2. Curious about psych nursing

   creamyitalian replied to RN_lor's topic in Psychiatric

   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 problem that pops up. Then there are medical hospi...

3. Why does Chamberlain's online RN-BSN seem to different?

   Thanks for the reply. It seems like a great option to look into for the future.

4. Why does Chamberlain's online RN-BSN seem to different?

   creamyitalian posted a topic in Online Learning

   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 nursing credits and half are general ed. The gene...

   So how are you new students doing so far?

   Hey Nicole. The summer flew by for me, I hope yours has been fun. But I'm not dreading going back to school at all, it should be a good experience this year. Still need to buy all those books though. See ya in a couple weeks. And ya small world Jill....

   creamyitalian replied to 48mystic's topic in Rhode Island

   In first semester you are assigned to a clinical professor and either group A (thurs) or group B (fri), you don't get to choose. I was in group B so I had clinical on Friday, which meant I had to pick up my assignment on thursday (after 1230) and I h...

8. St. Joe's Tuition

   creamyitalian replied to 48mystic's topic in Rhode Island

   I don't think CCRI will take any nursing credits from St. Joe's but that fact is you wouldn't want to do that anyway. There is no point in getting an ASN if you have graduated from a diploma program like St Joes. No employer would ever consider St. J...

9. St. Joe's Tuition

   creamyitalian replied to 48mystic's topic in Rhode Island

   Hey there Mystic, I was in the same boat as you when I got into St. Joe's, worried about how much it would cost. But to be honest, the cost of an education should not stand in the way of getting that education. The tuition for my first year was 7300 ...

    creamyitalian replied to 48mystic's topic in Rhode Island

    It was the last week of August for us. You can do CPR before school starts or during the first few weeks. I took it at Fatima Hospital the second week of school, it was a pretty short class, no biggie. If you take it elsewhere, make sure it is an Ame...

    Wow I wasn't aware of that, everyone in my class took Nutrition together. Maybe it is a new thing, I'll have to look at my handbook when I get home. Geez, it looks like you will have a pretty calm first semester!

    creamyitalian replied to 48mystic's topic in Rhode Island

    Well, like I said, you might be able to switch your lab time if you're lucky and possibly switch your clinical day too if you really need either thursday or friday off. But the school has a policy where they don't care about your job or other obligat...

    creamyitalian replied to 48mystic's topic in Rhode Island

    Glad I could help. I don't think it would matter all that much if you took micro or ethics this summer. You'd probably feel better getting micro out of the way though. That is the only "pre-req" or "elective" or whatever you want to call it that I ha...

    creamyitalian replied to 48mystic's topic in Rhode Island

    I love St. Joes. I obviously can't compare it to other programs but it does have a great rep and I can tell you that the teachers are great for the most part. First semester was basically like this: Monday: Nursing 8:30-11:30 Tuesday: Nutrition 12:3...
