   vokaybo replied to vokaybo's topic in General Students

   Grand Canyon University is a real school on campus and online. You can do either. Some nurses have to work to support family and do not have the time to attend classes on a physical campus. I obtained my BSN from GCU and plan to do my DNP there. I wo...

   Any input from anyone on choice of schools for DNP? Grand Canyon is my Alma Mater but I like Chamberlain's set up. Any advice from grads of either program?

   My husband is a RN and he left nursing after only 2 years of practice. He keeps up his license for a backup plan but he went back into the electrical field where he makes 4x the money as an industrial electrician. He had taken a position in ICU just...

   Can anyone tell me from first hand experience about any "totally online" DNP programs? I am looking at Grand Canyon University currently as I completed my BSN through them. The school I am attending and about to graduate with my MSN from, does not of...

   vokaybo replied to Lunah's topic in Excelsior

   Pixie, Did you finish? I am in 521 and 551 right now. I have 680 in the summer and then the capstone in the Fall. I am really having a nervous fit about these courses. Are they fairly straightforward? Leary about two classes at the same time.

7. Seasoned nurses education

   vokaybo replied to sharp2015's topic in General Nursing

   After 28 years with an Associate degree, I earned my BSN and now I am working on my Masters. I think it is very important to keep going and keep growing. I am 48 years old however. I don't think if I were 60 or over I would want to go back to school ...

8. FREE RN TO BSN?

   vokaybo replied to butterflykissesxo's topic in School Programs

   Forgot one thing.... If you could get your CNA and go to work some hospitals will pay you to go to RN school if you sign a contract with them to work for so many years after graduation. Also, many will reimburse you after you pass each class so you w...

   I don't know where you live, if you are straight out of highschool, how good your grades are or what but Kentucky has a college called Berea College that is free if you can get in. One of my friends went there and another friend's daughter is going t...

    Make a complaint with your state board of nursing first. Issues dealing with narcotics are usually mandatory to report. File a grievance with your HR department against your supervisor and complete an incident report as to what you found. Speak with ...

12. Failed out of BSN Program, What Now?

    vokaybo replied to JB131's topic in General Students

    Try Tri-County Community College in Murphy, NC. It is about an hour and a half from Kennesaw and there are several Georgia students that attend there. He could at least get his ADN and then could do BSN online.

13. Failed out of BSN Program, What Now?

    vokaybo replied to JB131's topic in General Students

    It seems as though he is doing well in his other classes since he has a 3.5 GPA. If possible, he may need to get down to the core reason he can't seem to get through this class with a passing grade. Often students do need tutoring in difficult subjec...

14. Pursuing CNA while in nursing school

    vokaybo replied to nursingwithjen's topic in Pre-Nursing

    A CNA is required in our state's community college system for nursing students to even be admitted. I believe it would be beneficial to you in whatever state you are in.
