Classes = does that included statistics, english, or any random class such as art history??

Has anyone taken or is in the RN to BSN online program through Cumberland?? It is a little on the expensive side, but they seem to skip all of the 'fluff' classes, which is one reason I am interested in them.

It doesn't appear to be online? Oklahoma City University : Kramer School of Nursing

Currently looking at OKWU! Thanks! I don't want to take the lazy route for the BSN, so I apologize if I appear that way. I just enjoy putting a lot of my effort into the care for my patients than I do on getting some letters at the end of my name tag. : 2cents:

Hi everyone. Looking to jump on the bandwagon and go back to get my BSN. I don't want to.... at all... but I'm going to do it. I may be asking for a lot, but I'm looking for any online school that allows you to achieve your BSN without stats, chemistry, or foreign language. I don't really care about the cost to be honest. I just don't want to take these. Any help would be appreciated!

Anybody?

Hello everyone. I've been an RN for over a year, and have worked on a Med/Surg (primarily Surgical) unit for over a year. I relocated to a smaller hospital after ADN school, and have really enjoyed it. I have great co-workers, solid 7a-7p hours, and am respected and well liked by patients and co-workers. Here's my problem: I hate the city where I live. I relocated down here from the city because I didn't want to make the commute (like two of my peers made). After a solid year of acute care experience, I have applied to two hospitals back in the city and have gotten interviews for both. One is a cardiology unit, and the other is for an ER position. Today just had a telephone interview about 10mins ago for the ER position and thought it went pretty well. I'm always a glass half empty type of guy, so I know there could always be improvement with anything. My face to face interview for the ER position is on the 11/21. My interview for the cardio unit is on the 26th. My main problem is that I need references (particuarly my manager/supervisor) for these interviews. How do I go about asking my nurse manage and supervisor this? I just had my one year review last week (which was a month late) and was told how great, liked, and awesome I've been as an RN. Again, I love my co-workers and boss. I am liked (not trying to be cocky) and respected by staff and physcians. I feel as if I bring a bit of youthful fun and energy to my unit. But I do miss home, and the city.... I feel selfish for wanting to leave a good thing; and I'm sure they are sick of one year 'dippers'. Any advice on my situation?

Hello everyone. First and foremost I want to say how wonderful of a community this place is. Lot's of great advice, information, and solid vents. I come here every day to read (rarely comment) much of your experienced postings. I've been an RN for over a year, and hav worked on a Med/Surg (primarily Surgical) unit for over a year. I relocated to a smaller hospital after ADN school, and have really enjoyed it. I have great co-workers, solid 7a-7p hours, and am respected and well liked by patients and co-workers. Here's my problem: I hate the city where I live. I relocated down here from the city because I didn't want to make the commute (like two of my peers made). After a solid year of acute care experience, I have applied to two hospitals back in the city and have gotten interviews for both. One is a cardiology unit, and the other is for an ER position. I just had a telephone interview about 10mins ago for the ER position and thought it went pretty well. I'm always a glass half empty type of guy, so I know there could always be improvement with anything. My face to face interview for the ER position is on the 11/21. I think the ER would be an awesome place to work, but I am quite nervous about it. I have lots of stress on my unit, but I think the ER would be WAY more stressful and acute. I'm still 23 and feel as if I can find another 'niche', thus is why I applied for the ER position. On top of that, I would also be coming back home to the city. I question if I can keep up with the hectic/stressful chaos of an ER.... but I don't know if that's just my 'glass half empty' self talking. I love my job and co-workers, but I'm tired of where I live. There is nothing to do... This ER position would be back home, with better pay (higher cost of living too); but will it be worth it? I'm excited but hesitant... Am I selfish for wanting to leave a good job/co-workers that I am comfortable with after so far one year? Any input/advice is welcomed.

THANK YOU so much for the replies of advice and tips; I really appreciate that. I work day shift, 7a-7p; and my first day was very exciting, but terrifying. I didn't screw up majorly or anything like that, but I felt like such a newbie that I thought at times to myself privately, "did I even GO to nursing school?" What happened in this one day of RN work seemed so different that what clinicals and school was all about. I felt shell shocked to be honest with you. It seemed like a million things were going through my head at once, and I was only picking out little things here and there. I keep repeating it, but I felt like I didn't know anything; and I just felt like I was a witness to take your child to work day. I did have an awesome preceptor who was super nice and informative. We had five patients together, and I pretty much got to do 'everything' with two of them. Practicing my assessments, passing some meds, and doing a few nursing skills was what we started with. But I think the thing that makes me nervous and crazy is the communication aspect of nursing. I feel like there are words and phrases/codes that I don't even know, that these nurses and MD use with each other on a very consistent basis. How do you know who to call to answer this question, how do you know this patient needed this and that. I just felt so lost at times, and I really asked myself in my head "wow, do you know what you got yourself into? Can you handle it?" I say yes I can handle it... but I tremble thinking about if I really CAN handle it. Will I be able to answer this patients question? Can I answer this MD's order or request? Will I know the answer to this family members question? Will I know how to document this, chart that. Can I perform this nursing skill? Will I choke? I'm excited, but still very afraid.

Tomorrow is my very first day as a real RN, on a surgical/pediatric unit. I have goosebumps and an unpleasant stomach at the moment. I feel like I don't remember a darn thing from nursing school, and feel that I could have a brain freeze at any second on the floor! I've also relocated to work at this hospital. I don't know many people at all.. in fact I don't know anyone. I'm awfully quiet around new co-workers and people in general (not so much patients), and feel like I could go mute without ever realizing it. Any advice and tips on surviving the first day, or even first couple weeks? As a guy, I've never been too 'afraid' of anything. But tomorrow is making my knees shake, and my heart beat like crazy. I'm in TACHY mode!!! :redbeathe

No you are not late! The interview is Thursday! Thanks for the advice/tips. More are always welcomed!

Wow I feel like I would freeze! Just thinking right now alone in my room, it is hard to come up with some past clinical experiences!! And they weren't even that LONG ago!

I am very excited, as I got a call from a local hospital for a position on the surgical floor! With this excitment, I am very nervous; especially about being grilled by questions about surgical nursing! Can't say I've hit the books recently (especially after passing NCLEX; I've just been enjoying summer to the fullest!) Any tips/advice for my first 'real' interview? Thank you.

I tried FROEDTERT Hospital today with two applications, and already got the rejection letter. Now I am on to Aurora...

I can definitely commute; and just finished filling out some apps at some hospitals in Mil-town! "Fingers crossed."
