  1. Straight to the MSN, skip the BSN postlicensure?

    777RN posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello everyone! I posted a similar question a few years ago when I was a prelicensure nursing student. Now that I'm a licensed RN, I'm seeking some additional insight. I have an ADN, a non-nursing...

  2. Schools for APRN, NP in Holistic/Integrative focus

  3. Is my (50K) BSN worthless?

    777RN replied to boxofrain's topic in General Nursing

    Hello OP! For what it's worth, I knew that I did not want to be a hospital nurse long before I ever started nursing school. Hospital nursing is NOT for everyone and I have never worked in one. My...

  4. Online RN-MSN Programs with Non-nursing Bachelor's

    777RN posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello all! I'm approaching the end of an ADN program and hold a bachelor's degree in another field. I'm trying to decide between one of the numerous RN-BSN programs available or an RN-MSN program for...

  5. Any SNHU grads/students?

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

    Hello, ThatChickOmi! Why not wait a couple of months until you pass the NCLEX-RN before enrolling in an RN-BSN program? That way, you will have all options open to you. A few months will fly by. For...

  6. Cheapest Post-Master's NP programs

    777RN replied to guest833402's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello, sunshine_2014! If you can wait a bit, you might consider Western Governors University, where an FNP program is in the works. Although you already have an MSN and would prefer a post-master's...

  7. Quitting nursing school?

    777RN replied to MSTLUV's topic in General Students

    MSTLUV, Please, do yourself a favor and do NOT become a nurse because others want you to be a nurse. Only become a nurse if YOU truly want to be a nurse! As a hospice nurse, I can assure you that life...

  8. California Vaccine Bill Eliminates Personal Exemption

    777RN replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hello! My reply is not likely going to be very popular. It may be completely ignored and dismissed as nonsense by those not willing to look into the opposing viewpoint. Or, my post may incite,...

    777RN replied to margaretann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Cheapest online RN to BSN (2015)

    777RN replied to 42pines's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hello! Regarding the previous post, Aspen University is a for-profit school, most of which have bad reputations for good reason. Also, despite Aspen's CCNE accreditation for its RN-BSN nursing...

  11. Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

    777RN replied to margaretann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're welcome! Thank you! I really enjoy my specialties. Dementia, in particular, is near and dear to my heart, as my paternal grandfather had Alzheimer's disease. I am near completion of a master's...

  12. Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

    777RN replied to margaretann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're welcome! That's great that you are all in! Staying active is so important. You will be a role model for your patients and coworkers. As far as getting hired, I think your age and background...

  13. Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

    777RN replied to margaretann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What a wonderfully inspiring story, pjgal2000! For what it's worth, I work with a number of nurses in their late 60s, 70s, and one who is 80—with no plans of slowing down! You could potentially...

  14. Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

    777RN replied to margaretann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, nicernurse1, but I strongly disagree with the above advice. The job market for nurses is extremely tight. Becoming a CNA first may not only help with confidence in nursing-school clinicals...

    777RN replied to margaretann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

    777RN replied to margaretann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello margaretann! Your story is similar to mine. I'm somewhat of a professional student and entered nursing after careers in several other fields. My nursing class had students ranging from 20 to 60....

  17. Dreadlocks

    777RN replied to PauperRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hi PauperRN! I am a nurse with locks and it has never, ever been an issue. While at work, I pull my hair back into a hair net. My locks are always neat and clean. I have two employers: a very...

  19. New Grad RN can't find a job

    777RN replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congratulations on passing the boards! Are you looking beyond hospitals? If not, consider long-term care (LTC); i.e., long-term subacute care, as opposed to long-term acute care (LTAC). LTC...

    777RN replied to 777RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Again, thanks for your reply! Any opinions on the best ADN-MSN programs? Just curious. In particular, I've been considering the University of Arizona (expensive), Western Governors University...

    777RN replied to 777RN's topic in Post Graduate Students
