  6. Need help with case study!

    LadyinScrubs replied to fawnfalls's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I see you are from SM so you are probably doing a program in So Cal. I am confused. You have to write a case study on a patient; didn't your professor provide you guidelines for the case study. That...

    LadyinScrubs replied to LadyinScrubs's topic in Indiana State University

    calotter3, WGU is a good program but the problem is they have a stale date on lab classes. Any lab over 5 years has to be retaken. Good program

  11. Frustration!!! Is anyone doing College Network?????

    LadyinScrubs replied to mijonilvn's topic in LPN to RN

    You have made valid points and others on AN have said the same. If you don't like the way the moules are, you probably woul dno tlike the distant learning program. They are very similar to TCN...

    LadyinScrubs replied to DevinNoelle's topic in LPN to RN

    LadyinScrubs replied to LadyinScrubs's topic in Indiana State University

    Oops...forgot that some on this site know little or nothing about the VN (Viet Nam) war. Just call me a nurse who colors her hair to cover up the gray. Oh, and you had me chuckling. I, too, could see...

  19. NEED ADVICE!!!!!!!! California to Utah....

    LadyinScrubs replied to burks0916's topic in California Nursing

    The question is where do you want to work first? Cali or Utah. As far as moving out of Cali for Utah--I understand your decision. I went up to SLC to do some genealogy work for our family tree and...

  20. Advice please...moving to California, a mistake?

    LadyinScrubs replied to sarahneeyah's topic in California Nursing

  23. ISU LVN to BSN program California

    LadyinScrubs replied to LadyinScrubs's topic in Indiana State University

  24. ISU LVN to BSN program California

    LadyinScrubs replied to LadyinScrubs's topic in Indiana State University

    Calif is an unusual situation. We have ADN and BSN programs--lots of them. The problem is people still think that there is a nursing deficit. And, they believe that they can easily transition into...

  25. ISU LVN to BSN program California

    LadyinScrubs replied to LadyinScrubs's topic in Indiana State University

    I don't follow your rationale--are you baseing it on fact? 1. The freeze on accepting Cali students is because ALL Cali states are not accepting or limiting the amount of new students or trasfers....
