1. Anyone in Arkansas think LPN is a bad idea?

   alotusforyou replied to alotusforyou's topic in Arkansas

   Thanks for all the advice. I didn't even know about the lottery scholarship. I will have to look into that!

2. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

   alotusforyou replied to RN*mommy's topic in Western Governors

   The only prerequisite is an RN license. They give you 50 or 60 credit hours automatically ( I can't remember which number) just for having an RN license. Then other courses you took in your ADN program may transfer in as well to cover many of the oth...

3. MSN to FNP or DNP

   alotusforyou replied to Lisa1980's topic in Doctoral

   I haven't been in this program, but the fastest anyone has completed it (that I know of) has been 12 months.

4. Anyone in Arkansas think LPN is a bad idea?

   alotusforyou posted a topic in Arkansas

   I've read tons of threads on whether to get an LPN first or just go for RN, but if anyone from Arkansas (especially the NW area) has any opinions on the matter, I'd love to hear them. As far as I know (I have no experience yet...I'm going to a CNA cl...

5. RN pay in NW Arkansas

   Just saw this in a local classifieds ad: Washington Regional Medical Center Join our team. The following positions are available: Fantastic Opportunity For Experienced RNs in our Registry, 7a-7p and 7p-7a, $35 per hour, Weekend/Night Shift Differe...

6. Splendid Opportunities in Nursing

   alotusforyou replied to Brian's topic in Rock

   Adjusted for inflation, $30-35 is $496 - $579 in 2012 dollars. I guess that probably was a good deal during the Great Depression, although they probably all ended up with less student loan debt (or none!) than we do today!! One of my favorite writers...

7. Starting WGU RN-BSN

   alotusforyou replied to 2shihtzus's topic in Western Governors

   I'd really like to hear if anyone has gotten into a NP Master's program with a WGU BSN?

8. WGU (Western Governors) no longer "Accelerated and Affordable"

   alotusforyou replied to Hexum944's topic in Western Governors

   2 1/2 years for a BSN? I'm not trying to make light of your frustration at all, but that still seems like a good deal to me. I wish I could take it in Arkansas. Locally, I have the option to get an ADN in 2 1/2 years or a BSN in 4 years.

9. Angry Nurse here!

   alotusforyou replied to beeker's topic in Relations

   Oh man, if someone had done that when I was pregnant, tbere would not have been a pretty ending...

10. LPN to RN vs LPN to BSN

    alotusforyou replied to keykey0890's topic in LPN-RN

    I'm just a pre-nursing student, so my opinion probably isn't helpful, but I've read a lot about this and am asking myself the same questions. All in all, I think it just depends on your location. What is the pay advantage to being an ADN to an LPN in...

11. NP Programs in Scotland

    alotusforyou posted a topic in NP Students

    I'm an American pre-nursing student. I recently found out that I'm a UK citizen, so I'm seriously considering a move to the UK after I get a BSN and work as a nurse in the US for a year (if I can find a nursing job in the UK). My ultimate goal, howe...

12. LPN to BSN mobility program at OU college of nursing

    alotusforyou replied to mynismrh's topic in Oklahoma

    So...just to clarify (if someone will for me, please), every applicant who meets the minimum requirements is admitted to the program? There is no limit to number of accepted students?

13. DNP and working full time?

    alotusforyou replied to Tiff3790's topic in Doctoral

    I don't want to high jack the thread, but BCRNA, can you tell me what DNP program only takes a little over a year with an MSN? It was my understanding that most programs would take me 2 years going full time and 3-4 years going part time? Thank you!!

14. witnessing a DNR

    alotusforyou replied to turnforthenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse (yet), but I would feel really awkward in this situation as a visitor of a patient. I would be dilly dallying too, trying to figure out what was going on and why I would need to be involved in a stranger's care. At the same time, if I...

15. Professionals or "workers"

    alotusforyou replied to blackribbon's topic in Union

    It shouldn't matter if you are a professional or not, if you work under management of any kind or as an employee, a union is probably always a good idea. It doesn't matter how knowlegable, educated or skilled you are, if you do not own the means of p...
