    WyndDrivenRain replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    We wore street clothes for psych, scrubs for Maternity, scrubs for Peds, and scrubs for Advanced Med/Surg which was our last rotation before we graduated. For everything else the regular school...

    who else is in Chamberlain RN-BSN program currently

    WyndDrivenRain replied to sunzzi's topic in Chamberlain College

    I would try to find the books used. Soc 351 uses an E-book, so does Algebra and Stats. Transitions just uses the APA book, or at least that is all they used last year when I took the class. I am sure...

    How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    WyndDrivenRain replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I'm in an MSN program for FNP and right now with just two classes, theory and advanced patho I easily study a solid 7-8 hours a day, 6 days a week. I study 4-5 hours on Sundays. No joke. It has become...

    WyndDrivenRain replied to Maladroit's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Online education questions

    WyndDrivenRain replied to roseynurse345's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I attended Chamberlain for my RN-BSN and I had no problems getting letters of recommendation from instructors. In fact, they even overnighted the letters via fed ex (I paid for the envelopes) to my...

    MSN in what???

    WyndDrivenRain replied to nursejoy23's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I have chosen the FNP route. I feel it will offer me the widest range of options and in a changing economic environment, I want as many options as possible. I plan to add a post master's for family...

    Chamberlain College of Nursing

    WyndDrivenRain replied to Dachsielover's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No. I had to take College Algebra, Stats, Econ and the Soc class. I had to take 32 credits I believe. Honestly I don't even remember how many I just took the next classes they told I needed. I ended...

    University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

    WyndDrivenRain replied to marilynmom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No, I have not applied anywhere yet. The more my spouse and I talk about it the more I want to go to USA. I just don't know how competitive it is to get into. I'd really like to get in for the spring....

    Chamberlain Students/Graduates: Advice Re Which Classes...

    WyndDrivenRain replied to firefox828's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would absolutely go to through their MSN program if I wasn't going the MSN-NP route. I wish they had an online program. I so enjoyed their RN to BSN program. Sue,

    University of South Alabama Family Psych NP program?

    WyndDrivenRain replied to marilynmom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't know. It concerns me too. I'm going to apply to Rush, UAB, and the University of North Dakota for Fall 2011 just in case. I'm still considering applying to St. Joseph's College of Maine's FNP...

    Is having a ADN useless these days?

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

    I agree. I have learned so much in my RN-BSN program. I knew very little about evidenced-based practice, or how to research, or how to implement evidence-based changes in practice or why any of that...

    Proper salutation for a NP?

    WyndDrivenRain replied to heatherhammy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm glad you mentioned this because I also have a psych-nursing background and all of the clinicians I worked with who held doctorates, were called "Dr. ABC" in the Hospital, on the units and with the...

    RN to BSN online...

    WyndDrivenRain replied to renee1126's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm going to vote for Chamberlain as well. I'm about to graduate from there. It has taken me just 11 months and I could have done it even faster but slowed down at the end. One of things I have seen...

    APA format citation help?

    WyndDrivenRain replied to KMRNOCN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would use the last editorial date also. APA can be tough. Once you get used to using it, it will get easier. I feel like I can do it in my sleep now. Sue,
