Look for another job.

I paid my preceptor a total of $1500 for 3 weeks for WOC clinicals

Hello wocn nurses Will be starting webwoc wound/ostomy program and wanted to know the pros and cons of working inpatient wound dept versus outpatient wound clinic Thanks

check with your local hospital education department. See if they could allow you to precept there with a MSN nurse

You can do this. I was 46 when I graduated from my ADN program. Most of my classmates range from the mid 30's, 40's, and one student was 60 years old when she started.

With the new MSN program what does the capstone consist of? Thanks

I worked with several nurses who where excelsior grads and they had excellent clinical skills some better than nurses who attended brick and mortar schools

Hi I'm 54 yrs old and have a Bachelors and Masters in non-nursing fields. I am looking at Sacred Heart for their online CNL program because I'm interested in bedside care versus management

I'm looking at the msn diabetes/education or rn-bsn-msn

Does Slippery Rock require clinicals

I do not know if this has been answered in the previous posting, but does OU require clinicals. diva nurse

Thomas Edison State College tesc.edu

I am currently enrolled and I like it. There are no dreaded group projects. The papers are doable. It suits my schedule perfectly. As long as you earn 3 credits a year you are considered enrolled, and I have be going off and on since 2008.

Ok..the two classes I have taken so far health assessment and statistics for healthcare professionals, consisted of posting to discussion questions, short paper, and for stats power point assignments. The best part is no group projects. As far as will taking these classes make you a better nurse, it depends on what you get out of it and your mentor. The health assessment class was great. The discussion questions highlighted a few areas I wanted to focus on for my practice, and the mentor was great. As for stats, no comment:D Diva_nurse

No clinicals are required and the cost for out of state students for the RN - BSN program is $386.00 per credit. You do have to pay a credential review fee of $300.00 and a $75.00 app fee. Kind of steep but its worth it. I have a non-nursing bachelors as well as a ADN so the only class I have to take are the upper level nursing courses (8) Diva_nurse

No I have not finished yet..but I like it. You have to be very motivated and self directed. The program is only eight classes and as long as you take at least one class a year, you are considered enrolled. Diva_nurse

I took two classes online at Thomas Edison....no group projects...just posting once a week/a few projects/and for one class a short paper..it was a good experience...I would continue to attend there but I'm going for the MSN ( have a bachelors in a different area) and you have to either have a BSN or go through the BSN/MSN program

Are you having problems with finding preceptors for your program. I too am looking at South University

I'm enrolled at Thomas Edison State College tesc.edu 100% online. No clinicals. So far, I have taken one class and I am very satsified.

darton college in albany ga is another option

Uh I have to disagree with your comment regarding fear of HIPPA. The hospital I work at does not allow the nurses to discuss test results with the patients/family members until the physician has spoken to the family first. Many times I have referred the patient/family member to the doctor because he/she must discuss test results with them first. I know it is frustrating for families but better to get it from the horses mouth first. Just my 2 cents Diva_nurse

Our hospital started 1 hour rounding a few weeks ago and the nurses hate it because with charting and other paperwork to do you have less time. Plus, a few patients complained that they were kept awake all night long because the nurse kept coming into their room. diva nurse
