  1. How long for NCLEX results?

    MSADN replied to BeachyRNn08's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck. When you leave the building, you will probably be convinced that you failed. I was. It took two business days for the MSBON to post my results, so you might get them Friday night or...

    MSADN replied to BeachyRNn08's topic in General Nursing

    I sat for NCLEX 8:00 on Friday, June 20. Results hit the MSBON website at 11:30 pm Monday, June 23. Passed at 75

  3. Any help with financial aid?

    MSADN replied to KimStoops's topic in General Nursing

    Ms. Kim, you will probably not receive a federal Pell grant in the first year of the program, due to the fact that the Feds use your income tax return from the previous year to determine eligibility....

  4. Why are Hinds CC Nursing Students Failing?

    MSADN replied to care4u2010's topic in General Nursing

    *Long Post. Sorry* All nursing schools have strengths and weaknesses. Hinds is really no different. Yes, there has been a lot of press in the last year about Hinds and their failure rates, but overall...

  5. Holmes CC ADN Program - Ridgeland

    MSADN replied to 2008rn2be's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the night and weekend program is active anymore, especially since we now have one of the major teachers of that program teaching us in 4th

  6. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    MSADN replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    David, I want to add my thanks for the info you give and the passion you show in your posts. I follow your posts here and in the PA forum, so I feel I've grown to "know" your online persona....

  7. Incompetent nurses

    MSADN replied to medicrnguy's topic in General Nursing

    If I go back to the time I was working as an REMT-B in an ER, I could probably document 3 instances of Paramedic incompetence. Of course, I can document many more than three cases where I would have...

    The University of Southern Mississippi does not require or award a BSN in their RN-MSN program. The following directly quoted from the site (http://www.usm.edu/nursing/ . Click on Masters of Science...

  10. Advice plz! Holmes or Hinds?(RN)

    MSADN replied to mermaidqueen's topic in General Nursing

    Um. I'm prejudiced. I'm finishing up the second semester at Holmes in Ridgeland. Nursing school takes a large commitment of time and a dedication you may have never experienced. You gotta really want...

    MSADN replied to ms_precious07's topic in General Nursing

    Four instructors per year. That is, four Freshman instructors and four instructors for the Sophomore year. We had around 60 students start in August. (One more day of clinicals this semester. Just...

  12. Nurses: Failure rate of courses perplexing - Jackson Clarion Ledger

    MSADN replied to Nursing News's topic in General Nursing

    The attrition rate in nursing school is high. Losing 50% of the entering freshman class over a two year process may not be that unusual. What makes the Hinds story so different is that over 50% of a...

    MSADN replied to ms_precious07's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in second semester at Ridgeland. Last year, I received my letter in May. Patience may be a good thing, but I was just like you guys in April last year. I'd even convinced myself that I didn't get...

    MSADN replied to ms_precious07's topic in General Nursing

    I do know that Holmes uses a points system for admissions. The fact you will have a bachelors will help. Good

  15. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    MSADN replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Still in my ADN program. I had 25 hours of college credit when I started. Through CLEP and extra classes, I will have the prereqs done to enter directly into a RN-BSN program after I graduate the ADN...

  16. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    MSADN replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    When I go through the RN to BSN program, I will need to take only one course with a clinical component. The reason for this is the program I have chosen credits ALL of my ADN nursing courses as UPPER...

  17. Using our judgement

    MSADN replied to Suzy_CSI's topic in Pain Management

    FIrst of all, Suzy CSI, you will not be medicating these patients without an order from an MD or other primary provider. Pain is a subjective measure even with the pain scale. Is it your job as a...

  18. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    MSADN replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Getting the RN was the first and only thing on my mind when I decided to apply to the local community college. When I get out and pass NCLEX-RN, I will work in a field in which I always wanted to...

  19. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    MSADN replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    (satirical comment) Stop beating each other up? This is nursing. We eat our young with eggs and grits (sorry from the South) and then we BBQ our old-fashioned nurses for dinner. We eat a little...

  20. higher pay for BSN grads?

    MSADN replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    ADN program in Mississippi -- Just under 600 clinical hours, 42 semester hours of Nursing courses. When I go for my BSN at UMC, I'll need 30 hours of Nursing courses. Only one course will have a...

  21. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    MSADN replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Part of the choice to take an ADN over a BSN many times has to do with opportunity, location, and financial considerations. Besides, there are plenty of RN to BSN (to MSN, even) programs for...

  22. A Different Approach to the ADN vs. BSN Debate

    MSADN replied to Sheri257's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Most of my ADN classmates already had a four year degree in another field before they came to nursing. I think as many as 10 had Masters level degrees. That's pretty well educated I'd say. A 19 y/o...

  24. Homes ADN info
