I live in the Dallas, TX area and I'm looking for some recommendations on what would be a great nursing school to attend. My ultimate goal is to get my BSN, but I didn't know if it would be better to do an entire 4 yr program somewhere like UTA or to...

El Centro College in Dallas, TX does not have a wait list. That does NOT mean the entrance to the LVN/LPN program isn't competitive, because it is. When I say they don't have a waiting list I mean that the class selection process starts fresh every...

I hope you all can give me a little info. I took my 40 y.o. husband in for a myelogram the other week and when they checked his BP before they released him, his diastolic was 110 (I don't remember the systolic). He shrugged it off saying he always go...

Be sure to submit a cover letter with your resume whether you fax, snail mail, email or apply online!! Recently I spoke with a recruiter from a large hosptial here in the Dallas area that only accepts applications/resumes online and she said that add...

Oh that is just the saddest smiley face ever! {{{{{HUUUUUUGS}}}}}} to you luvmy2angels! :icon_hug: You obviously have the heart and soul of a nurse. It's tough to accept, especially when you are kind and honest yourself, that not everyone will treat...

No pun intended...right...?

The Dallas County Community College District offers A&P online and I've thought about taking it. HOWEVER, one thing that gives me pause is that I'd be missing out on the feedback from my fellow classmates. I'm positive that I could learn someth...

Ok, I just have to share even though my most memorable "thank you" didn't have anything to do directly with the medical field. Who could forget the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building on April 19th, 1995? Certainly not anyone who was living in ...

I have a couple of (what I think are) bone spurs on the heel and ball of my foot. Those little boogers wear a hole straight through padding faster than a speeding bullet and they make wearing the more rigid support shoes like Dansko's impossible. T...

I guess it depends on where you intend on going to school. In the Dallas Community College District, the LPN program does not have prereqs, but instead has "support" courses that they strongly recommend you take before applying to the program. Many o...

Hi everyone! I'm working on my Developmental Psych class for nursing. I have to get at least 5 people 65 or older to answer the following 10 questions and then I "get" to write a paper about the answers and my conclusions about aging. Yippie. You...

I only need TWO more!!! Don't forget you could poll your parents! Thanks everyone!

Just kicking this up for better viewing...

I can vouch for this one. I had my navel pierced about 3 years ago and no matter what I did it never seemed to heal - and I was FANATICAL about care and sanitary measures. It kept leaking a whitish fluid (not pus - white cells??) and stayed tender ...

The University of Phoenix has a BSN course that you can take online. This might work for you - not sure about what it costs though. http://www.universityofphoenix-online.com/Bachelor-Science-Nursing/

I'm a little afraid of that, but am hoping that maybe there are a few retired nurses browsing the boards, or like the previous poster would know someone that would be willing to do it.

That would be GREAT!!! This weekend (or even next weekend) certainly isn't too late! Thanks so much!

What I want to do with nursing is be a Navy nurse and to be a commissioned officer you have to hold a BSN. The Navy will pay for the RN to BSN bridge and I'll be able to work as an RN at a civilian hosptial while I get the BSN.

WOW - great info! Thanks so much!

Thanks for responding Katie - those are just the programs that I'm aware of - I'm sure there are others that I haven't thought of. Where did you end up going if you don't mind my asking? What made you pick that particular program over another?

Thanks for clarifying - I am NOT (I repeat NOT) trying to beat the proverbial dead "is one better than the other" horse. The issue is not whether or not to get a BSN, I just want opinions on the different ways to go about it. I currently do not hold...

What a great website! Thanks so much for sharing!!! I have always had a fear of needles and the previous responses have really given me hope that I can overcome it and be a fabulous nurse! Thanks!

NO DOUBT!! Been reconsidering ever since I read the post about the guy giving the "sweet little aide" a mouthful of surprise!
