For vaginal exams - if you think your in far enough, go in more. Learn spinning babies and implement early on in labor - if possible, ask the provider what they think baby's position is so this can guide your positions etc.

I've been in an OBGYN office for 5 years and just made the switch to LDRP this month. I was working 24h in the office, 830-5pm. I really wanted to go FT but dreaded M-F. I like having weekdays to do errands, kids appts, etc. I had been applying for a...

I'm starting at Chamberlain soon for my RN to BSN, will I have any trouble getting my MSN somewhere else because this is an online school? As far as credits go and such. Thank you!

Yes I did just look that up but I think I want to stick with my BSN first then take some time off then pursue MSN. I can only do things is small amounts, I have a child with cancer so I never know when a hospital stay will happen or other things. I a...

I work at lifespan at an outpatient office.

Thank you! I would do my MSN there but I'm hoping to do midwifery and they don't have it there.

Hi - Just graduated in December with my ADN, passed NCLEX, just got first job... now I want to start my rn to bsn program.. but which one? I can't find any solid reviews of online programs. At first I was going to go with Capella .. but now i'm consi...

They will hire ADN but only as an internal hire

How much money can I expect the RN to BSN online program to be?? Ball park. Also - I'm checking on their website and it shows which nursing courses are required - but where is the course list that you also have to complete for admission? Trying to f...

LunahRN - When I was talking to the advisor on the phone I asked him.. if I needed some of the liberal arts courses could I just take them at my local CC to save money. He said he doesn't not recommend that because they would not know if it would tra...

Thanks - I've taken a million classes at a Community College but of course.. not one history or stats or economics. So i'm afraid ill need to take a lot of their liberal arts classes, therefore increasing the overall price. But you can get it done so...

Thank you for that info - an advisor called me back and told me it could be anywhere from 18,000-27,000 depending on what liberal arts classes I need. Is that a normal price for a BSN?

How early can you try the trick?? I take my NCLEX-RN tomorrow at 8am.

No, you can only apply to one campus per application period.

Wow congrats to everyone! Seems like just yesterday I was on here talking to others about getting accepted, but it was really this time 2 years ago... I applied in the October 2010 ,for spring 2011 lincoln, period and heard back of my acceptance arou...

You should hear back by the end of september, because another application period opens up in October. There isn't really a way of checking on your application, they are not too helpful with that and everyone always gets different answers. Good Luck!

Ana4 - Trigonometry is not necessary for Nursing. You should know your basics in math. The only math courses required (I believe) is Math 0500 (if tested into) and Dosage Calc. You should switch your major over to Nursing and start the pre-reqs for t...

I am also a mother and I chose CCRI because I was able to do my pre req's at night and now I attend the actual nursing program during the day. The pre req process takes 3 semesters then the actual program is 4 semesters. CCRI is much much cheaper and...

What I would do while your waiting is work on getting all of your health requirements met

I feel like mine was in the middle of december.... not sure though

I am in my second semester out of 4 for an ADN program. First semester went OK, I was really inconsistent with my grades, got a 100 and then a 68 on the next exam, stuff like that. Well this semester has been horrible so far. First exam I got a 76 an...

BUGLYN: An accredited program is an accredited program, thats how I see it. I know someone who just graduated from there with tons of student debt which she will be paying back for a while. We will have the SAME RN label, but she owes tons of money a...

I cannot even comprehend how much money it costs... so not worth it. I am at CCRI right now and am so happy with the fact it costs me so little for a degree that has a good starting salary!

You all have really helped, I am going to try to do everything that was suggested. I had an exam yesterday and I got an 80. It was my goal, I said I needed to get ATLEAST an 80 on my next 3 exams, 1 down 2 to go and a final. I really thought that I w...

One problem is we don't get to review our questions once we are done. Its on a computer, we have 60 minutes to take it and press submit, once we press submit.. say at like 45 min you can use the rest of your 15 min to review. But I take the whole tim...
