Hi- Congratulations on wanting to go back for your BSN. The nurses I know that received their BSNs from Regents are great nurses. I checked into their program about 6 years ago, at that time there were several nurses that said they were having problems scheduling their clinical rotation tests. I don't know if that's the case now or not. I chose Graceland College's Distance BSN program and it was great. I graduated 3 years ago, and felt like it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Everything to do with Graceland is first class all the way. (It was expensive though...) I'm getting my MSN through a distance program from UNLV now, and I've come to think you can choose to make your education what you want. If Regents delivery format works the best for yo, go for it. If you are not sure, take some time and look into all that's available. There are many state colleges that are offering RN>BSN programs( I think they can see there is big money in it. ) now, and they will cost a lot less. I know that Montana State University and the University of Nevada at Reno (UNR) both offer BSN programs completley on-line now. Good Luck !

Hi- I've worked both *'s and 12's. For hospital work, 12's are great. When I worked in ICU I worked from 5A-5P. It was better the usual 7A-&P. the night shift nurses like it alot too. better for getting home before school etc. I'm really spoiled now though. I'm a school nurse. We get M-F with all the same vacation days as the kids, plus our summers off. It's heavenly....
