1. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

   zack1a replied to jlpsu's topic in ADN/BSN

   Hahaha, nice. What if all of life worked that way? A day at Best Buy Customer: "I can't really tell the difference between the $600 television and the $3,000 one. Can you explain what I'm missing?" Salesman: "You'll know the difference when you buy i...

2. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

   zack1a replied to jlpsu's topic in ADN/BSN

   Coming from a Army infantry combat brigade I was under the impression I'd left the ego and bravado behind. Unfortunately, this has proven an ignorant assumption. I've met (many) Generals who put less emphasis on the letters beside their name. Anyway...

3. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

   zack1a replied to fakenurse's topic in Professionalism

   calivianya: I can definitely see your frustration here. I have witnessed the awe in some nurses eyes when they hear another female doesn't have interest in having children. It's really quite shocking to hear some of the responses to people talkin...

4. CRNA HELP

   zack1a replied to jayp213's topic in SRNA

   I feel the same way, this isn't an appropriate decision to be made with the aid of an online poll. I wouldn't be so quick to assume that you'll get done with CRNA school a whole lot sooner than you would be done with medical school. By the time you ...

6. IUPUI ASN - BSN Transition Spring 2013

   zack1a replied to zack1a's topic in Indiana

   The thread is actually discussing the ASN to BSN program which is for those who already have a nursing degree. If anyone was wondering, since there really is no clinical space required, this program isn't competitive. The BSN program you're referring...

7. CRNA Threat

   zack1a replied to samirish's topic in CRNA

   This morning I saw a red car run a red light. Therefore I have come to the realization that all failure to stop tickets are written to drivers of red cars. Furthermore, only yellow cars drive through yellow lights and only green cars drive through gr...

8. BSN at WGU to CRNA.

   zack1a replied to KbmRN's topic in Western Governors

   IndiCRNA: Are you aware of which other states allow CRNAs to run an independent practice? Or, even better, do you know where this information can be found? Thanks, Zack

9. IUPUI ASN - BSN Transition Spring 2013

   zack1a posted a topic in Indiana

   Anyone attending IUPUI in the Spring for the ASN-BSN transition? I really have no idea what to expect. Maybe we could set up a study group or something. Look forward to hearing from you.

10. WGU RN-BSN transfer to Vanderbilt?

    zack1a replied to Paige-RN's topic in Western Governors

    Correction, he did say it was 3.0 I guess you just have to figure out what your GPA is now and add the number of credits you'll earn from WGU at 3.0

11. WGU RN-BSN transfer to Vanderbilt?

    zack1a replied to Paige-RN's topic in Western Governors

    As long as its accredited, which it is, you'll be fine. The only problem you may run into is if the program is competitive. If I'm not mistaken, WGU uses a pass/fail system. I'm not sure how they can use this when calculating your GPA. A friend of mi...

12. CRNA difficulties with prior DWI

    zack1a replied to RNwannbe's topic in SRNA

    Unfortunately, according to Texas Code Crim. Proc. 55.02, you're right. The only way to have it expunged is if you we're acquitted or win an appeal. Another option to look into is to see if you can get the record sealed. I'm not too familiar with th...

13. CRNA difficulties with prior DWI

    zack1a replied to RNwannbe's topic in SRNA

    My first question would be how long ago was the conviction. Next would be, are you eligible for expungement? If you don't have other offenses, related or otherwise, and enough time has elapsed you may be able to get it wiped from your record. You wil...

14. To all who took or going to take NCLEX - Rn ..

    zack1a replied to fitnryt's topic in NCLEX

    I used the Saunders CD that came with the book. I did over 1000 questions. My best advice is to review the test taking techniques in the book thoroughly. These will help you answer questions even if you don't know the specific drug, disorder, ect.Bes...

15. Which Chemistry Class is best?

    zack1a replied to NicoleH405's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Last summer I was in your exact position and my advisor, assuming I just wanted to do enough to get by, told me to take Survey of General, Organic and Biochemistry. Approaching the end of the semester I'm really beginning to learn how worthless this ...
