   princess_j replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Online Learning

   For the RN to BSN component there is only one clinical course. It is a 3 credit/120 hour project/preceptorship that you can do in your community (like at a home health agency/county agency type organization). That's it. I will do mine next summer.

2. is RUE a mistake?

   princess_j replied to deegale's topic in Online Learning

   I used Rue's materials 5 years ago for the nursing exams (i had to take 5 or 6). I found them very useful and even found some of the study guide questions to be on the test. The study guides really helped me organize what I needed to know for the t...

7. Excelsior Degree and CRNA Grad Schools...

   princess_j replied to MrRacer98's topic in CRNA

   I agree - it was good for the ADN program, but for the BSN, it seems like a lot more work than a university program. SDSU is a great school and they have a great nursing program - I had several friends go to school there. I am going through the Uni...

14. Any Parkland nurses??

    princess_j replied to princess_j's topic in Texas

    I went to the open house at Methodist Hospital last night. I was really impressed with their internship program and I think I may have secured a position in the Jan 05 internship group in either the SICU/MICU or CCU. I really liked the case manager...

    I have been a nurse for nearly 10 years and have yet to work in a hospital besides the clinicals I did in school. I am considering one of the nursing internships that the hospitals in Dallas offer for new grads & nurses who just want to change a...
