2. RN-MSN program at Aspen University

   Phoenix16, RN replied to mkdwhnpbc's topic in Online Learning

   Hi; I'm just seeing this. You can work ahead in the sense that you have access to the discussion posts and papers for each module. However, you must submit them once the module opens each week. I completed my BSN through Aspen, and I was able to go o...

   I completed my RN to BSN program there, and although the program was challenging ( lots and lots of sleepless nights) it was doable, and affordable. My academic advisor J. S. Was knowledgeable about each class that I was taking; any questions/concern...

4. What are your Thoughts on Bedside Reporting?

   Phoenix16, RN replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

5. What are your Thoughts on Bedside Reporting?

   Phoenix16, RN replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

   Your suggestion sounds like the reasonable thing to do; which is what I proposed to the committee. I think information about the patient's admitting diagnosis should be done away from the patient if not in a private room, and then both nurses go in t...

7. Garbage Report

   Phoenix16, RN replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

   I like your response. There are some nurses who want report from H&P even though the patient has been hospitalized for over a month. I provide what was given the previous shift, what happened on my shift, and anything that they may need to do on ...

8. Why is nursing school so expensive!?

   Phoenix16, RN replied to jwillnyc's topic in General Students

    HUM410 is the class I mentioned that teaches you the correct way to format papers using APA style. The RN-BSN program requires 10 nursing classes that must be completed at Aspen, however, I needed an additional six classes to meet the 50 liberal arts...

15. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Phoenix16, RN replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree; your health status is very pertinent if a code is called and you are too big to move fast enough to assist in the life saving measures. No no one is saying being overweight makes you a bad or ineffective nurse. The point I think people a...
