Well I was actually going to take boards this week because I'm supposed to be starting orientation at my new job on Monday. But I spoke to Dr. Marable yesterday and she informed me that the school does not send transcripts for students. I apparently ...

That's what I thought too. At first I thought that maybe I just missed the announcement, but I've called a couple people that graduated with me and they didn't know about it either. I don't think the BON would want to get separate transcripts from ea...
Hello everyone! I've been having a little trouble and would love some feedback. I just graduated in December from an LPN-RN program and I was supposed to be starting nursing orientation on January 12th. However, I just found out from my school that m...

I know this question wasn't directed to me, but yes they will tell you that you shouldn't work. They can't, however, actually make you stop working. It's just a strong suggestion. You're not required to tell them if you're working or not. I consisten...

I don't know if I mentioned it, but I did the LPN-RN mobility program. I started in January 08 and graduated December 08. Maybe I forgot to say that. But yes, if you did the traditional program and started in the fall, then you would graduate in May...

It sounds like the program would work out well for you then. I'm not sure how they do NUR 200, though. Because you only have to take it if you've been out of LPN school for more than a year, and my coworker and I graduated in August 2007 so we didn't...

well they actually had the pinning before we took our finals. i thought that was kinda wierd, especially with quite a few people sitting right on the 75% mark, so it could really go either way. but that's how they did it. i acually didn't do the pinn...

I really don't know all that much about Bessemer. But from talking to numerous people, the general consensus is that the program is much more organized than B'ham. I can't really give you any specifics, except about B'ham. But if I do hear anything I...

I'll second the opinion on attending the bessemer campus instead of B'ham. I'm graduating from the B'ham program this semester(just took my last final :balloons:) and I'll just tell you it's crazy over there. There are too many things to point out so...

I haven't attended the program myself, but I work with someone who is attending now. But it's my understanding that the online program just started being offered this past summer semester. I think my coworker was in the first group admitted, but I mi...

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I agree that alot could happen between now and December, but I've been contemplating the idea for a while now. Only time will tell... Thanks again! :)
I have sort of a dilemma right now and would appreciate any insight you could offer. I am a RN student getting ready to graduate in December. I'm currently a LPN and have worked on my med-surg unit for over a year. I love the people I work with as we...

There's a really extensive thread on this if you look in the student forum. It's up at the top under "threads of continuing interest" I think. It's called "Things you will need for nursing school" or something like that. Hope this helps... Oh and con...
