   Hahah. I still disagree. Funny looking back at this post. I've gone on to get my BSN and am now in anesthesia school at Columbia in NYC. My opinion still stands. I guess in the end though, nursing is what you make of it. Good luck !

   I applied and it says we should hear back by winter break. Did any of you go to any of the information sessions?

   I don't understand what you mean? You are a graduate and become a registered nurse once you pass NCLEX. ASN and diploma are the same level and make the same money coming straight out of school. Honestly I wouldn't get caught up in the diploma, asn, b...

   BRG is a diploma program and your pre-reqs must be completed beforehand at a community college or university outside of BRG. Everyone at BRG absolutely LOVES it and the faculty truly cares about each student's success. It has more clinical time than ...

   If you are speaking of OLOL in Louisiana I would have not heard much positive about this program. I am a graduate of a school in Baton Rouge, and the students attending OLOL never had anything good to say about it. Baton Rouge General (my school, whi...

8. When it is mentioned about acute care, that does that entail of the ICU?

   adriqj46 replied to JC_Smith2009's topic in General Nursing

   Not at all! I just graduated from a diploma program and will be working as an ICU nurse. A BSN is more for those who want to go into management type positions. You can always go back and do your RN-BSN after you graduate. Good luck!

   Thanks CrxTech! I wish I could take a little more time off, but we are in the midst of putting our house on the market and moving. Plus my husband got laid off and is now in school full time so I'll be the bread winner for a few months. I really am b...

    Graduated from a diploma program in Louisiana on Dec 11th! Took NCLEX today..awaiting anxiously for the results. It cut off at 75 questions and I got the "good" pop up so hopefully that means good news. I will be working as an ICU nurse starting next...

11. NCLEX-RN results from LSBN (Louisiana) vs Pearson Quick Results??

    adriqj46 posted a topic in NCLEX

    I took the NCLEX-RN today and got 75 questions. Of course like everyone else I'm anxious to know the results. I know after 48 hours I can pay $7.95 to get the results on the Pearson website. Do they take holidays into account? If so does anyone think...
