  1. I am also considering Chamberlain. I'm waiting on transcript evaluation at this point. A girl I work from the hospital is in her last semester at Chamberlain. She talked highly of the program, lots...
  2. online rn to bsn chamberlain college

    I was concerned also about not having clinical. In my review of many programs, many do not require clinical time for BSN. I asked one school, that I thought had them and the response "we assume that...
  3. Chemotherapy administration

    I've been in oncology for 9 + years and those drugs still scare the heck out of me. As the charge nurse, I review &/or revise our department policy book no less than yearly. You can find...
  4. Okay, I'll say it.... OMG!!!!!!! Really do I really want my BSN? lol. I need some answers already.... how much and what do I have to take! Chamberlain called again this week (3 times) to tell me if...
  5. online nurse practitioner

    I'll be emailing you...
  6. As you can see if you look, I've posted quite a view comments and questions regarding online programs for BSN and MSN. Why, I'm exhausted doing the research, I want more in my career and I've always...
  7. Again, thank's everyone. For the one who suggested marriage therapy... been there done that saw the movie. He is, shall we say, on a different planet than I am most of the time and likes it. With...
  8. Thank you all for your replies! Hubby and I don't communicate well, someone always gets mad, says stuff, he goes to his standard "I'm just an A$$" like that's his excuse ...... you know what I'm...
  9. IWU and Chamberlain

    I am kind of seeing that also. Less classes ahead. I'm waiting for transcripts evaluation to finish my decision making. If it is a quick as it sounds, and I can put in the time I could be done...
  10. I just reviewed the program on line. Do you really need algebra for college students if you took algebra in college during pre nursing for a
  11. Algebra at Chamberlain

  12. IWU and Chamberlain

    hi kaycee, I'm right there with you on the dizzy side of things. I've been looking for about a week or so. I am considering 2 Chamberlain and Kent State University. I sent my apps off today, paid my...
  13. online nurse practitioner

    I also can't get information from U of C on line, bad links. I find this thread very valuable and thank you all for your experience sharing. I'm very conflicted right now. I wanted to go to med...
  14. OCN Exam ?'s

    Ask your friendly drug rep if they have any study guides for you. My one tip of advice is, yes, it's an Oncology Certification Exam but it's still a NURSING exam. Remember- read the questions...
  15. Will this get any easier?

    Oncology is a strange place. Many many of the patient are going to die.... but ..... all patients are going to die. The difference is, many are terminal from the day we meet them. I look at it...
  16. Hummmm, you pose an interesting question. I, myself, am outpatient oncology. Our hospital has an inpatient unit that is also a Med Surg floor. If that's the case I'd say go for it. If it's...
  17. Kent State

    I'm currently applying to the KSU RN-BSN program on line. I took my pre-reqs many years ago at YSU taking A & P I and II. I'm curious to see what transfers. There was some discussion on the...
  18. Question on lab. Test

    It sounds like a good general workup which is needed for those things that don't have an obvious answer as a starting point and an inexpensive workup to check what the doctor might already suspect. I...
  19. Maybe you could develop a report sheet for yourself that includes the questions you want to know and run them off on the copy machine. Admitting dx, changes, dx tests, bx results, labs, etc. You...
  20. None without an order. Check your organization for standing
  21. I fainted today in the ICU!

    When I was in pre nursing ed I took an EMT class. We did a rotation in the ER. There was a man who's hand had been caught under a car, torn to shreds. That bothered me a bit, but what got me the...
  22. I agree with the not walking onto a floor with your resume. I get resumes sent to me in the mail and I send them to HR. I'd do the same with a hand carried because that's who does the actual hiring....
  23. Frustrated preceptor

    Yowsah! I would document everything. I do a daily anecdotal on all orients with what we did, what needed work, what I witnessed, good skills, things that need further review, etc. This nurse seems...
  24. do other careers get "write-ups" as much as nurses?

    Nursing is sadly a dog eat dog world to some. I've worked with nurses and managers who will "write up" the slightest thing. I don't get it myself. I'm a charge nurse, tough but fair, I think. I...
  25. FMLA

    Check with your hospitals policy. At our facility you have had to have worked x amount of hours in 12 months to qualify for FMLA protection. It's a federal program so you could check your state's...
