  5. New Grad RN, BSN wants to know if working in SNF is a dead end?

    shockable_rhythm replied to FutureFlightRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If it is a good opportunity take it. SNF is a valid field. I know quite a few nurses who started out in LTC/SNF and later moved on to work in a hospital. Hospitals are saying they want acute care...

  6. New grads: what did you do with your notes from nursing school?

    shockable_rhythm posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here's a question: did you save your notes/powerpoints from nursing school or get rid of them? For those that saved them: do you ever refer to them? I have about 5 big notebooks full of...

    shockable_rhythm replied to shockable_rhythm's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. Online schools approved by PA Board

    shockable_rhythm replied to mkdwhnpbc's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah I've never heard of an RN-BSN/MSN program needing to have the state board of nursing's seal of approval but I would make sure they have good national/ regional accreditation and look around for...

  10. Online schools approved by PA Board

    shockable_rhythm replied to mkdwhnpbc's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well I know Drexel is a great PA school that does an online RN-MSN, they are pricey though. Penn State and Slippery Rock are State University's that offer online RN-BSN programs. I'm strongly...

  11. NCLEX-A grade would be nice!

    shockable_rhythm replied to zillionthnewgrad's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Most nurses I've talked to think the NCLEX questions have very little to do with real-life nursing. I don't think that many would be that impressed with how well someone did on their NCLEX. I will...

  15. Med focus???

    shockable_rhythm replied to o2BRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Whew! Glad to hear that studying like that worked for you. I figure there is a good reason the teachers are drilling those meds into our heads! It's so easy to get stressed out about where to focus...

  16. Do I need a BSN or will a MSN do?

    shockable_rhythm replied to DisneybearRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well, in the RN-MSN programs that I have seen, you do actually get a BSN in the process. You earn A BSN while taking Master's level courses and then move on to taking MSN courses. So you'd have a BSN...

  17. Med focus???

    shockable_rhythm replied to o2BRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  19. How high is a blood pressure (tycally) when it causes someone to have a stroke?

    shockable_rhythm replied to Orange Tree's topic in General Nursing

    Those systolic numbers are both pretty high! A stroke isn't the only thing you have to worry about with chronic high BP- renal failure is another issue. Also, the amount of time someone has...

    shockable_rhythm replied to shockable_rhythm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks Nat, gives me something to think about. I have had some good experiences taking online classes. I felt like I got as much as not more out of it than I would have taking an in-person class. But...

    shockable_rhythm replied to shockable_rhythm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was looking that the Hurst review too, but I haven't seen as many good reviews for it as I have for Kaplan. I'm still considering just studying from books- i have Saunders, Kaplan and am getting...

  24. Can You Ask for More?

    shockable_rhythm replied to Sl1011's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It can't hurt to ask, but I would try to pharase it in a way that is easy to back out of this they won't negotiate. Maybe If they offer you $15 to start you can ask about receiving a higher wage once...
