2. New Cardiothoractic ICU job

   Lipoma replied to Biology2Nursing's topic in Critical

   I forgot one more person, Pam Bartley, I used her to pass the CEN and also used her to supplement my study material from Nicole Kupchik. If you already have your CEN, you'll definitely transition well because you already have critical thinking down. ...

3. New Cardiothoractic ICU job

   Lipoma replied to Biology2Nursing's topic in Critical

   I transitioned to the Cardiac ICU (nonsurgical patients) a year ago from the ED and the learning curve wasn't too bad. You'll transition relatively easy especially if you're coming from a level 1 trauma center. I went from a high acuity community hos...

4. Jefferson University FACT-1/FACT-2 2024 ABSN

   Lipoma replied to jovanymendez's topic in School Programs

   I graduated from the FACT-1 Program years ago and it looks like the FACT-1 program favored those with GPAs 3.5+ meanwhile they placed those in the FACT-2 cohort with a 3.4 or less. You can also make yourself more competitive with volunteering and com...

   Lipoma replied to KittynurseTCK's topic in SRNA

   I scored 3rd quartile on the Casper no interview as yet. Also, I think this thread is for last year's application cycle.

6. Can a second degree student apply for a Traditional BSN?

   Lipoma replied to Helen Lee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   At this point you're arguing just to argue. I answered the OP's question and I answered your question about what's considered fluff. You're adding more unnecessary assumptions. Nowhere did I say a traditional BSN only starts with 18 year olds. The OP...

7. Can a second degree student apply for a Traditional BSN?

   Lipoma replied to Helen Lee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When the op stated "can a second degree student apply for a traditional BSN”…so if they went that route they would take those courses over. an accelerated BSN is not a traditional BSN.

8. Can a second degree student apply for a Traditional BSN?

   Lipoma replied to Helen Lee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   These courses are fluff and shouldn't be taken a second time during a second degree BSN. I'm responding to the question regarding what's considered fluff so yes these are fluff. If the OP didn't have a previous degree then those would be useful. Thes...

9. Can a second degree student apply for a Traditional BSN?

   Lipoma replied to Helen Lee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you already have a 4 year degree...and decide to return to school for a 4 year BSN...everything outside of your core nursing curriculum is considered FLUFF; math, english, psychology, philosophy, nutrition (yes a generalized nutrition course), wri...

10. Can a second degree student apply for a Traditional BSN?

    Lipoma replied to Helen Lee's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Mine was 12 months and I went insane a few times LOL. Still recommend it for those who just want to get in and get out. There was another local program that was 11 months. As for the OP, yes, you can apply to traditional BSN but I don't know wh...

11. RN to BSN or simply BSN?

    Lipoma replied to Dylan C's topic in ADN/BSN

    A BSN allows you take the NCLEX-RN upon graduation which grants you practice authority.

12. Grady Or Piedmont

    Lipoma replied to Mike Lawry's topic in SRNA

    If CRNA is the end goal you might as well skip the ED and go straight to the ICU at either hospitals. Although some programs accept ED experience, majority of them will take an ICU nurse over an ED-only nurse. However, if you do ED because you're hig...
