  1. National University San Diego

    maiday replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    I am a nursing student at National and I am set to graduate May 2011. Therefore I was hoping to have an externship either this fall or Spring 2011... so yes I am disappointed and hoping they fix this...

  2. Externship with RN license

    maiday posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everybody, I am in an accelerated BSN program which finishes all of our core "RN" classes in November 2010, we can technically take the NCLEX any time after that. We do not graduate however until...

  3. Externship with RN license

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in General Nursing

    I've been sitting here researching these threads (should have done that first, oops) and it seems in CA, you can take the NCLEX early, but will not receive your license until you graduate... except...

  4. Kaplan or National University

    maiday replied to N02ADN's topic in California Nursing

    I go to National University, I'll graduate May 2011. I think it's a good program. As somebody pointed out, Kaplan is not fully accredited so if you want to further your schooling, you may have to...

  5. Externship with RN license

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in General Nursing

    Quick update: Just did a search through threads here and it is only in CA that this is an option (as far as I understand). You can take the boards early as long as the core requirements are met......

  6. Externship with RN license

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm... I will double check, but I've heard from a lot of different people that we can take it after our core requirements are met. I went to the BRN website and it does have a California non...

  7. post-partum careplan help

    maiday replied to LiveYourDream's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Did she have an episiotomy? if so, acute pain anxiety r/t change in role or parenting fatigue r/t

  8. ACLS certification

    maiday replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student and I took ACLS. We did study ECGs in class though and I'd taken pharm so I was familiar with the drugs and the strips. I don't feel ACLS "prepared" after taking to be honest...

  9. Survey: Should nurses from other countries be recruited to aid in the nursing shortag

    maiday replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    No. I have no problem with foreign nurses, but if the government wanted to help the "nursing shortage" they could give the hospitals money for new grad programs so they could actually hire more of...

  10. Need info about Natinal University (San Diego) BSN program

    maiday replied to rosebud123's topic in California Nursing

    Hi, I started July 09 and will graduate May 2011. I will not comment to the current requirements for getting in because they have changed that since I applied so any info I have would be outdated. I...

  11. Nurses role if Dr is not giving all options (VBAC specifically)

    maiday posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi! I am in nursing school and writing a paper on ethical dilemma's in childbearing nursing. We are allowed to choose any topic as long as we can define the ethical dilemma and how it relates to...

  12. Peers don't believe nurses can't get jobs...

    maiday replied to SandraCVRN's topic in General Nursing

    All people hear is about the nursing shortage and they don't realize that must be a few very select places and mostly for experienced nurses only. Southern Ca is overrun with

  13. Nurses role if Dr is not giving all options (VBAC specifically)

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As some other posters pointed out, I'm not sure my original question was phrased properly. However, I feel I've got some great feedback anyway so thank you. I think I did sort of phrase it broadly...

  14. National University San Diego

    maiday replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    twilight, It depends on the class. Usually being a book behind is fine, you may have some misplaced chapters, but for the most part no problem. Heck, one class (pharmacology) the slides and tests...

  15. Nurses role if Dr is not giving all options (VBAC specifically)

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not to get off subject and thank you for all replies... but that's usually the reason stated for not doing VBACs. Not saying it's a good reason, but in 1999 the ACOG stated that anesthesia and...

  16. Nurses role if Dr is not giving all options (VBAC specifically)

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you dishes, that's the kind of thing I'm interested in. The paper is somewhat broad and maybe I'm not explaining it great, but that is the kind of thing I would discuss in my

  17. Nurses role if Dr is not giving all options (VBAC specifically)

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As I said in my first post, I'm not looking for an opinion on VBAC or whether I should choose this topic. I was just wondering if anybody had any experience with this issue. My professor has...

  18. Nurses role if Dr is not giving all options (VBAC specifically)

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Whoa UKstudent! I'm not saying any nurse did the wrong thing in my situation. I do think my Dr. should have given me all the options, but that is the Dr., not any nurses or MAs. I think VBAC fits...

  19. Nurses role if Dr is not giving all options (VBAC specifically)

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess I'm talking about any nurse who may deal with this type of situation. I would consider this to be similar to any type of procedure a Dr. ordered that a nurse didn't necessarily agree with....

  20. child care w/ crazy hours?

    maiday replied to httamli's topic in General Nursing

    I am in nursing school now, but we have a lady who watches my 2 year old. She is great because she is very flexible and when he starts school she will be willing to pick him or take him. My classes...

  21. At what point can you go from CNA to Student Nurse?

    maiday replied to amanda1266's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you usually have to be enrolled in nursing school and usually have gone through at least fundamentals. You are basically still a CNA or like somebody else said a PCT (patient care tech),...

  22. National University San Diego

    maiday replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    I took ILR online, the class is super easy. I think I had to write only like 1 short paper and do some journals. Of course that was almost 2 years ago now and I'm sure it depends on the teacher, but...

  23. Accelerated BSN and externship... possible?

    maiday posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I'm wondering if anybody who is in an accelerated BSN program that does not have summer breaks has done an externship? If so, can you tell me how it went? I am in a 2 year BSN program that goes...

  24. Accelerated BSN and externship... possible?

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in General Students

    That's what I was thinking, I wouldn't expect them to work around my schedule. The same hospital sometimes has a winter externship which I am not sure how that works but that may be something more...

  25. Accelerated BSN and externship... possible?

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in General Students

    They won't even know for sure if they're doing the externship this year and how many spots they'll have until April. I was wondering the same thing though, if they'll even consider somebody who is...
