1. MD to RN program

   kodc replied to Polska's topic in General World

   There's an ADN (RN) program that can be done in 12 months for foreign graduated medical doctors and other healthcare professionals that would like to add the credentials or switch fields. You have to be in W Palm Beach once a month to do clinicals an...

2. Are you the Doctor? (funny)

   kodc replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Students

   Pretty funny and light hearted. 😀 I don't agree with the BSN/ADN comment. Earning the degree does make you a nurse. Be proud of that. Passing the NCLEX allows you to be called an registered nurse. There are doctors that do not practice and do not...

3. WGU MSN then postgrad NP cert

   kodc replied to kodc's topic in Western Governors

   I'll be starting the 6/1 cohort in IN for pre-licensure BSN. It will be 2 1/2 years. I currently specialize in chronic brain-based and neurological conditions. I plan to integrate both in future practice. I'm strongly leaning towards FNP currently. B...

4. Chiro To FNP?

   kodc replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

   Email me if you like. [email protected] I can give you all the info I have found and perhaps save you a couple minutes time. KO

5. Chiro To FNP?

   kodc replied to chiro13's topic in NP Students

   I'm doing this exact transition currently. Through WGU I will continue to practice as a DCS while traveling to clinicals in IN and sound didactic portion online. This is the pre-licensure BSN. Then I have found several NP programs that would allow me...

6. chiropractor employee taking blood pressures

   kodc replied to sam1971's topic in Relations

   Hopefully this will get corrected and is not being perpetuated by the employer. I'm one of those quack chiropractors, as we are so frequently and lovingly referred to in this forum. I had an assistant send me an email with her title - "physical ther...

7. chiropractor employee taking blood pressures

   kodc replied to sam1971's topic in Relations

   I'm curious as to how you make your assertion. How does one actually measure "shadiness"? Really, just yanking your chain. I don't really care how you qualify your comment. It's obvious that you have disdain for another profession because of your pe...

8. Best Neuro Book?

   kodc replied to CCRN14's topic in Neuro

   My favorite subject! I'll list a few, with links, I like to review every now and again. No particular order. BRS Neuroanatomy Neuroanatomy through clinical cases The Human Brain: Introduction to Functional Neuroanatomy Neurological Differential Di...

9. Know any reputable RN to BSN Online that can be completed in a little less than 12 mos?

   kodc replied to Kit.Kat's topic in School Programs

   It's your business so don't feel the need to respond. This is not meant to be argumentative. I'm just trying to understand. The WGU program is a competency based, pass/fail program. All the other programs list are all "competency" based. If the cours...

10. Ideal diabetic diet?

    kodc replied to Libby1987's topic in Endocrine

    Archaic advice, in my opinion, is lazy and irresponsible. Your body doesn't read the text. It takes more than a cookie-cutter approach; that takes work. Good on you for keeping yourself in line. I'm glad you also have a supportive endo. KO

11. Ideal diabetic diet?

    kodc replied to Libby1987's topic in Endocrine

    Not all carbs are created equal. For someone to throw out a certain number w/o qualifying a breakdown may be looking for failure. I agree with Allison, everyone will be different. Having said that you must look at any type of sensitivities (another d...

12. Prison security clearance

    kodc replied to miss.savannahk's topic in Correctional

    You will have a background check. They will have you fill out a personal history and choose to call/interview people you list as well as people associated with previous employment and schooling. They may also run a credit check. KO

13. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    kodc replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you for your advice, Ozzy. You're right, the post didn't start off this way. After being chastised at my original response because I didn't know what I was talking about I felt that I needed to qualify any of my future responses. I didn't wan...

14. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    kodc replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sorry to return to this. But since we're correcting folks her and all, your statement of "do matter" is correct because she writes the subject as "one thing" is actually a false statement. Again, I'm not correcting her. "One thing" how you point i...

15. WGU MSN then postgrad NP cert

    kodc replied to kodc's topic in Western Governors

    Thank you, Jess. That makes a lot of sense. Since I'm just starting the program I don't know if I fit into the "speed demon" category. So I'll keep it on the table, now seeing that what you pointed out makes a lot of sense.
