    Hi, I am wanting to apply to CRNA programs in the future, but need to get my BSN first. I am wondering about getting my BSN through Chamberlain or Western Governors University, or another online...

    NAURN replied to majik91's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am planning on working full time, 36 hours a week and do school full time. I think it is possible. Depends on what kind of student you are. I have heard of a lot of people who are doing it full...

  4. Question about WGU RN-BSN

    NAURN replied to NAURN's topic in Western Governors University

    That is my biggest concern, is the 3.0 max. I really need to ace my BSN to stay as competitive as possible for my MSN... unfortunately that makes an otherwise awesome program not really an option for...

  5. Where did you get your BSN?

    NAURN replied to NAURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for your replies. It helps hearing about these programs. Either of these 2 programs available all online with no campus requirement? I am in GA, so no way I could commute to Cali for any on...

  6. Troubles with eyeglasses

    NAURN replied to Mrs Badcrumble's topic in Emergency

    My glasses fit my head really well, and if they start getting loose I go and have them tightened. I don't really have a problem with them sliding too

  7. Troubles with eyeglasses

    NAURN replied to Mrs Badcrumble's topic in Emergency

    Hi, I think I can offer some advice on this. I have worn progressive bifocal glasses since I was 17 (I am 27 now). I was born with eye problems and have had cataract surgery along with other surgeries...

    NAURN replied to NurseB_'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I would definitely get it cheaper at a local school....if you have one close by. I just hate when people give inaccurate infomation and make judgements about a program they never attended. It totally...

    I have applied and should be hearing about acceptance sometime next week. The health stuff is not requred in order to apply. Look in their policy catalog. Its only required before frontier bound....

    I had my first son a few weeks after graduating nursing school... 4 weeks after having him I started my first nursing job. Now, 5 years later, I am ready to go back to school. (I didn't know I would...

  11. When can I apply to Frontier???

    NAURN replied to NurseB_'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Frontier does require a year of RN experience before you can attend. So I would graduate, start getting your year of experience and check their website for application deadlines and choose a class...

  12. Weekend Only Nurse?

    NAURN replied to tambourine's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe the 3 year adn is a rip off at all. It's only a rip off if you want to be a bedside nurse forever. Having a lot of the pre reqs out of the way, like college level a&p, chem, micro,...

  13. What does an RN First Assist do?

    NAURN replied to singleumm's topic in General Nursing

  14. Weekend Only Nurse?

    NAURN replied to tambourine's topic in General Nursing

    There is a 2 year Associate's degree in nursing (RN) and there is a bachelors degree in nursing (also an RN). I have my associate's and I am an RN... took the same board exam, etc. BUT... I went into...

  15. Weekend Only Nurse?

    NAURN replied to tambourine's topic in General Nursing

    I did weekend only... Every Sat and Sun for 12 hour shifts (7a-7p). I made quite a bit more per hour ($7/hr) and it worked for me for a while. But it is every weekend. I only got 2 weekends off a year...

  16. I'm an ADN. Can I Become a NP-Psych? What's the Route?

    NAURN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have my ADN with no BA in any field, and there are programs out there for this specifically. But you do not need to go for FNP or ANP in order to get the psych. If psych is all you want to do, then...

  17. I'm an ADN. Can I Become a NP-Psych? What's the Route?

    NAURN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, there is no generalizing as far as I know. When you choose a MSN program, you choose a track, such as ACNP, FNP, ANP, PNP, PsychNP... you choose one track and "specialize" in that track. The MSN...

    NAURN replied to EyeSeeYouRnOhio's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are some government programs that will pay for or reimburse in exchange for work in underserved areas around the US. They also pay for MDs and PAs.

    NAURN replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are bridge programs out there for ADN-MSN. You just have to look for one that offers psych NP as an option. You may have better options if you go ahead and get your BSN first. Also, not all...

  20. CNM Advice Needed for Frontier Midwifery Program . Please Help

    NAURN replied to lmazz's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I doubt in the long run it really matters... You would surely still graduate with your class. If you can only do 32 hours of clinicals a week, and you have 675 to do, that would take you 21 weeks to...

  21. CNM Advice Needed for Frontier Midwifery Program . Please Help

    NAURN replied to lmazz's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think it depends on the days and shifts you work... you have to be able to complete the 675 hours in the allotted time frame. (I forget how long you have) You would have to do that math to see if it...

  22. MRSA: why hx of MRSA must be documented in the pt's chart?

    NAURN replied to Miley22's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the OP understands what MRSA is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It is a bacterial infection highly resistant to certain antibiotics. It is important to know this...

  23. Best Computer For Online School

    NAURN replied to MandaRN94's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know the school that I have applied for (Frontier) specifies on their website what exactly you need as far as technical requirements. You might check your school's website and see what they...

  24. Small hospital vs. Bigger hospital

    NAURN replied to lv203198's topic in General Nursing

    Not all small hospitals are like this... the only thing that we don't have that we had at the larger hospital is IV therapy. IV therapy is great, but I had literally no IV starting skills when I...

  25. Nursing License Renewal question...

    NAURN replied to qwertyf's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on your state. Check your BON and it should state what the requirements are. And even then, you only submit your proof of CEUs if you are chosen for an
