It really depends on the hospital. I work at a psychiatric hospital that really does nothing medical, pts are sent out to the ER of a nearby medical hospital to be cleared or to be seen for a medical...
After researching Chamberlain College of Nursing on their website, it appears you only need 48 credits to graduate (plus the 80 they grant you for having the RN for a total of 128). Half of the 48 are...
