    ODU in Norfolk has one and I am close to it but I need a distance
  2. Now MS Certified

    KRB, No, I do not think that you need to begin on med/surg. I think everyone should work where they want to and in what they are interested in. I have only been a nurse a little over 2 years. My...
  3. Now MS Certified

    Yes, I took the ANCC and no I did not buy any of their books. I used Springhouse Review for the Medical Surgical Nursing Certification and my old NCLEX review book. I completed a bunch of the free CE...
  4. Med Surg certification

    I used that book and believe it or not I pulled out my old NCLEX study book and reanswered questions from that. That was all I did. Being that I work in oncology I reread sections on systems I do not...
  5. Med Surg certification

    I used Springhouse Review for Medical Surgical Nursing
  6. Maybe bedside nursing isn't for me

    I have also discovered that bedside is not for me. Today I did achieve my certification in med/surg and I will be going for the oncology certification next year but they will just assist me in the...
  7. Is it all going to DNP?

    Well personally for me I weighed the options of both. It came down to the fact that I can obtain the DNP for going one more year. Why wouldn't I go on and get the terminal degree in my field? Also, it...
  8. Debt

    The BSN to DNP program I am lookig into will cost me around 55-60K after the 3 year
  9. Administering pain meds to a sleeping pt

    I always explain the difference between scheduled and PRN. I also will not wake someone up for pain medicine. If you can sleep you are not in agony....People tend to believe that we will just show up...
  10. Nurses in the path of Hurricane Irene

    Our facility is trying to make us all pack to stay. They have given no directions for our children. I certainly will not be leaving 4 kids at home to "tough it out" based on a hospital
  11. Good on-line adn-bsn program?

    I attended ODU's RN to BSN online program. All of the instructors were very helpful and really understanding. Good
  12. RN to BSN and working FT

    I completed my RN to BSN program online through ODU while working full time with 4 kids the whole time. I believe it is like anything else in life if you want it badly enough you will make it happen....
  13. How many of you have a BSN

    I have my BSN and am currently looking into a BSN to DNP program. I began with an ADN but if I could do it over I would have just done the BSN to begin with. In fact that is what I recommend to anyone...
  14. New Grad Needs Help!!!

    Sentara usually hires their own new grads because they have their own school. Chesapeake Regional only hires new grads once a year and that has already passed this year. Bon Secours hires new grads...
  15. Just moved to Virginia, new RN grad with no experience

    Bon Secours will hire New Grads all the time. You may have to drive to Mary View, Depaul, or Mary Immaculate though. My hospital Chesapeake Regional only hires New Grads once a year and it has already...

    Wengreen- That is where I was going to apply! Good Luck. Where else have you applied? I was also going to apply to Univ of AZ and Univ of South Alabama. Have they given you feed back as to why you...
  18. Online Nursing

    I completed my RN to BSN online through ODU and would not want to do it any other way! I had no desire to sit in any more classrooms. This gave me the opportunity to finish my BSN on my time. I am now...

    I have been accepted to Liberty University's MSN program. At the end of the 2 years I will be able to sit for the Clinical Nurse Specialist in Acute Adult Care. Any Advice anyone can give me is...

    Maybe agency nursing in different area
  25. What's the issue with med surg?

    I agree it is the nurse to patient ratio. It can be overwhelming at times. I believe that is any unit you go though. For me I was afraid to begin in a specialty without any sort of
