    WyndDrivenRain replied to mycatmax's topic in General Nursing

    Chamberlain College which classes to take

    WyndDrivenRain replied to Hotlando's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Information systems for healthcare was a tougher class but it sets you up nicely for Evidenced based practice which I found to be a heavy class too. There is quite a bit of work in evidenced based...

    Chamberlain College which classes to take

    WyndDrivenRain replied to Hotlando's topic in Online Distance Learning

    2 yr ADN versus MSN

    WyndDrivenRain replied to Womanonajourney1983's topic in General Students

    Skip the ADN and go right to the Masters direct entry, in fact have you considered the psychiatric nurse practitioner path? With an MSW it might be right up your alley. You can do the DNP or whichever...

    WyndDrivenRain replied to sunzzi's topic in Chamberlain College

    I'm taking collaborative and evidenced based practice right now and I'd say take it with collaborative vs economics. So far the collaborative class has not been bad at all. Sue,

    The last hospital I worked in was ALL orders every night, it was a royal pain, but we caught stuff all the time. I feel your pain. Sue,

    WyndDrivenRain replied to Lunah's topic in Online Distance Learning

    WyndDrivenRain replied to sunzzi's topic in Chamberlain College
