1. Mckendree University - BSN progam??

   nadja9 replied to al_e135's topic in Illinois

   Yes!!! It is an RN to BSN program, so you need to have your associate degree in nursing (ie SWIC, Lewis & ClarK, Stl. Community College system). There is no application fee, no deadline so you can still get in, and there are no prerequisites ot...

2. Why Are So Many Students Worried About Expensive Tuition

   nadja9 replied to khiasdestiny's topic in General Nursing

   I certainly understand that many private, as well as public, institutions have high tuition costs these days. While this will continue to be a growing concern, it is certainly true in tough economic times. However, there are some institutions that ...

   Hey Hospicetec, Let us all know how this is going!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell your lawyers to contact me if you want - I'm what most lawyers consider a "great witness" because of what I do for a living. We are getting ready to file ours, too. Our case is a ...

4. Anyone start school over 50?

   nadja9 replied to Lesli61's topic in CRNA

   Hi Lesli61, Where I'm at, we don't have a CRNA program. However, in our RN-BSN and MSN programs we have quite a few nurses over 50. Age is just a number - I say GO FOR IT if that's what you want!!!! Best of luck to you, Nadja

   nadja9 replied to lindseylou345's topic in Online Learning

   There are a few others on here, too, that were able to finish. However, there are many who spent lots of money that could never find clinical placement. I don't buy this explanation from Chamberlain that because of program changes, they have to reapp...

8. LPN Distance Education?

   nadja9 replied to summerdaze's topic in Online Learning

   Just an FYI Chamberlain, formerly Deaconess, no longer offers an online option for LPN. This was stated above, and it's true. They also no longer offer the online ADN for those outside of Missouri or Ohio.

9. LPN to BSN @ Indiana State U...here is the info i got!!!

   nadja9 replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Indiana (ISU)

   A WORD OF CAUTION: This is a new program - I would be very careful. I would make sure you line up a clinical site BEFORE you spend a dime on this program. I would ask ISU where the clinicals are being done and who is responsible for securing both th...

    Hospicetec, I'm very sorry to see this happen to you!!! I'm am legally represented as well - Chamberlain did the same thing to us basically (no clinicals) 3 years ago.........I think our attorneys should talk........

11. Chamberlain no longer accepting ANYONE out of state

    nadja9 replied to CaitRN2be's topic in Online Learning

    To those of you enrolled in this program - I'm very sorry that this has happened. I know all of you paid lots of money for this program, and that this is going to prolong your nursing education. Unfortunately, I'm not surprised by this. I have a lo...

12. Deaconess clinicals in Illinois

    nadja9 replied to hopetonurse's topic in Online Learning

    I heard you can now do them at Kenneth Hall Regional in East St. Louis. Don't know if that's true or not, but that's what I heard.

13. Deaconess College of Nursing???

    nadja9 replied to JessDawn84's topic in LPN-RN

    dtermineddenise- I wonder if we were in the same classes. My experience with DCN online was pretty much what you listed. You could never get answers, or straight answers, and had the same experience with the clinical issue. NO ONE would take us ...

14. Managing fatigue in M.S.

    nadja9 replied to Carlos Casteneda's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that increases fatigue greatly is the heat. You may already know this, but I thought I'd throw it out there. My mom has progressive MS, and the heat is her enemy when it comes to her energy level. In the summer, she tries to avoid being ...

15. Med-Mal Reform -- Write your Senator

    nadja9 replied to deepz's topic in CRNA

    First, define "frivolous lawsuit." In your own words. Second, a lot of information in the "every pt count" interestingly leaves out A LOT. Anyone with good reasoning and analytical skills could ask a TON of questions that would probably shoot a mi...
