7. RN residencies?

   Lily2011 replied to want2banrn's topic in New Nurse

   I am trying to decide to take an offer I received for a Versant RN Residency. The only thing holding me back is that the hospital it would be at requires a 2-year commitment after the 18 weeks is completed. Did the health care facility you did your ...

    I agree with tokyoROSE, getting your BSN now is the very best option if you EVER plan on going on with schooling to obtain an advanced-practice degree (NP, CRNA, etc.). Many hospitals (mostly magnet) now require nurses with their ADNs to go back to s...

12. Best time to take KAPLAN NCLEX review course?

    Lily2011 replied to AlyseNavidad's topic in NCLEX

    I would say not until after you graduate. The Kaplan courses are quite expensive and the lady who came to talk to us about taking them this past spring said they hold the class a few weeks after you graduate. However, I decided against taking the cou...

    Lily2011 replied to mbmn's topic in Minnesota
