Check FSU. I know they did have RN-BSN online. Georgia Southern at Statesboro has RN-MSN (NP) online.

Thanks, to you, also, for the neat info.

Thanks, that was very interesting.

Could you share some things that might be helpful to those of us who are doing patient care for someone who is in the same condition? What are some ways to communicate? What are some things that you learned from your experience? We deal with a lot of...

Congratulations!

Thanks for that input. That is encouraging to hear. After all those care plans, we started doing our documentation on the hospital forms this past semester. On those, you have preprinted nursing diagnoses to choose from that you prioritize. From that...

A nurse residency program sounds like a great idea. Thankfully, we are getting a lot of clinical experience at both of our local hospitals. We are also required to be team leaders during our clinicals. Organizing, prioritizing, and individual care ar...

Amen on the care plans! Personally, I think that we need the core classes for the Associate Degree because that lays the foundation for further learning and for developing professionalism. I do think that too much time is spent on care plans. Those a...

You know, I am 49 and will graduate next May with my RN from a two year program in my town. This December I will receive my ASN that is basically core classes that will transfer to the RN-BSN program I will enter next August. I can complete my BSN on...

The two students who've had thier stethescopes stolen had them stolen at the hospital during clinicals by other hospital personel. It was not stolen by other nursing students. I am very cautious about my textbooks, too. I lend them to my friends whil...

I am a nursing student and had a problem with hearing breath sounds clearly. I was advised to purchase a Littman and LOVE it. Wow, what a difference. I was told by the nurse who advised me and the store I purchased it from to get it engraved immediat...

I hate that you had such a horrible experience, but I really want to put in a good word for Weight Watchers. As a student in nursing school, I put on 30 pounds last year. I am finally getting it off after trying EVERYTHING (even prescription appetite...

Good Luck!! I am beginning Nursing II (out of IV) on Tuesday. I am wondering what the average time spent in a Bachelor's program is and also for ADN. Our school has the two year Associate degree, but you can not complete it in less than 3 years. You ...

Well, suffice it to say that I have the utmost respect and awe for you. I am still in Nursing I.

A friend of mine had a daughter whose husband was abusive. The mom never knew about it until the night the daughter's life was in danger and she got away and went to her mom's. It was THEN that the daughter told all to her mom. They were both close, ...

Are any of you aware that he had been awarded quite a sum of money after her incident because he told the courts that he would need it to care for her the rest of her life? He told the courts that he was going to quit his job and spend the rest of hi...

Congratulations!! I am an older student in nursing who wants to get her NP. I have worked on a dual degree so that when I graduate next spring I will lack 2 semesters having my BSN. I can do a RN-NP as an option. My concern is my age. I am 49 and I f...

You all are really encouraging! I hope that I will be able to post the same thing eventually. I had thought about W/W but I honestly don't think I can spare the time to make the meeting. I am in over my head and doing good to walk each day. W/W is su...

I am so happy for you!! Not about the anxiety, but that you are losing some! You go, girl!!

Actually, I am having about 1200 a day. I read an article this week (again) that says lack of sleep will mess your metabolism up, too. I haven't had more than 6 hours since I went back to school the first week of January. Today was supposed to be my ...

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted. School started for me the first week of January. I am doing much better with my eating, walking nearly every day, BUT...I haven't lost a pound. At least I'm not gaining. I don't have trouble with Splenda or ...

Sounds like I am in your club.

Sounds great to me!

You are right! It would be a GREAT gift for a graduate. I didn't think it was too bad, either, for what it contains. I am 48, also, but I don't graduate until 2006.

Good luck on your surgery and weight loss.
