  1. SNHU online RN-BSN

    777RN replied to schry2005's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am eager to hear caddywompus's reply as well. I really like the setup of the SNHU program and have narrowed down my RN-BSN selection to SNHU and WGU. While I like the price of WGU, I prefer the...

  2. Do You Ever Ignore Your Employer's VM When They Try to Call You In?

    777RN replied to westieluv's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread is very timely for me! I am a relatively new nurse who really, really values off days and down time. (It's hard enough to work my scheduled shifts.) I recently received a voicemail from...

  3. Do you lie when they ask, "how long?"

    777RN replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi RNsRWe! I think it's acceptable for an experienced nurse, such as yourself, to deflect the question with coy, funny answers. While experience certainly isn't everything, it usually shows....

  4. Do you lie when they ask, "how long?"

    777RN replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi! While I like all the funny comments, I would never lie to a patient about my years of experience (or anything else for that matter)—and I am a new nurse who at times appears uncomfortable...

  5. A potential nursing student seeks realistic advice/outlook

    777RN replied to Markman122's topic in General Nursing

    Hello there, Markman122! You have received quite positive comments from the other posters. While I am generally a positive person (I've been called a Pollyanna by many people over my lifetime), I am...

  6. UNISA anyone?

    777RN replied to HikingNinja's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You're welcome and best wishes! By the way, I meant to say I intend to pursue a doctorate (not a master's) at UNISA or the University of Pretoria. I will be finished with a non-nursing master's next...

  7. UNISA anyone?

    777RN replied to HikingNinja's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have been intrigued by UNISA since I first read about it 30+ years ago in a John Bear's book. I intend to do a master's there or at the University of Pretoria one day as well (though, maybe not in...

  8. Need to give props to the MSN course mentors

    777RN replied to klone's topic in Western Governors University

  10. The College Network peddling their fraud on Craigslist

    777RN replied to klone's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree with everything TheCommuter said. However, to add, College Network study guides are in no way necessary to pass Excelsior College or Indiana State University exams. Such exams can be passed...

    777RN replied to granolatrees's topic in Michigan Nursing

    777RN replied to NurseQT's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Actually, I would love to work as a CNA for RN pay! I miss being as hands on as I could be as an aide. Plus, no med pass!!! At one of the facilities in which I work, a serious shortage of CNAs exists...

  22. Need Help choosing online BSN program

    777RN replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi again! For what it's worth, Grand Canyon University is a for-profit institution, which completely rules it out for me. While I understand the draw to for-profit institutions, as they often don't...

    777RN replied to Windynurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi veriteblesse! Sorry. I don't have any advice, as I'm in the same boat. However, I will be watching this thread to review the responses you receive. I am also torn between doing an RN-BSN or RN-MSN...

  25. Rue or Excelsior?

    777RN replied to Sarahbellum0525's topic in Excelsior College

    Hi Sarahbellum0525! I would definitely recommend working directly with Excelsior. I do not see any good reason to use a middleman like Rue or College Network, even for someone who needs extra help and...
