Can a CNA get in trouble if a patient gets out of bed and falls despite the bed alarm was not turned on? Reason for asking this is that this happened to a friend of mine, who works as a CNA.

i was previously in a bsn program last spring 2010. however, i quit the bsn program due to personal reasons. at that point, i was devastated that i blew an opportunity to make something of myself. however, the tide turned this year. i told myself that i had a bad run in the bsn program and i wanted to make amends. i decided to re-apply again for nursing school. this time, i applied to 2 adn programs and got accepted into both of them. one adn program was 30 miles away from home. the other adn program was only 7 miles. i definitely chose the adn that was 7 miles away. with everything said, the one thing that i am worried is that i feel i will have a target on my back. in other words, how will the adn nursing program look at me despite being in a previous bsn program? side note: i have been accepted into this adn program for this fall 2011 semester. i will be going part-time only due to i already have my gen-ed's all completed. i only have to worry about the nursing core classes, in which the adn program has 8 courses. the good thing about this is that i can focus 2 courses per semester. any feedback?

Answering the comments Caliotter3-True. Coriaa1-My prime goal is to get a MSN. I live in Peoria, IL. There is a local programs that offers MSN Programs. So, I will attend that school after my BSN. Icuuci-depends on where you live geographically. Roser13-I studied my keyster for this course. I passed the clinical because my clinical instructor knew that worked hard at what I did. However, my course instructor was not pleased with me. I would ask questions just to make sure that I knew the material. I wasn't the only one who didn't pass the class. Nine other students didn't pass either.

I've been told go to for the ADN because you'll have more clinical experience compared to BSN where the experience is less. That's just data I have gone off of.

I want the BSN very badly.

The following about to say takes a lot of courage to pull off, but I can do it. Here we go: Last Spring 2010, I was attending a BSN program. I was a J2 at the time. However, I ran into problems that ended my run in that particular BSN program. I did not pass one of my lectures. It was my second strike. I, previously, did not pass one of other classes. Nonetheless, I became back that next semester (Fall 2009) to pass that particular class with a "C". Anyways, to continue with my story. Before my dismissal from that BSN program, I warned the college of nursing about me not passing one of my classes and that the college of nursing said that they would be able to help me in any way. Here's where it goes very bad. I was not passing one of my classes. All Spring 2010 semester long, I asked the college and instructor (of that particular class that I was not passing) to help me in order to improve my grade so that I can pass. Both (the instructor and the college) hung me out to dry and refused to help me in order to succeed. I asked the instructor, "What do I need to?" The instructor replied back, "You are on your own." I didn't pass that particular nursing course due to not receiving help from anybody, not even the students. I struggled in that course so bad it was not funny. My BSN career was done. One of the college administrators asked to leave the college and not show up for the final exam of that course. I left the college in disarray. Over the Summer 2010, I said to myself that I had a bad run with this nursing program and that I wanted to give nursing a second shot. I started to gain a lot of my confidence back about still wanting to become an RN. -I got certified as a CNA -I talked to a couple of other nursing programs my area (other than the one I got dismissed from). -I told both programs how I got treated at my previous college of nursing and the end of result. -Both nursing programs are willing to give a second chance. However, there are some things that I would have to follow: One program is an ADN program and the other is a BSN program. The ADN program told me that I would have to do the clinicals by order of semester, starting with the Fall 2011 semester (basically, I would have to repeat the wholistic nursing course plus clinical all over despite being a licensed CNA) and go part-time in the program. As for the BSN program, they told me that I would start back as a J2 and go part-time in the program. I agreed to both. The advantage is that I have no Gen-Ed's left to complete, but the clinicals for both programs. My question is should I go with the offer of: 3 semesters-receive an BSN or 4 semesters-receive an ADN? Thanks and sorry for the long story.

What are some organizations that offer nursing grants/scholarships? thanks

Is their any RN-BSN online programs that will accept ADN's who have their associates and have not take the NCLEX-RN, yet? thanks

"Legit" to me means an actual RN-BSN program.

Question: What are some legit NLNAC accredited RN-BSN online nursing programs? Reason for asking is that I'm planning on starting a RN-BSN online. thanks

RN-BSN

With the soccer background, I can answer this. An athlete's BP is in the ballpark of 100-120 over 55-65. For instance, my BP 5 days ago was 100/60. Perfect. The diastolic number of 60 is considered "normal" for an athlete. So don't be scared if you see the range given above. It's considered normal.

If I am making the right decision about what I am doing?

Sorry about that! I meant ADN, not AND.
