Isn't that what you are doing by your statement, "Did I receive a better education than my online peers? Absolutely! And no one will convince me otherwise."?

Ditto! :yelclap:

A. May 2001, BSN (went straight for the BSN, no ADN) B. Know that you will have to be motivated & disciplined. C. Absolutely. D. SICU, MNICU & CICU float at a level one hospital. Working on NP program.

You would have to find out which courses are required by the board. Years ago when I did the EC program (Regents) in MO, the board required Ethics & A &P with a lab. Wasn't a problem for me as I'd completed a year & a half of an ADN pro...

Ditto on the ANA. I am a Sigma Theta Tau member & am working on my NP. I have known diploma & ADN nurses that knew more than some BSN nurses so I can't in good faith exclude them. I do understand the need for a more "professional" standard...

I'm well aware of that; that just happens to be where he works & he hadn't heard of it.

Very well said. I remember years ago, I contacted the Missouri Nurses Association regarding a nursing program & they said it was not approved, I then asked the State Board of Nursing & they said that it was. One's own BON should be their so...

Where did you hear that Missouri has things in the works? I just called a friend that works in the Investigations dept. at the MO Board of Nursing & he hasn't heard anything about it. He said he'd love to know where the info came from.

Not meaning to hijack the thread but does anyone have an opinion about CMSI? They have a location I want but I don't know anything about them other than what their website says. Thanks.

Excelsior used to have a program that you could send a fee & see what would apply & what you would need for completion & that fee would be appied to your enrollment. Who is the accrediting agency for your program? I doubt that it will ap...

I just saw this but am sending prayers that your recovery will be speedy. Take care & best wishes!

Like the others said, save your money. You will be paying Rue on top of the Excelsior costs. When I did Excelsior's program, they have their own bookstore. Also, you will have access to their site for students that has a special section that stude...

I, too, have a BS in criminal justice & have wondered since I have rheumatoid & psoriatic arthritis if maybe a future career in forensics might be interesting? There is also quite a bit of psych & soc in criminal justice so maybe a psych...

Congratulations!!! That's wonderful & I wish you the best!

Congratulations!!!! :balloons: & no, you're not crazy, go for it.

Also, this may not be true now but the Littmann's used to have a card inside the box for a free engraved name tag if you were a med student. I sent the card in & said I was a nursing student & thought I deserved a free tag also, lol & th...

Dansko Professional. I have both RA & psoriatic arthritis & they help me make it thru the shift. I wear different colors & even wear them on the farm.

She said she was in a diploma program which generally has more clinical time (plus for the fact that I had to make beds in my RN program, I would think it's a basic thing. As you said, it kind of burns you-sounds like sour grapes to me & you have...

I respectfully disagree with you. I think there was a valid reason to go to war, Farenheit 911 has been proven to be full of lies. Our economic status is fine & it goes in cycles to a certain degree anyway - just like when the internet & te...

You will also be assigned to an advisor that you can email or phone to ask questions. Personally, I loved the program but it's not for someone that needs the structure of a regular classroom with schedules & due dates. You are responsible for y...

I never said my way of looking at it must be right; again, some of you are just never happy. Kevin is addressing that the benefits he was promised are still there & not cut & yet others are still argueing that they are. He's not living in a...

Some states used to require labs with some of the science courses so I'd check with your BON.

Good grief, what has President Bush done to be ashamed of? Kevin has repeatedly tried to explain things & no one wants to comprehend, they just want to keep looking at it their way & to keep complaining.

I always enjoy working with student nurses. I've always believed that I'm never thru learning & would want to be treated respectfully if I ask a question or want to watch a new procedure. Besides, the student might be more aware of something go...

Dansko Professionals both at work & at home. I have rheumatoid & psoriatic arthritis & they are the only ones that have worked for me. I do piddle around in some Bass Pro slip-ons but they aren't suitable for work as they are suede.
