  1. Current Walden University Students

    I can't answer for Walden but I love Kaplan. It all depends on the class. I spent a ton of time daily on the stats class but on some I barely spent a few hours a week. It all depends on your own...
  2. which littman for the ER?

    I know mine is an unpopular opinion. But I still can't hear a thing with the Littmans. LOVE my UltraScope! An unexpected benefit is that Littmans all look alike and grow feet easily. UltraScopes...
  3. Straight to RN Program or LPN?

    I haven't felt any anti-LPN sentiment from any of the postings. Just opinions answering the question that was asked. LPNs are nurses. Its the establishment that has a problem with them. On the...
  4. Need Help with reinstating NJ License

    I let my Jersey lapse while I was working in Pensy and the one thing I learned was not to EVER let that happen again. I pay 'em both even if I'm only working in one. Reinstatement was a pain in the...
  5. Straight to RN Program or LPN?

    If you already have a BS, I assume that the time for RN vs LPN is about the same. This being the case...go for the RN without question. You'll tell yourself that you will go back but that may take a...

  8. Experience with the Kaplan University program?

  9. I've worked and traveled extensively all over the state. I find my observations about the culture most sharply the farther East and North that I get. The farther South and the farther West, the...
  10. Can a new grad start as a travel nurse

    Ditto to all of the above. You don't want to A) Hate nursing before you really get started or B) Lose your license before the "new" wears off. Get a year or two of Med/Surg under your belt first....

    Ditto to all of the above. Good
  12. To Get A Masters or NOT

    Option I: You want to do Geri NP, I'm sure you'll be walking faster than your patients! Tell the nay-sayers to get a life. You can do anything you set your mind to. Option II: Switch programs,...
  13. which littman for the ER?

    I've got 3 Littman at home. I found the best stetho is the UltraScope. And on top of it all, they're reasonably priced and cool looking! Just an
  14. I'm working on my BSN from Kaplan University right now and already plan to continue with my MSN. I LOVE Kaplan. Its very interactive and accessible. I work 5 12's a week and am very active outside...
  15. Hi, While I can sympathize with your feeling that I was harsh, I can sympathize with this out-of-state potential neighbor. NJ's culture is very foreign. Faster, yes. But also much more rude and...
