I think it is near to impossible to get done in 6 mths. However, you probably will have to take max class load. She probably met all prereqs so she just did the last nursing courses to get thru it.

OMG is it hard to get a job after being out. Even if you do some travel or pool do it. The refresher courses are good but getting back to clinical is definitely a challenge if you have been out they want recent 1 yr experience. You may have to take ...

Ok you nursing students God love ya. Please, please I don't ever want to hear I went ahead and did it anyway because I already started. Is that a good rationale to kill your patient. Bubbles bubbles bubbles. Of course you should always make sure pu...

I am glad this is working but remember that experience on the floor is what is a learning curve you can't get anywhere. I am in CM myself and it can be extremely grueling. You usually go to 3 to 7 facilities a day on the phone absolutely constantly ...

I don't know how much people know about the online programs but there is the CCNE, and NLNAC accreditations. If the school has those or is dual accredited great. I would find out from your states board which or both are needed to practice there. Cham...

To Newbies, First if I was going to pick two risks I would pick two that go together. That way you have your main risk and then the sub risk. Falls are huge. A risk where it does not encompass the whole world might be better. Like risk for infectio...

Hey Texas nurses have you done the RN to BSN ONLINE? I really need help deciding which one is better. Can you help. I want to get my MSN NP after. Guidance would be so wonderful.

Don't fret HCA is a awesome organization. If there has been turnover look at it like a good thing they got rid of the bad attitudes and call ins. New management also causes the old staff to be a litlle upity at times. Just be a litlte quiet and not t...
