I'm considering taking Rio Grande's online PN-RN program next fall. I will be required to take the NLN Nursing Mobility Profile 1 Test for acceptance into the program. I understand that this test includes topics such as Chemistry and Physics. I've...

I have a question... I'm a fairly new nurse, who did not work as an aide. I've worked a couple of years in LTC and am in the process of starting some PRN hospice agency work. I have never done post mortem care or have never seen it done. I basica...

Thanks so much!

Let me know how the test is after you take it, if you don't mind. I'm guessing it's a test similar to the NCLEX. There are several sections of the HESI and from what I understand the school picks the sections to give. So, I wanted to know if they ...

CaringLPN, Do you still work for them? I'm considering applying. What facilities has everyone in the Dayton area been sent to? How is the pay?

I plan on starting next year doing the online PN - RN. I hear it is very difficult... Some folks say they have you read 200 - 300 pages in a two week period without and study guides, power points or anything and then some folks have said that you d...

Well, I emailed one of he secretaries again yesterday to see if they have the dates set yet for the HESI and she responded back today. They are now going to be giving the HESI for the August 2011 online program in the spring and summer rather than t...

I've worked for EDS twice. If Electronic Data Systems is the company you're referring to. Back in the early '80s in Illinois. They had a contract with the state of Illinois and we processed Medicare claims. This was still when Perot was at the he...

Angl987, are you going to be taking the campus based class or the online class? I am corresponding with a couple of people who are currently taking the online class and they say it's very difficult, esp. the med/surg class. I was really aggravated...

Jen159, I tried to email you through the website here with my phone number a couple of days ago... did you get the email? Thanks

Jen 159, I'd love some info!! I worked this weekend tho and am exhausted so I'll try to write tomorrow. Did you complete the program? Are you in it now? I'd possibly be interested in buying some books but I don't think we can do that here. You c...

I'm surrently studying for the NLN and Physics is what has me the most worried. I've never taken a Physics class. The Chemistry is all coming back to me, as I've had some basic Chem in middle school, high school and my PN program. One of the thing...

I'll be taking the exam in Nov or possibly Dec and I'm really worried. I've never taken a Physics class in my life. I bought an intro to Physics book along with the NLN study guide and am trying to teach myself physics. I also really have to brush...

Also, do the students have access to study guides or a powerpoint to know what they want you to know for the test? thanks.

OSUFan1, Thanks so much for your reply. So, when you said the transition class wasn't really intense, but boring, is that the sciences transition class as well? When you test at the proctor sites, is that somewhere such as Pearsonvue? do you have...

OSUfan1, can you tell me a little about Rio's online program? I am taking the NLN entrance exam hopefully in Nov or Dec to get into the program next year. I don't personally know anyone who's gone through the program so I don't have much to go by. ...

I agree that your family should seek out Palliative care folks to guide and educate. I work in a LTC facility and work with palliative/hospice care teams frequently and they are wonderful. Does your grandmother have a living will and healthcare pow...

Dysmnesia1, Did you complete Rio's program? I'm thinking about starting there next fall (2011). I'd like any info you can give me. Was it doable with working and family? Were the transition courses difficult?

SShannon, I'm thinking about doing Rio's online program too... I saw the school on the OBN website, but it didn't mention the online program. I'm guessing it's accepted and you don't have trouble getting employment etc. I'm in the Dayton area and...

Did any of you end up doing Rio's online program? I'm thinking of starting next year, the fall of 2011. I've been talking to folks at the school and also to people who are going to start this fall.

I have to take this exam before I start an LPN-RN program next fall and am anxious about it. Mainly because I heard it contains questions on Chemistry and Electricity and a few other things I'm unfamiliar with. I was on Amazon while back looking at...

Do they offer an online PN-RN program? I am considering doing Rio Grande's online program. They are 3 1/2 hours away from me and the clinical sites will be about 1 1/2 away. Columbus is an hour or so away from me. Thanks!

Hey Crickett, what all have you learned about Rio's program? I applied there a few days ago. My transcripts are on their way there. I think I'll wait until next year tho d/t big things happening in my life this year. I'll be ready to start next ...

Thanks!!!

I'm seriously looking into doing Rio Grande's online PN-RN program and am wondering about the lab issue. The online program has no labs - the clinical rotations substitute for labs. I'm an older student who loves my job in LTC and plan on just stay...
