Good luck in finishing nursing school and the continuation of your education.

You know what I just applied and got accepted. There was no test to take to get in the RN-BSN program. It's not like regular nursing school there are no set number of spots. I think you have to have at least a 2.5 GPA with all your prerequisites for the RN-BSN and a 3.0 GPA for the RN-MSN. But it is way more simpler than actual nursing school. All the courses are online for the most part. You can take Patho, Management in a class setting if you want. But it is pretty good. I graduate this May 2010.

SHSU does not have a nursing program i went there for 3 yrs and then to nursing school. They have a Pre-professional nursing program which is basically the pre-req's for nursing school. They only have 1 hospital and it's not that close to the university so I think it would be hard to have a nursing program like the one's in houston and dallas. But huntsville is a growing city so i guess anything is possible.

I wish our charge nurses did all these things ya'll speak of. Our's just usually sit at the desk, check labs, make bed assignments, they only do admissions if an LVN is getting an admission (since they are not allowed to do admissions) and only help if the Nurse Manager is around. They are suppose to be the last ones out the door after shift change but I've been there plenty of times and they were gone and didn't bother to help.
