Does anyone here wear them? I have been rotating Alegrias, Danskos, and New Balance primarily for a while now, but I'm looking for something else for my poor feet. A physical therapist recommended Merrell Gloves and swears by minimalist shoes, concre...

Shepherd Center has Baylor/weekend option, too. Best of luck!

Thanks so much for the info and the alternative. I appreciate it!

Thanks for your reply. I purchased the book package from Cengage that the professor said is absolutely required. It was $150 with shipping. Steep for a prerequisite class, but oh well. In other news, I just got an e-mail with the syllabus saying that...

I hadn't heard of this before- thank you!

Going to be hard to get everything done by Saturday morning. I know a lot of us (me included) spend weekends working on this stuff normally d/t work schedules.

Does anyone here know if a BSN awarded from an online RN-BSN program like Chamberlain or WGU is acceptable to the Air Force or Navy? I can't find the answer anywhere so far after looking for weeks. I called and e-mailed the local AF health care recru...

Am I the only one discouraged with this class so far? I was hoping for an A, but I guess I will just be happy if I pass.

I'm enrolled in 4510 starting today. Best of luck to all of us. It looks very fast-paced already!

Thanks so much for your help! This is exactly what I was looking for. :)

I've been having some problems as well and it is frustrating. Same exact thing where one of my transcripts apparently never arrived but my application was listed as complete. No one could tell me why there was a delay when I first started asking abou...

Thank you so much for your help RNMom2010! I think I am going to wait to start the program as well because I simply can't afford to take general ed classes at out of state tuition rates if they don't accept my previous credits. The weird thing is tha...

Thanks for all of the great information! I am starting October 1st and I have a few concerns that I was hoping someone here could clarify since their office isn't open yet and I go to work soon: 1. When do transfer credit reports become available?...

I graduated this year and started working right after- I strongly agree that working as a new graduate nurse is far more stressful than nursing school. I used to have so much anxiety about checkoffs and getting good grades, but now if I drop the ball...

"All I said was that we didn't get to any of her patient's bowel programs today."

I'd encourage you guys to look into doing PCT work PRN if you are able to while in school at the hospital you want to work at. Also, work your butt off in your preceptorship and show them that you are dedicated, reliable, and hard-working. These two ...

There is a difference in the test itself in the last semester. They add some short written answer type questions to the last section instead of just straight multiple-choice. They accepted multiple answers for most- they just wanted to ensure that yo...

You can read about Magnet status here: American Nurses Credentialing Center - ANCC - American Nurses Credentialing Center - ANCC Keep in mind that again the quality of the individual program is determined by the program itself and isn't really a matt...

Here in Georgia, I have experienced BSN nurses (and even BSN nursing students) indicating that they feel that ADN and diploma nurses are inferior. Fortunately at my institution, there are still ADN nurses in management that advocate for ADN and diplo...

Not crazy at all! Nights can be difficult on the body, but I have found them to be a better teaching environment (depending on the floor of course) and sometimes the pace can be more managable as well for a new grad. I found nights had plenty of busy...

Have you checked to see if the hospital you want to work at offers courses? I looked for AHA courses outside of a hospital in your area and I was only able to find ACLS, etc. closer to Atlanta, so you might need to travel some to do them (unless some...

Thanks for sharing! I start orientation on Monday and I really appreciate posts like this. You sound very conscientious and this year will fly by. Before you know it, you will start to be comfortable in your own skin. Keep up the good work! :)

I believe certain organizations will only accept CCNE, so I would check with the school or facility that you want to be a part of after this degree. An example is the U.S. Navy. According to their website and the information I was sent, one of the qu...

Hi everyone, I've been researching RN-BSN online programs for a while now. It is mind-boggling how many programs there are and how the expenses and requirements vary from school to school! Anyway, I have finally narrowed it down to these three: 1. Un...

For our school, clinical rotations were done in small groups of classmates and an assigned school nursing instructor. We would have 4-7 students per clinical group and, for example, each might have 1-2 patients to care for. The school nursing instruc...
