Hi, I am pretty frustrated with the RN to BSN online program and I have not even started! I was accepted to start Feb 2012 and postponed it until Fall 2012. After multiple emails to find out if I am accepted for Fall 2012 I finally heard back I am ...

Thank you all soooo much for responding! Sorry for the delay! For some reason I did not receive emails from allnurses that there were replies! Class has begun, as you all know :) I still have not heard from an advisor. I did get a VM from the suc...

The questions were exactly the same for me. The 2nd time I took it I had multiple internet windows open to find the info quickly. A few of the windows I had open- nursing student handbook, dar, RN to BSN knowledge center, and civility form.

Has anyone started on assignment 3? If so, did you put a header?

There is also a civility form we need to sign and send in. I also missed this question. I found the civility form on the RN to BSN Knowledge Center under "forms and resources"

@beautifulyou, I am also overwhelmed. I am hoping that I will look back on this week and laugh at how simple the info is. But I am not feeling that way right now!

I have taken the self test and got 12 out of 15 (80%). I am confused on taking it a second time as well. I also saw the conflicting grading info. *sigh*

I have looked at Assignment 1 and am freaking out. I didn't think I had a problem with English but these sentences are making me question that thought!

Thank you for the info

Hi, I am curious if you started with UOP? I am in San Diego and looking into going to UOP. Please share. Thanks!

It gets easier...hang in there! And #6 is not a mistake...you should always assess your patient and see for yourself what they are capable of. There have been many times I have received report on a patient that can not do xyz and when I ask them to ...

Hi...I, too, am interested in this program. Does anyone know how many clinical hours are required? And can someone explain the cost to me? I have reviewed csudh.edu and see $250 per unit. If a class is 3 units does that mean it would be $750? Th...

There is nothing wrong with that! I got into nursing for job security and the $$ didn't hurt. One thing that I have learned along the way is that security and money will not keep you going on the nursing path. You have to want to help people and r...

Hi Edina, Wow...8 patients, that is crazy! It can't be safe! California state laws protect nurses. http://www.cga.ct.gov/2004/rpt/2004-R-0212.htm I really enjoy working for Sharp Grossmont. There are lots of hospitals in San Diego, so you have ma...

Hiya! I have been working for Grossmont since 2-15-10 and I love it! The hospital is really good. I feel supported and taken care of. I work in the float pool (for the hospital) and do not go to the ED so I do not have much info to share with you...

Thank you for the info! I have found a rental in Grantville that is perfect for us, I am super excited :) Did you work in critical care in Colorado? I appreciate your feedback and I will let you know how it goes, if you'd like :-) Take care!

Thanks for the info! I leave today for SD to find a place to place and appreciate your feedback! Take care :)

Hi! Have you started working at Grossmont? How do you like it? I have accepted a position and start the week of Feb 15th. I will be in the PCU Float pool and I am moving from Oregon. Can you answer your own ?'s for me?? Also, do you know of any...

Hi Megan, if you still have info on good places to rent- I am interested. I fly out next week to look at places. So far I have narrowed it down to San Carlos Townhouses and River Run Aparments (the more I look into this place, the more I stray away...

I am really happy to read this! I start working at Sharp Grossmont in Febrauary! Thank you for the info!

I work in critical care and we have lots of OT (if you want it!). I will start picking up an extra shift here and there now that the summer is over. We are union and we also get consecutive weekends (if we work the weekend before our scheduled week...

Forgot to add- you can make an additional 1-4% on top of your base pay if you have your BSN and/or specialty cert's

I started as a new grad in Aug 2008 and the starting pay was 28.63 (regardless of where in the hospital you work). I live in Corvallis, Or and rent a 2 bedroom townhome for $850/mo. The hospital I work at goes by 'step' pay. Since I was a new grad...

I am a new nurse and a critical care intern. I have been training for 5 months and have 1 more month before I am on my own. I am having a difficult time with death. About 5 weeks ago I did chest compressions for the first time on a real person. I...

Thanks hotflashion! I am going to look for it! Thanks a bunch!!
