OMG! I am a 40 year old new nurse who graduated in 2008. I read your post and thought you are my twin! The funny thing is that I do have a twin but you can be my triplett!. I am so scattered at work myself and it is depressing to me. I look at everyone else and they seem so calm and together. Me- I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off! I am seriously thinking of starting to take some med like ritalin, My son was diagnosed with ADD and I KNOW that I have had it all of my life. I am just curious if you were taking a med that worked for you. Good luck to you!

I wasn't the original poster of this question. But, I would greatly appreciate it if you can send a copy to my email as well. [email protected] I would be eternally grateful.

Have you already started your program? I am hoping getting the BSN will not be as hard as getting the RN License. Nursing school was stressful for me. I was hoping that getting the BSN would be less pressure. I mean, if I fail a class at least I still have my RN license. I was under the understanding the classes were pretty much term papers and no tests in the beginning.

Be cool like us! Join us! Everyone's doing it!

It really didn't take long at all. I applied online with the application on the Chatham website. Shortly after, I received an email telling me to have my official transcript from my nursing school and from college over 15 years ago. (even though my major then was a BA in spanish. I don't see how any of the classes relate to nursing.) You'll be alright with just having your transcript sent to Chatham. You will get an acceptance letter and a request to send a $100 enrollment fee to hold your place for the Spring Session A or whatever session is available. I am seriously going to eat the costs because the earlier I get my BSN, the quicker I can get moved up on the pay scale. It will be worth it in the long run for me. Good luck to you!

Hi! I just recently was accepted into Chatham's RN-BSN program. I am sending in my enrollment information and deposit check tomorrow. I am not sure what to put: fulltime or partime. Is fulltime the 7 week classes? I want to get the BSN as fast as I can but I may have to go part-time because my employee may not reimburse me until I have been at my job for a year (July 9th is my 1 year anniversary.) I am tempted to just eat the costs and just go for it at fulltime. Has anyone talked to anybody about going fulltime or partime? It would be great to have a Chatham message board of people starting the RN-BSN program in January 2009.:typing

Newbie here as well. I am slaying the NCLEX dragon on Sept. 9th. I wanted to take in August but that was the earliest I can get! Good luck to you! Please let us know what you thought of the test!

I don't think you have to pay at all. I was able to click and save a whole bunch of things onto my computer. THen, I printed them. I thought it was all good too.

hi! i've been a stalker of this thread for a couple of weeks now. here is the information from the website mentioned before regarding infection control. i hear that is being heavily questioned on the nclex this year. i still have not received my clearance to test yet. my plan is take the nclex before the end of august. http://two.xthost.info/pinoynurse1/review%20notes%20in%20infection%20control%20-%20nclex.pdf good luck everyone! does anyone have a list of infections and what categories they would be in?
