1. Chamberlain College Of Nursing- FNP program

   sherri12 replied to Clevengood's topic in Chamberlain College

   I just graduated from Chamberlain Feb 24th with my FNP. I really liked the class format and the online learning. I passed my ANCC boards 3 weeks later. The entire last course is focused on passing not only the final exam for the class, which is based...

2. Is it true that patho, pharm, and adv assessment are weed-out classes?

   sherri12 replied to nursejl1's topic in NP Students

   I just finished advanced patho and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I ended up with a 96% in the class. I actually enjoyed the class, even though it was a LOT of work. I am in my first week of pharm and find it similar.

3. Names patients call you other than your own name

   sherri12 replied to resilientnurse's topic in NP

   I've been called a "nurse beautician"...because I was also a hairstylist for 20 years and am regularly curling and rolling patient's hair!

4. Chamberlain College Of Nursing- FNP program

   sherri12 replied to Clevengood's topic in Chamberlain College

   Hi NV-RN, I had a hard time with Epidemiology. I had a 4.0 GPA until I took that class! lol. But, they are doable together. I work full time (40+hours) and there is a lot of writing papers in both classes. Depends on how much time you have I guess. I...

5. Chamberlain College Of Nursing- FNP program

   sherri12 replied to Clevengood's topic in Chamberlain College

   I am currently in the FNP program at Chamberlain and I love it. I chose Chamberlain because I wanted 100% online and the cost was much cheaper than the local college choices. ( I live in NH). Chamberlain does assist you in finding a preceptor. I am i...

6. LPN license eligible?

   sherri12 replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

   In NH, you can sit for the LPN boards if you have finished 600 hours of nursing school, including clinical. You must have finished Fundementals of nursing, Med-Surge, and Parent-child health also. I will graduate in May of 2013 with my BSN, but I am ...

7. Hospitals only hiring BSN's?

   sherri12 replied to txhopeful13's topic in ADN/BSN

   Actually, MunoRN... I haven't even graduated yet. I will graduate with my BSN in May of 2013 from a University in New England. So, no, the good ol' days are not gone, you just have to look around.

8. Hospitals only hiring BSN's?

   sherri12 replied to txhopeful13's topic in ADN/BSN

   I go to a University in New England and I've never heard of a cost that high. For those who want to go to a private school and pay $90K... I wonder if their education was worth the extra $65k. Dartmouth-Hitchcock hospital (near Dartmouth College), a...

9. A/S Nursing Program AND Work Full-Time?!?!

   sherri12 replied to dlsoler's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I went back to school at 42. I also have a family, house, kids, and bills. I am in my last year of a BSN program and have worked 35-40 hours the entire time and still am able to make the Dean's list every semeseter. Paying down bills before hand? Im...

10. Hospitals only hiring BSN's?

    sherri12 replied to txhopeful13's topic in ADN/BSN

    $40-60K for a BSN??? I paid $24,000 for my entire 4 year BSN education at a University. My car cost more than that.

11. ATI Fee

    sherri12 replied to breezy7's topic in General Students

    At my 4 year Universtiy we get charged around $250. a semester for ATI. So far it's not helping me, but we'll see. I'm in the second half of my junior year.

12. burnout for this semester

    sherri12 replied to oklahomagal's topic in General Students

    I always get really tired the last two weeks of the semester. I just study what I can and do it and I've been fine so far. Good luck with next semester. We only get one week off and we begin second semester!

13. Getting a C in Nursing

    sherri12 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    I agree with illsince83. gpa is important. And for somebody else who had asked, the grading scale (for the nursing courses only) at my University is tougher. A 96-100 is an A. A 90 to 95 is an A-. I have always been an A student throughout my pre-req...

14. Getting a C in Nursing

    sherri12 replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

    I'm in my second semester of a BSN program. If we had a C in any nursing class, we would be OUT. We can't get below a 79 (B-). We also have to take a med calculation test the second week of every semester and pass it with a 95%, or we are OUT. We get...

15. I need some advice?

    sherri12 replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I got a B- in both A&P 1 and 2 and I'm an A student in the nursing courses. In my opinion, A&P are much harder than the nursing courses are. I'm in a BSN program and also working 30 hours a week, with a family! You can do it.
