  1. Unfair grading!! Chamberlain University

    203bravo replied to _RNSTUDENT's topic in General Students

    Chamberlain has a student handbook that has a grade appeal process, you need to follow that process as any first step. But fair warning that if your main and/or only argument is going to be "But...

  2. Did I learn enough in clinical?

    203bravo replied to Brandolph95's topic in General Students

    You are doing fine... 1st semester is usually about learning the fundamentals so assisting with ADLs, cath care, bed making, basic med passes, learning to feel comfortable with patient interactions...

  4. RN to BSN vs RN to MSN

    203bravo replied to sillymu's topic in General Students

    I would go ahead and start working on the RN-BSN if you have any thought that you may be moving... Usually the first year of any RN-MSN (DNP) program covers the exact same information that is provided...

  5. ADN to MSN or ADN to BSN?

    203bravo replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in General Students

    Most ADN-MSN or ADN-DNP programs will provide the missing BSN course work during the first year of the program... so I wouldn't personally worry about it.. you will receive the education necessary to...

  6. Schools grading scale

    203bravo replied to Ibyn26's topic in General Students

    You say that you were not told about this policy during orientation nor did you receive a handbook that made you aware of the policy... exactly when were you and your classmates made aware of the...

  7. Test question

    203bravo replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow -- you have a scholarship that mandates that you maintain a 4.0 average or you lose the scholarship??? harshest stipulation that I've ever heard of and I wouldn't want to because of the extra...

  8. AA to BSN?

    203bravo replied to broughden's topic in School, College Programs

    Sorry -- I must have misread this statement... it sounds as if you are willing to travel if necessary to complete this degree... But now I see that you are simply ranting about your frustration......

  9. AA to BSN?

    203bravo replied to broughden's topic in School, College Programs

    Seems like a very easy decision... Go to Union University, knock out the BSN and continue on with your

  10. HESI Score vs HESI Conversion Score

    203bravo replied to j-rod's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Yes this is common...that's what I was attempting to point out.. it is common for 2 students to get the same HESI score and that their conversion score to be widely different because of the question...

  11. HESI Score vs HESI Conversion Score

    203bravo replied to j-rod's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    HESI assigns weights to questions -- the more "difficult" a question is deemed to be the more weight it has in the scoring process... since no one but HESI knows the particular questions and their...

  12. Stethoscope for nursing school?

    203bravo replied to marisa.m's topic in General Students

    I received a Cardiology III many years ago when I finished Paramedic school and I also use it to this day.. just have had to replace the ear tips a couple of time.

  13. TEAS or DEAT?

    203bravo replied to aquakenn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't be too concerned with the required entrance exam.. there are several on the market TEAS, HESI, PAX, DEAT.... the required learning objectives and clinical hours are dictated by the state...

  14. Rad tech thinking of nursing

    203bravo replied to Mybabies123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went back in my mid 40's (and there were 3 of us in the BSN program) and currently just finished the 1st semester of a FNP program in my late 40's..Never too late. Best of

  15. Prereqs way in advance?

    203bravo replied to YeahMan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't... many schools require that your sciences be taken within the past 4-5 years or you will need to repeat them.... I would suggest that you talk to the nursing program that you are...

  16. PCA pumps and basal rates

    203bravo replied to wcsmith1's topic in General Students

    Not exactly sure of your question here --- the basal rate on a PCA pump is a preset amount of medication that is to be infused regardless of if the patient is pressing the demand button.. Then you add...

  17. Nursing Schools That Do Not Require Exams For Entry

    203bravo replied to Lyonda's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You do realize that that many of the exams you will encounter in nursing school will be standardized not to mention that the NCLEX is a multiple choice standardized exam and many of the questions are...

  18. What was the cost of your Family Nurse Practitioner Program?

    203bravo replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Not sure you read it correctly -- if you are enrolled in the RN-BSN-MSN program then the MSN portion of that program is 33,600.. If you enroll directly in the FNP MSN program -- assuming you already...

  19. Relocating to Texas and need help with schools

    203bravo replied to mjimenez5735's topic in School, College Programs

    TASP Exemptions: Students with the following test scores are exempt from the TASP requirement unless they are seeking teacher certification: (a) SAT total of 1070 and verbal 500 and math 500 -- SAT...

  20. Is this fair?

    203bravo replied to CallMeSally's topic in General Students

    Dollars to doughnuts it's not 10k to simply resit an exam.. OP mostly likely must repeat the entire semester and tuition is 10k.... I just cannot imagine any school for profit or public that would...

  21. Is this fair?

    203bravo replied to CallMeSally's topic in General Students

    Weather it fair or not is irrelevant -- it is school policy and I must assume that you knew this going into the program.. so your choice is to pay the fee and retake the exam or move

  22. Does this Family Nurse Practitioner program sounds shady?

    203bravo replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    my thoughts exactly.. and just doing a little digging on their website.. they only admit 18 FNP students each semester.. so WHY are they scrambling in December to still fill seats for their Spring...

  23. Does this Family Nurse Practitioner program sounds shady?

    203bravo replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sounds like you may have answered your own question --- especially with the high pressure pitch to get you sign a promissory note so quickly... I'd attempt to do a lot more research on them prior to...
