3. Online RN to BSN or go for MSN at Chamberlain??

   IndyColts replied to CookieZRN's topic in Chamberlain College

   I recommend you go to an established state university, particularly one affiliated with a teaching hospital. You will get a better education and you will have better opportunities for clinical practice. If I were hiring an MSN and someone from Chambe...

5. Why do articles say nurses are high in demand but in reality it's not?

   IndyColts replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in General Students

   My analysis of the situation begins with the impression that it has become too easy to become a nurse. Nursing programs have lowered their admission and retention standards allowing less-that qualified persons to become nurses. Further, nursing progr...

6. Carrington College or UNR?

   IndyColts replied to CaliJessXoxo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I recommend you check into the clinical placements for both programs. Your clinical experience in a nursing program is very important and some hospitals/medical centers exclude private, for profit programs from using their settings. The Carrington LV...

   I'm gonna tell you what the real problem here is. Though I don't know the particular colllege in question here, I do know that even the best nursing programs suffer under the endless complaints of students when the nursing program tries to impose pro...

8. Capella University vs. Walden

   IndyColts replied to freezebabyRN's topic in Post Graduate

   Capella and Walden are for-profit, online programs that do not offer the quality of nursing education that one would receive at a university associated with a medical center. The best advanced degrees in nursing come from programs such as the Univers...

9. Anyone attended Western Career College?

   IndyColts replied to Quis's topic in California

   WCC is run by people who do not understand nursing. They are primarily interested in collecting enormous fees from unwitting students who, for the most part, cannot get into traditional, college-based programs. They get rid of the teachers who have s...

10. Delta College, Stockton, CA

    IndyColts replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in California

    Everyone seems to be looking for easy courses but what the community and profession need are people who are well prepared to take care of them, not people who got through a class because it was easy. Take the easy teachers and learn little; take the ...

    Trust me, the people that go to WCC could never get into Stanford.

12. Xavier in Stockton

    IndyColts replied to Faith2BAnurse's topic in California

    Xavier, WCC, and Kaplan will take anyone with a pulse and then they are thrust on poor unsuspecting patients in the community when they do their clinical. A friend of mine is a nurse at The County and she says the nurses don't trust the students when...

13. Unitek College LVN program... good or Bad??

    IndyColts replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    The proprietary programs such as Unitek are primarily interested in the income from students. They admit under-qualified students who cannot get into the competative programs at the Community Colleges and their practice is to do most anything to keep...

14. bumps on back - HIV?

    IndyColts replied to zacarias's topic in Disease

    I think your friend is correct about the assumption. I know two persons with HIV who are on HIV medications and they have developed, I'll call them lumps on their backs. They are not discolorations--just pronounced skin elevations.

15. Move to FL for schooling ?

    IndyColts replied to hevnbnd4's topic in California

    Thanks for posting your resume and all of your excuses for making a C in anatomy. One thing nursing does not need is someone who can produce multiple excuses for their downfallings. Nursing needs mature, smart people who own up to their shortfallings...
