  1. Obamacare: are you for it, against it, or unsure?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Lucidity's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not that it matters anymore, but I am against it. I could do the food is a right, housing is a right, nice clothes are a right, etc. Heck even cell phones/land lines are a right these days. Why

  2. ADN or BSN

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to aharris1's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I guess I can only speak from my experience. My ADN was hard, but it was 9 to 13 credits per semester vs. 16+ at the

  3. ADN or BSN

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to aharris1's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You are likely to get better grades with an ADN program due to its lighter load. That is important for grad school admissions. On the other hand getting your BSN right off the bat would be quicker....

  4. Western Governors University is it worth it?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to jxngirl's topic in Western Governors University

    I misunderstood your question. I thought you were looking for a RN-BSN program. You would need a program with clinicals if you are trying to enter the nursing field. The UTA no clinicals programs was...

  5. Western Governors University is it worth it?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to jxngirl's topic in Western Governors University

    I live in Utah. I have never stepped foot in Texas. It is all online, no out-of-state tuition, and no

  6. Western Governors University is it worth it?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to jxngirl's topic in Western Governors University

    I would look at University of Texas Arlington ( that is where I did my RN-BSN) or Lamar. They are at StateU.com Message me if you have questions. WGU can be expensive if you take too long to...

  7. New in ICU... I'm scared I'll lose my license

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Nyla Maddox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How long was your orientation? What type of ICU? What trauma level is your hospital? Everyone feels vulnerable when they are new. You need to gain experience before you will feel more confident. I say...

  8. Anyone use a nurse recruiter?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to cocot's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I posted my resume on monster and careerbuilder and had 10+ calls per day from recruiters. It was kind of annoying, and in the end the places I interviewed at were all places I found myself. I got two...

  9. How important is a 4.0 once you are in nursing school?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Students

    Good luck getting in with just the minimums. You have to shine somewhere else if you have the minimum

  13. Neuro Nursing

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to SN15671's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Is it a trauma I hospital? I would say SICU would be better. Having said that, I know many nurses in my NCCU that have gone on to CRNA school, There are also several who are in NP school. You do not...

  15. OR/floor nurse before CRNA school?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Dre2416's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would think ER would be great (dealing with critical patients), then med/surg, then OR. In the OR you do not do much care (at least not at the OR in my hospital). You may put in foleys, document...

  16. ECPI what do I need to know (RN to BSN)

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to mikala3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Not exactly sure what you are asking here, but I suggest you attend University of Texas-Arlington. It is about $10K, all online, and the micro is also online. No clinicals, accredited, etc....

  17. UTA RN to BSN while working 40hrs /week?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to malenurseintx's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I just finished it a week ago. I work full time (36ish hours/week) as an ICU nurse, and have 4 kids, and I am married. I did the program without too much trouble. There is no hurry, you can take as...

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to crystalclear's topic in General Nursing

    Does having your CCRN advance youon th epay scale? I am considering switching to the VA. I have 2+ years experience, CCRN, and a BSN. The above poster mentioned BSN now being grade I. Is that

  20. best Route becoming a CRNA? BSN or ADN to BSN?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to hhamilton12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you can pull off competitive grades in the BSN program which is a higher load I would do it first. I did the ADN first, got into an ICU internship as a new grad, then right into my RN-BSN. It has...

  22. Outlook for the future?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to BenTram's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Many people I went to school with wanted to be CRNA's as well. So far I am the only one that has worked in an ICU and finished my BSN. The others have only finished their BSN if that. The point is,...

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to HappyGirl2011's topic in General Nursing

    This is an older post, but I will comment anyway. I did the program, and I did not graduate from the U. In fact there were not any U grads in my group. I do not think they have much of a bias towards...
