No, it's Nursing Informatics.

Is all the required reading really necessary? It seems to be a bit much for the project. What do you think?

I'm a little late to the party, but I made it . I started on 9/1/11 but was a few days late due to the storms out east, and also due to my own stupidity. I think I'm up and going now. EWB done, beginning NUT1 today. Anyone finish it and/or have any advice? Like most here I'm hoping to finish in 1 semester, fingers crossed. Thanks for any help and I look forward to us all making it through.

I checked a reference book I have and it states for the deltoid IM injection: 0.5-1ml is the usual amount, while maximum is 2ml. You also have to take the size of the person into the equation. For an average sized person I would have done the same as you did.

Northridge Hospital in Northridge CA is $35.55

Northridge does, I work there. Simi and Los Robles do to from what I've heard. I think it's just tough due to the economy and many hospitals not wanting to pay to train a large quantity of new grads.

I work at Northridge Hospital in Northridge CA and make $36.62 days, with 1 yr exp. A friend of mine just got hired at Los Robles Regional Medical Center in Thousand Oaks CA. He said the starting salary for new grad RN is $37/hr for days. I think some of the CA salaries are with overtime and shift differential added. This skews some of the #'s. There are a few places where nurses make a lot, like SF area, but I think most others don't make $100,000 like we keep hearing.

Is this form still around? if so I would be interested in it. Thanks to anyone who is able to help.

Chamberlain looks interesting. You will have your BSN in only 10 months? Thats good. I noticed on their site that its about $7000 per semester. $21000 for the program, roughly?

Thanks for all the info. I passed my boards in Feb and now it seems like every hospital is looking for BSN grads. So now I'm looking for the fastest way to get my BSN. I only have so many packages of Top Ramen left. :)

Yes. Is this one class at a time at your own pace? Can you start whenever you want? I'm looking for a rather fast process, and I'm and able to put the time in. I just dont know what my expectations should be.

Suesquatch RN, Thanks for the reply. How is it structured? I'm really lost on this one.

I did a search for information regarding my questions but really only found posts about their LVN to RN program. I wanted to know what the time table is on the BSN degree. Is this something that can be done in under 1 year if not working and no kids? How many tests are there? Is the program designed to provide you with a study guide, and you really pay to take the test? Thats my understanding so far. What about clinicals? I realize they arent regular clinicals, but I believe you still need to do some community health and management rotations. The California BRN doesnt honor the RN from EC, but has anyone heard anything about the BSN? I contacted them (CBRN) and have yet to hear back. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Dave

Overall 3.2 Nursing 3.77

Ive always put my best section first. Weakest section last.

So your saying all male nurses aren't gay?

Do the BSN. The job market has changed so you need to position yourself to succeed.

Go straight for the BSN. The job market has changed so do what you need to put yourself in a good position.

I waited 1 1/2 years to get in and it sucked to wait. Just consider it part of the necessary process. So do you move up if your not chosen this semester? I would hope so.

LA StudentNurse, What school did you go to in the LA area? I'm in the same area and looking into an RN to BSN program.

Does anyone know where I can find actual nursing articles addressing this issue, that I could use for a research paper? Thanks in advance.
