S.N. Visit BSN, RN

I was taught in nursing school, after removing the EMLA cream, to use Povidone-Iodine first in a circular motion from inner to outer using 3 circles, then use alcohol prep to remove the Iodine in same manner. Recently I went to a con-ed class, an...

These are the kinds of questions you will have on the NCLEX. Don't over analyze..Try a Saunders book...

Hands down.... Nursing school was more stressful for me, than working full time as a registered nurse.

For me.......Yes, with the exception of clinicals.

I am currently in school for dual BSN/MSN , work full time and have 3 kids and a hubby. Getting the ADN was far more difficult for studying / focusing and that was without being employed! All my community college credits transfered to Graceland U...

I've been a Case Manager for over one year now. I still go out into the field & visit all my patients at least q.o.w., but mostly weekly. I do wound Vac's , dressing changes, Sterile Central line dressing changes, Access Ports, blood draws, C...

I know Iowa and Florida especially rural areas have the lowest pay for nurses. Unfortunatley $17 an hour to start is not uncommon in this area. For a retired nurse or a stay at home mom wanting to return to nursing for a few hours a day might take ...

I'm on my 3rd online class (Earning ADN- BSN/MSN). So far, the material is no more difficult than the ADN. I have taken Chemistry, Statistics, and now I'm in the middle of Ethics. I truly feel the ethics class is an entire waste of my time. All I...

I do find $12.00 to be very insulting for an RN job,however if the benefits are superior they might make up for the low wage. I took a $7.00 per hour cut to make $17.00 per hour at my current job. I have no call, no week-ends, no nights, but als...

I have officically accepted an offer to attend the RN-MSN online program at Graceland University, fall 2010. The admission process was like getting into Fort Knox with all the paperwork requirements. Any other Yellow Jackets here?

I'm an ADN currently in progress of earning my BSN/MSN. My advice is, if it's free take it! I predict the longer you wait, the more expensive it will be.

I hate 12's! esp overnight 12's.....I am currently working Mon-Fri 8a-4:30p. I have 3 busy kids, this works out so much better for my family. It also helps I do home Health care , so my schedule is even more flexible. I wouldn't want to go to an...

Literature by Women.......

I've used my lab and drug handbooks on more than one occasion since I graduated in 07'.

Home Health.....

This is not true. I am an ADN, RN, currently in the ADN-MSN program at Graceland University, Lamoni , Iowa. I was also accepted into other RN-MSN programs.

That's wonderful news!! Best of luck

I don't know , but it is a dream of mine to live there! Best of luck

I'm from Iowa, so I get In state tuition & they transfered all my C.C credits. I haven't been acquainted with any recent Graceland grads that I'm aware of, however I have a friend that is a year or so ahead of me in the program. My best fr...

Now this wasn't a call in, but a refusal of a request to take an extra shift on my day off...I had just gotten a fresh spray tan and couldn't wash my hands for 24hrs...I was told by the Nsg secretary that was the most unique excuse she's ever heard....

I applied in March, and heard back on June 28th.....I start Aug 30th....

I work Mon-Fri, 8am-4:30p in Home health care. I can take days or rearrange my schedule to be off to see my kids sports, plays, run to Dr.' Dentist appointments or take sick days. I :redbeathe this schedule since I have 3 extremely active kids. ...

I was 30yrs old when I enrolled in my first pre-req class. It took me 4yrs to go less than part time to achieve my ADN.

If you are wanting to save money, I would suggest doing the ADN route, then bridge to BSN or MSN. However, Community Colleges are extremely competitive and there is a chance you would be wait listed. Might as well stay with BSN program if you are i...

I habitually pass out towards the end of the donation. Tried it x3 and was asked not to do any further donations. I was told if they couldn't fill the bag, they had to dispose of my blood. Feel bad since I'm O neg.
