My friend worked at Baptist when she first moved to the memphis area (before she knew any better). a year ago. To answer your question yes Baptist still has high patient ratios. My friend worked ICU stepdown at the time and she told me one day a nurs...

Thank you this does help a lot. Now I know that I can't go wrong either way.

Hello I have been a watcher of this forum for some time. I am currently working in a level III NICU and I have one year experience. I have been going between doing NNP and PNP. However, since working in the NICU I realized that I would not want to be...

Thanks for your response. Like you I have worked with adults before and have no intentions on ever going back. I guess a part of me wants to do FNP because I know its instant job security but I know my heart would not be in it. I really love working...

Yes cliniclas are in Jackson, Brookhaven, and Vicksburg. I have a fall schedule right here and I can tell you how the BSN classes will run. Pharmacology Thursday 10-12 Nursing Infromatics I Thursday 8-10 Therapeutic Communications Thursday 1-3 o...

Hi Kathy, Finally someone who is going to Alcorn in the fall too. :rotfl: I will be going into the ADN program this upcoming fall. I am from Natchez. Will you be staying on campus or do you plan on driving everyday? Congrats on your acceptance! ...

i am accepted to alcorn school of nursing for the fall 2005 semester! go braves! class of 2007! :balloons:

I plan on getting my CPR license at the end of this month through the local red cross. A friend of mine who went through the program told me it is only one day, is this sufficient? How long did your CPR training last?

Thanks everyone for your help. :)

I agree with sunnyjohn if all esle fails try the ADN program and then do the bridge to the BSN. That is what I am doing and the best thing about it all of the bridge program will be offered on-line. If you're really desperate you can move to Mississ...

Thanks for your input. :) I will call the nurse recruiters Thursday. Kay

HI, I will be starting nursing school in the fall and I am considering taking a loan repayment scholarship for a hospital in MS which will pay form my whole two years of nursing school and in return I will work for them for two years. I could use t...

Alcorn offers both ADN and BSN programs. Maybe the class is combined with another it is the only logical explanation. I will check into that.

Yeah that would be a great idea; however, I have been looking over the curriculum for my ADN program and I don't think they offer a pharmacology class. Is this common practice for most ADN programs not to offer pharmacology? :uhoh21: KAY

Congrats! I am waiting on my acceptance letter from Alcorn School of Nursing. They said it will be after April 15th most likely May before I hear anything. UhHH I don't think I can wait that long! Kay

I am sure you all have mentioned this a thousand times but what materials do I need for nursing school besides my books? About how much will this stuff cost?

Thank you all for your help and time you all are very helpful. However, I have decided that nursing while it is a great field is not right for me. After reading all the pros and cons of nursing and doing extensive researh in the field, an witnessing ...

How many nursing schools did you all apply to? I plan on applying to three. Is this good enough? Nurse Kay

Thanks nursepearl. I am sorry I didn't make myself clear but I ment how much did you pay for the extra supplies.

Thanks you all for your help. I thought maybe I was being over reactive by applying to more than one school.

Hi Mtn Man, I wish choices was that simple for me. I talked to the Director of Nursing at a School in my hometown today and she told me that she cant accpet all of my pre-nursing credits! How sucky. Unfortunately, I have only one in state school th...

Thanks! Wow I couldn't imagine going that far into math. What was your first degree in?

I just took my firs A&P I exam and I knocked that sucker out! :roll My other classe (Computer App. and Sociology) are a cake walk for me while on the other hand I am not fairing to well in Collge Algebra. Is anyone else having trouble in Colleg...

Thanks for the encouragemnt! I am only attending school full time and I am in the process of job hunting. I was hoping for work study again but my pell grant covered my tuition so there was no need for work study. Of course I will keep you posted...

USM has the lowest pass rate in the state for BSN and has the nerve enough to require such a time consuming thing as CNA as a pre-req.
