breakthrough

Does anyone have a list of all the various RN to MSN (FNP) Distance Programs? I would like to look first at the ones in North Carolina and then else where. I know some allow advanced standings for RN's who may have a BS in another field. Thanks!

My A.D.N (RN) program is evening and weekend. Currently I go Monday & Wednesday nights to class and clinicals are Fridays from 4-10pm.

Try your local community college. Most have 2 year programs. Mine was $3,500 for the whole A.D.N (RN) program. 1/10 the cost of these online or distance programs and you get the hands on experience chiropractors need to successful I think.

If you are having trouble with schools accepting your classes you took 10+ years ago then do as I did. I went back to my local community college and applied to their A.D.N. (RN) program and all my classes that I took there were excepted and everything I took from Life University transfered in. I was the first Chiropractor to do this at my local college. I will finish the program December 2010. I only have to take the core RN classes, no anatomy, micro, etc.. Now there are 2 other DC's applying to go through there program. I am looking to then go through a A.D.N. (RN) bridge program to M.S.N (FNP) like Frontier. These types of programs are made for like chiropractors who have advanced degree (BS). Look around at your state universities for the bridge programs in FNP or Distance learning. University of Cinncinatti is one. Just google around and you will find a program that allows you to continue to work and learn. I would highly recommend getting your RN in a local college to gain the hands on experience of nursing. We are not taught nothing like this in chiropractic school. I actually am doing my clinicals at the local hospitals and everyone knows me and thinks that it is awesome what I am doing. I treat most of them and have to reassure them that I am not going to stop practicing chiropractic (that's my life and passion), but I do want to make sure I get paid for my services through the insurance companies, medicare and medicaid. Also, I think it is great to be able to practice either more in neurology or orthopedics since this is a big portion of our education. I think there is a huge oportunity for chiropractors to diverse into midwifery, Ob/gyn and family practice adding that holistic approach most chiropractors have. A friend of mine who was a chiropractor for 20 years with a successful practice went back and did this and now works with a spine surgeon. He does surgical assist 2 days a week and 3 days a week he does new patient exams, follow-ups, etc... On call every 6th weekend and works M-F 9-5. $100k/yr. Not what he was making in chiropractic, but it takes the stress off his joints that 20 years or chiropractic can do. Just research the schools and get to know the admissions people face to face. They are less likely to descriminate if they know you. We all should work together for the sake of patients.

Can anyone tell me where I may find a good example of a nursing narrative case study. We where given a patient one day in clinicals and now we need to write a formal case study not a clinical prep. Thanks:typing
