Do you work in admissions to the college? I saw that admittance requirements includes letters of recommendation to prove my ability to succeed.. Unfortunately, I don't have that since I have taken a break from Nursing. I have previous employers that will provide it though. I made in the 90's on my last TEAS. I need to take it again.

Did you need verification of employment from HR, or letters of recommendation? I have been taking a break from Nursing, so I haven't worked in 1 year.

I am considering this program.. Have you figured out how much tuition is? The online chart just doesn't make sense to me, and when I tried to call the program directly I left a message but never received a call back. I know they're very busy, so I figured maybe I would ask somebody that was accepted how much their tuition will be because I'll be coming from three and a half hours away out of state

How much is the tuition of this program? For some reason I am unable to view it on my phone, laptop is toast. Is it in state rates since it is online?

Due to Cancer I was unable to attend, but I had a 96 TEAS and was accepted to 3 programs that I had to back out of. You need to be around 89 for this College.

Hello Murse EZ, I have some advice/hints that I hope can help you. I am autistic, I am on the spectrum. Back in the day they called it Asperger's. I was formally DX with that as a child. I struggled with coworker relations for the first year until I met ANOTHER autistic Nurse and she helped me quite a bit. I hope that this helps you. Please BE AUTHENTICALLY YOU. ? - I always ask the NOC Nurse or AM Nurse "Do you prefer a big report or only the exceptions?" Many NOC Nurses work with the same people day after day, month after month, so they may know them well. They ONLY want to be informed of the BIG stuff, anyone on ABT, IV, or only BIG changes. It is rude to clicky clack fingernails, I would have politely said "Hey Murse EZ, I know these people well, anything acute going on?" ?

How did you prove the 1,000 employment hours? I work SNF through agency, a few facilities, so I wondered how I would prove this. I have been a Nurse for 11 years

Does anyone have info r/t proving employment? I work Agency and staff SNF. I have worked and completed contracts at 30 facilities. Would my travel agency be able to verify?

I was born in 1982 and do not consider myself a millennial. There is another term I prefer, and age range, which is better. Xennial. Born between 1976-1983

When I say this, I mean it... WELL DONE. You did the very best you could with the information you had, that is all you can do. Crazy things will happen, and you have to use your best judgement to make decisions. In the future your judgement may/ will change based on experience. ?

I am on those women that has been accused of using abortion as birth control, but I have zero regrets and advocate for contraception AND abortion. I was great about using BC pills, until I had a bi polar manic phase due to not being able to afford my meds that month because of car issues. Everything within my life went chaotic, I did not take my BC pills- simple as that. I still had sex though, I was married and not going to NOT have sex. We were both college students just getting by. I was 20 when I had my first abortion at 7w 5 days pregnant, and I had an IUD inserted while I was still asleep from the anesthesia. WINNING. IUDs are awesome, BTW. Life began to look up! I qualified for pt assistance for meds, and have been stable ever since.. Age 22, just 2 years after having my IUD inserted, I was pregnant. Crap, so I had my second abortion and then had another IUD inserted because they ARE very effective. Fast forward 12-13 years later. I had my tubes tied, never had another unwanted pregnancy. I graduated college, traveled the US and the world, I am VERY fortunate. To this day I am a travel Nurse and road trip all of the time. My life has been great, I have no regrets as far as my abortions are concerned. I ended up working for the same abortion provider until he retired in 2012. I had amazing medical care, the Nurse anesthetist, RN/LPN staff, and physician, were all amazing. I am thankful that we have choices, each and every one of them. I believe in CHOICE. No coersion, no threats, just support a woman in any choice she makes.

Shoot, as soon as the outbreak began I said to myself, TITERS. I am not taking a chance that my vaccination was good enough.. They are telling a few age ranges that we may need another.

I remember everything that I learned from my science classes. Maybe I am an outlier, but I HIGHLY doubt it. Nurses do not simply carry out orders and do what "The physician tells us/writes on an order". We THINK, we ensure the order is correct and carry it out if it is correct. On a weekly basis I am calling a physician to VERY politely mention that a patient is allergic to the Sulfa ABTs ordered, can "we" make a switch. You have to THINK critically. This means you must dig into your depth of knowledge to practice our profession. You cannot view it as a trade, it is a true profession.

LPN here. . my program required chemistry as a pre req. I took the same pharmacology class that my BSN program teaches, so I tested out of it. I took Med Surg, 1 and 2. I took mother and baby, peds, even did an OR clinical.. YES, you will use them. The teachers are not going to spoonfeed you. If they lecture about a drug and state "This works on the ascending loop of henle", you should already know what that is. If not, they are not going to teach you and you are SOL.

I am an LPN that is currently in a BSN program. I was able to skip Nursing 101. I already had all of the pre reqs, so I was able to go into upper division major which is Nursing classes. I have read the research. Facilities with more BSN prepared Nurses have better outcomes. It makes sense for me to get my BSN since I want to be an RN. I am excited, actually.
