  1. wanting RN-BSN but previous bachelors

    AnneS replied to joegxrl's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know if its possible either. I have yet to come across a school that offers that sort of program. Probably because the classes needed to complete your BSN are so few its not worth it...

  2. Anyone know how HOAG Newport makes you pay $4000 if you quit??

    AnneS replied to confusedRN2010's topic in California Nursing

    Oh no. You didn't just compare the current troubles in finding employment to slavery..... You need to educate yourself about finders fees etc... Its very common, not only in nursing but in every...

  3. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    AnneS replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the nic says it

  4. VERSANT NG vs. just regular NG

    AnneS replied to violet_violet's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm currently in my 4th week of a Versant program. So far its been fantastic. The first couple of weeks were mostly educational and now we start working on the floor with our preceptors 2/3 of the...

  5. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    AnneS replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    Your attorney is smart. Listen to

  6. First medication error & on new graduate orientation :(

    AnneS replied to gardenia09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you, I was also given that suggestion to print the mar at work today when I asked the lead. I will certainly do that

  7. First medication error & on new graduate orientation :(

    AnneS replied to gardenia09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a new grad on a med surg floor. We have an emar and everything is computerized. I see all the nurses read the mar on the cow, pull their meds, then walk into the pts' room with their brain and...

  8. Honest thoughts on Job Market

    AnneS replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    No offense Dixiecup, but those sort of comments/observations aren't really helpful in the new environment of job searches for new grads and its really frustrating when we have to read such platitudes....

  9. Trying to transfer to another RN program with an undeserved Fail

    AnneS replied to wishingupon's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is very disturbing to me how many potential RN's are trying to slip under the radar with past behavior. In my experience, no one has been unfairly anything in nursing school. Instead, what I...

  10. New Graduate RN in Maryland

    AnneS replied to Luckylefty87's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congratulations Lucky on your new job! You absolutely had the right attitude and that probably had a lot to do with you landing the position. Best of

  11. Question regarding engraving stethoscope

    AnneS replied to Im a Pepper's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had my first inital and last name engraved. It came in very handy, not because it prevented theft, but when I was in nursing school it seemed there were at least 8 other students that had a...

  12. Broke My 6 Week Contract

    AnneS replied to jlbic's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me you would rather sabotage yourself then take care of yourself. You need medication. I suggest you listen to your doctor and the advice on this board and get

  13. Are nursing grads still having a hard time finding jobs?

    AnneS replied to mariposabella's topic in First Year After Licensure

    50% sounds overly optimistic. I am postitive, but in my class that graduated last December, I would estimate that out of 40 students, perhaps 10 of us have found employment as RNs. I am in southern...

  14. THings to get before beginning 1st job as an RN

    AnneS replied to fsv1024's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wasn't this required in nursing school? We were required to purchase a sthethoscope, as well as the scissors, penlight, and a good pair of shoes. Some people had support hose, some didn't. I had...

  15. Associates vs. Bachelors

    AnneS replied to mamacashew's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If this is a first degree, I would get the BSN. Why? Because you will have a better education that exposes you to other courses besides just nursing. A BSN is a bachelors degree and that is very...

  16. New RN who may lose her Med Surg job

    AnneS replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    They already told you what to do. Go to the lab and practice on those skills that you need to work on. What are you waiting

  17. Let's introduce ourselves...

    AnneS replied to pedi-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi, I graduated with an ADN in December 09, took the NCLEX in February and passed with 75 questions. I started looking for work as soon as I received my RN license in early March. I finally was...

  18. Are nursing grads still having a hard time finding jobs?

    AnneS replied to mariposabella's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What other career choice were you considering? I don't think there is any field where you will have an easy time getting a job. If the only reason you want to go into nursing is the money, then no,...

  19. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    AnneS replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    People that already have a bachelors degree in another field for one. Why should anyone have to shell out a lot of serious cash to get a second bachelors degree in ANY field. A bachelors degree...

  20. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    AnneS replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ok, thank you for your replies. I plan on bridging to a MSN and I imagine I will be taking these courses then. I have applied to a hospital that I know is trying to reach magnet status by hiring...

  21. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    AnneS replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think you guys are missing the point. I didn't say I have a bachelors degree in business and want to now apply as an RN. I said I have a bachelors degree in business and an ADN. Big difference....

  22. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    AnneS replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, I realize there are additional courses that a BSN student takes that are not included in the ADN program.But I don't think they could be that much different than the courses any student takes...

  23. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    AnneS replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have a bachelors in business administration and an ADN. I got an ADN because getting a second bachelors degree seems silly to me. I think it amounted to 2 extra classes and about $20,000 more. So...

    AnneS replied to Andrew12's topic in California Nursing

    At your orientation you will be measured for uniforms, take the critical learning tests, given a list of things you will need to purchase, and a list of things youw ill need to have done (background...
