That sounds like a good idea, it appears much easier to get in a program once you have your RN. I really want my BSN and I love OU, the orientation was so organized, and the advisor were so helpful. I am going to attempt OU again when my prereqs are done; you never now. If that doesn't workout. I will consider LPN to RN at the community college level, there aren't many LPN to BSN, I only know of one and it is too expensive. I have quite a load to go, A&P, Micro and chem. What ADN program are you in? Is it going ok?

What a great collection of resources. Thank you so much.

It depends on the facility or type of dept requirements . Many do require med testing. Brush up on a few basic calculations just so you will be prepared. Good Luck in your new position.

I believe budgets are hitting all over, I attended OU info session and for the BSN traditional, It was most likely that I wouldn't get in until 2015-16 That is crazy who can wait that long.

Hi, Congrats on your new position. After working 10 yrs, mostly LTC and Rehab. My transition to in-house Hospice wasn't too bad. It took some research on my part, especially regarding family grief, medications, pain, and symptom management. A clinical procedual manual always comes in handy if you have been out direct patient care for a while. Hospice has it's challenges as in any setting, however, I have found it very fulfilling. Best wishes.

Hello Michigan.....Sterling Heights here. Have a few questions? -Did you complete all your prereqs before entering excelsior? -Do they wave any courses for LPN's? -How was the admission process? -How do you like the program so far? What type of study material are you using? If would be great to network with you all. HAPPY HOLIDAYS....
