Hi, Just wondering if anyone out there is starting at BHSN this fall?? If so, are you signing the contract w/ Bridgeport Hosp? Thanks, Melanie

I use a SONY ICD-P320. I don't think it much matters though...most of them have around the same quality. I bought this one (around $70 I believe) because I could connect it to my laptop, save the lectures on my hard drive, then burn them onto a CD an...

Our first day, we were all scared to death!! The instructors ease you in the first couple days. The Level 1 teachers are really good, esp the Lab instructors. You'll figure out real quick who you can turn to for help. Most of the Senior nursing stude...

Last year the school only had 22 people interested in the accelerated program (they say they "require a B average" to get in, but I know of a few B- students who got in last year)...I think they were afraid that this year's summer enrollment would be...

I started BHSN last Septemeber and I'm in the summer program right now so I'll be graduating in Decemeber. They offered us the contracts the first couple weeks of school...a lot of people signed it, I didn't. I did hear that they were waiting to offe...

Hey guys, I’m in my 1st semester of a RN diploma program. I just can’t seem to do well in clinicals. I can do the 8.5hr lectures, I can study 4-6hrs a day, I can do all the skills in lab, I’ve even learned to survive on 4hrs of sleep a night, but ...

daytonite, thanks for your words and experience!! 21 yrs of nsg experience when i turn 40 sure does sound impressive, lol!! the bp website was great. i can finally see what everyone was talking about when they said "watch it jump." thanks again.--m...

Hey, Yes, I am in my first clinical. We started clinical the very first week of school. This is the first year that my school is putting first semester students on the oncology floor. I'm not sure why. A lot of nurses and students from local nsg ...

Hey everyone, I just want to say a BIG thanks to everyone who replied to my post . I am going to stick it out and do my best. But it really comes down to whether I pass clinical or not if I will stay in the program. I *think* I've got the BP thin...

4.0 in pre and co-reqs when accepted (only have child psych left to take) No health care/volunteer work at all Scored in the top 3% of the nation for the TEAS test There's 142 of us this year, I know some people that got in on 3.0s w/ a lot of previ...

Kim, It depends on where you live and the hospitals around you whether you can work in L&D. I know around here some nurses (LPNs and very experienced PCTs) manage to get into L&D. However, the problem is around here a lot of hospitals are t...

Meghan, You weren't insulting. I think the majority of us understood what you meant. As for the deal, I think it's pretty good. I am starting a hospital program in 9 days and we were offered the same kind of deal. The hospital would pay all our ...

Fall 2007 is still a year away. Fall 2006 has either started or will start soon.

I can't wait... !! LOL. I don't know if I'm more excited or terrified. I've heard some many horror stories about my school being so hard. Then again, I heard the same stories about A&P and I didn't think it was that bad. A lot of time and wor...

What is this "don't crack a book" thing you speak of? LOL!! My RN program has about 50 pages of reading and 2 huge math packets that have to be done BEFORE school even starts!! I can't wait to see how much work we have IN the program!! LOL. Oh well....

Lana, I thought it was by far the easiest test. Study the review questions at the end...probably 7 or 8 of them came from there on my exam. I thought most of it was more general knowledge stuff, like just "skim the chapter" instead of read every s...

Hey girls, How's everyone doing? I finished unit 8 last night. I think (assuming I get 30/30 on discussion and homework) that I will end with a 94% :) . Better than A&PI...ended that w/ a B (but then again only 3 people passed out of 20 so I g...

Dave, I took A&PII w/ Edukan. The Director of my nursing school said that it doesn't matter where the classes were taken as long as the school was accredited. Since all of the schools w/ Edukan are accredited, I had no problem. Mel

Sheri Ann, I thought that was the hardest test yet. I somehow got an 84, which was a lot lower than I thought. I studied more for this unit because it seemed more complex to me and I did worse than I usually do. Oh well. I don't understand how ...

Lana, Oh boy, looks like that crazy girl in the class who didn't like your "big words" wrote a nice ear-ful back to you!!! She just wants to let you know that she'll "do FINE" by herself. LOL, looks like we stirred up some trouble by using big word...

Hey Lana, Oh yeah...I read that post before I came to this website. The other post she was referring to was mine (you and I had the only posts up at that point). I wrote a nice little message back to her comment under your original post. Maybe I'...

Hey girls, My schedule has been a little crazy also w/ school, work, and all the silly little things I have to do before RN school starts in Sept. Right now I have a 96 average, but that will certainly go down. I thought I did really well on the u...

To make a long story short, I'm starting RN school this fall w/ an ultimate goal of being a NP. I've changed majors a few times so I'm less than a year away from getting my BS in Management. So here's my question...would it be better for me to for...

sunnyjohn, I think I will try to take the BS Mangement courses while in the diploma program. I have a 3.8 GPA and I don't feel that I've had to work all that hard to get good grades. I'm completing A&PII right now and after that I only have 1 ...

I agree w/ you, Lana. The stuff that I *think* is important isn't on the test, and the stuff that I just pass my eyes over is on there. I reread the end of chapter summaries 10 minutes before I log into the exam, seems to help me alittle. I wish w...
