  1. Associates or Diploma which is better?

    TheSquire replied to studentkate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed, BSN>ADN>Diploma. That said, this sounds like you should ask this question in the appropriate state nursing programs forum (located under the "Region" tab) to get some advice from people...

  2. accreditations?

    TheSquire replied to worldonastrng's topic in General Students

    After asking the Google machine, you'll find that the two accrediting organizations are the NLNAC and the CCNE. As long as at least one accredits the program, you should be set on that

  3. How can I make application attractive for ABSN?

    TheSquire replied to Saflanut's topic in General Students

    I was admitted to a grad-entry program, which is similar to your situation in that it is a second-degree program. My undergrad major was in Molecular and Cellular Biology with a GPA of 3.6. At the...

  4. Need help with Remington tuition!

    TheSquire replied to mprzetoc's topic in General Students

    The grammar for your question is poor, so I'm not quite sure what you're asking; I think you're asking if there are any government loans out there besides the FAFSA, which tells me you're not quite up...

  5. Clinicals on the unit you work on?

    TheSquire replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    Part of the point of clinical rotations is to expose you to different work environments, not only in different types of floors, but at different institutions as well. If you're working on that unit,...

  6. Nursing School with High acceptance rate? (4 year programs)

    TheSquire replied to micahleigha's topic in General Students

    My understanding is that a high acceptance rate correlates with high dropout/low completion rates as the weeding-out process takes place in the first couple terms rather than in the admissions...

  7. Transfer one BSN program to another

    TheSquire replied to seastar123's topic in California Nursing

    Sounds like you should either ask this question in the CA Nursing Programs board (located under the "Region" tab) or hope a helpful staffperson will move the post for you. As for transferring - good...

  8. Future of Associate programs and RN to BSN programs

    TheSquire replied to RB2000's topic in General Students

    UVA Grad Nursing largely hits the nail on the head - just 'cos Rutgers decided to do something, doesn't mean everyone's going that route. Further, there have been position papers flying around...

  9. DePaul's MENP questions

    TheSquire replied to bcxllady's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Short answer: Yes. Longer and possibly more helpful answer: It really depends on what your priorities are. A lot gets crammed into the first quarter at DePaul (and at any nursing school, as far as I...

  10. Robert Morris (Chicago) Nursing

    TheSquire replied to vladak86's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The first I'd heard of the program was earlier this week when I saw someone in their mongrammed scrubs riding the L. Now I know

  11. Ascites, and third spacing

    TheSquire replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My understanding is that the First/Second spaces are in the vasculature (cardiovascular and lymphatic) and intracellular spaces, where fluid is supposed to be. The "third" space is all the other...

  12. Tx board of nursing

    TheSquire replied to philly fresh's topic in General Students

    Sounds like a Texas-specific issue. Go to the Texas Nursing Programs board (under the "Region" tab) and ask

  13. need help concerning the accelerate BSN programme

    TheSquire replied to FOLAYEMI's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's a novel idea: CALL THE SCHOOL AND

  14. What to wear to interview??

    TheSquire replied to momtomany's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you were a guy, I'd say a sport coat and tie at bare minimum, if not the traditional black suit. I'll let you translate that to the female equivalent. By the way, what's a

  15. Will hopsitals pay for nursing school?

    TheSquire replied to jcd091988's topic in General Students

    It depends where you are, and whether there is a regional glut or deficit of nurses. Around me, lots of hospitals have done away with the tuition reimbursement programs or have made the conditions a...

  16. Ascites, and third spacing

    TheSquire replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So, Ascites is but one manifestation of thirdspacing, as was my understanding, or is it something different? And, as follow-up to your explanation, does the decision on whether or not to remove fluid...

  17. We need a hat!

    TheSquire replied to K.P.A.'s topic in Male Nursing Students

    Now all we need are scrub pants with belt

  18. What color lab tube do I need for a test?

    TheSquire replied to txoldiebutgoodie's topic in General Students

    Call the lab and

  19. nursing schools

    TheSquire replied to michele6608's topic in General Students

    There are also MS degrees in General Nursing that are offered to second-degree students looking to become nurses, as well as Direct-Entry MSN programs that kick you out as an APN. However, those...

  20. ATI assessment and testing modules??

    TheSquire replied to misslisa's topic in General Students

    Really? They're not so bad. Other than the Med-Surg test, my strategy has been to take each practice test once (getting at least a 60-something on it), retaking one of the practice tests 'til I get...

  21. ATI assessment and testing modules??

    TheSquire replied to misslisa's topic in General Students

    They cover the fees for the tests as well as the ATI review books and dvds. However, you're paying significantly more than I did. Either my program subsidizes the cost of the ATI heavily, or you're...

    TheSquire replied to philly fresh's topic in General Students

    Your pronoun lacks an antecedent. Please clarify your thoughts and try

  23. MSN-Direct Entry

    TheSquire replied to melmarie23's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Go ask this in the CA Nursing Programs forum under the "Region"

  24. Black stethoscopes for everyone

    TheSquire replied to sunkissed75's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Well, ideally, before you ordered it from allheart.com you should have had it engraved with your

  25. Sticky Please: Every state now has a "Nursing Programs Discussion" forum

    TheSquire posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So as not to clutter the general forums with super-specific threads that the majority of the site couldn't care less about, it would be appreciated if everyone could put their threads about Big...
