1. HELP! HR benefits mess/nightmare

   BulletBlueSky posted a topic in Career Support

   Hello, So, I started my first nursing job a little over a month ago. Last week, I went online to signup for my health benefits and I see the option for Health Savings Account. The HSA sounded interesting but I wanted more information about them befo...

   BulletBlueSky replied to TonieRN's topic in NP Students

   Hello, I am also considering Frontier for their FNP program. Can someone confirm that I am reading this correctly..."Registered nurses who have an Associate Degree in Nursing but no baccalaureate degree in any discipline will be considered for admiss...

3. Do i need a license to be a navy nurse?

   BulletBlueSky replied to paulschwinn's topic in Government

   What was the issue that didn't allow the BON to grant you a license? That same issue could keep you from joining the military...

4. University of Central Missouri

   BulletBlueSky replied to RebeNurse's topic in NP Students

   Have you started yet? I also plan on applying to that FNP program? Can I ask what your GPA is? Mine is only a 3.25. Do you know if that is high enough to be competitive>?

5. Can i do just 75 questions for 6 hours?

   BulletBlueSky replied to ineverseeu's topic in NCLEX

   I wouldn't attempt to game the system. Sure you can spend 6 hours on 75 questions if you want, but when the time runs out, that doesn't guarantee a pass. Also, the more time you spend on a question won't guarantee you got the question right. I can s...

6. Good study book for PN-NCLEX

   BulletBlueSky replied to stacey914's topic in NCLEX

   I am also in an LPN school right now with plans to bridge immediately following graduation. My school gave us a copy of Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX PN by Linda Anne Silvestri. I have read great reviews on Amazon about this book. I'm g...

7. Anyone here starting the Cass Career Center LPN Program in August??

   BulletBlueSky replied to DelanaRN's topic in Missouri

   Delana, I'm a couple of months into the program at CCC and I'm really impressed so far. My plan even before starting at CCC was to eventually bridge at Park, but it looks like you weren't really impressed with Park, is that right? Are there any other...

   BulletBlueSky replied to msrob's topic in Travel

   I would suggest checking with USAJOBS.gov, there are DOD (US Government, Department of Defense) medical facilities all over the world that serve the various members of the US Military serving at bases in Spain, Japan, England and the majority, if not...

9. nervous about the TEAS test...

   BulletBlueSky replied to nurse nina's topic in General Nursing

   It would be worth your time to but the ATI TEAS test prep book that comes with two practice tests. Like others have said, focus on the Math, Reading and English. Unfortunately, if you are weak in Science, even the TEAS prep book, won't help much. I'm...

10. RN opening at VA Hospital in Des Moines HIRES NEW GRADS!!

    BulletBlueSky replied to I<3Nursing's topic in General Nursing

    That's exciting, I'm just starting school this year, but I will certainly check with the Des Moines VA when I graduate. I have heard nothing but good things about working at the VA as an RN!

11. Least competitive states for LPN program?

    BulletBlueSky replied to carrierpatnode's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to an LPN program at Cass Career Center in Harrisonville,MO. They accept 27-30 applicants every year and from what I can see as long as you get at least a 75 on your TEAS test then you are bound to get in on your first try. It is a public ...

12. Anyone here starting the Cass Career Center LPN Program in August??

    BulletBlueSky replied to DelanaRN's topic in Missouri

    DelanaRN, thanks for the positive words for CCC. I was thrilled to find it and I live reasonably close to Harrisonville. I applied to both CCC and Northland Career Center. I'm sure Northland would have been a fine program too, but the drive would hav...

13. Waiting acceptance/rejection letter....

    BulletBlueSky replied to ambition2012's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you definitely earned a spot in the upcoming class! It stinks that you have to wait so long to find out if you were accepted or not. Best of luck!

14. Can you get an RN degree online?

    BulletBlueSky replied to leamarie10's topic in School Programs

    Hi, I am aware of online colleges to bridge an LPN to RN, but that is about it. Also, something to consider if you were able to find such a program would be clinicals. You might be able to find a program that offers an online RN degree, but I am pret...

15. Military ADN

    BulletBlueSky replied to luftjagerCLPN's topic in Government

    Shawn, I've looked into Air Force Nursing as well. From what I can tell, there are not active duty military compenents that allow you to serve fulltime as an ADN. Most reserve components have reserve nurses with an ADN. I believe the closest thing yo...
