  1. Current Walden University Students

    coppertopRN replied to Otessa's topic in Post Graduate 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?

    coppertopRN replied to kadell's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    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?

    coppertopRN replied to CPaulino's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    coppertopRN replied to rexfreedom's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    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?

    coppertopRN replied to CPaulino's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  6. Which infant stethoscope?

    coppertopRN replied to cgarcia7's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi Elvish...When I said I'd "Sell 'ya for cheap" I wasn't really offering. Just an expression to convey how little esteem I give the product.

  7. Which infant stethoscope?

    coppertopRN replied to cgarcia7's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Personally, I love UltraScopes in all sizes. They were originally designed for field use and you can hear through layers and layers of clothing and blankets, etc. I just love 'em. I have 3 Littman...

  8. Experience with the Kaplan University program?

    coppertopRN replied to susieb5's topic in Legal

    I'm an online Kaplan BSN student and plan to advance to my MSN. I LOVE Kaplan. They really seem to use multiple avenues into the brain so that the students really "get it". Not just reading and...

  9. i need some info on moving to NJ and nsg in NJ pls

    coppertopRN replied to azor's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    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

    coppertopRN replied to beachbutterfly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    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....

  11. PerDiem - can I work for more than one company?

    coppertopRN replied to beat2beat's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto to all of the above. Good

  12. To Get A Masters or NOT

    coppertopRN replied to Grammel's topic in Post Graduate Students

    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?

    coppertopRN replied to kadell's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    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. Anyone know of any good online Master in nursing programs?

    coppertopRN replied to PeppermintPat22's topic in Online Distance Learning

    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. i need some info on moving to NJ and nsg in NJ pls

    coppertopRN replied to azor's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    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...

  16. i need some info on moving to NJ and nsg in NJ pls

    coppertopRN replied to azor's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    If you insist on nursing out of Georgia, I suggest you deal with a national recruiter. They will hook you up with interviews, moving expenses, sign-on bonuses and all of the perks. Many of them will...

  17. i need some info on moving to NJ and nsg in NJ pls

    coppertopRN replied to azor's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    As a transplant myself I will say only one thing...if you don't HAVE to move to New Jersey, DON'T. It is not a nice culture change for someone from the South or the Midwest. Its taken me almost 7...

  18. New Grad RN Pay - Princeton Area

    coppertopRN replied to Qtp2t RN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I think you made a great decision. OR is a super specialty and it primes you for others. You will have terrific experience if you decide to go on to CRNA. Princeton is a great hospital (and they...

  19. RWJ Hamilton?

    coppertopRN replied to Tsiasn's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I don't know if I'd be looking at RWJH right now. Under investigation for Medicare fraud. Rumors all over town. Another local hospital made an offer on their buildings, it was rejected but (again,...

  20. Current Walden University Students

    coppertopRN replied to Otessa's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I bought PERRLA software (its a download) No more APA issues/errors/markdowns. It does it for me and it does it right. Best $30.00 EVER!!!!! I'm not at Walden, changed my mind at the last minute....

  21. Any tips for the 11pm to 7:30 am shift??

    coppertopRN replied to waitingforthedream's topic in General Nursing

    All of the suggestions given are great. Let me add mine. First, I HATE WORKING DAY SHIFT!!! That makes 7p-7a easy for me. But I do have some tricks I have developed over the years. If I stop at...

  22. online RN to BSN - any opinions?

    coppertopRN replied to neko11111's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm in the middle of Kaplan's program right now and I am SO happy I chose them. I was within a stamp's lick of going to Walden and I changed my mind at the last minute. I totally LOVE Kaplan....
