  2. Bringing diseases home to your kids from work?

    chaxanmom replied to abbabask's topic in General Nursing

    My kids are unvaxed, were breastfed, homeschooled until the beginning of last school year and were always perfectly healthy and rarely got anything. They've always been around other kids though. They...

  4. Bringing diseases home to your kids from work?

    chaxanmom replied to abbabask's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, living conditions had nothing to do with it. nope. not at all. infectious disease has no correlation with clean living conditions. no

  5. Bringing diseases home to your kids from work?

    chaxanmom replied to abbabask's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I totally agree with you on the first part. The risk between the two unvax'ed groups is higher which is why the OP is concerned. However, the risk of her child passing things onto others who are...

  6. Bringing diseases home to your kids from work?

    chaxanmom replied to abbabask's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Vaccines do protect against diseases BUT they do have a significant risk. It's up to the parents to read the literature and decide which way they feel is safest for their child. No parent who...

    chaxanmom replied to abbabask's topic in General Nursing

    FYI just because someone is unvaccinated does not make them a disease

  8. INfo for LVN to BSN at indiana state university?

    chaxanmom replied to Kashia's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Depends where you live. I live near DC and it wasn't hard for me at all. Very few of my classmates have hard any problems setting up clinical sites and those that did got it worked out pretty quickly....

    chaxanmom replied to Kashia's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can do them as fast or as slow as you

  10. INfo for LVN to BSN at indiana state university?

    chaxanmom replied to Kashia's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm an ISU student. You don't have to use the TCN study guides unless you fail a challenge exam. Then you need to show documentation that you have the study guide before retaking. Anyway, one thing to...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No offense but there are 500 posts already written telling you about the program from beginning to end. Have you read them

  13. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    chaxanmom replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    We don't have TV but I watched that show online. It was awesome!! Which doc was he???? I got a lot of pre-reqs out of the way while picking away at my degree for 10+ years but never did speech.

  14. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    chaxanmom replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah that would be cool! LPNs don't have to take fundamentals of nursing or intro to nursing and can test out of 4 nursing courses though and it doesn't seem to be the same stuff paramedics would have...

  15. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    chaxanmom replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not sure which program it was that had to close down d/t clinicals. I haven't had any problem finding sites. As a matter of fact, Johns Hopkins is listed as a contracted clinical site so I'm going...

  16. ISU or EC

    chaxanmom replied to saltwaterstat's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There are probably more differences than similarities. With EC you test out of everything. ISU is a program where you do the didactic online and clinicals in person with a preceptor. The didactic is...

    chaxanmom replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    How does the program in Virginia differ from ISU's

  18. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    chaxanmom replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not yet but the distance track is still pretty new. There haven't been states that accepted it and then changed their mind. If the clinical portion is why some states have an issue with EC then it...

  19. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    chaxanmom replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    About 500. I'm not sure if Maryland will accept EC or not. I'm not at all interested in EC so I'm not sure. Everything I've read so far centers around EC not having clinical hours outside of the CPNE...

  20. Excelsior Grads - Do You Think Online Nursing Is In Jeopardy? What State Are You In?

    chaxanmom replied to beginning's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree completely! I hate to compare but I think if EC did the clinical component the way that ISU does they may be more widely accepted. When someone asks about ISU I can say I have all the same...

    chaxanmom replied to EricJRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just did my LAST nursing challenge exam today! Got a 92 on the maternity one (N330)!! All I can tell you guys is do that practice test!!! There were a LOT of questions straight off of the practice...

  23. more bad news once again, lpn-to RN whenever....

    chaxanmom replied to cheer bear's topic in LPN to RN

    Indiana State is not new at all. It's an actual brick and mortar college that's been around for a long time. The distance track is fairly new but it mirrors the on campus program so it's very similar...

  24. Thoughts on The College Network...

    chaxanmom replied to Price 2002's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yep, ISU is awesome. Read the information on their site and the big ol' long thread about ISU first though. Almost everything is answered on there. It's a long read but tons of info so its worth
