I don't know if you were referring to me or not, but I already have a Bachelor's degree and about to be working on my Masters and nursing school is just a side option. Also, I already know about the...
I've always enjoyed the online program formats, because there are due dates and they move you along quickly throughout the course. You have to be really disciplined to do a Independent study course....
Well, if you want to get all technical about it a self-study based program would be considered "Independent Study" and not distance learning. I mean come on folks, we know that everyone considers any...
Yeah, it is online. Just call and talk to the advisors at Excelsior for yourself and don't listen to folks that don't know what they are talking about. The program is all online and you have to...
huh...???? the last time that i spoke to an advisor at excelsior, she specifically referred to their program as an "online" program. the only thing that is not online are the clinicals that you have...
I have seen some other LPN to RN programs online besides Excelsior, but I don't remember the names of the school. You might have to do a google search to find them. Also, you might need to check the...
Actually, attending Hinds would ruin your desire to become a nurse! It is that serious not to fool with them! I attended the Nursing Allied in Jackson, and I had to drop the program because it was...
I guess in some of the rural hospitals in MS, they pay more than some of the larger city hospitals. The rural hospitals that do pay more, they really don't have a shortage. Most people are attracted...

What are some of the things you would do working for a Mental State Hospital's Nursing home? Would it be considered skill care or intermediate care? The reason why I'm asking is because I'm thinking...
Is that RN program going to be at the Scooba campus or Golden Triangle? I saw that survey on the website and I filled it out. They need a RN program at both campuses because they could easily do...

Let me know how your girlfriend likes USM's nursing program. I started another thread about USM's nursing school. I just graduated from Mississippi State (GO STATE! GO STATE!) As you can tell, I'm...
Does anyone work for Whitfield in Jackson? I thought about doing psyche nursing after graduating, but wasn't sure about the environment. How is the pay and benefits at Whitfield and how is the working...

Well, $2.00 is not that big of a difference enough to move to Hattiesburg. I, myself, like Jackson a WHOLE lot better than Hattiesburg. Hattiesburg is a small college town, there is more to do in...

I'm not sure. I will have to ask one of my friends, she should probably know. I'm sure the pay is about the same in Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, and Jackson. It will depend on what type of facility...

Well, if she goes on the passing rate of Hinds, she wouldn't choose to go there. That is why the Clarion Ledger wrote an article about Hinds because the passing rate was low. Also, they had a low...
okay, this is becoming redundant. the same things are being said over and over. after this statement, i'm finished with this thread. i've got the answers that i needed from this board, and that's not...
I'm not referring to this thread in particular. I'm referring to the allnurses website all together. There are a lot of threads that nursing are venting about their jobs. There are only a few positive...
I corrected my statement, about bad money managment, when I wrote a reply to Valerie Salva ( I don't know if that is the correct spelling). I said the ones I know personally have bad money management....
