    chaxanmom replied to tofu_addict's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh!! I didn't like snow to begin with but now its really a hate-hate relationship.

  3. NCLEX got canceled Help!

    chaxanmom replied to tofu_addict's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good thinking! I'm in Maryland, the land of multiple blizzards in a week, but I'll check out the DC location if they cancel me. The federal government shut down due to the snow so I'm not so sure it...

  4. ISU FAQ thread

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can take the Excelsior test for it. That's what I did. I have the study guide still if you are interested. It has lots of highlighting and I did the practice tests

  5. 75 questions!! alright anyone know what it's like to fail in 75 Questions?????

    chaxanmom replied to plainjanie77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How did you feel about the questions themselves? The Kaplan book says with 75 questions you were either way above or way below passing level. Were they knowledge-based questions or analysis type...

  6. NCLEX got canceled Help!

    chaxanmom replied to tofu_addict's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok, got off the phone with them again and this guy found me a date this coming Friday! Yay!!!! I seriously wanted to jump through the phone and give him a big wet sloppy kiss.

  7. NCLEX got canceled Help!

    chaxanmom replied to tofu_addict's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've been on and off the phone with them all day. Honestly, its a bit of a pain in the butt so I hope you don't get canceled. They said they would have a rep call me within 24 hours but then I just...

  8. NCLEX got canceled Help!

    chaxanmom replied to tofu_addict's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OMGosh you guys are freaking me out. I'm scheduled to take it on Monday and if they are closed and I have to reschedule I will lose my start date for work and maybe my position! Thank God I have...

  9. ISU FAQ thread

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did the PE class online. It's a no brainer. You have these power points to do each week and take a quiz on and then you have to do projects like record your activity and intake for 2 days, etc....

  10. If Nurses were paid $8.50 per hr, would you or would you not

    chaxanmom replied to RNnbakes's topic in General Nursing

    There's no way I could even if I were willing. I have children and a military husband (ie. can't rely on him for sharing in childcare d/t his schedule) and I pay my sitter $10-12 an hour. It would...

  11. Am I being snotty?

    chaxanmom replied to JezzysRN09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would pay to have it put on. We worked our tails off for our BSNs and your ID should show it. I think it's very appropriate if your hospital has degrees on

  12. Online NP

    chaxanmom replied to truffles111's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Drexel doesn't require experience but they say it makes your application more

  13. Do not use college network

    chaxanmom replied to tinkerbell1963's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I used TCN and I'm not a fan but I agree with Caliotter. No one stole a thing from you. You signed a contract and they are well within their rights to expect you to hold up your end of the contract....

  14. LPN to BSN @ Indiana State U...here is the info i got!!!

    chaxanmom replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Indiana State University

    Do you already know where you are doing clinicals? One of my classmates was from Chicago and never did find a clinical site. He ended up going to Terre Haute and did clinicals with the on campus...

  15. Oh, you rode your high horse to work today

    chaxanmom replied to fallrisk2008's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital has a solution to that...everyone works rotating day/night

  16. ISU FAQ thread

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just read them, took the practice test and then the challenge exam. They aren't bad at all in difficulty. The peds one was a bear but I'm terrible at developmental stuff. The rest are ok. The exam...

  17. LPN to BSN @ Indiana State U...here is the info i got!!!

    chaxanmom replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Indiana State University

    Health assessment is no problem. Fairly easy until you get to that videotaped head-to-toe. Scary (for me anyway, I hate cameras) but she grades really easy on it so you'll be ok. Transitions is easy...

  18. LPN toRN online

    chaxanmom replied to maheekappus's topic in LPN to RN

    I did the online LPN-BSN through Indiana State and just graduated. Awesome program. I just got offered a job at Johns Hopkins

  19. RN to MD, has anyone done this?

    chaxanmom replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    It's different if you have a GED because you were homeschooled. Many colleges look very favorably on homeschoolers. That being said, if you can do an accredited umbrella program I would. You work too...

  20. Indiana State University Semester Schedule

    chaxanmom replied to NurseCubanitaRN2b's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ok, why not just come up with a schedule that fits *your* needs and the classes *you* still need? That certainly seems like the best way to decide what to schedule when. Also, ISU does have academic...

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

    chaxanmom replied to Kashia's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not sure about that because a couple of things have changed. When I started you had to be in the nursing program before you could take CSM tests. Now I believe the rule is that you have to complete...

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

    chaxanmom replied to Kashia's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I still had a PE course and a speech course that I hadn't taken for my pre-reqs yet so I did those. Just make sure you have all your pre-reqs done and it will be easier to get the nursing stuff done...

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

    chaxanmom replied to Kashia's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I finished phase III in 4 semesters. Two of those semesters I only took 2 nursing courses because I still had a couple pre-reqs to do. I think 18-24 months is very

  24. What is the best RN to BSN online school?

    chaxanmom replied to lecavalier4's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just graduated from the LPN-BSN program at Indiana State and I second Tammy. I went to commencement and pinning last weekend as well as a dinner at the home of one of my professors. I met several...

  25. Warning about The College Network and your personal information

    chaxanmom posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow. Just wow. I just got a phone call from The College Network regarding my posts here at allnurses.com. Somehow they connected my name with my postings. I have no idea how they did that but I would...
