  1. Capella University RN-BSN-MSN flexpath - Experience?

    DeLynn replied to arieseff's topic in School, College Programs

    I know this is an older post, however, wanted to share my preceptorship experience. I was able to have someone from my hospital be my preceptor. It wasn't difficult due to our hospital already having...

    DeLynn replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Yes, I was offered a few different positions. One was for an educator for outpatient offices, and the other was for an educator in the department I was currently working in. My background is OR so I...

  3. Does it matter if I get my nursing degree at Capella vs another school?

    DeLynn posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I've been accepted at UNCW and Capella for MSN in education. UNCW won't start until June and should take a year. I can start Capella now. I did Capella FlexPath for my BSN and enjoyed it, I finished...

  4. Capella RN-BSN Flexpath-My experience

    DeLynn posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    When I was researching RN-BSN online programs there was very little info about Capella's RN-BSN Flexpath program. It just started in Jan 2016. So, I thought I would share my experience with the...

  5. Why Wasn't I Offered the OR Position?

    DeLynn replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

    I totally agree, I want to see someone enthusiastic about the OR, not just why they want to leave their current position. If they aren't enthusiastic, they won't

  6. Attire?

    DeLynn posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I accepted a position as the nurse educator for 17 physician offices. My question is, what would be the appropriate attire? My manager suggested scrubs, but I feel like business casual would be more...

  7. Does it matter if I get my nursing degree at Capella vs another school?

    DeLynn replied to DeLynn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    FYI, if you have a 2.8 GPA you need to do extra steps to get accepted, it's not automatic. The program also requires teaching hours in the practicum for the MSN ED and the program covers curriculum...

  8. Does it matter if I get my nursing degree at Capella vs another school?

    DeLynn replied to DeLynn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Capella University is accredited by CCNE, so all of these statements are mute. Nothing from your statement means that the school does not teach nurses how to become a Master's prepared Nurse Educator....

  9. Does it matter if I get my nursing degree at Capella vs another school?

    DeLynn replied to DeLynn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It's quite possible for some to not have any problem finding a job they want no matter where they received their MSN, as in my case and I'm sure many others. It's not easy to graduate from Capella and...

  10. Does it matter if I get my nursing degree at Capella vs another school?

    DeLynn replied to DeLynn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I didn't have an issue with my Capella degree with any of the positions I applied to and ended up with a very "desirable" job making much more than I was, with a lot of autonomy, room for creativity,...

  11. Attire?

    DeLynn replied to DeLynn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I will be the educator in only physician offices, so no lab or class. The manager is no longer there, so I guess I can decide for myself. I might wait and see what the office managers wear and go by...

    DeLynn replied to yudenisr's topic in Nursing Career

    I've been a nurse for over 20 years. I was an LPN then and RN. I've put my time in the "trenches". Nothing wrong with being a bedside nurse, we have all contributed. There comes a time when some might...

    DeLynn replied to CrazyCoconut's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not sure of any RN-BSN programs that don't require a lot of papers, maybe others know of some? Capella Flexpath was all papers/power points. NO discussion boards. I finished in 11 months and paid...

  25. Online BSN to MSN in Education recommendations??

    DeLynn replied to FatsWaller's topic in Online Distance Learning
