  3. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    SC APRN replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    There is no state requirement for BSN now, or in the future. Read the IOM 2010 report, that recommends 80% BSN, and doubling the number of DNPs by 2020. Also look up the CT nurse practice act, CNA (CT...

  4. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    SC APRN replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    They should not increase the program due to popularity. There aren't enough jobs for the graduates now, and many people are getting their BSN in order to get hired. If you think the lottery is unfair...

  5. Online course review :)?

    SC APRN replied to Simpleangel's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My scores were low enough to scare me, but I was doing great on Hurst and other questions I practiced. Don't worry too much about the

  6. Online course review :)?

    SC APRN replied to Simpleangel's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It was my favorite review. Its very similar to NCLEX in my opinion and cheaper, many links to additional information. I did lots of questions and the units on the learning extension I was weak on,...

  7. Certifed Surgical Tech to RN

    SC APRN replied to kellerj's topic in Operating Room

    I was compensated for my many years in the OR, and my orientation was half the time as a new grad or new OR nurse. Sometimes I found myself teaching my preceptor. so yes I feel you should be...

  8. Frustrated with RN-BSN classes

    SC APRN replied to microkate's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You don't really know what a program or individual courses are like until you are knee deep into it. I've had no problems with my classes so far, except Nursing Ethics it was basically the same as my...

  9. How do you handle all the reading?

    SC APRN replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Students

    I break it up into sections and never do more than 2 hours at once. I skip the stuff I already know. I am taking Nursing Assessment for RN-BSN 95% of it is stuff I learned in my ASN program and have...

    SC APRN replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    WOW, thank you all so much for the kind words. I am finally taking a vacation for the first time in years. I completed 4 classes for my BSN this summer and finally had time to really clean my house...

  15. PVT failed!!!!!!

    SC APRN replied to johnybhoi24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone I know that tried it got accurate results. Only one classmate refused to try it, she told everyone "it won't let you register for 45 days pass or fail" But I think it will, because scheduling...

  16. Pediatric Textbook help

    SC APRN replied to jolie_tasso's topic in General Students

    Is this a book you have access to online like Evolve? I printed copies of the chapter summaries for one of my books that was an older edition. helped a lot and saved me a ton of

  17. Night shift!

    SC APRN replied to megan9107's topic in General Students

    This is my last week on nights!! I do better when I sleep the same time each day or as close to it as possible. Also no coffee after 3am! Blackout curtains are a must! The first couple of shifts you...

  18. hurst or ncsbn?

    SC APRN replied to obloom14's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    NCSBN is harder and the questions are closer to NCLEX, in my opinion. $70 - 5 week online, cheap and on my schedule. I liked Hurst a lot, but their questions aren't challenging enough and the review...

  20. ADN's being pushed out

    SC APRN replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't think my BSN degree will make me a better nurse. I think having the intelligence, perseverance, dedication, integrity, and drive to gain the most education I can makes me a better nurse. I do...

  21. Anyone else frustrated by the pain scale??

    SC APRN replied to gomerblog's topic in General Students

    everyone deals with pain differently. I don't show my pain, I do expect my nurse to believe me when I say I need meds. its not about your body and how you express pain, but how your patient

  23. ADN class of 2013

    SC APRN replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    The OR is OK? I've been in the OR for 20 years I actually miss medsurg. I like interacting with patients and autonomy. The OR is a team effort which is really nice but you have to rely on the whole...

  24. What do you do when Work calls on your day off?

    SC APRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    "I'm having a glass of wine" that's my favorite reply. One nursing supervisor feels we should be answering our cells 24/7, if you don't call her back, she calls every 30 minutes and then asks why did...
