To clarify, if you go to a school for BSN that doesn't offer PHN, one can still obtain the PHN on their own by completing the child abuse course? I got my ADN here in CA, but i'm now at GCU for BSN, which doesn't offer the PHN. I've tried calling the...

So far so good. Everyone has been very helpful and professional. Before looking into GCU I didn't know much about it, I thought it was another typical online degree type school like UOP. It's not, its actually very respectable University and I'm prou...

Yes I know exactly what you're talking about. I was told that the nurses commonly test out of Here's To Your Health, which seems basic enough for RNs. Testing out of 2 classes would be great! Would shave 10 weeks and a couple grand off of schooling. ...

Has anyone tested out of any upper division electives? I'm looking to take Here's To Your Health and also Substance Abuse tests to waive units

I start it on Monday. Excited to get the ball rolling on the bsn. In the 6 months I've been out of school I fear I've forgotten more than I should have

I will be starting at GCU January 20th. I will be taking the 12 core classes. I'm excited to begin! Hoping to stay in touch with some of you guys for support and encouragement! :)

Thank you, I did yank out the objectives entirely and bulleted the job duties. And I will fix some of the other things as well. I am enrolled for bsn and start classes this month. I would love to move a few hours away to find a job but it isn't poss...

Congrats on the job!

It takes a good length of time to receive your ATT, you just gotta be patient. The liazon for pearson has absolutely NOTHING to do with the brn authorizing a candidate to test. I had business with them because there was a technical error between the ...

always love your posts :)

Thanks. I'm hoping that starting bsn, tweaking my resume, and adding another cert. or 2 will be beneficial on this road, no matter how long it may be. On the plus side, at least I'll have some free time around the holidays for once :)

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the tips

Thank you, I really appreciate the advice! I will get on it

I've only been actively applying for a solid month. I know it takes a while, and I know that it will take lots of patience. I would have thought that after applying to well over 100 open jobs that I am qualified for, I would have heard something. I...

I have applied at clinics, rehabs, ltacs, and snfs. The jails and dialysis centers in my area wanted solid RN experience. I don't really know where else to look. I am in the process of enrolling for rn-bsn, just sent my transcripts this week. I'm ap...

bump.

Yes I had a very unsupportive family during nursing school. When I failed a term early on it was an I told you so moment for them. I heard the words "I figured that would happen" straight out of my dad's mouth. I dusted myself off and got right back ...

You're confusing yourself more than you need to. NCLEX priority questions, aka who to see first, are about who is MOST unstable or most at-risk. You need to analyze what would be expected for a given condition and what may be new onset/ unexpected. ...

Honestly, while a 3 year contract may not be ideal, I would take it. It sounds like a good job you would learn a lot from. Take it, if you want to look for per diem jobs as well, more power to you.

I would highly suggest going the bsn route AND getting a patient care job while in school. The market is rough and I can't imagine it getting much better any time soon, more like it's going to get worse. The more that you have going for you, the more...

Don't put it on your resume, especially if the end result could be negative

I'm thankful for graduating and passing NCLEX with 75 questions. And although I may be having a tough time finding a job, I feel blessed to be qualified to even apply for RN jobs. It's still a bit unreal

Here's what I started doing in fundamentals to help me understand the nursing diagnoses. First you need a strong assessment. Than go through the entire list of nandas, one by one, and put serious thought into whether or not they would pertain to yo...

I wrote that wrong. I like having the option to go into public health nursing as a career choice in the future, after completing a bsn program with the requirement. There's rn-bsn schools that don't have it as a requirement and I don't like to limit...

Sorry admins, I didn't really know where to put this... I am an RN (ADN) and am looking to go back to school within the next month or 2 for a BSN. It has come to my attention that a lot of the online RN-BSN programs require you to be working as an RN...
