Will this program be flexible/go at your own pace and pass/fail like their other degree programs?

OP, I see where you are coming from about schools needing to give students more assistance in finding preceptors. Schools may be taking advantage of students in that way. However, the rest of the post comes off as looking down on people. I'm sure t...

The prerequisite science classes.

No I don't go to WGU. I think their approach sounds good though. It's different.

Are credits from WGU able to be transferred to another school? I am not talking about transferring a degree, I mean transferring classes from WGU to another school, if for example you find that you don't like WGU.

Wait, how did my post turn into a thread? I don't remember doing that, lol. Thanks. I figured it would be up to each school but I wanted know of anyone had any experience trying. So your story is helpful.

Could Souths problems with regional accreditation effect accreditation for their online school?

See, I look at it the opposite way. To me nursing is not a pure science like being a rocket scientist or something. Nursing is partly about science. Nursing is also about helping the sick, comforting people, caring for those who can't care for themse...

he's a professional football player? cool.

No, my hospital just asked for a copy of my license. I think that is enough.

Oh ok, I misunderstood what you were trying to say. My fault. Sorry Mclennan.

I think you will find a lot of Christians in nursing. As other have mentioned Nursing and many hospitals in this country have roots in faith, Adventist Hospitals, Catholic Hospitals, ect. So you won't have a problem finding Christians. I do wonder i...

I heard that schools are moving away from teaching nursing diagnosis. I for one agree with those who think it is useless.

Agreed. If OP doesn't agree with what this organization stands for that she should not sign that paper. That's wrong and dishonest, IMHO. Also asking them for an alternative statement borders on disrespectful and can be taken the wrong way. OP shoul...

Say What! This is exaclty the reason some nurses don't like to call doctors. To be honest I would not mind working on a unit where the charge nurse advises you on calling doctors like the one the OP mentioned. I guess this is one of those things that...

how do you get jobs like these? how many years experience do you need? this sounds very good.

I foud this message board in 2008.

i also don't like talking to doctors. the advise on this thread is very helpful.

Wow, from 70 to 80. that stinks for the new class. my school was 74.

I agree. I think this story is inspirational because it shows that you can overcome your obstacles no matter what they are. Good for her! I wish her luck with her future.

I see where the OP's family memeber was coming from cause where I live the stereotype is kinda true. There is a bigger proportion of gay males than in other careers that I know of. About half of the male nurses I know are gay. That's alot. I don't fi...

I never learned this in school. I'm suprised at how many people in this thread did learn venipuncture because most recent grads I know did not learn this skill either. Maybe it's just the area where I live? Anyway, I don't know why the lab teacher wa...

In general I think nurses should stay within thier scope and folllow the rules. These rules are in place for a reason and that is to protect everyone involve, inlcuding the patients. Someone posted that she has seen nurses give patients oxygen when t...

Ah, so she did not realize it was really cheating. Ok makes sense. It is a good thing that you let Jesus take the wheel. Asking God for guidance is always the best way to go. Your did the right thing. I am glad things worked out where you did not hav...

Cool! I did not want to seem like I was being argumentative. The OP has many good recommendations to consider and maybe she will get a few more. Hope she lets us know the outcome.
