Hi all! I'm very interested in case management, and have been doing a lot of research into this specialty of nursing. I have been on a couple of interviews, and have been stumped by a couple of scenario questions... hoping someone could shed some lig...

I have an upcoming interview with this company, and couldn't find much about them on the internet either. Rnhm13 and Krytlebug, has the company contacted you for an interview?

Thank you all for your input! Now I feel better about the fact that I didn't understand these questions... They don't make much sense to me either. I really do appreciate you guys taking a stab at it! I have an interview coming up, and the company se...

I'm in Chamberlain's FNP program, and will be starting clinicals in October (I live in California). I have not secured a preceptor yet, but I have been assigned a fantastic clinical coordinator at the school who has been calling potential preceptors ...

I am currently taking two classes per term in Chamberlain's FNP program... it's very challenging, but it's been doable for me. I have three young children and work 20-30 hours per week. Most of the classes have two discussion posts due each week, and...

Chamberlain's classes are 8 weeks long, and so far they are all structured pretty much the same: two discussion posts due every week and a paper or some type of project due every other week. There is also a lot of assigned reading to do every week as...

I started Chamberlain's FNP program in September. It's been a great experience so far... the classes are well organized, the professors are very helpful, and the school has a great student services department. The cost was not much more than my local...

Hi all! I would love to get some input/advice from my fellow nurses. I have two job offers, and not sure which way to go. I recently graduated with my BSN, and my eventual goal is to become an FNP (I've just started a masters program that will take m...

Thank you for your input, KelRN215. :) BeezyRN, I'm really enjoying Chamberlain so far. A lot of student support and the courses seem very well organized. I've been pretty impressed. Best of luck to you! :)

Hi BeeGeeRN! It's nice to meet another Chamberlain student! I just started the program earlier this month. Congrats on getting in!! :)

I had the same GPA concern, so I called a few prospective graduate schools in California to ask about the whole WGU 3.0 situation. I was told that the minimum GPA for these programs is typically a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, but because a 3.0 is the highest ...

The only advice I have is to get organized, make a schedule for yourself (and your family), and make sure you allow yourself plenty of uninterrupted study time. I have 8 months left in my BSN program, and I have a 4 year old, 3 year old, and a 5-mon...

Hi nshRN, did you end up finding answers for your questions? I'm also interested in Walden, and I'm also from WGU (not done yet though). I spoke with an enrollment counselor at Walden, and he said they do not require work experience. Did you happen t...

Pardon me... APPROVED by the BON, ACCREDITED by the CCNE and Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities.

Actually, there is such a program... I know for a fact because I'm in one! :) It's a prelicensure BSN (meaning no RN required), coursework done online, and labs and clinicals done on-site. The school is called Western Governors University, it's accre...

Thank you, rbytsdy! I really enjoyed reading your reply! I can tell you're a very thoughtful and caring nurse. :) I'm not sure how many births the hospital has per year, but I'll have to look that up. I was actually born in the same hospital, so it'...

Hi all! I'm a second year nursing student, and I'm heading to OB clinicals in a couple of weeks. I will be spending 1 day in a high risk unit, 2 days in L&D, and 1 day in post partum. I've always dreamed of being an OB nurse, and I really want to...

OP, my dream nursing career is pretty much identical to yours! I would love to work as a school nurse while I work towards becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. :)

Lola34, I go to Western Governors University. It's a prelicensure program (not RN-BSN), but they only have the program available in a few states, including California and Texas (not sure of the other states). If you happen to live in any of the state...

I'm in a BSN program, and I have a 4 year old, 3 year old, and I'm 28 weeks pregnant with my third. My nursing program is very nontraditional... the coursework and didactic is all online, labs are on the weekends (averages about 1 weekend a month), a...

I'm also pregnant and in my first semester of school, due May 21st (scheduled c-section). I've had two prior c-sections (my children are now 3 and 4). I recovered surprisingly fast from those surgeries...about 4 weeks with the first and 2 weeks with ...

The clinicals are 12 hour shifts for 2 week periods (so you do 5 shifts within 2 weeks). There are about 9 or 10 clinical intensive periods over the course of the 24-month program. The first year you only have 3 clinical intensives, so most of them h...

I think it's a great idea! I'm a nursing student, but my previous degree is in Kinesiology, and I've had some experience in health coaching and fitness training. I always thought it would be cool to combine my two degrees and become a health coach RN...

The boot camp test follows a weekend (16 hours) of CNA skills. They'll have you perform around 5 skills from the 40+ skills you learn during the boot camp. Things like taking vitals, ambulating, making an occupied bed, etc. Not difficult skills, but ...

Hey guys! I'm in the Aug 2011 cohort in Pasadena... anyone else? I actually started in the January '11 in the Riverside cohort... I took and passed all of the coursework for term 1 but wasn't able to attend clinicals, so now I'm just waiting for clin...
