1. Opinions on Rivier University for BSN?

   laschai replied to laschai's topic in School Programs

   I did end up going there, yes. I finished my first year, aka the prerequisites, May 4th (that was the last day of finals). I'm starting Nursing 101 w/ clinical and lab and Microbio w/ lab in the fall. I've seen the sim lab, it's very good and pretty...

2. How much training and work in other areas did it take you to get a job as an ER nurse?

   laschai replied to laschai's topic in Emergency

   1. That's good to know, thank you. 2. That makes sense. How long do you recommend working in another unit before going to the ED, and which units would you recommend?

3. How much training and work in other areas did it take you to get a job as an ER nurse?

   laschai replied to laschai's topic in Emergency

   I found a list of programs by state and found 3 in MA and 1 in NH. I went to the websites listed AND googled them and got dead ends. Maybe it's because I'm searching on my phone, rather than my desktop? edit: I googled the suggested searches and did ...

4. How much training and work in other areas did it take you to get a job as an ER nurse?

   laschai replied to laschai's topic in Emergency

   I have heard of ER residencies. Unfortunately, it seems there aren't that many of them near me. I think there's one in MA. Either that, or they just don't advertise/talk about the other ones very well. Currently, I live in central-southern MA. I'm mo...

5. How much training and work in other areas did it take you to get a job as an ER nurse?

   laschai posted a topic in Emergency

   I am starting work towards my BSN this fall, and as of now I want to be an ER/trauma nurse. This may change if I discover I actually can't handle that much blood (though I think I can), but that's the plan right now. When I looked into how you get a ...

6. Opinions on Rivier University for BSN?

   laschai posted a topic in School Programs

   I've been accepted to Rivier University in NH for the BSN program. It's cheaper than some of the other colleges I got into, and I liked the campus on a tour, so I'm highly considering going there. Does anyone have recent experience with Rivier nursin...

7. Are you going for BSN or ASN?

   laschai replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing

   In my area, BSN is required for most positions. I'm going for a BSN. I'm taking the standard straight out of high school 4 year program that includes the prerequisites in the first year.

8. What Kind of Nurse Do You Want To Be?

   laschai replied to guest973135's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm a senior in high school right now. I'm applying to 4 year BSN programs. Actually, I already applied to 7. For specialty, at this point I want to be either a trauma nurse working in a major trauma center or an L&D nurse.

9. Getting into nursing programs with lower grades, plus rate these schools!

   laschai replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The nursing programs I'll be applying to are 4 year bsn programs that include the prerequisites in the curriculum. When you apply for the college, you apply specifically for the nursing program.

10. Getting into nursing programs with lower grades, plus rate these schools!

    laschai posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm about to finish my junior year of high school, which means it's time to get serious about looking at colleges. My grades aren't the best (mostly B's and C's), but I expect my SAT scores will be very good. I did well on the PSAT. My last report ca...

12. Evening Nursing Program at Community College?

    laschai replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think I might get my associate's at a community college then transfer to a state college for the BSN. Until then I could possibly work part time as an EMT

13. Evening Nursing Program at Community College?

    laschai posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I want kids early but I don't think I could have kids during nursing school. Then I thought, maybe I could do evening classes at a community college and get my associate's degree there, so I can stay with the kid(s) or work during the day... My local...

15. Online pre-nursing courses?

    laschai posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I really want to be able to complete my prerequisites before I finish high school. What are some online schools that offer nursing prerequisite courses for high schoolers? Or, if it helps, community colleges in Worcester county, MA that offer them?
