That is wonderful to hear, I am looking at this program now and was looking for feedback. I wouyld appreciate more if anyone has done the RN-BSN on-line. Thanks

I am also looking at the RN to BSN program, I would love some further feedback.

YES, I must have an A too. I would have to say i am anal about it as well. I want a high GPA and A's. I work hard and learn to earn them. it was great to see the A's on the website where they post our grades! With that said I must point out that...

oh boy, i shouldn't have read this thread. i start my course on Wednesday! it is just for healthcare professionals so it should be focused. however, i hate debating things to death that don't have an answer. Every situation is different. I know a...

I had to see a dentist before I started too. I forgot but after reading you post, I remember going and having them fill out a form. We started clinical in the hospital about 2 1/2 weeks into the first semester. Never had anything to do over the summ...

WOW, that is a lot!!! i was going to go to a school that was private and $12, 000 a year plus books, uniforms, etc. However, I got into my first choice which was a hospital based school. I paid total less than $15,000 for my entire education-inclu...

WAIT until you know the hospitals policy!!!

I took A&P II during the summer. It was from 8-12, 4 times a week?? It was extemely hard and obviously extremely concentrated. I was working on the weekends and VERY rarely picked-up hours while taking this class. It was very time comsuming....

We had to take it but they didn't say anything if the score was bad. I am assuming that they would interevene with some help or something. They told us it was an indicator on how well you will do the boards. We used to take these sort of tests 3 t...

Yuck!! I would hate that. Sometimes a block just isn't big enough. They would take me way more time. I am horrible at spelling too. Good Luck with that. Let us know how you like it.

I do not wear them for everything but most things. Assessments as well sometimes, depending on the patient. I error on the side of caution.

NEVER take money but one time we had a patient like that too. He tried to give 4 of us, $20. I refused and they became upset. They wanted to know why and demanded a answer. I tried to explain but they still wanted me to take it. I went to our nu...

I respect the decision. Thanks for letting us know. You have a lot of work ahead of you!!!

It was my first year of nursing school. I was doing a dressing change on this elderly woman. She was so sweet and always chatting. GREAT for me as a student. She was a diabetic and had grangrene of her toes and part of her foot. My instructor co...

When I was charge nurse on 3-11, I had the same patient load as everyone else, if not more (usually 8-12 but had as many as 17 a few times). I would be expected to take a difficult or extra patient. Might as well take the extra patient since I have...

I am taking some classes for RN to BSN. You must be organized and motivated. It's great so that you can do it at what times you like. It's VERY easy to put things off and wait to the last minute. Stay on top of everything! I spend LOADS of time....

In my class I was only one who went to a med-surg floor. I am still there and working on my BSN now.

I would talk to the Prof. especially since your last 15 minutes you couldn't concentrate. That is not a good test taking environment. I would have complained right then and there. I have to have it really quiet. I would talk to them so it doesn'...

We use one too, LOVE it!! Doctor usaully put orders in for parameters and then we report if needed. Much better than cathing all the time!!!

We do not have monitors. We are able to give it IV if it is a routine med. So not a one time dose. They would have to get it once a day or more. I think I have only given it a few times over the past few years.

I got my issue in the mail today. I love that magazine. I don't know emtionally if I could do that. What fine nurses!!!!

Well, fab4fan, I couldn't believe when I read your post (on other board), I was shocked. I felt horrible that you had you no where to turn. It didn't make sense, why wouldn't they let you work what you could until you were healed. With being shor...

I was shocked that so many people check insulin and herparin. I don't think it's wrong. I went to school in the same hospital where I work and have never read anything about checking with another nurse unless it's peds. On my floor we give a lot o...

I was never taught to aspirate either. Like others have said, you can have a great site but get no blood return. So it's really not a good indicator of a patent site. It seems like an extra step that you don't need to do. If I have trouble pushi...

My mother is a teacher and I think they should be certified. She has been teaching for over 30 years and never taken a CPR course. I did get her to take one last summer. I think day care's, schools, etc, any place that cares for children should ha...
