  1. Scrub skirts Nurses

    Hi. I'm having a hard time finding good scrub skirts. Seems I can only get them online around here. That's hard because if you don't like it you have to pay to return it and it's costing me money in the long run. I like the slimmer skirts (pencil) an...
  2. ADN to MSN

    FeatherzRN can you tell me what order you took you classes and/or any recommendations you have for the order you would recommend taking them?
  3. So I was all set to start Monday GCU but I decided to hold on because I started. I looked into WGU and it seemed impressive. Downfall is that I can't start it I was told till February and I didn't want to wait that long. At GCU it looks like I w...
  4. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    I have to take is as well. They're also making me take the adult and child psych class even though when I took it for my associates it was two separate classes and now it's one. I think it's a waste of time
  5. Starting the process for UTA

    I've decided to start WGU instead Much better program and very affordable. I'm starting February. I was hoping to start in January but they said it had to be February. You should look into it.
  6. Starting the process for UTA

    I just applied and sent everything they requested over. I hope to hear back soon. I currently work in a small hospital doing three 12 hours shifts. I've been trying to get into a larger hospital but have found all of them now in my area are requirin...
  7. Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!

    If you don't sign up to do RN to MSN and just do RN to BSN you will have to wait six months after getting your BSN to start the MSN. If you start the RN to MSN and decide to just do the BSN then they can change it.
  8. So I have to write and admission essay and I haven't written one in years. Any tips? Does anyone know what the essay is to be on or are they all different? If I knew what it was I could work on it but I have to log on and see what it is and do it ...
  9. Freaking out on admission essay!

    Would you say most classes are proctored or more of them are project based? I think I would get nervous with the proctored based classes. I get nervous! lol. Each class has a pre-assessment? Can you take those pre-assessments more than once? I app...
  10. Freaking out on admission essay!

    featherzRN Not sure if this was answered or not but I'm a little confused about the proctored part. Does every class have that? Is it only at the end of the class? Are the quizzes proctored? What does each class typically involve? Thanks
  11. Thanks. Makes lots of sense. I just need to decide. They both have + and - . There is also the financial aspect. I can get enough loans to cover GCU but do I want to add that to the already large educations loans I currently have? With WGU I will ...
  12. Freaking out on admission essay!

    I passed everything :)
  13. Freaking out on admission essay!

    I just did it. Not too bad. Now I'm just waiting for the results. I was told that I wouldn't be able to start until February. I was really hoping to start January. Is that the norm? I thought as long as everything was in and done by the 22nd I wou...
  14. Freaking out on admission essay!

    ok thanks :) I'm about to start it! Wish me luck! lol
  15. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    Those currently enrolled how are those proctored exams? Do you have one for each class? Do some just do papers and quizzes that are not proctored? Just wondering how much of a pain it will be to set up a time to schedule it. I'll do it at home wit...
  16. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    I had my fee waived by the advisor today :)
  17. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    I'm suppose to be starting GCU on Monday. Im really debating on WGU though. I like the fact that you don't have to post discussion questions twice a week and submit paper by Sunday. I'm thinking about telling GCU to hold off for now until I look into...
  18. Starting GCU December 9th RN-BSN

    I plan on doing the same. I'm going to work ahead as much as I can and post them when scheduled. That break will be good to catch up with all this adjusting to new schedule of now having to do school work. My son us having shoulder surgery on the 17...
  19. I'm taking the plunge! I start GCU December 9th. I'm scared but looking forward to it. I hope I like the setup and GCU. I was told that if I took one class and if I decided it wasn't for me then I could switch to another college. Any tips from any...
  20. Starting GCU December 9th RN-BSN

    Thanks everyone. I'm still looking for people who are starting with me. Starting a FB page is a good idea Flames9_RN. We have some things in common. Lol. I was raised in Canada. My husband is from Managua. Lol.
  21. University of Louisiana Lafayette

    I think they are pretty new to the online thing if I'm not mistaken. I looked in to them previously as well. Just be careful because from what I've noticed is that the cheaper programs have to you other classes you don't need with others and it wra...
  22. There are lots of talk about the hospital I work for closing their inpatient care. If this happens I will be out of a job along with many others in the area. I was offered as a visiting nurse. I have never done that but did job shadow for a day. I li...

    Dreaming4acute87. Thanks. I did see that site. I've actually ordered the cherokee on off of eBay and love it. I've ordered more on a scrub site but they are on backorder. Love they way cherokee fit. I did feel kind of attacked but I guess I must be ...
