  1. How do I become stronger clinically?

    I agree HelloWish. Every time one faces a difficult case or feel dumbfounded or incompetent, one has a choice- to avoid further thought about it, or to engage it head-on and learn it. This is often something that will need to happen either in the mid...
  2. With regard to the OP's original question, I will attempt to answer. There is no official role for RNs in dispensaries (which are not pharmacies and are not doctor's offices). Like another post said above, it might be a neat job after retiring as a n...
  3. This entire dialogue is ripe for rational discussion, but reading the posts I see many posts that reflect uninformed or emotionally loaded responses. I think a few major points need to be addressed so I'll give it a shot. - I read several here confl...
  4. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    No I passed on OU and it now looks like I've missed the January 2018 class-up so I probably won't attend. What scared me away from OU was my DARS transcript request saying that I needed GE courses and "composition"... I have two degrees from Berkeley...
  5. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    I have two BA degrees and tons and tons of credits (about 250) from previous careers. I took a very wide range of courses from econ/anthro/sociology/nutrition/psych/history in order to get accepted to UC Berkeley and graduate as a double major. These...

  7. Need Public Health Nursing Certification

    I believe that the CE course through Gannet, Zur, or Quantum, plus any BSN , will get you the PHN. However the question is whether you'll have the 90 clinical hours in public health. Programs like CSUs RN-BSNs mostly make you go out and do that, and ...
  8. Need Public Health Nursing Certification

    I'm going to save you thousands of dollars here. Go to Gannet or Nurse.com , Quantum Nursing Education, or Zur Institute, and take their $21 course on child abuse/detection and reporting. It will say whether it is approved by the CA BRN. You have ...
  9. Paramedic Prior to Nursing?

    Absolutely do the EMT for sure. It's a good backup credential and looks good. Especially if you can do it while waiting to start RN school. It will get you disciplined in the basics of patient care and emergency medicine. As for EMT-P , If you are yo...
  10. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    I just applied to OU RN-BSN. I took business courses through their "distance learning" dept (by mail) many years ago while in the military overseas and that was a good experience. Generally OU is an old brick & mortar campus with a good reputatio...
