Thanks, I appreciate it. I tend to learn better online since I'm not distracted like I am in the class room. I'll do some more of my own research and see what else I find. I'm fine with a brick and mortar school but would prefer my classes online just because I can do things on my own schedule for the most part and I fee I learn better that way. I'm not looking for an easy way out that way I thought I'd ask here for people with experience. There are plenty of nurses who aren't good that went to great schools in person and vice versa.

I ment a school that offers an online program, I don't have to go constantly travel to. I don't want to have to drive halfway across the country every semester. Most the nurses at the hospitals I've worked for have online ADN and BSN and they're all fine, they went on campus occasionally for stuff but not all the time. All I'm asking if anyone has any experience with an online program such as South or like Baylor, Frontier, Georgetown; are all mainly online you just go once or twice for a 2-3 day intensive and then do your clinical, All that I 'm asking is for thought sin some of these programs?

I've looked on some of the student boards but they don't appear that active, so just curious does anyone have any recommendations for an online FNP program? The only thing in my state is South University, which I've heard mixed things about. I'd like a primarily online program, I don't mind if I have to go to the campus once or twice for an intensive but don't want to have to constantly travel, the more online the better.

Our unit is not majorly effected by cv19 patients but it is an area where exposure is likely we are close with our patients and many can end up intubated quickly. I feel our staff isn't really taking it seriously basic mask and that's really it, nurses are all out traveling not wearing mask not social distancing and such(which is fine most are young and healthy and that is their choice). On the unit PRN employees are first to float no matter what and the main charge nurses(management either, they will try to accommodate but its not guaranteed) do not care if your immunocompromised or not, I've been in several situations where I've had issues and I've been told well this is what you signed up for. Which I understand there are always risk, I just feel at this time it is probably best to remain home for myself and my family and not take the gamble as there is so much uncertainty with this virus. Thank you to everyone for your advice.

Hello Everyone, I am new here as a member but have lurked in the shadows for sometime. I have a question to ask you guys. I have been an RN for 5 years at the same job, which I enjoy for the most it has its quirks as everywhere does. I am currently a PRN employee, most off your staff has been on furlough due to CV-19. This week we have been asked to return asap, without any warning or planning basically. I am immunocompromised with several different conditions and have small kids, our numbers are rapidly climbing here and our state continues to open, many just believe the virus is fake. I am at a point where I can remain home if I would like(financially), but I also do not know if I want to formally resign.I was thinking of staying home and looking for another PRN position in a new area that allows for more growth and is closer to home, while also trying to start NP school in the Winter/Spring. Would you risk your health to go back to a job with many uncertainties ( floating to untrained floors, second furlough, closing ares within, and so on.), just too not have a gap in resume? I am very torn on what to do based on my health and my child, but I really need to make up my mind ASAP. Thank you all!
