   wifetoAndy replied to phoenix-'s topic in Florida

   Btw, my family lived in that area. I don't have a professional opinion of the hospitals but from a patient family member standpoint, Tampa General stood out. Baycare hospitals are supposed to be really good too.

   I am applying to this area as well. I have just about one year experience in a small town hospital ICU and a year PRN at a psych hospital. I have gotten a call back from Tampa General. If I were you I would apply where you want to work most and see ...

5. BSN program for $18,000... does it exist??

   wifetoAndy replied to angelagwen's topic in ADN/BSN

   I just graduated from Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN. Many AMEDD students come here because it fits all of the criteria for the programs. Tuition, length, and pass rate (100% for the last 5 semesters). Fort Campbell is nearby which a...

   I have heard that Centennial and Northcrest (in Springfield) have periodic new grad programs. Good luck!

7. RN-BSN online, without chem requirement

   wifetoAndy replied to AOX4RN's topic in Online Learning

   The program is great. The instructors are the same ones teaching in the classroom and on clinical rotations, and many of them still practice and/or are working on advanced degrees so they understand the demands on your time and are flexible. They sti...

8. RN-BSN online, without chem requirement

   wifetoAndy replied to AOX4RN's topic in Online Learning

   APSU requires stats, but they have it set up so that if you need a little extra help, there are tutors and a course that actually adds in an extra hour that builds your skills and helps you pass the course. If you can do chemistry, stats is possible....

   I go to the brick and mortar BSN program at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee. No chemistry required for the online or traditional program, and one of the highest NCLEX pass rates. Most of my teachers also teach the online courses and they ar...

10. What are your other degrees in?

    wifetoAndy replied to nurse2b013's topic in General Students

    B.A. in Economic Geography (1996). Should graduate with a B.S.N. in May 2012. Just curious to those that already have a 4-year degree and seek an A.D.N vs. BSN. My course of study would have been 2.5 years either way since some of my classes were ou...

11. why???

    wifetoAndy replied to smily11's topic in General Nursing

    Have you seen the show Combat Hospital? I am only a student nurse, so don't know much about the real workplace, but I love that the head nurse out ranks the doctors and he regularly tells them what to do!

12. TEAS Question

    wifetoAndy replied to adoglover's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Ours was weighed in relationship to our GPA in pre-requisites (BSN program) but I have not met anyone that had lower than a 70 and was admitted. You can buy a study guide for pretty cheap that has some practice tests in it, which would tell you what ...
