  1. Emory D-ABSN 2021

    kayji replied to JLColton's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I checked the class registration portal and for the Spring 2021 cohort there are only 3 open seats at the moment. They've said keeping the classes small is part of their plan. If you really want to be...

  2. Specialty areas for new grads

    kayji replied to 2021NEgrad's topic in General Students

    Apply to everything you think you might be interested in. Part of job interviewing is figuring out where you want to be, so go and ask questions, get a feel for the environment and team, which are...

  3. Emory D-ABSN 2021

    kayji replied to JLColton's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think we had 4 who had to go to ATL for some part of clinicals (it varied by units were needed) after the planned trip. My understanding of why is: 3 they didn't find sites locally 1 they found...

  4. New Grad moving to another state

    kayji replied to nursemugs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This seems like a chicken/egg question... does your bf have any say in where his orders send him? If not, just wait for his orders. Otherwise, hospitals are more abundant than military bases, so I'd...

  5. Emory D-ABSN 2021

    kayji replied to JLColton's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When I applied they "automatically considered" us for scholarships. I never heard anything about scholarships and I used the GI Bill, so I wasn't concerned about following up. I don't know for sure...

  6. Emory D-ABSN 2021

    kayji replied to JLColton's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm in a current cohort and also used the GI bill if you have other questions related to that. I think it depends how much eligibility you have remaining for loans, but max for federal loans...

  7. Scared out of my mind about Pre Nursing grades

    kayji replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How does your school decide who gets into the nursing program? Points? Lottery? Wait list? "Holistic"? Each one has pros and cons for students depending on their educational/professional background....

  8. Nursing School Shoes?

    kayji replied to 1224_NS's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think trying the shoes on is probably the best way to find what's comfortable. Here's what I did since it was tough to find the right kind of shoes locally. I used Amazon's "Prime Wardrobe" service...

  9. start an LPN program or wait a year to continue my ADN degree?

    kayji replied to che527's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure it makes much sense to start an LPN program that only finishes a few months earlier. What would you want to accomplish by doing that? Have you considered working (CNA?) while you...

  10. Anxious about my upcoming preceptorship!

    kayji replied to Guss's topic in General Students

    I suppose the answer depends a little on your school and preceptor. For my program, the final preceptorship is meant to help you transition into doing the nurse's job. I'm not sure what you mean by...

  13. Looking for Direct-Entry MSN/DNP programs (from BS to become an NP)

    kayji replied to confuseddog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The American Association of Colleges of Nursing has a searchable list of programs: https://www.aacnnursing.org/Nursing-Education You can filter for "Direct Entry MSN" but you still have to check...

  14. Direct entry MSN worth over $100,000 in debt?

    kayji replied to Hfield12's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you want to be an FNP, why wouldn't you do FNP program instead of a CNL program? Getting the FNP cert later would just cost more and take

  15. RN Refresher Proctored Exam

    kayji replied to Lonnie48's topic in General Students

    We've been using ProctorU in my program. It can be a pain to get it set up, but once you are doing the exam it isn't bad. I think the experience in the exam depends a little bit on what exam software...

  16. Advice Wanted- Accelerated BSN/MSN vs. ADN Cost

    kayji replied to Y'all's topic in General Students

    I think it's a very personal choice, so it's tough to say what everybody else was thinking when they gave you advice, but I'll tell you why I choose an expensive ABSN over the local community college...

  17. Emory University Distance-Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (DABSN) Fall 2020

    kayji replied to Venera's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I applied in mid-May and heard back mid-September, but I believe that is when they released the initial set of decisions (even though they are supposedly rolling). That was for the January cohort....

  18. Emory University Distance-Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (DABSN) Fall 2020

    kayji replied to Venera's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm in the DABSN program now. I put some comments on the program in a different thread: We just finished our first trip to Atlanta for clinicals, which was a great experience as well. Things have...

  19. Emory University D-ABSN Summer 2020

    kayji replied to Jmeflower78's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You may want to ask the admissions office. I doubt anyone here would have enough insight to know the

  20. Active Duty LPN to RN (Online please)

    kayji replied to guest1139103's topic in Online Distance Learning

    @wrigp My comment was meant for the OP - I didn't write the post about Allegany. Sorry for the

  21. Active Duty LPN to RN (Online please)

    kayji replied to guest1139103's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you happen to be at Wright Patt... Sinclair CC has a LPN to RN program ("Advanced Placement Track"). Info available in their nursing student handbook:...

  22. Emory D-ABSN

    kayji replied to Future CNM's topic in School, College Programs

    I believe they also take where you live heavily into consideration, based on whether they think they can find clinical placements in that

  23. AD Navy w/AA degree. BSN next. Advice?

    kayji replied to NavyDom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You probably have lots of data already, but here are a couple things I found helpful in researching nursing programs. This website has a pretty comprehensive list of schools with nursing programs (and...

  24. AD Navy w/AA degree. BSN next. Advice?

    kayji replied to NavyDom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Since you are a couple years from retirement, I would suggest looking into the general prereq classes that are typically required for most nursing programs (e.g. A&P I/II, Microbiology, nutrition,...

  25. Emory University D-ABSN Summer 2020

    kayji replied to Jmeflower78's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Only one cohort has graduated so far (August or September 2019) so there is limited information. The faculty told us that cohort all, except one person, had jobs within a couple months and many had...
