  1. University of Rio Grande

    mjm1979 replied to tainted1972's topic in LPN to RN

    Hey Farmgirl, Are you attending Rio Grande? Classroom or online? Don't most ADN programs have an exit exam? We took the ATI in my PN program. I looked in Sinclair's catalog and didn't see...

    mjm1979 replied to acelawler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am considering Excelsior's program... but the thing that might just hold me back is the CPNE. Just thinking of it scares me to death. I'd like to know what happens when they fail you. If you mess...

    mjm1979 replied to babblingbrook's topic in Ohio Nursing

    My sister said she would try to look at the board tomorrow as she's very busy today. I saw a posting for an RN position at Wright Patt and there was a pretty big salary range. So with experience and...

    mjm1979 replied to babblingbrook's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm thinking it's more like $21 an hour. I don't remember for sure. My nursing school classes were at the VA and we talked to some nurses there and I remember that RN salaries were low. Now this...

    mjm1979 replied to babblingbrook's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Wright Patt frequently has openings for RNs posted in the paper. From what I understand it's not incredibly difficult to get on there. Here is the number for the VAs Nurse Recruiter (937) 268-6511...

    mjm1979 replied to mjm1979's topic in Ohio Nursing

    mjm1979 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing
