  1. How many of you attended an actual university ADN program?

    LaborNurse1 replied to sockmonkey70's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was a little confused about that myself. I have an ADN from a community college, then went to an RN to BS program. I have to give props to my ADN program for the excellent clinical preparation it...

    Very good

  3. Part-time Nursing School Options Help!

    LaborNurse1 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think that many school would agree with you about forgoing waiting lists, etc but given the number of applicants and faculty shortages that is just the way it has to be for

  4. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    LaborNurse1 replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. What RN has all of their patients assessed, bathed, dressed, etc by 8AM? Perhaps the reason for her wanting this is to make the students prioritize, but 8AM is very unreasonable. Many pts...

  5. Part-time Nursing School Options Help!

    LaborNurse1 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I wouldn't waste my time with the LPN route. Go straight for the RN route. I'm not sure where you live, but Middlesex CC has a PT program that is excellent, and I believe UMass has PT options as...

  6. Boston Medical Center??

    LaborNurse1 replied to Shopgirl1's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    BMC is union, which is why there salary is competitive. They also offer very affordable health benefits. The down side is that the union environment can set up negative atmospheres in certain...

  7. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    LaborNurse1 replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing instructor and am surprised that she was nit picking about the things she did. As far as her expectations regarding when patient care was to be done, was this outlined prior to the start...

  8. oSU Midwife to Be!

    LaborNurse1 replied to MUOStudentNurse's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Congrats! It's very exciting. I don't know anything about that program but I am sure it is excellent. I'm in my first year in a CNM/WHNP program and love it. And hate it! No, just kidding, it's...

  9. Don't forget the BS

    LaborNurse1 replied to LaborNurse1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree. I wasn't implying otherwise. And here is the program I graduated from giving me the BS degree with a major in nursing. If you go to UMass Lowell's website you will see that a BSN is not...

  10. Don't forget the BS

    LaborNurse1 replied to LaborNurse1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Julia, they really are different. The nursing courses are similar, but those who attend the BS program have more pre req's to do in history, humanities, literature, etc than the BSN programs do. Not...

  11. Don't forget the BS

    LaborNurse1 replied to LaborNurse1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I guess the frustration lies in people sticking a title behind my name that is not entirely correct. Perhaps I am getting stuck in details, but for what ever reason I prefer to have it correct. Here...

  12. What do I do?? Confused Newbie needs answers

    LaborNurse1 replied to Rtkam's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You could go the LPN route to make some money while going to school or waiting to get in, but don't stop there! If I were you, apply to all of the local nursing schools, 2 and 4 year programs. If you...
