  2. Online LPN to RN/BSN Help

    shiftingtides replied to SteelNurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Indiana State or Excelsior are probably your best bets. With Indiana, I believe that you have to arrange local clinicals. With Excelsior, you have to plan on waiting a year for your final test (they...

    shiftingtides replied to Dy-no-mite Nurse1's topic in Excelsior College

  4. LPN to RN/BSN online

    shiftingtides replied to KD34's topic in General Students

    Just chiming in to say that yes, they are super

  6. Desperate and need advice

    shiftingtides replied to injured1's topic in General Students

    Have you tried any prescription sleeping meds? Something like Ambien might work well for you to get through clinicals. I would discuss it with your doctor. I have a similar natural sleep schedule and...

  7. Online pre-reqs for RN

    shiftingtides replied to Percephone's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Portage Learning (regionally accredited through Geneva College) is great.

  8. Weed

    shiftingtides replied to apsent1's topic in General Students

    Which states are these? All of the nursing schools in Colorado will not allow students who test positive for THC to attend. Schools take federal funds for students (student loans, grants, etc.), so I...

  9. 3 States Won't License Excelsior's ADN Grads

    shiftingtides replied to moretonel's topic in Excelsior College

    I don't think that this is true. California, at least, looks at what school you went to in order to sit for the NCLEX. You can't launder your degree (for lack of a better term) by getting your BSN...

  10. CLEP Test

    shiftingtides replied to brandi2007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are very welcome! Good

  11. CLEP Test

    shiftingtides replied to brandi2007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I highly recommend paying the $20 for access to the test-specific threads on this site: http://degreeforum.net/mybb/. There is great info there for this test. For me, I used that site and the info...

  12. Nurse accused of impregnating women in vegetative state

    shiftingtides replied to anon456's topic in Nursing News

    Awful. I was hoping that it wouldn't end up being someone responsible for caring for her. What a terrible thing and he is a terrible human

  13. Online DNP programs

    shiftingtides replied to SarahP1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm curious (and I hope you don't mind me asking in your thread, SarahP1), does anyone know of any online programs for FNP or PMHNPs that provide clinical placement, even if you have to travel to...

  14. Full time RN- Part time Real Estate agent?

    shiftingtides replied to Pawl's topic in General Nursing

    I have a hard time, like others have said, with the idea of a part-time real estate agent. It's not so much the part time bit, but the fact that you will not be available to take calls, show homes,...

  15. CLEP Test

    shiftingtides replied to brandi2007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The schools in my area have the same general policy. I love CLEPs. I tested out of psych, sociology, English Comp, and

  16. Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    shiftingtides replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

    Colorado is definitely bad like that. I'm guessing Long Island would probably be

  17. eBook vs Physical Book

    shiftingtides replied to Liz48's topic in General Students

    I tend to buy the physical book, or at least a version behind if it's too expensive. I don't mind reading some textbooks on my ipad, but the information sinks in better when I read it on

  18. Thinking of quitting...

    shiftingtides replied to DiscontentedNS's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you considered going to school to become a PA instead of an NP? It sounds like the nursing aspects are not something you're going to enjoy, and if you mainly want to diagnose getting your PA may...

  19. How to fight procrastination and sleeping in?

    shiftingtides replied to angel0309's topic in General Students

    For sleeping, I'm also a night owl and the only thing that works for me is to get up at the set time no matter what. No sleeping in - period. And to make sure i practice good sleep hygiene and go to...

  20. Crash Course - Hank Green

    shiftingtides replied to aquakenn's topic in General Students

    I think these are great to watch. Especially before a lecture or before diving into a chapter. Thanks for the reminder that they are out there!

  21. PTO

    shiftingtides replied to SidyJean's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be looking elsewhere for work. That is BS on so many different levels. I'm sorry you're dealing with

  22. How do I become stronger clinically?

    shiftingtides replied to alexamasan's topic in General Nursing

    I love this thread so

  23. Weed

    shiftingtides replied to apsent1's topic in General Students

    I live in Colorado, and testing positive for THC will get you dismissed from every nursing school in the state, as far as I know. It definitely will with all of the programs I've looked

  24. HESI vs TEAS

    shiftingtides posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! Due in part to what I've been reading in these (very helpful!) forums, I've decided to wait on starting an LPN program until (hopefully) next August. The program I had signed up for was...
