  1. BA to ADN to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

    paco386, if you do a little more looking you might agree with me that the Entry MSN (EMSN) programs are basically [ABSN+MSN] ; regular MSN programs for those already RNs generally only take 1.5-2...

  2. RN to BSN online

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

    It seems like most of the RN>BSN programs require some project that requires you to arrange for shadowing of an RN manager or charge RN. None of them seem to require full-on clinicals with full pt...

  3. RN to BSN online

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

    You guys highlight a very important point, actually two important points: 1) getting transcript eval for transferable courses in writing is only PART of the battle (I disagree that it is always...

  4. RN to BSN online

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

    Good due diligence. Any school can give you figures and then once you get in require you to take an additional semester of coursework to complete their program's "graduation requirements". Some...

  5. RN to BSN Distance Listings Programs

    mmm333 replied to Snoopynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've heard some good things on the boards about Thomas Edison State College (TESC) accredited by both NLNAC & CCNE. They seem very flexible with admissions for those ready to "jump" right into a...

  6. Quick Tip for ANYONE considering nursing in the military

    mmm333 replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks pooh. And there you have it folks. If you want to go military, make sure you are talking to the right people and have a clear idea of where you intend to go. Don't believe that as an enlisted...

  7. Quick Tip for ANYONE considering nursing in the military

    mmm333 replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    A couple aspects I forgot to mention: ADN grads find themselves considering enlisting in some cases since the military doesn't take RNs as officers with less than BSN or MSN. I would be really...

  8. RN to BSN online

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

    I'm a military vet, taking NCLEX right now, need a BSN ASAP to go back into the military as an RN... I need to find an RN>BSN program that is all of the following if possible: 1) rolling admission...

  9. Mnemonic for spinal nerves???

    mmm333 replied to ashemson's topic in General Students

    SPINAL Nerves S=sensory , M= motor, B= both ; Mnemonic= Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Business Makes

  10. BA to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow. With backgrounds in business and CS it's pretty obvious that you guys might be future managers, researchers, or informatics people (after doing your hard time to transition from new grad to...

  11. Nursing in Afghanistan, Iraq etc

    mmm333 replied to deannicholas's topic in International Nursing

    Well, since the original thread Iraq has stabilized a great deal and presence has expanded to other countries in the area. It wouldn't surprise me if opportunities in Iraq became more and more...

  12. BA to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People coming into nursing shouldn't jettison their past learning. The profession needs a fertile bed of interdisciplinary substance to draw ideas from and to complement practice and research. Anyone...

  13. South University MSN programs

    mmm333 replied to Barinbass's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't trust this school based on my interactions thus far. I did not appreciate the sales-type approach they directed at me and found their recalcitrance regarding MSN bridges and the BSN insulting....

  14. Any online Pharm and Pathophysio classes for ABSN at Samuel Merritt College?

    mmm333 replied to icing9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    U Nebraska and Samuel Merritt are great ways to take these classes if you can. Some of the community colleges are so geared toward their currently enrolled students or program participants that they...

  15. South University MSN programs

    mmm333 replied to Barinbass's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If the ACCN recs go through for 2015 NPs will have to be "in practice by 2015". This kills the dream for many people considering the NP path who haven't started and don't have years of experience...

  16. South University MSN programs

    mmm333 replied to Barinbass's topic in Post Graduate Students

    South University isn't hospitable to those who have a BA and wish to move on toward the MSN via the BA>RN>MSN route. They said over the phone that "all programs in the country require completion...

  17. If almost done with a MSN in 2015, grandfathered in?

    mmm333 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The answer to this question is "probably not", but depends on several variables. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) recommendation is required reading for anybody wondering about...

  18. Nursing in Saudi Arabia

    mmm333 replied to arak1547's topic in General World

    I spent years in Bahrain and Oman and am now graduating from a nursing program. I will be honored if I have the chance to live and work in one of the Gulf States again. The nurse who goes there must...

  19. South University Associate degree in Nursing through online program

    mmm333 replied to bumsha's topic in General Students

    The Associate's Degree in Nursing (ADN) used to be the gold standard for entry into the nursing profession. Due to the shortage of nurses, it still is. However, with the advances in science and...

  20. Kaplan NCLEX-RN review course

    mmm333 replied to Nickie789's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Immediately the following variables come to mind: - The learner's amount of self-discipline (can you complete Saunders first in about 10 days- push yourself to build this stamina before paying for a...

  21. RN student - can I challenge the LVN/LPN NCLEX?

    mmm333 replied to Jusrovin's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Spot on. I had a BA degree and didn't bother to complete the "Associate's Degree" program (requiring two more non-nursing classes in California Government and something else). So I just completed the...

  22. Nursing in Afghanistan, Iraq etc

    mmm333 replied to deannicholas's topic in International Nursing

    Interesting. More power to you if you can find short tours like that and gain the experience. I hope you let us know what you

  23. How do you deal with a rude co-worker?

    mmm333 replied to MobileNurseSara's topic in General Nursing

    In any other professional setting this would be completely unacceptable. I'm a new transplant to the healthcare sector and I was aghast when I saw what people get away with in hospitals of all places....

  24. Nursing in Afghanistan, Iraq etc

    mmm333 replied to deannicholas's topic in International Nursing

    Indeed. It sounds like the original poster was lied to/ duped with exaggerations by a friend of a friend or friend's friend, possibly with a little wishful thinking involved in the process. So far, we...

  25. Nursing in Afghanistan, Iraq etc

    mmm333 replied to deannicholas's topic in International Nursing

    Right after 2001 perhaps, but supply of labor rising to meet that demand (and the corresponding high pay) inevitably drives down prices/wages. I hear the sound of old myths and wishful thinking...
