  1. ASN Cancelled?

    Donald11 replied to KimGau's topic in General Students

    I was recently reading that many states are considering laws that would require nurses to get a BSN within 10 years of being licensed. I think these requirements are outrageous and are only being...

  2. Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    Donald11 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    "If you are unwilling to take a risk and help someone then Nursing is not the profession for you. If you are only willing to take that risk when you are getting paid, then Nursing is not for you. When...

  4. university of phoenix RN and clinicals???

    Donald11 replied to alyCNA's topic in School, College Programs

    If those students passed the NCLEX, then their degree is not useless. Do you know what they call students who graduate from third tier medical schools?

  5. university of phoenix RN and clinicals???

    Donald11 replied to alyCNA's topic in School, College Programs

    I actually earned my BS degree (non-nursng) online so I thought I would chime in. First off, no nursing program is 100% online due to the clinicals. Also, since when does Univ. of Phoenix admit non...

  6. Saw a car accident; I wish I was already a nurse!

    Donald11 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Even if your a nurse, the best thing to do is to call 911 and nothing else. If your a nurse and make a mistake while treating the victims, it is a lot easier for them to sue you since your not...

    Donald11 replied to Jaycee77's topic in Philippines

    So is Kennedy Global a distance learning program (excluding the clinicals)? If it is, how and where do you take

  9. Running out of Steam!

    Donald11 replied to tlc365's topic in General Students

    If NS is really that bad, you can roll over all your credits into Excelsior's ADN program and have your degree sooner rather than later. You won't have a BSN, but you will still be able to become an...

  10. What subjects is everyone taking at the moment?

    Donald11 replied to Zoe*aka*studentnurse's topic in General Students

    I'm taking A & P online this September. I've done tons of online courses in the past and foudn them easy. The good thing about A & P online is that, as long as the exams are not proctored,...

  11. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    Donald11 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I'm going into nursing because of the relatively good pay, the job security, and the option of choosing from dozens of different career paths. Many people think that as a nurse you just get stuck in...

  12. LPN Program Easier than RN Program?

    Donald11 posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I was wondering what the main differences between an LPN and RN program are (besides length). Is an LPN program any easier than an RN program? Are there any LPN classes that have a reputation for...

  13. Should I pursue a BSN or LPN

    Donald11 replied to girtenbt's topic in LPN to RN

    Nursing definitely does not seem to be an industry that values education in the form of financial incentives. My mother one started a BSN program through the mail (back when online education did not...

    Donald11 replied to in2ICU's topic in General Students

    I am not sure about the training. I am pretty sure that when you start, someone goes along with you. In fact, I remmeber back when I was in high school, my mother was supervising a new RN who was...

  15. Most new-grad GN/RN jobs filled by techs in St. Louis (2010)

    Donald11 replied to in2ICU's topic in General Students

    Why are you limiting yourself to hospitals when you apply for jobs? Apply to homecare, you make more and do half the work. Hospitals are nothing more than sweat shops. All of the nurses and doctors...

  16. Most new-grad GN/RN jobs filled by techs in St. Louis (2010)

    Donald11 replied to in2ICU's topic in General Students

    No, I have not atrated NS yet, but I don't need to go to NS to know that it is hard and not a piece of cake like many other college majors are. I actually have substantial contacts in the health care...

  17. Should I pursue a BSN or LPN

    Donald11 replied to girtenbt's topic in LPN to RN

    $19 for a BSN? Where are you? In my area, LPNs start off at $23. The pay in my area is high since the cost of living is expensive and most nurses are

  18. Degree or experience, what are employers looking at?

    Donald11 replied to free2liv's topic in LPN to RN

    What do you mean by diplioma? I thiought the mimimum requirement to be an RN is an associates degree. A diploma is for LPNs. If you did the diploma option, would you even be able to sit for the...

  19. LPN Program Easier than RN Program?

    Donald11 replied to Donald11's topic in LPN to RN

    So RN school must be quite easy for you since your already an LPN? If everything is just a review of what you know, you should have gone with Excelsior this way you can test out of classes instead of...

  20. Most new-grad GN/RN jobs filled by techs in St. Louis (2010)

    Donald11 replied to in2ICU's topic in General Students

    I disagree with your advice. Getting a job will make it much harder to get through NS. Concentrate on your

  21. Is this the career of an RN?!

    Donald11 replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    My mother is a home-care RN and sometimes I went to work with her. She does not clean up poop at all. I noticed many people here said that when they becoem full fledged nurses they will do the nasty...

  22. Do not know What to do,,PLEASE HELP!!

    Donald11 replied to Jessik's topic in General Students

    Social work has been consistently ranked as one of the lowest paying professions requiring a college degree. I think it would be foolish to give up nursing to become a SW. In my area, garbage-men...

    Donald11 replied to gasperinvan's topic in LPN, LVN Students
