  1. Bad news, no money

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to NamasteNurse's topic in LPN to RN

    It is true that a requirement of receiving financial aid is being registered as a degree-seeking student at least part-time (6 credit hours). Do you choose to take 4 credit hours because you feel as...

  2. ATI predictor retake

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to asabater's topic in General Students

    I agree with Ashley. I took ALL of my practice exams including the specialized body system ones. I found some questions to be the same and many more similar. Good

  3. Finally allowed to sit for a probationary license, good or bad?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to nurse_wannab's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Please ignore my initial post. I misread your comment. In that case, if your fines and restitution equate to $10,000 and the board said you can petition to have the probationary status removed after...

  4. Finally allowed to sit for a probationary license, good or bad?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to nurse_wannab's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would like to know how in the world a BON can charge fines for a crime that was committed in the past AND it totaling to $10,000.00. So, after the amount is paid, you will have a free and clear...

  7. Second Degree Nursing admission: Does what undergraduate college you come from matter

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to iridescence89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first undergraduate degree was in Business Administration, IU Kelly School of Business :-) I did graduate with a 3.82, but honestly, I don’t think that was a factor in my getting accepted into...

  8. Easy (Hard?) Math Question

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to cheska_rn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am sorry if I confused you. When I do these calculations, I have my own method in mind. I need to remember that there is a formula that you are required to follow. I think so as long as we get...

  9. ITT Technical Institute is seeking NLN accredidation!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN posted a topic in Indiana Nursing

    i have noticed several posts on the site about nln/ccne accreditation and job placement. i posted a question about whether it mattered if a school was accredited by one of the above mentioned...

  10. Easy (Hard?) Math Question

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to cheska_rn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Drop factor is 10gtt/min, so every 10 drips equals 1ml. You are running 25gtt or 2.5ml/minute. 2.5 X 60 = 150ml/hr If you have 1000ml, how long will it take to complete the entire bag? So,...

  13. Do you think they will say no? im very nervous!!!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to EMTbasmus777's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    i wish i could give some advice, but i am not an attorney. perhaps they will receive your paperwork and allow you to test without going in front of the board. if you do have to go in front of the...

  14. You must have an Attorney when going before the BON

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You are correct! I have read some research articles stating outcomes of those who had an attorney at a board meeting versus those who showed up without and attorney. The research shows those with...

  15. I am in dire need of some advice...

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I am hoping that someone can help to shed some light on my dilemma. I recently graduated from nursing school with my BSN. I am looking at going on for my PhD. I am also currently an adjunct...

  16. I am in dire need of some advice...

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to ParkerBC,MSN,RN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    79Tango, Thanks for the response. I thought to post the outcome of my appeal. The board reversed their original decision and granted me a license free and clear. They also are removing my name...

  17. Is it wrong...

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to walkingonthestars's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will caution you on one thing. If you receive Pell Grants, you will NOT want to complete a Bachelor’s degree in another field then do an accelerated BSN. Once you earn a Bachelor’s degree, you...

  18. Using a Littmann 3200 Electronic Stethoscope for nursing school?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to RNinthemaking1986's topic in General Students

    I have the Littmann 3000 electronic stethoscope. My hearing is also off by several decibels in each ear, so I needed the sounds amplified. I never really thought of it as being overkill. Rather...

  19. AJN: Research Shows Link Between Nurse's Criminal History & Professional Misconduct

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    "according to the study, the recidivism rate among those with a history of criminal conviction (56%; 22 of 39 nurses) was nearly twice as high as the rate among those without such a history (33%; 24...

  20. CNA and RN licensing with a diversion

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Pollypocket's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Disclose it. Make sure you have official court copies of everything to send to the board. There was about seven year of my life when I was using drugs and got into trouble. I was arrested three...

  21. LPN sealed drug possession Felony

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to red84's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    How does the question read on the application? You need to look up your state's statues or contact and attorney. In Indiana, if a record has been expunged or the person participated in some kind of...

  22. Grad School GPA?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to LawyerRN2b's topic in General Students

  23. "We don't hire RN's who got RN-BSN online"

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to 33762FL's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have never heard of this before. I would think so as long as the program where you are earning your RN to BSN is CCNE accredited, facilities would be more than willing to hire you. The number of...

  24. A&P 1 online this fall - advice please!

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have not taken A&P online. However, I think if you approach the course like any other online course, you will be fine. Students who take distance education courses are ones who need good...
