I am enrolled to start classes in May. Their online program is new (RN to BSN) but has all of the appropriate accreditation. They are still developing a BSN to MSN program. I was enrolled in the University of Phoenix Online and loved it, but finan...

Please be careful using APA software, according to teachers and past resources I have used. While I personally never used the software, it was not recommended. Some of the best tools I have are a combination of printed materials from UoP and FHCHS....

All right Tweety! I am very excited for you get started. Things are going ok for me. World Religions started this week and I am getting ready to take the first test, but thought I'd drop in on you first. :) Hey if you are interested, I will sell ...

Tweety, that schedule is of my own doing. Normally Patho and Pharmacology are different semesters, but you have to have Chemistry before you "advance". Since I postponed Chemistry from last summer til now, Patho was pushed ahead as well. So don't ...

Congrats on entering the profession. I recommend this website: http://www.lww.com/browsemediaspec/Book/0,0,0,00.html. Many programs use Lippincott materials. The hospital I work for uses the "Lippincott Manual" as our nursing procedure manual. Bro...

:rotfl: Can I send you a HUGE HUG, a big AMEN and ok a Hell Yeah just for good measure. Actually, some people thing I am some super smart nurse since I did the Excelsior route :wink2: It bothers me that there are people who come to this forum w...

I want to point out that more and more colleges/universities are creating distance learning programs. UoP is also very popular with my business degree colleagues. Goes back to that "gotta work fulltime and have the education" theory. My own person...

This topic is currently being flogged beyond death in multiple threads. I am curious about where you live as well. My education is well respected by colleagues and my employer. I already passed the NCLEX 4 years ago, so the Bachelor's degree I am ...

I will be in Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, and DNRS 485 (Leadership and Management in Nursing) starting the January semester. I hope to hear from you, Tweety and Patrick!

As a fellow Ec (actually Regents) grad, I want to compliment you on this part of your response! You have eloquently and simply stated the facts. Check with your individual BON. Research the program, make sure the program is accredited and please, ...

I think med surg will give anyone beneficial skills needed in all units of nursing. I think it is great when people get internships in certain designations, but the hands on skills of med surg will make you more well rounded. You may not know now w...

OK, I am posting again about my chemistry class, 100% online with FHCHS. I made a "B" on my first test. I attempted this course over the summer and dropped it because I was failing. The program has been revamped, and the presentation and assistanc...

Patrick, I took a few classes with UoP--they did transfer, as electives. Go ahead and get copies of the course descriptions to send your advisor (it helps). Anyway, I personally can't say enough good things about FHCHS. My Chem class is going grea...

I still have my dogeared well used Taber's I bought in 1987 for my LPN program. I keep meaning to buy a new edition, but my old one has never let me down....

I am taking Chemistry at the college level for the first time. I am an LPN (1988) turned RN (Regents College, 2000). I thought getting my Associate Degree would be the end of my goals, but I now have my sight set on an MSN. I already have a great ...

http://www.fhchs.edu. Sorry I do not have a direct link. When I requested info, I was sent a complete listing. You can even request info through http://www.allnursingschools.com/r/?schoolID=198. Thank you for the good wishes!

Yep, I have my book right here...Officially starts Monday. I have an orientation chat tomorrow afternoon. We are using what I found to be a pretty popular text: Chemistry An Introduction to General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry by Karen C. ...

Hi Mona b and all, Yes, there is a statistics requirement "Applied Statistics". After they reviewed my official transcripts I received a calendar with the courses and projected timeframe (semester) I will be taking them. Next semester I will have P...

I accept my obsessiveness and move on! But to be fair, being an "adult" learner is different--failure is not an option. It is different to be paying out of one's own pocket and if you are like me, hubby and everyone else is watching you. I drove m...

I wanted to "bump" this thread because lgflamini said everything I tell fellow nurses about distance education. It is not for everyone, but research the options that best fit your individual needs. And don't do anything without checking with your o...

I am a current student!!!!!!!!!! I was wondering if anyone else on allnurses even knew about this program. I researched it last spring. I had to drop my classes with UOP online due to the cost. I loved UOP's format, classes, etc. but was struggli...

So, what kind of nursing specialty are all of you interested in practicing? I worked in nursing homes for my 12 years as an LPN. I learned alot about assessment and documentation during those years. Nursing homes get such a bad rap for LPNs, becau...

Gee, I am boring. The only paid employment I have ever had is nursing. LPN at age 19, RN (AD) at 31 and now BSN student with my eyes set on MSN. I wonder if I would be any good at anything else?????????

I've been going back and forth between the Weather Channel and CNN. It is so hard to comprehend what our fellow nurses and healthcare workers are experiencing right now. I just saw reports of damage to hospitals and nursing homes. One hospital is ...

I will be 36 in November. I was 19 as an LPN, 30 as an RN (AD), and will be 38 as a BSN. My goal is MSN by age 40. I loved going to nursing school with a diverse age group! :)
