1. Kingsborough Fall 2014 Clinical Applicants!

   knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York

   Honestly, just the textbook and maybe the nutrition book is more than sufficient for the course exams. You can choose your own drug book, nursing diagnosis book, and other books they require from other sources/editions. Or if your clinical instructor...

   Just nursing 18 and 17. Yep, it's hella exciting. :) A decent group to study with is a lifesaver. They kept me from slacking off!

   knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in New York

   Yay! Congrats you guys!! Let us know if there are any questions. Nursing 18 (fundamentals) was nothing short of CRAZY for me. But what helped survive was skimming the book and literally focusing 95% of my energy on bullet points, charts, diagrams, b...

   Some people will agree that getting accepted into a nursing program is the easiest part of your nursing career!

5. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

   And so that's what I'm skeptical about, sorry to be annoying.. But I'd would love to see just one ad where it says what you specifically asked for.

   - The job posting wants your degree from NLN approved school. - You have a BSN from an NLN approved school because you completed a bridge program. - My confusion is that it does NOT mention where one got their RN license and you said most hospitals...

   There is a list of schools that are nlnac/ccne approved, accredited, and even non profit, if you like to check it out. It's somewhere linked in this very thread. Thanks for bolding though. Please read carefully what the minimum requirements are askin...

   LadyFree28 - I believe you when you say they asked! :) Just saying that if do a legit, accredited bridge program, you will meet minimum requirements for a lot of nursing jobs.

   You aren't lying about where you got your BSN degree - so I am not understanding your reasoning for saying it would be "playing the semantics game" to put that. Most want magnet status - a BSN degree is giving them magnet status - it is YOUR opinion ...

    Yes, the VA and government entities will give you roadblocks about that. That is a known fact and issue if you got your license from an unaccredited institution. Unless your dream job is to work for these guys, it doesn't apply to you. By the way, I ...

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    So you put in your BSN school that's accredited from the RN-to-BSN bridge...or your highest degree earned.

    " Graduate of an NLN approved school of professional nursing. Licensed to practice professional nursing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. BSN from an accredited program is required. *BLS Required." Umm.. Where does this say you have to get your R...

    It seems that this criteria (albeit a bit biased and unfair to many) is highly variable in regards to region and employer's point of view of schooling. I've seen mostly 'Graduate from an accredited school of nursing. BSN preferred' and 'maintain x-st...

    knnyz replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    So you find a school (rn to bsn) that's **accredited** after the adn..... You will become a RN BSN from an accredited institution upon completion. I'll say it again for emphasis: RN BSN. TheCommuter has compiled a list some excellent programs. Ther...

    Hospitals will not hire for thousands, if not millions of reasons. Did i miss something that requires further clarification? The idea, again, is that the OP finishes their current ADN, and then pursue a BSN from an accredited institution after via rn...
