    KTSNurse2b replied to RNShenanigator's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow, really interesting about the POLS test out option. I don't know...I'm skeptical you'd really need to study all the books for the course in order to pass the test. Aside from the WY gov open...

    KTSNurse2b replied to RNShenanigator's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've been accepted for this Fall too. Likewise, I've sent in my confirmation and done my background check, but haven't seen anything more official yet. My impression though is that the nursing...

  9. Best and worst states for new grads?

    KTSNurse2b replied to mysticpenguin's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unless it is an area that is super super desperate for nurses right now, I think ANYWHERE you move with no connections is tough. I just moved from VA to Minneapolis and am having a horrible time...

  10. University of Wyoming RN/BSN Online

    KTSNurse2b replied to RNShenanigator's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Community colleges are the way to go to have your exams proctored in my opinion....especially if you don't have an avenue through an education dept. at work. Just call around to the testing centers...

  15. Just getting started

    KTSNurse2b replied to Livy022's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about your program, but for mine the score on the TEAS didn't matter, you just had to have passed it by some ridiculously easy percentage (like 40% I think). Anyway, I used the...

    Most hospital settings have both 8 and 12 hour shifts-on my floor as CNA's we work a combination of both...typically 2 8's and 2 12's...it's nice because you get an extra day off a week. However, I...

    KTSNurse2b replied to aspenleaf's topic in General Nursing

  21. CNA class offered at PVCC.. should I ???

    KTSNurse2b replied to Lizzyru's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My advice would absolutely be to go for it. I just started the nursing program at PVCC a couple weeks ago. When I decided I wanted to get into nursing last year, despite a sizable paycut, I made the...

    KTSNurse2b replied to crystal013's topic in Virginia Nursing
