   RJ---RN replied to lapriajanae1's topic in Missouri

   kUDOS TO WDWpixie. I support what you say. People get VERY defensive. They will find out in time that they will be repeating MOST of their credits to get that BSN. I, and many others stand side by side with you nurse friend!

   RJ---RN replied to lapriajanae1's topic in Missouri

   Yep, you got it right! The students/graduates of course are defensive. I have nothing against them AT ALL. Sure they pass state board, I'm glad after all they paid! The instructors are good people too. It's the administration of the school, and ...

   RJ---RN replied to lapriajanae1's topic in Missouri

   wdwpixiern I agree. It's the students that are duped and tricked into going to that school. Just for grins, I called SBC and told them I wanted to go to school, and asked what the tuition cost was. I told her I would pay cash. SHE WOULD NOT TELL ...

   RJ---RN replied to lapriajanae1's topic in Missouri

   Labmum2: I wish you well. There are plenty of great nursing schools. Just make sure they are North Central Accredited. That is key if you want to eventually get your BSN or beyond. I was an LPN for 10 years, but once I got started, my quest for ...

6. Injections practice?

   RJ---RN replied to NurseStudentHusband's topic in General Students

   I would advise against you as the human pin cushion. The school has manniquins, you can use an orange as well. For the TB test, I taught my students to use hot dogs. It has a good feel like real skin and can actually make a "bleb" You are a good h...

   RJ---RN replied to lapriajanae1's topic in Missouri

   To AngelaRN2B. Bless your heart. You said it soooooo well. I could not ethically remain an instructor there when I saw what was happening and how innocent students were getting ripped off. It is so very important to go to a fully accredited colleg...

   RJ---RN replied to lapriajanae1's topic in Missouri

   Yes, they will accept you, but will they credit you for ALL the hours your earned? Example: If you graduate with Asso. Degree from fully accredited college, they should accept much if not all of your earned credits. It has been my experience that ...

9. What's your story? Why did you take up nursing?

   RJ---RN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   I was 24 years old - no training or no college education. Figured that I could better myself and my family if I went to nursing school. Tha'ts exactly what I did. I've never been sorry. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO CHANGE CAREERS, OR ENTER THIS FIELD. ...

11. Considering nursing as a career change

    RJ---RN replied to rnckr's topic in Men

    I am going to take issue with your reply. As a nurse with many years experience, I have worked side by side with EXCEPTIONAL MALE NURSES. The nurses I worked with never SAW men or women. We are professionals doing a job. No male was "effeminent"...

    RJ---RN replied to lapriajanae1's topic in Missouri

    You are right, you are taking same NCLEX. However, it is not accredited by North Central, only ACICS, which is an accreditation that is purchased by the college. If you areticulate to a BSN program, they will probably only credit you 1/4 credit for...

    RJ---RN replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    You're a good nurse, and someday will be a great one! I would do the same thing, and have! Keep up the good work.

14. Penn Valley RN Program...What is like?

    RJ---RN replied to HealingRainne's topic in Missouri

    I am a PVCC graduate. It is a great program, fast paced for sure, but do-able. When I went there, I had a small child. I worked full time as an LPN at the time too. I went on to get my BSN then Master's. GO FOR THE GUSTO!
