The Wisconsin technical system offers almost all of the core nursing classes on line. Has anyone taken them online? What are your experiences, thoughts, etc.? I have taken many on line classes before and have always had wonderful experiences with ...

bellin is a very good nursing school, no wait lists. a great way to get in and get your nursing degree without all the frustration of the tech school wait lists and their constant changing pre-reqs. however bellin is very expensive. i would live t...

Thanks for the info. I will take your advise and contact my local hospitals regarding internships.

i know this is several months after these posts were made but i have a couple of ?'s....you said that you just graduated from excelsior and you are teaching yourself how to be a nurse because you were not a nurse before. don't you have to be an lpn/...

I currently have my BA in business. I have been struggling the CC to get my pre-reqs for their nursing program, they keep changing the requirements, so I feel like I have constant set backs. The LPN program is a lot simpler, they do not have as many...

In the first year of the ADN program at FVTC about how much time is spent in clinicals? What time of day do the clinicals typically take place? I am just basically wondering if I would be able to work part time and ballance school. I know I can ta...

Thank you for your reply, that helps a lot! :)

I am just curious what the starting pay is for a new RN in the Appleton, Green Bay, and Oshkosh areas for Labor and Delivery. This would be nice to know so I don't get all the way throught the program, and then realize, I'm not making as much as I ho...

That is really disappointing given the national average. I would not mind working for a staffing co. such as PRN though and I know they pay more, I assume I would need some experience of 1-2 years before they would hire me.

I knew about the 1-2 years of experience. I do plan on getting a nursing job at a local hospital and then start traveling from there. Thanks for the info. :)

i have been looking into this and found a company called american mobile healthcare. http://www.americanmobile.com/jobsearchresult.aspx just wondering if anybody has any comments about this company, good or bad? any other ideas for traveling compani...

I am currently taking General Chemistry which is required to get accepted into the Nursing program and get on the wait list. I am doing ok in it. I have a B average right now and need to pass with a C or better, so I think I will make it. My questi...

Anyone take this class on line through any of the WI Tech schools? I know they offer this online and just wondering if there are any pros or cons to taking this online as opposed to in the classroom.

Thank you for the suggestions. I took many on line classes while getting my BA, so I think I will try A&P online. I think if I can pass this class I can pass it online. One question though....why does everyone say that A&P is so hard? Isn...

Thanks for the reply. So do you get to pretty much go where you want? What types of places have you been to so far? Are the accommodations that they put you in really nice? Do you know if there is a lot of job location options with American Mobil...

I will keep you posted. I don't have my pearson vue exam scheduled yet, I have my final on Tuesday, we will get our registraton for the certification then. I am so looking forward to Aug. 1st, last day of Chem!!!

Thanks for the info. I will look into other companies as well. :nuke:

The time frame for the class you outlined is the norm. The CNA class is not at all difficult as long as you enjoy being very "hands on" with people, just very time consuming. The clinical portion is generally done in a nursing home environment so y...

My clinicals are going really well. I have two left. I am excited for them to be over though, I am exhausted! This fall I am taking Gen A&P as well, I am taking it on line through Moraine Park Tech. I am also taking Bio Chem at NWTC, I'm takin...

Thanks for the advise. My first clinical went well on Thursday. I had to give a bed bath to a Man which I was dreading, but it went well and I wasn't at all as squeamish as I thought I would be. Some of the clients there are so sweet it is just he...

I see what you are saying about the cost of living, and you are probably right in the nursing field. However I worked in CA in the job I do now in the insurance industry and I actually made more in WI than I did in CA...go figure!

Thank you everyone for all your posts. I cannot tell you how releived I am! Gen. Chem is really a struggle. It is nice to now that if I can pass Gen. Chem, I should not have a problem with BioChem!

That is really disappointing. I moved to WI from CA and nurses out there are starting out anywere from 60-80K/year. I hear that because there are so many nursing schools in WI espeshially the GB and Fox Valley areas we don't have a shortage of nurs...

I am in the CNA class at NWTC right now. It ends on July 22nd. I start my clinicals at Green Bay Mental Health this Thursday. I plan on getting on the wait list for the ADN program this fall. I have heard nothing but good things about the program...

I plan on applying this September for both the full and part time ADN programs. I have been told that I should apply for both programs at the same time. Apparently there is a 1-2 year wait for the part time program and a 2-3 year wait for the full ti...
