   No, you do not get a degree until full completion of the master's. Though the educational content is equivalent to a BSN, a BSN degree is not given. Good luck to you.

   Congratulations, KetuUCF. I took NCLEX on Tuesday. Computer shut off at 75. I found out this morning that I PASSED! Thank you, Jesus. I had absolutely NO alternative style questions. Not one. A lot of prioritization and infection control, tea...

   I want to thank everyone that has ever posted on this thread. It has been a blessing and a great addition to my study materials. I took the NCLEX today and it stopped at 75 questions. I can't remember much about the whole test. I do know that I h...

   Hands and Heart replied to verruca_freeze's topic in Post Graduate

   The interview process is their final decision process to pick candidates. They did ours as a group interview with six to eight applicants at a time. Good luck.

   Are you trying to buy scrubs for yourself or a specific type of uniform? I bought some really good quality scrubs from theuniformcity on Ebay. Very reasonablely priced, too.

11. HOLY CRAPOLLA!!! I am almost done!

    Hands and Heart replied to Chantilly's topic in General Students

    Follow the subliminal advice of the emoticon that you used and hang in there. It is a good sign that you are worried. I am about to start my new grad training in two and a half weeks, and I am scared crapless. I know I have what it takes but I don...

12. Employee Incentives

    Hands and Heart replied to michael79's topic in General Nursing

    The scrub jacket idea is cool but I'd suggest something in a solid color so that male nurses don't get left out with foofoo prints. Maybe a sweater/sweatshirt jacket. Maybe even a light outerwear jacket with hospital logo. Coffee shop gift cards. ...

    A nurse I was following today in my clinical rotation gave me a great perspective on procedures and nursing: Being able to do a procedure isn't as important as having a clear picture of your patient and know the whys, risks, and benefits of said pro...

14. Starting Masters right out of nursing school?

    Hands and Heart replied to may8755's topic in General Students

    I finish my basic nursing program on August 30th and start my master's classes September 24th. But that is the way my program is set up. It is a direct entry to master's for individuals with previous bachelors in other fields. Wish me luck.

15. I hate it when the male nurses on my unit...

    Hands and Heart replied to nursedudeforchrist's topic in General Nursing

    That is just crazy since over 50% of the population is female. The male nurses knew that going into the profession. For years and years, female nurses have been caring for male patients without shuffling the responsibility to another person.
