   as2633 replied to nurseamy04's topic in Virginia

   I graduated from ECPI Virginia Beach a few years ago and have my BSN now. The program was okay. Plan on getting a BSN- Not from ECPI. I was good with the program until the middle. We were short instructors and they were filling slots with teachers th...

3. In VA, what can a RN do that an LPN can't

   as2633 replied to Wannabeeinscrubs's topic in Virginia

   It's hospital and unit dependent. At my facility, LPN's weren't allowed to take doctor's orders or push meds.

4. Pay for QMC/HPH

   as2633 replied to nurseman81's topic in Hawaii

   I don't know about HPH, but Queen's will probably consider you a new grad. I interviewed there a few weeks ago and the HR manager explained nurses with less than 24 months of floor experience in the role of RN are still new grads. Starting pay in tha...

6. Written up!

   as2633 replied to as2633's topic in Student Assist

   We got the address, but there were three different addresses for three different community service board locations (all had different names). We knew what location we were to be at and the address. When we didn't see any vehicles we figured this was ...

   as2633 posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hi everyone, I have a bit of anxiety over being written up today and basically I want to know if getting written up in school will have an impact on my ability to find a job after school. I'm currently in psych clinical, I was paired with another ...

8. Torn between MCI and Riverside RN Program in New Newsport

   as2633 replied to Dee2012's topic in Virginia

   I'm an MCI student about half way through the program. The school is for profit and does cost 40k, but you may transfer in some of your courses. My total program cost is around 25,000 (this includes books, uniforms, etc.). I'm not from Virginia, in...

    You'll need three letters of recommendation. The counselors are pretty upfront, but it's not like they can say "you're in for sure." It's ultimately up to the directors. Don't stress, just do your best and stay positive!

    as2633 replied to prayerngrace's topic in Virginia

    I have no idea how MCI does their GPA thing. Have you taken the pre-req's? Chem, Computers, and Math.. if so, did they transfer? As for the first semester you're in nursing school- don't count on your classes transferring. They may not. My advice:...

12. How does nursing grading scale translate?

    as2633 replied to as2633's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much. That's what I assumed, but it seemed odd that a school would want their students graduating with lower GPA's. Though I see the benefit of the strictness of our grading scale.

    The school I am attending uses a nursing grading scale (100-93=A 92-86=B 85-80=C Anything below 80 is failing). It's an associates program and I would like to earn a BSN once I'm finished. When I turn my transcripts in will the BSN school I apply t...
