Thank you for all of the input, she just came through w. my grades for my final assignments in BBoard, so now I know my final grade. Its important they post our assignment grades (for Blackboard) as soon as they can, or based on the expectation they ...

I've started an email to send my TA, but wanted any input from fellow students. Have you experienced this situation? My TA, who was nice but seemed very hands off, emphasized how important it was to get everything in before Saturday because grades ha...

Asking all students who have been enrolled in the RN to BSN online program and have a DAR, what are the specific number of credits that must be taken as of Fall '12 if you have transfer credits that cover all your pre-reqs and general ed? I start in ...

The residency requirement that is now 30 credits applies to the minimum number of credits a student must complete at OU to gain a BSN. For example, if a new student transfers in and has all of their pre-reqs and gen ed requirements already satisfied ...

Chuckster, Thanks so much for your detailed reply. I have seen many of your posts re: OU when I was searching for an answer to my question and they have helped give many of us insight into the ups and downs of the program. Your answer about the resid...

I received a BS in finance and worked in the industry over a decade before nursing school. If anything, it shows you were given responsibility over financial transactions and accountability.

Hi, This is my first post. I unfortunately was not able to complete a MCCC ADN in Pa. and now am looking at LPN training due to extreme waitlists. Does anyone have experience or info on Princeton Information Center in Glenside, PA. or Eastern Tech in...

I'd have to agree w. anon, a BSN would take alot more work. Nursing clinicals involve on the spot critical thinking and physical and emotional stressors, and the classroom curriculum can be very challenging in a good school because it goes beyond sci...

The thread question posted states "will ACLS/PALS boost resume of new grad?". Say recruiter has two resumes; the basic I'm a new grad template; say they're identical, except one has certs, and the other doesn't, who will the recruiter choose???? Th...

Ive been carrying a used Sony Clie Palm PDA I bought used off of eBay very cheap for the past two years during nursing clinicals. It is an indispensable tool. My school doesn't recommend or encourage PDAs (due to their lack of exposure to technology)...

Hi All, I chose the topic of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome for a term paper for school and have found lots of journal articles, but have to submit 2 complete nursing diagnosis and could not think of 2 medical dx. Grieving r/t loss could be one, but ca...

Pretty sure 10/14 schedule means you work 10 out of 14 days; essentially a five day workweek. The term 10/14 may relate to the pay period, offering a bi-weekly paycheck. They are always advertising RN hires needed at a 60K+ salary, I always wonder i...
