finallyRN7 BSN

On all the open positions for the VA, it reads that one needs to have an active and unrestricted RN license in any of the 50 states, and some of the other U.S. territories. I currently have an active and unrestricted license. I have a hard time belie...

jeckrn and K. willow, This is GREAT information! Thanks for replying! :-)

GadgitGurlRN, Was Informatics easier than Transitions or about the same? I've heard that Informatics is a lighter course, but I'm not sure what "light" entails. Thanks!

2bLeonurse1989, What's the zip code area for the north columbus area? Is the Bradley Park Drive area considered north Columbus? Thanks!

Thank you both so much for the info.!! Ive read info from the Va board's website and at the site for info regarding compact vs non-compact states ( dont know name off top of my head), but I needed to make sure that I understood what I'd read. You bo...

As usual, I can't get a hold of the person in charge of answering calls for RNs at the Board of Nursing, especially since it's the holidays. I currently hold a license in Virginia. What can anyone of you tell me about obtaining licensure in another s...

Virginia's Board of Nursing website offers the renewal process to be done online. It would be nice if there was a paper form to print or view so that one can know what the requirements are ahead of renewal. I understand there aren't any continuing e...

LunahRN, Thanks! You've always been so helpful!

toniannryan, I just finished SOCS 350 (Cultural Diversity) and NR 351 (Transitions), and they worked beautifully together. I thought the Transitions class was super easy.You'll have to make 4 posts per week in the Transitions class and 6 a week with ...

Hello All, I am in week 6 of my classes with Chamberlain. I'm finishing up my last gen. ed. class with DeVry (SOC350) and so all I'll have left are nursing courses (woohoo). I found that along with discussions, the cultural diversity class has been a...

Sue12, I understand that Georgia only recognizes institutions which are accredited. Georgia won't accept an application for licensure if one obtained their nursing education from a non-accredited institution.

Those of you who have already taken the Socio 350 class with DeVry, what did you think about it? Was it really time consuming with more writing than you expected?? AND those of you who've already graduated, what would you think about me or anyone els...

Thanks so much for your reply LunahRN. In the end, I'm just going to either take Soc350 along with the Capstone or delay graduation by taking capstone alone. I'm not looking forward to all the writing, but I'll just have to suck it up and get it done...

Hello fellow CCON students, I'm starting back up classes in September. I'm going to finish my last gen. ed. class Soc 350 and take it alone. Because I know academic advisers will advise to take certain classes together to facilitate financial aid eli...

yesIcan, as far as the nursing classes go, I was wondering the same thing as you, so I can't offer advice for those. However, I've taken only two gen. ed classes, statistics and economics through Devry. Although I took them during the same semester, ...

I'm in the process of applying for licensure by endorsement for Georgia. Can anyone tell me what the GAPS registration is all about. Why must I register at this site before sending application, and is there a $50.15 registration fee for RNs?? As a re...

Thanks fposey for replying, but I'm not sure I understand. So, I'm going to register and pay them $50 bucks and change to do what?..Send me the manila-type card to get fingerprints done locally on my end and send it back to them? I mean, the instruct...

Can an RN obtain an LPN license? I know, once you're half-way through nursing school, one is eligible to test to get an LPN license. So, does the opportunity become obsolete once you've graduated and have taken the NCLEX-RN or what? I need some serio...

I've researched alot of programs and there's only two out of them all that I can say off the top, and they're Chamberlain University (Chamberlain.edu) and Oklahoma Weslyan University (okwu.edu). Both offer RN-BSN online only programs with NO CLINICAL...

Sounds like a plan. Thanks again AgentR!

AgentR, Thanks a bunch for replying....See, this is what I was talking about. I didn't want ANY surprises once I give them my money. I mentioned to my enrollment advisor, the MAIN reason I wanted to return to get my BSN is because I'm UMEMPLOYED and ...

I currently have an RN license. I passed the NCLEX first go. My question is: Can I re-take the NCLEX again in order to apply for licensure in another state?? Has anyone of you ever done this?? The particular state in question only allows one to apply...

Thank you AsystoleRN. I will check that out now. Have a great day!

AsystoleRN, thanks for replying. My situation is sort of an emergency. You see, I graduated in 2010, have applied to hundreds of postings, have had a hand full of interviews, but no job offers. I would never risk my license going in to home health a...
