    RN to BSN in Michigan?

    It hasnt been too bad so far, my hardest course so was biochem, i took stats 10 years ago and managed to remember enough to test out after a few weeks. There is a lot of chance for help and instructors have been quick to respond to questions. If you...

    RN to BSN in Michigan?

    All BSN programs I have seen require those. Most ADN programs also include microbiology as well, I honestly dont think you will find a BSN program without those either as a prerequisite or as part of the program.

    U of M Flint/Ann Arbor

    A BSN is almost required now to get in at U of M now that they have been awarded magnet status, as far as where the degree comes from, that would vary among management, our unit has hired new grads from all over and seems that we get less UM grads th...

    I came up to about 67K since it's $1,353 per unit and you need 55 to graduate and that's not counting any other fees, full tuition $75,538 is according to theirs but I don't see where room and board is figured in especially as it's online, I'd talk ...

    What is your opinion on calling in "sick"

    No one questions Diarrhea seriously though, they aren't allowed to ask specifics here when you call off, if you are actually sick and get a doctor's note all missed days just count as one.

    Are new grads prepared for the bedside?

    My biggest frustration is that I have had some hit the unit with the mentality that they are instantly better than someone because they have a BSN, most don't even realize their preceptors are primarily ADN nurses because we are the ones with the mos...

    Do Columbus new grad jobs exist?

    My husband's family is down between Dayton & Cinci, when we visit they try recruiting me so we'll move closer, but since I don't hold my BSN yet I am seriously limited and would be looking at a sizable pay cut, I was told Kettering hires ADN in B...

    I opted to do online through WGU, so far I've finished two classes since starting in July. My manager is working to get it approved to tuition reimbursement since it's CCNE accredited like UM-FLint, EMU etc but they are competency based, prove you kn...
