  1. scrubs and emt pants

    mmm333 replied to mmm333's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Great then you can invest in scrubs that you can use later after

  2. scrubs and emt pants

    mmm333 replied to mmm333's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    haha I'm guessing you were military. I remember those chores. These EMT pants had elastic waist, but not too tight, and a drawstring. They were as comfortable as fatigues. Too bad they stopped making...

  3. Discrimination Against Men in Nursing

    mmm333 replied to Demonsthenes's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've seen discrimination in both directions. Example of the good: A nursing instructor saying "you're a guy so you'll have no problem finding work (during a class discussion of the need to strive for...

  4. Samuel Merritt ABSN 2010 Admissions - San Francisco, Oakland, San Mateo

    mmm333 replied to BNice74's topic in California Nursing

    I do have a BA degree from UC. I also have an ADN. I know it's hard to understand, but I need to get a BSN because the military doesn't give any regard to either my BA or my ADN, and the only program...

  5. Failed ADN program, now trying for BSN

    mmm333 replied to blessed2bfree's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have posted this question somewhere else, but wondering if I can apply to an accelerated BSN program (entry level program) if I already have a BA degree + an ADN degree in nursing. Yes, you heard...

  6. Samuel Merritt ABSN 2010 Admissions - San Francisco, Oakland, San Mateo

    mmm333 replied to BNice74's topic in California Nursing

    This is a really odd question, but trust me, I have a good reason for asking it. If I have completed an ADN program but not yet taken NCLEX, can I apply to an accelerated BSN program at Samuel...

  7. CSU Dominguez Hills Online RN to BSN

    mmm333 replied to edwardla, RN's topic in California Nursing

    I was looking at this program but recently many new grad programs and military programs have stated specifically that they will not accept ANY online programs for RN-BSN.

  8. For those thinking about becoming a second career nurse

    mmm333 replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    Rest assured that she will either fall apart during the nursing program, or she'll learn and grow from it. In either case you probably won't hear the mouth flap forever. Nursing school is not that...

    "I didn't know I'd have to take all this science junk" .... I hear cosmetology is taking

  10. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sorry you had that experience. That's odd that people have had different experiences with transcript evaluation at Chamberlain. It seems like you should make it understood upfront that you will need a...

  11. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    U. Wyoming seems to be playing the "extra credits" game. It makes me nervous. I'm looking into Fort Hayes, Indiana State, Texas Tech U, and U Texas-Arlington right now. Haven't checked Ohio State...

  12. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Imagine if they put this decision in PRINT in a formal letter. Dear applicant, Your admission has been placed on hold due to your apparent lack of seriousness. I would be tempted to threaten them...

  13. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    U Wyoming looks like they force you to take "U.S. & Wyoming Constitution" and "Public Speaking" no matter what. They explicitly state on their website that regardless of one's prior level of...

  14. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think you've done a very good job at being assertive and remembering that these private schools are businesses first and foremost. Yes you may have touched a nerve by revealing their hand, but you...

  15. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In California if you have a prior BS or BA degree from another field, then there are significant limitations on what they can force you to take at a state school's BSN program. Not sure about other...

  16. RN to BSN online

    mmm333 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks Sarah, that's the kind of inside info we've been looking for. How quickly can one finish the program with proper planning? If I can find a suitable program I might make all the timelines that...

  17. Meg Whitman addresses the CA nursing shortage

    mmm333 replied to orange juice's topic in California Nursing

    I just graduated from nursing school and I'm not even taking NCLEX because I already changed careers again! The world changes too fast for words, doesn't

  18. BA to ADN to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

    @paco : Yes that Columbia program sounds great for you but any BSN will get you ready to do your MSN. As for financial aid, leave no stone unturned as some states have separate funding available to...

  19. There is no nursing shortage!

    mmm333 replied to fizz2Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you almost wholeheartedly... but these bills don't die entirely by themselves. It takes resistance! Imagine the damage this bill would do to American RNs (particularly on the West Coast)...

  20. There is no nursing shortage!

    mmm333 replied to fizz2Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    3 months is not adequate to learn "fluent" 日本語。　I studied for 4 years and I am not close to fluent. For starters, tｈｅｒｅ is no way to learn 4000 or more Kanji in that time. Not to...

  21. There is no nursing shortage!

    mmm333 replied to fizz2Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    According to the Department of Labor, the current national nursing shortage exceeds 126,000. This number is misleading because it does not take into account those who have RN licenses and are...

  22. Meg Whitman addresses the CA nursing shortage

    mmm333 replied to orange juice's topic in California Nursing

    oh my Gosh, JustMe... hardly anyone could have put it much better than that. This truthfornurses website is almost Orwellian in its capacity for obfuscation and misleading hyperbole. It's almost as...

  23. Meg Whitman addresses the CA nursing shortage

    mmm333 replied to orange juice's topic in California Nursing

    That website is paid for and made by Meg Whitman's political machine, to push the agenda of the the bigwigs that want to bring in nurses from overseas (India, China, etc.) and dismantle the existing...

  24. Meg Whitman addresses the CA nursing shortage

    mmm333 replied to orange juice's topic in California Nursing

    California has a nursing shortage? None of the new grads can find jobs! How is producing more new grads going to help? We need to create new jobs- we already have plenty of unemployed

  25. BA to ADN to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

    Congratulations. You are one of the very few people in line with NLNAC's previous recommendation that new nurses be MSN-prepared. Eventually the MSN will be the entry point for RNs, though it may be...
