No, I'm going through BYU.....it's self paced as opposed to 15 weeks and it's only $489. You have a bachelors and they are STILL making you take the class???? I have one BSN course under my belt...

Finishing up the writing requirement now......

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I stand corrected. I must have read that on RUE's website. It's been a few years.:blink:

. Yes, I posted it on the EC website around the end of February or the first week or two in March of 2010. I can't really remember but I really think I posted it in March.

You picked a great exam date! Passed mine 3 years ago today but it was actually on the 16th then. I was back in my car and 5 miles from the testing center at the one-hour mark. In as an LPN and out...

Congratulations on your starting point! Be forewarned, though. Trends in nursing have a way of 'convincing' us to change our viewpoints. You'll see. Good luck with your studies!:wavey:

As a hospital LPN during the time when the economy folded, my shifts were being cancelled like crazy! I applied to other hospitals for supplemental work, or at least tried to, but I got the "you're...

This poor patient had a lot of stressors on his 80-year-old body: abdominal surgery and the anesthesia from that, two cardiac arrests, unstable vitals that, for whatever reasons, the physician felt...

The increase in pay seemed to offset any issues when I had family at home. Now, most of my family work nights with their own families! I guess lesson learned....or at least adopted.

Completed the CPNE 02/14/2010; official graduation 04/16/2010 (also received my student copy of transcripts and diploma in the mail that day, along with the sealed copy for my BON, which I...

I'm gonna try not to misquote anything here. I think I read that RUE, although it is a publishing company, bares the Excelsior emblem because Excelsior approves of the textbooks that Rue uses, as...

Took mine (RN) in June 2010 (2 months after the change) and passed on the first try.

All the ones that I've heard of are 3 semesters long: spring, summer, fall. But it depends on your location and the school itself. Online programs are different in that they are self-paced, although...

Taking 3 years to do what you have the option of doing in one year....hmmmmm.....I have to WHOLE-HEARTEDLY agree with the title of your post. BUT, I try not to use the 's' word. It's just that there...

Here we go again! Is this the same poster from a couple of weeks ago who was 25? Did I miss your birthday? Happy belated!:singing: I'm pushing myself to complete this BSN degree before the BIG...

Luke 13: 14-17! This is what eased my heart when I was FORCED onto the time clock on Sundays. HOWEVER, being the hypocrite that I am, I try not to be getting off on Sunday mornings or going in on...

Graduated April 16, 2010. NCLEX-RN June 16, 2010. EXACTLY 2 months... Scheduled as soon as I received the ATT. Just a thought, CHECK YOUR JUNK EMAIL. I don't think they physically mail those out....

We use SBAR report sheets which we update as the shift goes along. We keep the same sheet from shift to shift, writing in pencil, until the patient is discharged or until the sheet just really needs...

Well, how about removing the impaction, then? C'mon now.....teamwork! If she won't clean it, at least she can help to bring it to the surface. I'll take it from there.:roflmao:

What!!!!! Shut your mouth!!! There's poop in nursing?!?!?!????:arghh::cheeky:

I start thinking about all things 'non-nursing' as soon as I hit the clock! Time to go! Quitting' time is the best time of the day!:yes: you did your best for the day. Let it go! Pobody's...

Pain is what the patient says it is in my book UNTIL he or she sets the alarm on the cell phone to wake him/her up all during the night for the PRN medication intervals OR when they ask if they can...

Me either. In fact, I was a med/surg LPN for years before getting RN. Now, I'm casually pursuing the BSN on my own accord since it hasn't been required.....just skipping along.....

Yes. Ours addresses current anticoagulant use first of all. Then it goes on to identify risk factors pertaining to certain age groups. My concern with it, which I frequently verify with our pharmacy,...
