Hi all. I didn't get any response from a separate post, so I figured I would try here. Anyone hear anything good/bad for RN/BN (they call it BN versus our BSN) for the University of Dundee? Thanks!

I just got accepted at the University of Dundee. I'm excited, but I do wonder is anyone ever gets turned down, it's not like they have to find enough chairs for an online course now is it?

I chose them because my qualifications are all British, and so I didn't have to get transcripts etc which has been a real pain in the past and could potentially have held things up for months. Plus it wasn't horrendously expensive, around $7000, and I'll get to listen to cute Scottish accents when my lecturer calls me

Congratulations on your acceptance! Am I correct to assume that you are pursuing an "RN to BSN online"? A friend of mine knows an entire ICU unit of RNs pursuing their MSNs. What I find a hoot is that they will fly to Scotland upon completion of their program for their graduation ceremony-sounds like fun.

Yes, online. But going there for graduation sounds good, vacation woohoo I've never been to Scotland.

Hi Kelky. Thanks very much for replying. Are you a US citizen, because I was quoted $10,000, since I was told that was the cost for U.S. nurses. I will pm you.

Hi Lizzy,

I PM'd you too but in case anyone else was wondering, I have credit for a diploma in midwifery and that means I need to take less courses. I pay the same amount as any other US based nurse.

Thanks Kelky, now I see the lower cost for you, makes sense. Will check my PM.

Default How to train Nurses to be better educators?
Thanks Val

I think that it is important to attend an accredited nursing school, especially when you can get funding!!

Newnurse sent the link www.internationalgme.org because it seemed to her to address the main issue which is my concern and question.

That is "How do trained nurses find programs that can train them to be better educators?"

Even if a nurse has a Master's degree, is there anything in the core courses that she (or he) takes that indicates that she has the requisite training as an educator?

Where are the formal training programs in NURSING?

This is the movement that seems to be afoot in medicine - Have we caught up already, are we ahead of the pack and no longer have to think about this? I don't think so.

Somebody help me. please!
