Hello all! I'm a BSN prepared nurse looking to get out of the hectic floor nursing and would rather teach at a college and take my summers off. Anyway, I was looking at Capella's program and Walden's program. I noticed that Capella is accredited by T...

I had a total of 8 interviews, and no none would pay for the interview travel. After the first two said they wouldn't I quit asking. Some would pay anywhere from 1000 to 2000 for relocation. I did not take a job in a hospital as I felt the nurse to p...

All I know is if you want to get your DNP you want your MSN in either informatics or leadership/management. If you have the education specialty they make you take several more classes. I am in the education track as I want to teach online. I've sinc...

hi Cabbagehead! That is one hosptial I will be having an interview next month at for the same area. I have a total of five interviews lined up waiting on one more while I visit. You will have to keep me posted on how you like it there. I'm relocati...

Hi all! Just wanted to start a thread for support for anyone that has been accepted or to be accepted for the education track at Walden University Janurary 3rd BSN to MSN in education! I'm looking forward to my new chapter in my life. I am a divor...

Welcome SRDAVIS!!! What state are you teaching in? Any advice for teaching that you have? I did talk to an instructor and she said it takes a good two years to get a system going and to really start enjoying it. Are you teaching theory and clinicals...

Awww, the cardiac floor! LOL To be honest, I'm getting burnt out of bedside nursing (why I'm back in school so I can teach). I would love your schedule (holidays & weekends off)!! Someday hopefully soon! This site can be kind of fun just ...

That is good to hear Janet! I'm looking forward making the transition into education. I was offered a teaching job down south, but just too soon to move. It was similiar to the $65k but not the full summer off instead about a total of 8 weeks off a ...

Hats oiff to you!!!!!

lepew....which track did you do through Walden? CONGRATS at seeing the end very soon!

Did you start a thread for the Jan 3rd eduction track? It would be a great resource for all of us!

I start Jan 3 w/their education program. We might have some if the same classes at the same time.

Thank you for your response! I did check w/some local colleges & both said Capella & Walden are excellant schools. I decided to apply to Walden as the cost in the end would be cheaper. I want to do their nurse education track & eventuall...

I work in a MNA hospital and to be honest I think staffing is AWFUL as far as all three shifts it is 1:4 (even the night shift). It bugs me how nights only has to have 4 patients as the day shift. 4 on days is fine w/me and I do not believe it is u...

Thanks for your information! I just emailed Banner and will see what they say. I don't want to apply until I talk to them since I found another hospital that will not consider out of state nurses due to the cost of relocation.

Hi! I will be relocating to AZ as soon as I get a job this year. I'm not in any rush and want to apply to the best hospitals. Looking to live in the Mesa area. I have been an RN since 2005 and have worked in hospice, oncology, and telemetry. I r...

Popejane3rd, I'm not sure any of those jobs have better pay or hours (I know where I work they sure don't), BUT I am planning ahead for when I do HATE being a bedside nurse. I am actually looking at going to law school, which I can still keep my ...

Good luck to you! Keep us updated! They are very nice and easy to work with. I can only say for one hospital, and not all 4 that are in the HealthEast system. Just FYI Woodwinds is not in the union, but I do not believe they have the RN residency...

pay for a new BSN for next year (6/1/09) looks like it will be $29.09 on days you get $2.75 I believe more for evenings and $4 more on nights. There is also an extra $1.10 an hour for weekend hours. I know they also have a baylor program where if y...

alexandrabadjie....... HealthEast has a GREAT new grad residency program. I think the two hospitals within the system that do this would be St John's or St Joseph's. St Joe's is in downtown St Paul and St John's is north of there in Maplewood. You...

Check out Healtheast! The hospital that I work in in this system is always having new grads orientate to floors. They call it their new grad residency program and I believe they go to 3-4 different floors for 3 weeks and at the end of their residen...

Bethel has a RN to BSN program and they also have a program for individuals that already have their Bachelors in another degree. I really like their RN to BSN program......1 evening per week, 1 class at a time.... Good luck......

Duluth is a dying community along with Superior! I grew up there and moved away. IF you love fog, cold weather, and the cold wind off of Lake Superior then it is for you. More opportunities await in the twin cities, and a bit warmer weather too......

Hello! Anybody gone through Bethel's RN to BSN program, or is anybody planning on going there? Just curious, I do start in April would be nice to meet some people and chit chat etc. To be honest, I'm not real excited on going back to school, BUT I...

R*Star*RN, You have the community health "clinical" if you want to call it that which is 48 hours. There is a leadership project, a clinical nursing problem project and one other one that you have to do. It is just nice knowing the one day per week...
