   cootvon replied to ParkerNICUangel's topic in Arkansas

   many of the hospitals will hire you after your fall semester as a tech. You will get a higher rate of pay than an aide, and be able to do any of your skills you checked off on this summer. They all seem to be flexible with your schedule since it is...

   you are welcome. good luck. the summer semester is nerve racking. if you are a shy, non-people person, throw that out before you get there. Once you hit the skills lab you need to get as much practice in on as many people as you can.

   you will be on WebCT a lot...so a new computer is up to you. I wouldn't buy one if your current one works fine. SOME people like to take notes on a netbook in class, which is allowed. As for backpacks, you are about to buy the biggest, heaviest te...

   cootvon replied to cootvon's topic in Post Graduate

   You would also agree that some of those classes are not specialized... but are just "support" courses towards the masters. For example, I don't see the point in taking a research class or technical writing class again when I've already done those at...

10. ADN-MSN with previous BS and MS... any 1 year programs out there?

    cootvon replied to cootvon's topic in Post Graduate

    Hypothetically, I prepare for a specialized graduate program that requires a BSN for entry. Wouldn't you agree that a generalized MSN, finished in say 1.5 years would be a better use of my time than a BSN in one year? I wouldn't have a problem with ...

    As the title suggests, I have a BS and MS already. I'm completing an ADN program now. . Does anyone know of an online "general" (no advanced practice role...just general leadership or something) MSN I can complete within a year after graduating? T...
