  1. Board of Nursing NCLEX application process

    chaxanmom replied to Almost_there09's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Subscribing so I get the replies too. :) Also, one thing I'm confused about is the BON application and the NCLEX application. Which comes first? Do we submit both at the same time or do we need the...

  2. The College Network

    chaxanmom replied to Jartu's topic in Washington Nursing

    If you didn't cancel within those first three days you won't be getting a check back even if you did send the books back. Did you notify them in writing when you cancelled? Do you have documentation...

    chaxanmom replied to caribbeanbeauty's topic in Maryland Nursing

    chaxanmom replied to andreasmom02's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was in exactly your situation and I'm graduating from ISU next month. I was a SAHM for 10 years when I started. I had a 4.0 so I have no idea if its difficult to get in with a lower GPA or whatever....

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

    chaxanmom replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Indiana State University

    Your best bet is going to a teaching hospital. I didn't have a problem finding preceptors but I've heard Chicago and California are more difficult. In both facilities the unit nurse manager just...

  6. LVN instead in distance learning - would love some advice!

    chaxanmom replied to bsn2b2013's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Have you looked into ISU? There's a sticky somewhere that says which states accept them. CA does, no idea about SC

  7. Warning about The College Network and your personal information

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    oh you bet i did! he didn't say much in return but that might be because i kept talking over him and telling him off. he called with the premise that they just wanted to see if there was anything they...

  8. Warning about The College Network and your personal information

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am totally expecting them to show up at my door next! What may appear to be a nice, clean cut group of Mormon missionaries or teenagers selling magazines could actually be TCN reps in disguise!! Be...

  9. Warning about The College Network and your personal information

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, know we know that in addition to being a waste of money, they aren't exactly ethical with your personal information

  10. legit academic programmes?

    chaxanmom replied to parfum's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would recommend using a brick and mortar school that has an online program if you go with online. Many established, reputable schools have online programs. George Washington University and Drexel...

  11. Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Indiana State University

    Unless you have another lab science you're gonna to have to take chemistry with a lab. I haven't done Aleks for any science stuff so I'm not sure how that is. Sorry.

  12. Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Indiana State University

    Patrick, don't do TCN for Algebra. Go to Aleks.com and use their program. It's for homeschoolers, tutoring, and adult learners. It's $20 a month or $99 for 6 months, etc. It is *excellent*!! I did the...

  13. Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Indiana State University

    I would still email her and ask if you show proof of purchase from ebay or another student if that will work. It certainly can't hurt to try. $495 is worth a phone call even if she says no.

  14. Indiana State University BSN Thread for Current Students

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in Indiana State University

    Does it *have* to be purchased through TCN or can you show proof that you bought it elsewhere? Some of us that are about to graduate are discussing some of our issues with ISU and one of our...

  15. diff b/t johns hopkins hospital and johns hopkins bayview & ummc

    chaxanmom replied to NYRN05's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm not sure when you interviewed but that wasn't my experience. Their pay is in the top 10% for the state. No one ever said "its just an honor for you to work here!" That sounds pretty pretentious to...

  16. Baltimore hospitals w/tuition reimbursement for RN-BSN/MSN?

    chaxanmom replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hmm, no that's not right. I'm trying to think how she put it. I dug out my paperwork and it does say "predetermined amount of time after coursework is completed" so its not really detailed. I seem to...

  17. Baltimore hospitals w/tuition reimbursement for RN-BSN/MSN?

    chaxanmom replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hopkins pays $10K per year or $15K if you go to JHU. The payback is one year for each course, I believe. I have the info in my interview folder somewhere but wanted to add that they do pay double (or...

  18. English clep/Dante's for Indiana state University HELP!! I'm petrified !!

    chaxanmom replied to Theone40's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ah I see. So if you've written good papers before than maybe it's just the impromptu aspect that's freaking you out? I was the same way with the public speaking one so I totally get that.

  19. English clep/Dante's for Indiana state University HELP!! I'm petrified !!

    chaxanmom replied to Theone40's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you are that bad at essay writing then perhaps you need to actually *take the class*. There are a LOT of papers to write in the nursing program and the professors are not easy graders. You need to...

  20. ISU, RN-BSN

    chaxanmom replied to esrun00's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The RNs take the same classes as the LPNs, just less of them. Community Health, Nursing Research, Leadership, I think Assessment, and a couple of others. Much of the information on the thread applies...

    chaxanmom replied to NYRN05's topic in Maryland Nursing

    JH main campus uses the PACE system for most positions so the overtime for holidays and your regular pay are all averaged in so your salary will be the same every pay period. You are required to work...

    chaxanmom replied to chaxanmom's topic in General Nursing

    It's a religious issue and I've always worn them...thus I have done and can do anything in a skirt and stay modest including nursing. Also, nurses wore skirts for many many many many years before they...

  23. Q about hospital issue scrub pants

    chaxanmom posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok this is a little off the wall but I'm wondering if hospital issue scrub pants have a side seam. I cannot remember!! I wear skirts and saw directions for turning sweats into skirts and it looks like...
