  1. Nursing School Question: Chamberlain vs. Hondros

    foreverLaur replied to justkellymarie's topic in General Students

    Their point was that the credits won't transfer and be applicable to a RN-BSN program. I spoke with someone directly who said it is unlikely another school will accept any credits for a RN-BSN...

    foreverLaur replied to car2614's topic in General Nursing

    My aunt is an acute care clinical nurse specialist and works in a CCU/CVICU. They also have acute care nurse practitioners. In that case, where the specialty is the same, what's the difference in...

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Will have to do a varicella titer since I've had the chicken pox but no vaccination or titers, right? And then get the vaccine if my titers aren't up to par? The rest I have proof of vaccination....

  7. CSCC response time for online track

    foreverLaur replied to shawn_yle's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I would meet with someone more nursing specific - they have a lot better information. I would also advise calling the nursing dept directly. When I took NURC 102, my professor also taught in the...

    foreverLaur replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I thought Percocet couldn't be faxed since it's a CII? Are the pharmacy laws different when it is a hospital pharmacy? I understand the frustration of multiple people calling. There should be...

  11. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm not thrilled about the DNP requirement in 2015. It provides you ZERO clinical experience and ZERO science coursework. It would be very useful for those wanting to go into education, research,...

    foreverLaur replied to dedicate's topic in General Nursing

  16. CSCC response time for online track

    foreverLaur replied to shawn_yle's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I have no idea, but look at it this way. It took them 3 months to send out letters when everyone who applied was guaranteed to get in. With the online track, they actually have to review the...
