  1. Three-page resume

    foreverLaur replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 23 and only recently graduated college and I have a hard time keeping it all on one page. I've had a lot of jobs. I leave some of them off, but there are quite a few I want to keep on because...

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

  3. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    foreverLaur replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    Worst case scenario, I stay at my current job and have them pay for my RN-BSN like they are paying for my ADN or until I land a good RN job. Certainly can't blame anyone for hiring BSN over ADN...

  4. Trauma vs. ER

    foreverLaur replied to healthstar's topic in Critical Care

    Murphyle, Is there a more recent copy of that text? The most recent one I could find was written 10 years ago and I'm sure a lot in health care has changed in the past 10

  5. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    foreverLaur replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    I'd qualify - I'd just have to get one within 5 years, which they would pay for. I'll happily get any degree or certification if it is on someone else's dime so if they wish to require that - more...

  6. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    foreverLaur replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't particularly care because I have a bachelors degree, will have an ADN and will eventually do RN-MSN or RN-BSN so it's all a wash for me. My ADN program has 890 clinical hours over 21 months...

  7. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    foreverLaur replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    The opposite occurs too. There are plenty of BSN grads who think they are way above any ADN grad. IMO, they both took the same licensing exam and should be considered equal when it comes to being a...

  8. Chamberlain Online LPN to RN Bridge Program

    foreverLaur replied to catrat's topic in Ohio Nursing

    IMO, only the final degree would matter or the degree that led to your current licensing. Just make sure the credits will

  9. Chamberlain Online LPN to RN Bridge Program

    foreverLaur replied to catrat's topic in Ohio Nursing

    i would avoid chamberlain (at least in ohio - duno anything about the programs in the other states). most rn-bsn programs are not entirely online and chamberlain is the only one i have seen that...

  10. Trauma vs. ER

    foreverLaur replied to healthstar's topic in Critical Care

    Normal ER visits are those that bring themselves in. Trauma patients are the ones coming in via 911 calls, ambulances, helicopters, etc. General rule of thumb - they are obvious exceptions as...

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    What kind of contract do you have to sign? We have to pay upfront and once we show proof we passed the course with a B or higher, they give us the $$ for tuition, books, supplies, etc in our paycheck...

  12. North Shore-LIJ Requires New Nurses to Have BSN

    foreverLaur replied to RNDreamer's topic in New York Nursing

    Esme12, I know when I graduate my ADN program, I will be held back because I don't have my BSN although I have a BA in Health Psychology and my local RN-BSN will require ONE online class due to...

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    glad someone else is hoping i get to start in march too! :) my backup career is to be an academic advisor (looove it) so ask away! if i don't know the answer, i can usually find it and a good friend...

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    They said October, but I'm hoping for September. The people that applied in January heard back

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    There isn't really an application. I logged in and kept hitting refresh until it let me get into the general application at 9:00:00AM. It just pops up with your Name, address, phone, cougarID and...

  16. Case, Akron, Youngstown

    foreverLaur replied to LfmVigilo's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Everyone I know that has graduated from Chamberlain is struggling hard to get a job, more so than the other Columbus schools. It is not looked as highly upon as other schools such as OSU, Capital,...

  17. Tired of the CNA Lecture *Mini-rant*

    foreverLaur replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I totally second the comment above me. As a CNA, I wasn't allowed to DO anything hardly (take vitals, check blood sugar, be a waitress) but I helped/watched a ton of procedures the nurses did. When...

  18. Estimate of Clinical Hours in BSN Program

    foreverLaur replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Chamberlain ADN has around 470 clinical hours (just asked a friend who recently

  19. Can I Still Specialize If I Get A Degree From Community College?

    foreverLaur replied to KristinMC's topic in General Students

    RN SHOULD always be RN. Everyone passes the same licensing exam so it shouldn't make a difference. If they aren't the same, they shouldn't take the same licensing exam and carry the same

  20. Estimate of Clinical Hours in BSN Program

    foreverLaur replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Attempt #2 (I can't add and it won't let me edit my previous post) Local ADN program: 1st quarter: 40 hours (4 hrs/day for 10 weeks) -- LTC 2nd quarter: 70 hours (7 hours/day for 10 weeks)...

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Ohio State, Mt Carmel, and Capital have RN-BSN. Ohio State, Capital, and Otterbein have RN-MSN. Otterbein has a CRNA

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

    foreverLaur replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    No, you should not need additional coursework. While Hondros and Chamberlain are accredited, they have poor clinical sites and are not look as highly upon as Columbus State, OSU, Otterbein, Mt Carmel,...

  23. Can I Still Specialize If I Get A Degree From Community College?

    foreverLaur replied to KristinMC's topic in General Students

    Not around here. You are able to do all prerequisites in 1 quarter and the program is 1.5 yrs in length (year round) and there are new RN-BSN programs in the area where I will be living that are 1...

  24. Can I Still Specialize If I Get A Degree From Community College?

    foreverLaur replied to KristinMC's topic in General Students

    ADN = 2 years RN-BSN = 1 year Route total: 3 years BSN = 4 years My vote... ADN. Faster and cheaper to RN. If I could start over, I would have done what my high school friends did. Senior year of...
