i'm sorry if i've offended anyone... but i stand by my comments ..please read this post it's here: bsn only hiring in hospitals mar 18, 2011 02:37 am written by nrskarenrn staff | 92 comments

Thank you ... did you do fulltime school or Online??

I really think all future nurses should seriously consider being BSN RN's as this is becoming the basic degree to get a job especially in this economy...

Hi I'm seriously considering doing my MSN in Midwifery..have lots of bedside L&D experience...I would like to know from certified midwives how it is post MSN... are you able to practice or is it difficult to get a job as opposed to say ..being a NP or CRNA..

I taught OB and med surg .... based on that experience.. i would strongly recommend go for either Medsurg or ED or ICU ... in my opinion any field you get into ...it will take atleast a couple of years to go forward... the experience you get will only help you as a OB nurse as it will give you a strong foundation both skill wise as well as from the knowledge point of view..Obstetrical patients can have a lot of co-morbidities where a good practical bedside medsurg experience will help you be a much better OB nurse... whatever you choose wish you the best of luck in whatever you do!!

Hi I too was looking for a refresher in nyc and didnt find any but... rutgers, adelphi molloy all have good refresher courses .. for folks who cannot travel try msu.com... its a online refresher..

Hi NiNi, Yes You can use it with Vista ...I did.

Hi , Haave you tried online refresher courses? I too have been looking for RN refresher courses and msu.com was one of them... both theory and practicals are offered..

Hi I would suggest do the Suzanne plan. It is in a sticky at the top of the forum...Meanwhile I would like to share what I did.... first I did Kaplan... then did the Suzanne plan , also while studying i would browse on the internet for answers to queries i had ... the search box on the top of this page was another important tool... I would type in the topic and search...also ... check out icufaqs.com...believe me i answered some questions on the NCLEX RN becoz I had read most of the topics on that website!!! Answering questions is another tool... All the best to you!!! :)

HEYYYYY...OR2CA, MAVE, MOMENTS AND ALL aPRIL TESTTAKERS!!!!! :ancong!::nmbrn::anpom::grad::smiley_aa.....OMG!!!SOOOOOOOOO HAPPY FOR ALL YOU GUYS!!!

Hi OR2CA, will definitely pray for you...try to relax...and take breaks from studying ..easier said then done i know..take your time with the questions...and pay attention to rationales to any question you miss when studying...Goodluck!!...I do believe you are prepared!...just don't let the stress and anxiety to get to you!!

:ancong!: Genny!!

hi OR2CA, Two weeks before my test I did about 100 questions every morning,and after that made a list of commonly tested topics and also my weak points and re read those...I must confess though that I am used to last minute reading....so I did do a kind of overall content "look through" where I just skimmed over everything.....(may not be a good idea for everybody!!!) Please read infection control ....following websites may help...All the best to you!!...you have prepared well ...just take your time with the questions on the test..Will definitely pray for you!!!!! A mnemonic I made for airborne infections was... MY-measles Chicken-C POX(varicella) HaZ-Disemminated Herpes Zoster TB -Tuberculosis http://www.sfcdcp.org/UserFiles/File/PDF/infcntrl.pdf http://www.stanfordhospital.com/PDF/bioterrorism/InfectionControlPrecautions.pdf http://infectioncontrol.ucsfmedicalcenter.org/ICMANUAL2007/Section1/Sec%201.1%20STD%20&%20Trans%20Precautions.pdf http://www.ucsf.edu/idmp/ucsf_specific/6%2019%2007%20standard%20precautions%20brochure%201%20per%20sheet.pdf
