So, how is the unit? I have been thinking about applying and relocating if successful? Any info would be much appreciated!

I am truly sorry for your experience. I have been a nurse for 2.5 years with a little over a year at an ICU at that same "no trauma designation" hospital you are describing...However, we have online support with the ability to run a code, video asses...

Are most units at the Atlanta VA on 12s or 8s? Thanks.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated! I am in the process of changing preceptors - the first was lack of communication and personalities' clash. I understand that what happened was 50 % my fault but really do not wish to repeat the experience my se...

I would highly appreciate any insight/advice and thank you in advance. I will be 44 when I graduate with my fully accredited BSN RN this December and hopefully pass the NCLEX shortly after. The area I live is saturated with RNs, so the VA is a possi...

Great post. I fully agree with you after two quarters in a BSN competitive entry (60% of us had a 4.0 GPA for the first quarter!) that reading everything will drive you nuts and you will NOT have a life. I do not, neither is my family. But this being...

Thanks. I ma already accepeted in Wright State's BSN program - it is year round and I should be out in 2 yrs and 1 semester.

No, not yet. My understanding is that we will not receive anything until the very dead line...regardless whether yes or no. So, I am too anxious but try to hang in there until the very last week of this month... Good luck ot you too. So sorry they ar...

Marshal, Thank you for your reply. I agree with you about UC; when I checked with them, they seemed still very confused about the transfer to semesters and did not have their curriculum straightened out. Plus, it would have been 3 years after a stupi...

Live Zen, Thank you for your detailed reply. These are exactly my intentions...however, it has been hard going back to school and keeping up with the credits loading I have to take in order to race with time...This will be a second career for me; hop...

Live Zen, Congratulations on graduation form Wright State! Was it hard fining a job? I now it was 2 yrs ago but any input woudl be appreciated. I am planning on trasnferring to WSU program this fall and was wondering whetehr they have good sites for ...

Hello I am not sure I am posting on the right thread but I need some urgent help or advice. Here is my situation - I am 41 years old and this is obviously a second career for me. I am currently on unemployment and we can pay our bills plus save. Howe...

Hello All How long is UC's BSN in Nursing program? When I looked at their curriculum, it looks so long - 4 years...Are they flexible enough to offer classes year-round? Just wanted to check before I actually make the trip there...I have send them an ...

Do you still have to attend classes (any) at cincinnati State in order for them to keep you on the wait list? When I get on it, I will have only one more quarter of full time clsses I could attend...I was looking into taking classes perhaps towards a...

That's just so bad if true. One of the major reasons I am here is that they offer clinicals twice a year vs. once (Sinclair or Raymond Walters). I also heard a rumor that they will be eliminating it completely. If they do, they will just go off GPA?...

Has anybody heard anything new on the current waiting list for the RN program and how the change to semesters is affecting it so far? Just wondering....Thanks to anybody who posts.

This is a great question especially in the current job market conditions...Thank you for bring it up. I am due to start working on my prereq in mid November and in three quarters get on the coveted waiting list - yes, it is a community college (both ...

Hi, Shanfuturenurse I understand that and did not mean anything else but prereqs... Let's try this - my e-mail is: [email protected] Let's try to get in touch, please.

Hello, Shanfuturenurse How do I get in touch with you about the instructors to avoid? I do not have 15 posts yet. I just had my meeting with my advisor and my head is spinning...I am going to have a very busy 2-4 quarters and is crucial that I have ...

Thank you All for the information - I will check that website when the time comes... For now, I am just very happy I tested out of Math last night...this will leave me with just Bio & Chem and STNA to take. Have already filled my Financial Aide ...

Happy2Learn You are in - I am not competing against you - everybody has their own path to follow - by the time I take my GE classes, you will already be on the waiting list. Even if miracles happen, I would have earned it. I talk to enough people to ...

Thank you Shanfuturenurse You are right - I did the math...and having in mind the employment outlook for LPNs - I will try to handle the wait time the best I can without worrying. How did you get such a short wait time? Did a lot of people drop off t...

Thank you, Night Owl RN That confirms the conclusion I came to and gives me some insight as to what route will be best. I did hear there are more jobs out there for STNA's than for LPN's and talking to somebody who actually did go that route is treme...

Thank you both so much. I already called the Compass Lab and found about the essays - so I am going to take it this Tuesday...have not had to sit for a test in over 18 years - I am nervous.... My ultimate goal is RN, I am not planning on becoming STN...

nvRgivNup Thank you so much - I believe my shots should be up to date - I just had to upgrade mine in 1999 - but I will double-check with my doctor - yes, still have medical insurance but not for much longer. Was your written English an Essay or sen...
