I'm not going to CSU, but if your screen name is your real name, you need to change that ASAP. Just an internet safety tip.

One thing you might want to check out is how the MIECHV job is funded. If it's a grant-funded position, I would not leave your current job, given that you are still in a new grad residency program. Grants expire and may not get re-funded. This has...

Pima appears to be a community college, so your OP confuses me. Are you ineligible to take prerequisite courses because you need to take developmental education courses first? If so, go to the Academic Counseling Department at Pima and ask them to ...

The programs are comparable. If you aren't doing well at Tri-C, you may not do well at LCCC. They use NCLEX-style questions, too. Before you go and jump ship, have you seen the nursing tutors? Have you taken a learning inventory to find out your ...

I'm in a different state, but the pharmacy-based clinics (such as CVS MinuteClinic) here use FNPs. Maybe you could shadow one of them? Also, if there are FNP programs near you, call them up and ask if they can help you locate an alumnus to shadow.

If your name truly is "A. Ramos," you need to change your screen name, especially if you are posting comments about hospitals that could be construed as negative. And, "nszucs," the same goes for you. Your screen name is dangerously close to your r...

Go to Background check information for Tri-C Health Career programs: Cleveland OH and scroll down until you see the "Program Specific BCI Information" area for Nursing. Click on that and read the document. If you are still confused, call the Divisi...

I would decline for all of the reasons the previous posters have given you, but also for an additional one: it may put your school's accreditation at risk. If you are teaching in any way, shape, or form, you would be considered as "faculty" by the ...

Moderators: Please move this to the Ohio forum.

Sent you a PM.

It is my understanding that you'd have to declare Kentucky as your primary state of residence in order to be eligible for a multistate license through compact licensure.

Samantha, You aren't getting the answers you need because you aren't asking the right people. It's not your fault; it's just that there are only certain people in Counseling who understand the admission process. May I make a suggestion? Call the Nur...

While I respect LPNs, the current situation is that hospitals are not hiring LPNs, are requiring them to become RNs as a condition of continuing employment, or are demoting their LPNs to PCNA status/pay if they do not become RNs. Besides, being an LP...

No, RN0408, I'm not a professor, but good guess and thanks for playing! I stand by my original statement.

You were given the standard response from the BON. One other thing to note is that you will still need to divulge all of this when you apply to take the NCLEX exam, even if your record was expunged. The "Guide" gave you good advice. And, since you a...

If you are looking at an accelerated nursing program in Cleveland, you might also want to consider Cleveland State University. Most of the hospitals in Cleveland have magnet status and it will be easier to find a job post-graduation if you have a BS...

You'll start clinicals during N1450, the first clinical course, usually during the second week. Yes, it does matter which program you are in for clinicals. Day students will typically have day clinicals, but it is likely that you will have at least...

chloesmoma: You misunderstood my post and took offense where none was meant.

Please do not refer to Tri-C as having a "waitlist." Tri-C has rolling admissions and students are placed into the program as they are ready. Yes, Tri-C is placing for Fall 2015, but that really isn't a long time, considering that we are already in...

Wow, that was one long sentence! The spring semester just began, so the program managers have been focused on making sure the current students are placed in clinical sites and that they've hired enough faculty to cover them. You can call the office...

You might do better posting this in the Nursing/Recovery forum under "General: Nurses." Click on the "nurses" tab at the top of the page. I really have difficulty believing that you can't find anyone to do a psych eval; have you tried teaching hosp...

The first semester is N1300, Health Assessment, a non-clinical nursing course, composed of lecture and lab. You also take N1450, the first med/surg course, which is nursing fundamentals. This course is 8 credit hours and is composed of lecture, lab, ...

If you look carefully, you'll notice that the evening/weekend program is referred to as a "modified evening/weekend" program. This is due to the fact that some clinicals start as early as 3 p.m. during the week, while others may begin at 7 a.m. on th...

People decide not to attend school all of the time, so you could still get in. Just let them know that you would like to be considered for spring just in case a spot opens.

Tri-C is accredited without conditions for the maximum amount of time, 8 years, which means that the next accreditation visit will take place in 2022. Accreditation information is posted at www.Tri-C.edu>Programs & Certificates>Nursing>...
