I am signed up for this class in Spring 2013. If you have any information about it, would you please post? Thanks, Aradien

Hi RNbri, I very much enjoyed my time with Kaplan and their RN to BSN program. I would suggest though that if you are thinking about going on to an MSN, that you sign up for the RN to MSN program. They offer an excellent MSN Nurse Educator program. I...

Hi LMLYNN, I paid for my education out of pocket, so I did not need financial aid. But I have not heard any other issues from other people. Aradien

Hi LMLYNN, I don't know if I would qualify since I graduated almost a year ago but a couple of my nursing coworkers just finished theirs and the experience was as good for them as me. One of them has decided that she wants her BSN and will stop. But ...

I am throwing my two cents in as well. As an MSN student, I also practice at the bedside in a hospital, I would report this person immediately. The instructor is committing horizontal violence and should not be tolerated . Bullying is wrong no matte...

Hi Agandhi, The Kaplan RN-BSN program was not too difficult. I am saying that because I work part-time, have an adult child living at home, three dogs, and a husband. I also, took two classes at a time. This was very doable for me. However, I don't k...

We still have those but silenced the alarms. Lots of patients and their families ask about them though.

No, I will not open your splenda, your arms are not broken. You only had a baby and as far as I know having a baby does not break your arms. Too bad making a baby or babies does not hurt as much as delivering one (for both parties involved). You're e...

Someone remembered my birthday and posted it on the unit. No one had ever done that for me, I had worked there for 5 years and last June, someone did. Everyone wished me a happy birthday. :)

I was able to get almost if not all of my classes transferred in. I also graduated with an Associates degree in Nursing. My whole program at Kaplan (2 classes at a time) has taken a year to complete. Aradien

That is wonderful news for you! :) Good luck! Aradien

I have not had any real difficulties with Kaplan. When I say that, I mean that if there were difficulties, they were of the everyday kind. Time management mostly such as getting homework done, papers done, etc. and working at the same time. I am not...

I totally agree with what you are saying. I put a lot of time into this program and I feel extremely comfortable with it. Best of luck! Aradien

If I am the person you are asking, I am still in the program and will be graduating 12/24/13. I think the program is wonderful! I have not had any complaints to speak of and will be going on with KU for my MSN in Nursing Informatics beginning in Janu...

I would look at the University of Pennsylvania. When I was looking a couple of years ago at their FNP program that is what I was told. They would find the clinicals and preceptors. Made a big point of mentioning it several times. BTW, I am not employ...

I will be graduating from this program 12/24/13. I believe this is a great program! I currently hold a 4.0, am a member of STT, and ABK. But, of course you don't know me from Adam's house cat. I like KU so much that I will be going on with them to ge...

I work evening shift, 3p-11p and it is really difficult to do 12 hours. The times that I have done 12s, 11a-11p, I am so exhausted that I feel like I've skipped a day somewhere. But I do know that there are others that do enjoy 12s. More power to you...

Dansko... :)

Is that the same a "knock on wood"?

I use the word "pleasant". Pleasant is nice... It never fails though, that when I bring a school book to read or an article for class that no matter how "pleasant" the floor seems, the bus pulls up to L & D and I know "here they come".

I usually scope this thread...I am currently in the Kaplan University's Online RN to BSN to MSN program and I love it! Aradien

I finally have a really great desk purchased from IKEA. It is a corner unit with a pull out part of the desk (forms an "L" when pulled out). I have two laptops (a MacBook Pro and a MacBook Air, I am a bit of a geek ), a white board where every week I...

I am going to start trying the journalling out. I seem to do better when I write. I just had a truly horrible night last night and I did not know what I would do to blow off the steam until I read what you posted, Ruby. Thanks! Aradien

mistaken entry. please see response below. thanks!

I am truly for your loss....I lost my son in 2010 through suicide, he was 20 years old...please feel the prayers coming to you this day. (((((HUGS)))) Aradien
