Any recommendations for a good online course to get your BSN? I've just started looking & would really like to do this from home if at all possible. Would really appreciate any input you can give!! Thx!!

:roll I could not resist replying to this!! I cannot tell you how many times I &/or my nursing buds have stated this very same quote!! :chuckle Nice to know we're not alone in that thought!! I've only been in nursing for about a year & a ...

Thanks everyone for the advice! :) I'm checking several out right now. Does anyone know anything about Regis University? I got something in the mail & was just checking them out along with the others. http://www.regisonline.org/

Thank you so much!! That is exactly what I was looking for! I will definitely check some of these out!

Just curious - for those of you graduating in '04, that already have a degree (in something else), do you plan on attending your school's graduation ceremony? The question was brought up to me the other day & I know I plan on going to the pinnin...

Me too!!! December '04 - hopefully anyway!!! :) :) :)

Hi all! I am 34 (35 in June!) & this is also my 2nd career. I am in my 3rd semester of 4, ADN program at Kansas City Kansas Community College. I am married with 2 kids (6 & 9). Am ready to graduate but scared to death to take this NCLEX!!...

Oops! Sorry for posting twice! See what nursing school does to ya'?!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone else having a hard time finding a job?!! I just completed my 1st semester of nursing school & have no prior medical experience & it seems like no one wants to hire you without that experience! But without getting hired on, how do ...

Thanks for the responses everybody! Well, after all my worries, I finally got the call! I got the job!! I am soooo excited! I start next week as a PCT (pt care tech). It's a prn position which is what I wanted anyway, as I'm not sure how much I'...

For those of you that have taken both of these - any advice on which to take first? These are the classes I am supposed to take next semester, each an 8 week course. I've heard that it is better to have Med Surg first, then you learn the meds you n...

Thanks to all for your advice! Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to pick, so I'm going into Med-Surg first. Oh well. I think they're both going to be tough from what I hear, so I hope I can come here for some support!!!! Thanks again for the a...

For me it was definately Microbiology! I hated that class!! Although the labs were kinda fun, sometimes anyway! It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I just thank God it's over!!! :)

LOL!! :chuckle Not laughing at you - just laughing with you! You sound exactly like me!! Laundry & dishes piled to the ceiling -- my kids wondering who that "strange" woman is in their mom's bedroom that's always buried in her books!! One tip...

Just adding my 2 cents too! I agree with all the posts here. You sound like you have a realistic idea of what nursing is like & yet you still want to do it!! I say GO FOR IT too! You've already said it "feels right" - that is your answer righ...

I agree a lot with Sandy. It was a "calling from God" for me too. I have always wanted to be a nurse, ever since I was a little girl, but when I was in high school, I talked with a few counselors about colleges & was always told you have to be ...

Just out of curiosity -- what semester are you all in? & is it an ADN or BSN program? I was just wondering if most schools have you do a "public" teaching project??!! I'm in 1st semester & we've only done teaching projects with our patients...

Hi "Love a Nurse"! -- (I have that on my front license plate!!) Actually, I really like nursing school. It is really tough & at times feels like it's kicking my a--! but, I know this is what I want to do & I really like it! I get to observ...

Hi all! New here! Just browsing the discussions & thought this would be a good one to join! I have a question for anyone who can help me! I am a first semester nursing student & in our clinicals, we have post conferences in which we each ...
