  1. Kent State University Accelered 2nd Degree BSN

    foreverLaur posted a topic in General Students

  2. Can I make it through an accelerated program?

    foreverLaur replied to EKitty's topic in General Students

    Physician Assistant, not possessive. PAs do not belong to physicians. They work with physicians the same as Nurse Practitioners. The major difference is that NPs tend to work in office type...

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    Are you in the traditional or accelerated BSN at Akron? I would prefer to go to Akron (closer to home and clinical sites), but they have a lot more prerequisites that I don't have the time to take and...

  4. Kent State University Accelered 2nd Degree BSN

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    I'm from the Akron area as well, so I know their traditional BSN program is highly regarded. I was hoping to get some info on how it is doing the BSN in 15 months, where clinical rotations are done,...

  6. When did the NCLEX become the NCLEX?

    foreverLaur posted a topic in General Students

    My mother is a LPN and my aunt is a RN and a CCRN with a MSN. They all did this way back in the day (like 30+ years ago) and neither one of them know what the NCLEX is. They just remember taking...

  7. Where is the DNP at in terms of being required?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's not scary or anything...

  8. Where is the DNP at in terms of being required?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm an LPN (did it while in high school) who is now in college... going to work as an RN for a few years and then go back to graduate school. I'm just curious why a lot of people, including the AMA,...

  9. Where is the DNP at in terms of being required?

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I still have no interest in a doctorate degree. Masters degree prepared nurses are excellent mid-level providers and that is what the nurse practitioner is intended to be. There is absolutely zero...

  10. Certified Nurse's Aid

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

  12. Certified Nurse's Aid

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    Well I was planning to relocate to Texas anyways, but planned on finishing up licensing requirements here in Ohio. However, it would be nice to maybe just contest the CNA exam in Texas and work as a...

  13. Certified Nurse's Aid

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    If I didn't already have the CNA knowledge, I would have no problem taking the course. It is the fact that I do have the knowledge so I would be paying for a course and taking 10 weeks of my time to...

  14. Certified Nurse's Aid

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    In Ohio, there are three ways to become a CNA 1. Take a course and then take the exam. Since I am still a full time student who works 25 hours per week, my only option is to take the 5 credit hour,...

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    foreverLaur replied to kitzetti's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't attend the program, but I am a student at OSU and I have been to information sessions about it because I was interested in it as well. Here is everything I have been told by the staff there....

    foreverLaur posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone know anything about Chamberlain College of Nursing? I just got accepted to their BSN program to start this summer. The campus is brand new (Columbus, OH) so they can't be fully accredited...

    foreverLaur replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    I will be 23 when I get my BSN-RN and probably between 28-30 when I get my MSN. I'm amazed at all of you who managed that schooling so much later in life, from an academic standpoint! Two thumbs up...

    foreverLaur replied to Kiwi's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    foreverLaur replied to SBCHEV99's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well I assumed information coming from Case Wester, which has both a CRNA and AA program would be factual. Apparently I was incorrect. I was not aware that a CRNA could work independently. Every...

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