  1. Anyone pay cash for NP school?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am actually doing this now. I am in the MSN/FNP program at Baylor in Dallas. The school is in fact part of the Baylor in Waco, but the nursing school is across the street from Baylor University...

  2. What if NCLEX results aren't posted and you haven't gotten a failed letter?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to 1awesomenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Since the post you are responding to was written in January 2007, a full 18+ months ago, I suspect the poster has calmed

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to celclt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can't help with clinical sites near you or more online programs than have been offered, but I am attending Baylor in Dallas with my ASN and the BA and MA in another field. It is quite an experience...

    chris_at_lucas_RN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have just been denied a job due to Group One. If you practice (or try to!) in Texas, this may be important to you. Briefly, they call themselves a "credit reporting agency," and proceed to spread...

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Nursing Career

    Here's their website. http://www.dfwhc.org/groupone/ Looking at the list of participating employers, it looks mostly like it is the Baylor system. (Go figure!) But there are references made to...

    I liked a lot of what I read, allaboutthefamily, until I got to the last line, and for that I think I have an answer.I often learn about different ways to do things after the opportunity for me has...

  9. I want to become a nurse midwife

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Like2bFrisky's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Gosh, I saw that and I cannot imagine how anyone could be competent at an independent practice such as midwifery from an online course..... In answer to the OP question about how long you have to wait...

  10. I want to become a nurse midwife

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Like2bFrisky's topic in Post Graduate Students

  12. what have I done?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to eho6's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do you want to do L&D? Then ignore the garbage this person is dishing out and continue "busting your butt." Fetal demise is a sad thing and the first couple of times it is shocking. There is...

  13. Found a really good website for learning ACLS

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is kinda funny. We use seamonkey, which is a kissing cousin to firefox, I am led to believe. I couldn't make it bigger until I used IE. I'm sorry I forgot to tell about that. All the excitement...

  14. Found a really good website for learning ACLS

    chris_at_lucas_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    It is http://www.skillstat.com. I used it mostly for learning rhythms. I went from getting 15% right (and that was guessing) to 100% with no problems. There is a learning segment and a "game" segment...

    That's why God made the shred box, right?

  17. Help with organization

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to megs0310's topic in General Nursing

    I believe I predicted a bonk on the head, didn't I? I certainly hope you can be a little more detailed, nightmare, giving support, encouragement and ideas, instead of useless emotional criticism?...

  18. Help with organization

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to megs0310's topic in General Nursing

    what a great idea!

  19. Help with organization

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to megs0310's topic in General Nursing

    I am still in the learning curve as far as organization is concerned, but here are a couple of things I learned/developed. One, before I get report, I make up a sheet (just one) that I fold so that...

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to LookingToB's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I graduated from a distance learning program that is part of a traditional "real" school and has won awards. I got a great nursing education. But it was hard, time consuming and expensive. Even with...

  21. Did You Pass NCLEX without taking a Review Course?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to brina's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    About a year or so ago I was unable to find this test online. I telephoned Mosby and learned it had been discontinued. It no longer exists. One would think someone would make another, but apparently...

    chris_at_lucas_RN posted a topic in Agency Nurses

    Anybody else ever hear of this? I have been trying to get on at a hospital 23 miles from me, and was happy when I got an email out of nowhere inviting me to work for an agency, at that hospital! The...

  23. Not eligible because I live too close?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Agency Nurses

    OK, I didn't say I got a mailer from an agency, I said I got email and it was specific about an opening at the hospital I stated I wanted to work at, etc. The IRS post wasn't directed to you, Suzanne,...

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Agency Nurses

  25. Not eligible because I live too close?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Agency Nurses

    I think the IRS doesn't care where I live.They certainly do have rules about how far away you must live in order to collect per diem (housing, etc.), but that is not really what I am trying to...
