I am attending school for Practical Nursing from July of 2008 until July of 2009. I plan on becoming an RN in the future, I just wanted to start out as an LPN to gain experience and because it would get me out into the work force quicker(due to course length obviously). After reading some of the answers to other LPN questions, it seems like a lot of people think becoming an LPN first is a waste of time. I even read a comment that said what you learn as an LPN is useless when you become an RN and you will have to basically learn your basic skills all over again. What are your opinions on this? I only want people to respond that would actually have an educated answer, not someone that is going to tell me to go right into an RN program due to them making more money and being able to do a lot more, as I am aware of those differences. Plus, I am not in a situation where I can devote at least 2 years to school right now.

I have been thinking about a career in nursing or physical therapy, but I'm not entirely certain whether or not I would be well suited for the job. I would prefer to be a teacher, but they just don't get paid as much as they deserve. Serious answers only please.

I've passed my PTCB and am trying to get a job at Humana. However, their website has NO job descriptions. Every single job they have listed is simply a copy/pasted generic job description, worse, the job title doesn't tell me what it is either. I need to apply soon, but I have no idea what to apply for. Anyone know what ANY of theses are?

Pharm Tech Dr. Call
Pharm Tech Exceptions
Pharm Tech DMS

Which one would you guys recommend for a first timer? And more importantly, what the heck do they do? I was told Pharmacy Techs are usually either a tech, prescription filler, or in data entry. I had no idea there were so many positions. If it helps at all, I am only applying in mail service pharmacies, not the normal ones.

Thanks so much!

I have a bachelor of science in child development. I want to become an RN and work in pediatrics or the NICU. I thought my degree in child development would be good for this, but what is the best way to get my RN...should i just go to a community college and get it quick, or get the BSN? I need something that is cheap and fast so I can start back in the working life again. Thanks!

Please read the following items which define a "profession".

A Profession:
* has a unique body of knowledge and values - and a perspective to go with it.
* has controlled entry to the group eg registration
* demonstrates a high degree of autonomous practice.
* has its own disciplinary system.
* enjoys the Recognition and Respect of the wider community.

Question:
Is nursing a profession?

Thanks for taking interest in my question. I

'm currently 42 and have worked for the same company for 20 years in Pharmaceutical marketing. By the time I'm 50 (maybe sooner) I'm going to want to change careers and work more directly with patients. I have a BS in Biology/Microbiology and a Master of Science in Bacteriology/Public Health.

I know I'll make less money but it will mark a new phase in my career. Just curious about what it will take to get from where I am to where I want to be.

As additional detail, I want the flexibility of shifts that nursing offers and the absence of business travel - I have a disabled son who will require more of my time during the days after he turns 21 and is no longer in the school system.

A friend accepted a job 4 months ago; he resigned his previous job in good terms. The job he accepted was not a good fit. My friend and the company decided that it was best for him to leave. So he asked his former employer if he could go back to work. Former employer accepted. If he is offered another position (another company), will it be a wise move to accept it? If he stays with his current employer he will not advance professionally.

I'm 32 and was recently fired from my job (customer service). I can't seem to keep a job longer than 6 months. I've always wanted a career in the medical field. I have a GED and about 2.5 years of college. I never took school serious but now I see the importance of education. Where would a good starting point be to get into the medical field and obtain a degree? I want to be a X-Ray tech but there aren't any schools offering the program where I live (Sacramento, CA). Does anyone have any advise?
