  1. Do I need a BSN or will a MSN do?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Really? Most of the programs that I have seen you only get your master's. There are many programs that seemed to be designed for people without a bachelor's to MSN and some of them offer both. I do...

  2. What do you use to carry your books around?

    DisneybearRN replied to pandorasbox's topic in General Students

    I never bring my books to class either, and all most all the information I need for clinicals is now on my iphone in the Nursing Central

  3. Any Quincy College students/grads?

    DisneybearRN replied to dtrmnd2sccd's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Wow! I can't believe how prophetic the posts on this thread turned out to be! I just took my final exam in the Quincy College Evening program for 3rd semester and it was brutal! We lost so many...

  4. Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

    DisneybearRN posted a topic in General Students

    I find my Nursing classes so frustrating because we are not allowed to keep our scored test but only look at it briefly. We are not even allowed to make notes to ourselves on the questions that we...

  5. Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in General Students

    There is no excuse because making exams is part of her job. You can reuse questions, just not the same test every semester. How hard is it to mix em up? And use a test bank if you want. My professors...

  6. Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in General Students

    Sorry. Not all questions in all subjects have to be knowledge based or multiple choice. If you had to grade essays, you would be begging to dream up new questions, or use a test bank. I just don't...

  7. Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in General Students

    My biggest problem I guess is the whole nursing school setup. They are teaching for their nursing accreditation, and not the students education. I am in my 3rd semester (pulling a B+) so far, but 22...

  8. Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in General Students

    I still think it is a cop out. Just make up enough questions and make different tests. And for those that complain it is too much work, perhaps teaching isn't your calling. Now with powerpoints and...

  9. Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in General Students

    I have taken my share of multiple choice tests for my undergraduate degree as well as graduate and all of my classes allowed me to keep my tests. Why should Nursing classes be any different than any...

  10. Does your school allow you to keep your tests?

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in General Students

    Well I guess my school is not alone in not letting us have the tests. I think it is crazy considering what I pay for nursing school that they can't just make different test for each class. I don't see...

  11. Is Excelsior College Aproved by Cali4nia?

    DisneybearRN replied to Prado's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks for your fast replies! I am graduating next year from a traditional Associates Degree program, and was looking at EC to further my education and did not want to have any troubles. I have my BA...

  12. Is Excelsior College Aproved by Cali4nia?

    DisneybearRN replied to Prado's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What if you are an associate RN and decide to go to Excelsior for a BA or MA? Will California accept you

  13. Advice Please

    DisneybearRN replied to Suzanne44's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I am thinking of going straight on after graduation. Perhaps Drexal or

  14. Advice Please

    DisneybearRN replied to Suzanne44's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    If you decide to go the nursing route I can recommend Quincy College. I have a bachelor's in psych and needed a part time evening program. There were no evening bachelor's RN programs that I could...

  15. Disturbed Energy Field

    DisneybearRN replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    I am so upset that my new Nursing book explains how to do TT, and earlier tries to stress that rationales should be evidence based. No one has ever demonstrated that we have energy fields. Emily Rosa...

  16. Anyone go to Laboure College?

    DisneybearRN replied to nursingqtpie's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I don't think Simmons undergraduate program is open to men and I can't find anything on their website about a part time undergraduate program. I also need to have clinicals in the afternoon/evening....

  17. Anyone go to Laboure College?

    DisneybearRN replied to nursingqtpie's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Well, I am going to Quincy College's part time program in January 2009. They accepted most of my previous work, so it is going to be a lot cheaper than Laboure. I really was tempted to go to Laboure,...

  18. Anyone go to Laboure College?

    DisneybearRN replied to nursingqtpie's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Well I decided to go to Quincy college instead. They will take most of my credits from my previous degree. I will start the Nursing program a little later than Laboure (January 2009), but I will save...

  19. Quincy College or Laboure..I can't decide!

    DisneybearRN posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Well I learned today that I have been accepted to Laboure College for Nursing. I just don’t know if I should go there or not. According to admissions at the college I can start my actual nursing...

  20. Quincy College or Laboure..I can't decide!

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Well, I think I am leaning to Quincy now. I will get out sooner from Laboure, but Quincy said they will accept the gen eds that I plan to take online at another college. This means I won't really have...

  21. Quincy College or Laboure..I can't decide!

    DisneybearRN replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Wow! Thanks for the wealth of information! I had thought about going the LPN route part-time evening, but when I went to admissions they convinced me that I should just apply in October for the...

  22. Any Quincy College students/grads?

    DisneybearRN replied to dtrmnd2sccd's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Do all the part-time clinicals start at 2:30? I am looking into the program but can probably only swing evenings and

  23. Anyone go to Laboure College?

    DisneybearRN replied to nursingqtpie's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I talked to admissions today, and they pretty much assured me that when you get your gen eds done you will move up the list. I am hoping this happens for you. I am also applying to Quincy College,...

  24. Anyone go to Laboure College?

    DisneybearRN replied to nursingqtpie's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Well, it does sound that she isn't that great a teacher. There is no such thing as a dumb question. If you ask her for help she should either help or point you in the right direction to get it from...

  25. Anyone go to Laboure College?

    DisneybearRN replied to nursingqtpie's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Yikes, that doesn't sound very good. They used to have a very good reputation. I still think it is the one I will end up at, they all have horror stories, but I think I can get started there faster. I...
