  1. Career Advice

    06CaliforniaRN replied to HeartNursing3's topic in Research

    I was a bedside nurse for a little less than 2 years, and just recently made the switch to Research Nursing. Bedside nursing and research nursing both leave something to be desired. That being said,...

    06CaliforniaRN replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I work at the east Baltimore campus but from what I know Bayview has a full range of services/units. By no means is it a rehab facility or "sub acute". It is the adult burn center for Maryland, has a...

    06CaliforniaRN replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    So I just hit the 4 month mark of being unemployed since graduating nursing school. With 100s of applications submitted and what seems like even more of rejections, I started to let myself consider...

    Morg- Congrats on the interview offer! Depending on if you do "share time" or not in the ER you will need to bring scrubs and proper shoes. As far as what else to bring? On the Hopkins nursing site...

    06CaliforniaRN replied to Infermero's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad myself, but one of the nurses I worked with said she started out in home health and found it to be very valuable. In her own words..."Let's just say by the time I got a hospital RN job...

    Scarlettanager- I had a similar issue when I got my primary interest e-mail. I couldn't remember what type of pediatric unit I applied for. I told them my main interest was in ped's med-surg, followed...

    06CaliforniaRN replied to sbostonRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I've been biting my nails lately, so maybe someone can calm my nerves over this. I got the "primary interest" e-mail from JHH on Friday in response to my application for a peds position (which I...

    I want to say it took about 2 weeks for me to get my transcript evaluation. I thought I'd have a problem with my nutrition class and my human development since my nutrition class was only 3 credits...

    Awesome. I think I am going to take it through American Public University, their course dates work the best for me. Good luck with your ethics

    uscdg: will drexel accept Excelsior credits? I know it's kind of a unique program, that's why I'm wondering. I came across it (it looks great), but even on their website they mention that not all...

    06CaliforniaRN replied to ilovelearning's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Can someone please recommend a good (average intensity) online ethics class to take? I need to drop the one I'm in now, it's awful, plain and simple. I need to take it this summer (I'm attending the...

  16. Accelerated BSN at Valparaiso

    06CaliforniaRN replied to careerswap's topic in Indiana Nursing

    Smuffins- I think it's regular tuition (4 semesters worth), which I think when I added it up came out to about $42,000 or more, but that was purely my calculations. It could just be a flat cost, I...

  17. Accelerated BSN at Valparaiso

    06CaliforniaRN replied to careerswap's topic in Indiana Nursing

    smuffins- I decided not to go, I got an offer from Drexel University which starts later, is a shorter program, and lower cost, plus it is in a big metropolitan area near many other cities, so I think...

    XLFord - Thanks! Can you (or anyone else) point me in the direction of who to call? I feel like every time I try and call I get told to call a different department where no one picks up the phone. I...

    Is CLEP an option? I didn't realize it was, but that would be awesome, I took a higher level sociology class, which won't cover the intro

    For those who have been accepted and have submitted their deposit... Have you gotten anything back yet? I mailed my deposit in almost 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything, I expected to get some...

    06CaliforniaRN replied to ilovelearning's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm under the impression that most of the decisions did take more than two weeks. It took four weeks for mine. I have a feeling it depends on whether or not your transcripts are coming from the same...

    According to their (One Franklin Town) site, a one bedroom starts at $1165 and goes up to $1647. The price for a two bedroom isn't listed as there aren't any available right now. I've seen some places...

    06CaliforniaRN replied to ilovelearning's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for the insight! One Franklin town definitely looks amazing, but it would be double the cost of splitting a two bedroom in a nice, but less fancy apartment or home elsewhere. I mainly want to...
