    SummitRN replied to TeamSteven01's topic in School, College Programs

    Again with the definition of for profit (excess goes into the pockets of the executives/investors)... If you think a CC is trying to nickel and dime you charging 5K-20K for an ADN versus ITT charging...

    You won't find them on the NLN, CCNE, or HLC sites. ITT is only accredited nationally by ACICS, which is controversial because their Board of Directors is comprised of the executives of the same...

    Same problem here. I had a 3.8 and 7 years as an EMT. One BSN program rejected me outright, but the other university accepted me and gave me a scholarship. (woohoo!) This option I know nothing...

    So instead of waiting 1 year to do 1.5 years, you will assume ITT's level of debt in a 2.5 year program which will leave you at least somewhat less marketable (ADN from a for profit (least desirable...

    Well, then you are covered, except if you have a bachelors degree already and eventually want to get a BSN, why are you wasting your time/money with a 2.5 year ITT ADN program when you could do a 1.5...

    Again, you need to reread my previous posts. You may have a few credits of prereqs from a reputable school that will transfer for you, but the 65 credits of Nursing from ITT and any of the other gen...

    Seeking information on BSN programs in Colorado: Pros/Cons

    SummitRN replied to MR1010's topic in Colorado Nursing

    No BSN program has a waitlist. You are admitted on merit, not a lottery or application number. You just have to meet the prereqs. ... unless you are looking at private for profits like DSN, Platte,...

    You need to catch up on your history. Puerto Rico is a self-governed democratic US commonwealth. Guam is a self-governing territory. While Philippines WAS US commonwealth, they became a fully...

    I agree that evidenced based practice is good. Evidence based decision making here is key. That's precisely why I'm presenting a large body of evidence from multiple sources rather than relying on one...

    Your RN comes from your school being accredited with the state BoN. Your degree's stature with other schools comes from the school's regional accreditation and it's NLNAC and/or CCNE accreditation. As...

    Online RN-BSN programs.

    SummitRN replied to JasonGCA's topic in General Nursing

    No reputable school can give you a BSN in less than a year unless you already have a lot of college credit beyond your ADN because most ADN programs will leave you with 45-50 credits short of the 120...

    Is it safe to do CPR outside of work????

    SummitRN replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    They CAN sue you for doing CPR. They can also sue you for looking at them funny. But they won't. BEING ABLE TO SUE HAS NOTHING TO DUE WITH BEING ABLE TO SUE SUCCESSFULLY. Being able to sue has nothing...

    BIO111 and BIO201 the same semester? Anyone done it?

    SummitRN replied to orchid09's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yes, but expect to work extra hard since BIO201 assumes you already know BIO111. Work ahead in BIO111 a lot. If you are smart and work hard, you can get a 4.0 in both.

    The reason they move on if you don't answer is because the call list is not in order, but "qualified candidates without ranking to be called
