I did Western Governors University. All online, self-paced. you must technically go "full time". It's not hard to do, you knock out one class at a time. Obviously it's not easy, but if you've already...
Not sure where you get that idea about nursing. Did you ever work on floor, maybe as a tech or something? I think it really depends on where you work. In the nursing field there are literally...
Wow, most people want to know how to get into ambulatory care from the floor! I guess it depends where you live. In a bigger city, I would think it would be easy to get onto the floor with any...

I have seen them.I work outpt chemo. The patient had to deal with it, we didn't touch them. It looked like a major hassle, she had to bring a cooler and change it frequently. From what I saw, it...

I recently got a job with Select after being a stay @ home mom for 3 yrs. I have a lot of PCU experience, but the 5:1 ratio (some vents) makes me a little concerned... and some shifts you cover LPNs....
Wow, you guys are lucky. I've been a SAHM for about 3 yrs, away from the hospital for 4, and am having a VERY hard time finding a job. I'm getting pretty disgusted with nursing ... I'm finding it to...
My first preceptor was a 54 yr old who had only been an RN for a few yrs.... she was one of the best! Age is only a number. But like some one else said, it's FAR from a perfect career. If you have...
