2. UDC pre entrance exams

   veg replied to sexigeli's topic in Washington DC

   Well the answer is that it depends on how smart you are. I don't mean that in an offensive way. You can be a generally intelligent person, but lack knowledge in certain areas. I thought the first section on vocabularly was particularly easy. Howeve...

3. pre-entrance exam at UDC for LPN program

   veg replied to TiffanyJB's topic in Washington DC

   Hi. You should contact the nursing department directly for advising. Don't guess. You can do this far in advance so you feel confident about your plan. Also, let's be clear that you are asking about the LPN program and not their RN program. The RN p...

4. UDC's LPN Program

   veg replied to puddin757's topic in Washington DC

   With regard to the LPN program -- it is only 7,000 dollars. From my comparative research regarding LPN programs in the DC metropolitan area, that is the best deal in town. Most other schools are 10 thousand or more. Their tuition is flat rate regardl...

5. Crocs!

   veg replied to mel1977's topic in Uniform/Gear

   If you go to the manufacturer's website, you can find referrals to local stores that sell crocs. Or maybe it would be easier to call local stores that you are already aware of that sell comfort shoes. Perhaps when you have a chance you can walk in an...

6. More education after 50

   veg replied to tigermom's topic in Educators

   I recently took a local university course where I was 45 years old and everyone else in the class was 18-20 years old. I only needed the one course so I dealt with it. Other than my personal discomfort, there were no problems from others. However, if...

7. how long should you practice as a nurse before becoming a teacher?

   veg replied to LanaBanana's topic in Educators

   Well there is getting hired as an educator and then getting an MSN in nuring education. Two different things. Look at Walden University for example. There you can go straight from a 2-year degree (AASN) to the MSN and bypass the BSN altogether! Wait...

8. Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)

   veg replied to camillan2604's topic in Educators

   Thanks. Good to know new resources. This is not completely distance learning, though, as there are a few weeks of short residency that you would need to be able to pull off. Also, note that there are eligibility requirements, so this is not suitable...

   veg replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

   Consider that you may be able to test out of statistics. CLEP and DANTES exams can help accelerate getting the core education requirements out of the way.

11. LPN to BSN?

    veg replied to abracadabra2886's topic in Online Learning

    I found two distance learning schools that offer the LPN to BSN track. Indiana State University was already mentioned. The other is Deaconness based out of Missouri. I found their website less informative. Nevertheless, both programs are listed as ac...

12. RN to BSN online

    veg replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

    Does anyone have feedback on the new Walden University program? You can go straight from your RN 2-year degree to an MSN and bypass the BSN along the way. I estimate the tuition (RN to MSN without a BSN) to be about 21K. http://www.waldenu.edu/c/Scho...

15. Online Nurse Educator Programs???

    veg replied to OBRN24/7's topic in Educators

    Don't overlook the new Walden MSN program: http://www.waldenu.edu/. They specialize in distance learning. I am especially fascinated by their program for RNs who only have a two year degree. They can bypass the BSN and go straight for the MSN in a s...
