  1. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    ADN will do the job for advanced practice. The school I am looking to go to for my MSN is top 20 ranked and does not require a BSN.... BSN or ADN + non nursing bachelors. There is also a major...

  2. AAS RN vs. bachelors RN

    foreverLaur replied to Enza's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    RN-BSN programs can be anywhere from 1-3 years long depending on the program and how many classes you take at one time. Most of the ones in my area are 3-4 straight semesters of 7-8 credits a...

  3. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I completely agree. A local school does a 3 year MSN for those with a non-nursing bachelors degree who are not nurses of any kind, but they don't grant you a BSN. If you opt to do NNP or ACNP which...

  4. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My ADN program has stand alone microbiology, anatomy, physiology, statistics, chemistry (general and organic/biochem), pathophysiology, and biology classes that arerequired as part of the curriculum....

  5. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Definitely work part-time. It will do WONDERS to your education, your family time, and your stress

  6. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If Tri-C is anything like CSCC and you have any remote desire to keep a social life and/or your sanity, I would highly recommend going part-time. I am taking 3 classes right now (6 credit hour OB...

  7. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think what the question is... Since a lot of hospitals prefer BSN over ADN for a bedside nurse (which has nothing to do with magnet status), what BSN courses will make a nurse a better bedside nurse...

  8. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm pretty sure my 2 years I spent as an honors business major covered more leadership classes than I ever care to think about. Obviously not health care related but it's all the same really. I have...

  9. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    But what are those extra classes? My ADN program actually has MORE clinical hours than almost all the BSN programs in the area and four of my lecture/clinical instructors also teach nursing to BSN...

  10. what can I use my BSN outside of nursing?

    foreverLaur replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a mail-order pharmacy and we employ a lot of RNs for out off-site infusion clinics and on-site to do phone counseling with patients about their

  11. WHY does a B.S. + RN not equal BSN

    foreverLaur replied to jlpsu's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What type of specific curriculum does a BSN program entail (besides general education) that a RN program doesn't? At clinical today, I worked with two nurses who did ADN programs and much later went...

  12. OhioHealth vs OSU for new grad employer

    foreverLaur replied to tyhmar6's topic in Ohio Nursing

    The only way you will get into OSU is by knowing someone. I applied with a good resume for 4 years to OSU with no luck whatsoever. The minute I had an employee referral on my resume, I was hired. Do...

  13. Columbus Ohio=no new grad rn jobs

    foreverLaur replied to leaBSN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have heard you cannot get into OSU unless you know someone or graduated from their program. I applied to 7-10 jobs a month for 4 years and my applications got rejected instantly every time. I...

  14. Community College? You must be stupid.

    foreverLaur replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I got my first degree, a bachelors degree, from a 4 year university. I am now in nursing school at a community college. During my 4 year degree, I took summer classes at the community college. Most...

  15. Failed HESI A-2 Entry Exam & not allowed a retest. Please help!

    foreverLaur replied to bobbleheadoll's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would take a second look at everything. The math on the Hesi is very simple compared to the math in nursing school. Like I said, I barely studied for it and got well over a 90% cumulative. I...

  16. Failed HESI A-2 Entry Exam & not allowed a retest. Please help!

    foreverLaur replied to bobbleheadoll's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I borrowed my Hesi study guide from the library for free! I would check into that as I found it very useful - I got over a 90% cumulative and a 100% on math because of

  17. ****** off at CSCC

    foreverLaur replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Question to any current online students!!! I am only getting the break announcements about the traditional program since they are posted on the 100/110 blackboard sites. I am now in the online...

  18. Tri-C in Cleveland

    foreverLaur replied to NewStart2012's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I thought the Hesi A2 was very easy. I had to brush up on math as my last math class was Calc II my freshman year of college (2005) so I forgot how to do BASIC math! Also know roman numerals,...

  19. Case Western Reserve University

    foreverLaur replied to resilientnurse's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I recently got a job on a psych unit and my manager got one of her degrees from CWRU, one from a school in San Diego, and one from OSU. She said it is a great school, but not worth the $$. She said...

  20. ****** off at CSCC

    foreverLaur replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Ha - no worries. It is a very frustrating time. I said a few words myself back then too. Feel free to ask away. I have learned a ton from students ahead of me and it has been

  22. BLS vs. CPR/AED??

    foreverLaur replied to eyoliver's topic in General Nursing

    BLS for Healthcare Providers through AHA includes AED and choking as well as

  23. ****** off at CSCC

    foreverLaur replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Uh oh - is the 110 final much harder than the two midterms? I found both midterms very easy with no studying (just attending seminar). At least in 110 they give us a breakdown of what is on the exam...

  24. ****** off at CSCC

    foreverLaur replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Well we have finals on Tuesday. The committee met on Friday to make the decision about letting me switch tracks. I'm not worried about 110 - that class was super easy. I have a 90/95 in the class...

  25. ****** off at CSCC

    foreverLaur replied to notallwhowander's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Well, it is official. I am an online nursing student at CSCC :). Anyone else around here going to be a 2nd quarter online student starting at the end of the month? Also, there for 111 there is a...
