  1. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    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...
  2. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    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...
  3. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    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
  4. Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    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

    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!
  6. 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...

    Congrats on the
  8. 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...
  9. The Top 10 Things I Loved About Nursing

    always love your posts
  10. 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...
  11. Thank you very much! I really appreciate the
  12. Thank you, I really appreciate the advice! I will get on
  13. 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...
  14. 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...
  15. bump.
  16. Family not supportive

    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...
  17. Priority: Hepatic vs Renal

    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...
  18. Dialysis instead of Med/Surg?

    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
  19. 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...

    Don't put it on your resume, especially if the end result could be
  21. What are you thankful for?

    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...
  22. Nursing Diagnosis Help! Anemia

    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...
  23. RN-BSN requires working RNs only

    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...
  24. 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...
  25. RN-BSN requires working RNs only

    Congrats on doing in 1 semester! I wish I could get into WGU. But thanks for the tip, i'm going to look into university of Louisiana at Lafayette now, I hadn't even thought of
