1. RN 30 unit option

   daniam25 replied to Jhope16's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Yeah, but there are programs that will let you do their RN-BSN out there, even without a diploma. That's why they are RN **** to BSN LOL

2. RN 30 unit option

   daniam25 replied to Jhope16's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   Hey! You would still need to attend a year program to be able to sit for the NCLEX-RN. You might as well do an ADN program. I did the 30 unit option "back in the day" and now have progressed to BSN, MSN, FNP, DNP.

3. RN 30 unit option

   daniam25 replied to Jhope16's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   The 30 unit option is definitely lesser credits and a shorter time to obtain RN licensure than an LVN to ADN program. Before I ever became an LVN, I had earned a Bachelors in epidemiology and biostatistics and a Masters in Public Health, so I am not...

4. Getting an RN certification if you're HIV positive?

   daniam25 replied to atahualpa67's topic in Indiana

   Good question nurseJonezee. I’m now DNP, CRNA, PMHNP, FNP and still hiv doesn’t get in my way. The ADA protects you anyway. It’s embarrassing to think that anyone might think that HIV may prevent them from being a nurse. Jesus, it’s not 1980...

6. Getting an RN certification if you're HIV positive?

   daniam25 replied to atahualpa67's topic in Indiana

   I am an RN with an MSN and have had HIV for 10 years. HIV has absolutely nothing to do with your ability to function as an RN. Go for it. Would diabetes prevent you from becoming an RN? Absolutely not.

7. Which FNP programs are the shortest?

   daniam25 replied to rynophiliac's topic in NP Students

   Id like to reply to this post. I disagree that a quicker education could be an issue. I have been an ER/trauma and flight RN for over 10 years, already have an MSN degree in nursing education and a doctoral degree in education (Ed.D), 3 ANCC board ...

8. Walden vs Chamberlain for RN-BSN/MSN

   daniam25 replied to CoffeeGeekRN's topic in Post Graduate

   I earned my BSN through Chamberlain and it was very doable. 100% of the coursework is online, there are NO clinicals, and the instructors are very fair. It is quite expensive though. There is another college that uses the same platform as Chamberl...

9. becoming an NP??

   daniam25 posted a topic in NP Students

   I am wondering if anyone can offer me any guidance regarding becoming an NP. I have been accepted to an NP program beginning next month and am quite anxious. I have worked hard and grown from an LPN to RN then I earned my BSN degree. I've worked p...
