurse now since April 05,was a Cna for 3 years before that all in long term care. I wouldnt have it anyother way. At times the challenges are difficult though. When your a Charge Nurse of >50 residents and have 3 cnas to babysit and keep in line,sometimes you question your career choice.
