Well I called them and was told that no one has dropped yet and no alternates have been selected. There are apparently 24 people on the alternate list so it doesn't look good for people on the...
Chronis replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Nevada Nursing
Well it's been a couple of years now since I went there and I know a few things have changed. That being said when I went it was your GPA in select courses mostly in the sciences that mattered whether...
Well if you look at the study the RAND corporation did a few years back it does indicate that there will be a surplus of CRNA's by 2020. That being said in the field of nursing CRNA's are going to...
Hi tgibs87: I can't really compare RNs to radiation therapy since I am not that familiar about the pay and job opportunities in radiation therapy. However I can say that the job market for new RNs...
Hi Alana, I have just completed UNRs RN-BSN program. To tell you the truth I was not impressed. While some of the instructors where great others where absolutely terrible. Honestly if I had to do it...
I was curious what everyone thinks about the debate over the law being proposed in New York which seeks to require all registered professional nurses to attain a baccalaureate degree in nursing within...
Dishes, I am an ADN nurse who is currently in school getting my BSN. I am also heavily into science and research and am always willing to keep an open mind regarding these matters. However there are...
Nursel56 I think the Institute of Medicines report calling for 80% of all nurses to have their BSN by 2020 was pretty definitive. However I will include excerpts of the report below that further...
By admitting there is a correlation you are admitting that there is a relationship between lower mortality rates and a baccalaureate degree in nursing. However you appear to be arguing that because...
futurernmena, i am sorry to hear about your boss. in response to your question to the best of my knowledge the current research would count adn nurses who complete their bsns as bsn nurses because...
Dishes I was able to find the whole article that you mentioned in your link: http://www.jblearning.com/samples/0763744379/Hall.pdf The study you mentioned does not refute the BSN only staffing...
Well ADN's would still have the same rights to practice as they always have but would need to obtain their BSN in 10 years. According to the bill any licensed ADN nurse who doesn’t obtain a...
Scir If you want to be a CRNA aren't you going to need your bachelors? In any case I went to WNC and personally didn't know anyone who had a 4.0 GPA. Counting just my pre-nursing classes I had about a...
Actually at least when it comes to nursing men are almost twice as likely to leave the profession as females according to this study done by the University of Pennsylvania. "7.5 percent of new male...
MrsEd are you already and RN and are you referring to the RN to BSN program? If so then yes I am also applying to that program for this fall. What I have heard is that they are getting more and more...
Well last I heard WNC was going to alternate between having 40 and 48 students accepted each year. The extra 8 openings every other year would be reserved for the students from Fallen. However if you...
Well I am not sure if I would consider myself an economic buff but I have researched this a bit on my own. The short answer to your question about when the nursing shortage will return is that it...
Okay some new info. Apparently what the Renown recruiter told us about hiring locally isn't true. For instance I heard they hired a new grad from Sacramento into the CIC when I and multiple other...
Well I'm from Northern Nevada so I'm not sure about Southern Nevada but I heard that it is horrible for new grads. The other day a girl in my class who wants to move down there told me all the...
Well I am still in nursing school but from what I can tell from clinical the nurses at Carson Tahoe are very nice and friendly. The winters can get cold and you'll also have to get used to driving in...
WNC is a great program with a lot of great teachers. It's pretty tuff though and can be very stressful. If you want you could read a little more about it on the post Wnc. If you have any specific...
Well first off congratulations:yeah:! I was accepted into WNC in 2008 not 2009 but seeing as no one has answered this question yet ill give it my best shot. While I did not apply to both schools I do...
Oh one thing I forgot to mention is that WNC does not have a BSN program. I had heard there had been some discussions about about implementing it but that was before the economy took a
i just finished my first semester at wnc and i can tell you it's by far the hardest thing ive ever done. the work load is intense and the teachers say about 26% of students don't make it to the second...
