Ryan's Mom RN

So there are no clinicals? How do they handle final exams? Do i need to find a local proctor? I have completed most of my application just need a few questions answered before i submit the completed application. OOPs guess i should have written that i was asking about the U of P. Thanks Jeanne

I have been looking into obtaining my BSN via online classes. I have been an "RN for 8 years and was an LPN for 16 years prior to that. Anyway. Im looking into Thomas Edison College and also the University of Phoenix. Does anyone have any opinions or experience with either of these institutions. Also anyone that has obtained their degree this way please share your experience with me. Thanks so much Jeanne, RN:balloons:

Well i worked there about 5 years ago.I was there for 10 years working as an LPN and also an RN. My RN experience was in NICU. My LPN experience was on Med Surg, Mental Health, and NBN. I worked on primarily an onocology floor but it also had a mix of ortho and diabetes. I loved it and learned also learned alot. I hae to agree HUP would probably show you more acute as you discribed although Lourdes really is cutting edge in some areas they are really moving ahead in the transplant area and getting ready to open a brand new critical care wing. So i would imagine they have alot of great experiences too. Im kinda out of the loop now that i have been gone for 5 years. I still miss it from time to time. Im just spoiled now with no weekends and no holidays so every time i think of returning to hospital nursing i stop. Let me know what you decide. Best of luck in your search. :)

Welcome to the New Jersey Area! I worked for many years at Lourdes in Camden. If that is where you are than you will love it. I left a few years ago to pursue school nursing but i still have a warm place in my heart for my former employer.
