Ok, I am at the end of my 3rd semester & have to submit a 4th semester math test & pass it before the end of this semester (which means I only have a couple of weeks to do so). This is the hardest one for me, I don't have a clue how to do it ...

I want to do the ADN to MSN online program with Walden University, but how do I know if they are accepted/accredited for California? I've heard of some people doing their schooling only to find that their degree isn't worth anything.........is this ...

yes, that makes a lot of sense, thank you so much!!

thanks so much!!

I've been there, couldn't find any info......I've even asked lots of questions & gotten no replies.......I'll try again though......

they never call me back...........

then how do I know which ones are schools & which are not??

Then why do I hear that the college network's degrees are not recognized in the state of California???

that link doesn't work for me.........I'm wondering what a 'magnet hospital' is??????

they used to, that's why I know people who have done the program, I'm already an RN, not looking into it, just answering the question here......

I have a couple of friends there who work in L&D & they love it!!! I haven't heard good things about the med-surg or tele floors though.......don't know much about the ER either. I have another friend who works in the GI lab & she is ver...

As a kaiser patient in the past I hated kaiser, I did not receive proper care from them & this consisted of 4 different locations. As a student nurse I did a rotation in Kaiser Fontana & what I saw the majority of the time was that money was ...

My friends who did it said you pay a lot for books & for each & every test & the clinical too. They said it was very expensive, but to me $6K is pricey, I paid less than $2K for my RN. The weekend clinical at the end is the 'nerve wracki...

That's very interesting. I just saw this med for the first time ever yesterday, one of the docs had prescribed it & none of us nurses knew what it was so I looked it up on my PDA.

Digoxin slows the heartrate, so you don't want it less than 60 to start, because then it would end up less than 60, not a good idea......

I just wanted to thank everyone for the great info in this thread.

I know several LVNs who did it. It's very pricey & the clinical exam is extremely nerve wracking. I believe it's no longer accepted by the BRN in California (where I live) If you already have your skills down (like the LVNs I know) then it's ok t...

ADN=associate degree in nursing BSN=bachellors of science in nursing MSN=masters of science in nursing and there's also diploma nurses that don't have any degree and there's also doctorate degrees, though I've never seen a nurse who has one.

Thanks so much, I am always afraid & hesitant to ask, but I do want to understand & learn more. I think I will start giving that a try. It's good to know that doctor's like to see that instead of being irritated by it as I suspected they wo...

absolutely any nurse has the potential to possibly be unsafe, that is a bunch of BS, please don't take it personal & don't give up on nursing, so sorry that happened to you.

Thanks again, more great info!!

no, for med-surg it's 6:1, tele is 5:1, some places it's even 4:1.

Don't know anything about the hospital itself, but Anaheim is a very large city, some parts are very nice, some are very bad, & a lot is in between.

Does anyone know if Walden University (online MSN program) is accepted in CA?????

actually I am curious to know if there are any clinics/urgent cares that offer 12 hour shifts??
