In the ER I work in currently we do verbal reports but in the ER I worked in previously, we did SBARs and that seemed to work out well. Basically had all the general info on the patient, name, age,...

There is a difference between graduation rate, and NCLEX pass rate. I have found that a lot of schools have high nclex passing rate, but very few have good graduation rates. Might want to clarify and...

OMG!!! I wish I would have seen all this before hand!!! I would have applied already! I was in an RN program but got out of it in March and I been looking to do straight BSN now. But if I would have...

I graduated high school when I was 17 and I been paying out of pocket since my second semester. My parents never paid for school. I was never a party girl and I still did bad. I just simply didnt...

Im an LVN and just found out about this program about 10 mins ago, so I will be applying tomorrow and driving down to the school on Thursday to attend the information session. Does anyone know how...

How many pre-req courses did you repeat? I know they only allow you to repeat 4 pre-req courses that you have made a C in.

"West Coast University is a private trade school that charges $132,000 in tuition for a generic BSN program, and we still see many people on these forums who are interested in attending." Ahh yes...

Ahhh I asked myself the same thing. I'm an LVN right now and was going to start a transition BSN program. Was going to cost me 66K for the two years to complete the program and that's because I have...

So I met with the advisor and she wasn't very helpful. Kind of just looked at me waiting for me to ask questions instead of just trying to provide me with information. I asked about the partnership...

I am seeing a lot f different things from this site as well and a lot of information is incorrect according to what the guy over the phone told me when asking about the program. AnonEmos had a lot of...

I'm not sure how old you are or if you are even willing to do this but they have parent loans to for their children. I'm not sure if you have to be a certain age or not to do that. I am somewhat in...

Yeah I'm having a problem finding a clinical site. I just started a new job on Monday and this hospital doesn't accept outside students even if u work here. Ugh, so can't do them where I work and my...

Smvx, I believe the internships for Dec graduates are already posted. Well at least for the specialties they are. I was just hired at Scott and White about 3 weeks ago, I applied Oct 1st, had an...

There are a number of things I would change and some of the Previous Posters have said a few. But if you decide not to change much, please correct this part. "Dedicated, compassionate and...

I think you should apply for a job now instead of waiting to get all these certifications. I know it makes the resume look better but who knows when the class will be and often the job will pay for...

If anyone is in the class that started in April and would like to sale their books, let me know!

I agree with previous poster. But if you do decide to go ahead with the transfer if you are eligible, then I would definately include any and all certifications on your resume. Especially CPR....

Oh gosh yes, because their deadline really is like two weeks before their posted deadline.

You need BLS in order to get ACLS. So renew your BLS if it's expired and then do ACLS. I personally would work for a few months before doing ACLS, it kind of helps to have a few skills in place and...

Oh geez. It doesn't matter. You work for two seperate hospitals. Not even the same facility, so no chance you would even see each other at work. My nurse manager is dating the chief doctor in our ER,...

If we had enough time to take breaks, then you wouldn't see this problem so much. I work in a very busy ER, if I even leave for ten minutes to eat, I will have a new EMS patient (just my luck). Can't...

I didn't buy the computer book because it's really not a class I care about. But I believe that's all the books needed on the website. They have pdf files of the chapters as well on the site too so I...

I just started this Program on June 27th. I was suppose to start in April but the admissions office didn't forward my transcripts to the nursing office in time, so I had to wait til June. So I would...

Well that would make more sense. Yeah LVNs aren't suppose to do initial assessments but usually the patients in long term care or rehab are there for a while and an LVN would need to do an assessment...

But they are still assessing whether the RN is cosigning or not. They have to know whats going on with their patients. Or maybe they don't. Maybe thats why us nurses that work in the ER can rarely...
