  4. PA RN to BSN online schools????

    Hi. I actually attend La Salle Univ. right now. I started in may and hope to graduate next summer. It is 500/credit. But if money isn't the issue its a really good school. If you want more info, let me know. I love it and it does have a good reputati...
  5. Homecare Nurses

    i think you wont be able to adequately do your job if all the lights are off. in the end, if something happened, the board would be asking, "what would a prudent nurse do." i wouldnt feel like a safe nurse if i had to care for a child in total darkne...

  10. Online RN BSN -- What if any are the disadvantages?

    i think public health is an important/required class. everyone usually offers it.im curious, which school is not requiring it? if your going for you msn eventually, then i would contact some schools to see if it is required and if it needs to be on y...

  14. mental health

    I definitely agree with you about who has the potential tobe violent. not sure about the OP's location, but when offering advice you have to give the good as well as the bad. I speak on the experience of living in an urban/inner city area. a lot of t...
  15. Paramedics rank higher than LPNs?

    Can i ask a question?? WHO CARES?? This isnt the Army or the Marines, its healthcare. there is no rank when discussing lpn's and medics. as someone already said- apples/ oranges. nobody ever really pulls rank in heathcare facilities except nsg superv...
  16. I need another elective, suggestions?

    if you plan on going for your bsn, then try to take something that would apply to that degree as well. most bsn's require something like nutrition or statistics. both classes suck majorly but they are required courses. you dont need them for the asn....
  17. mental health

    in addition to all the wonderful advice everyone gave, I'll add my two cents... 1. never turn your back on them. 2. never let your guard down. 3. And always watch your back because you never know. You know. good luck to you. hope its a wonderful exp...

    Every year someone pulls a prank at our Halloween office party. I wonder who would spike the punch with GoLitely?
  24. Average wait for CPNE

    I applied last year early october for npac. got a date week later for the first weekend in december in albany, ny. that was exactly two months between application and actual test date. i passed everything except for the iv minibag the first time. And...
  25. Excelsior RN-BSN?

    congrats again on passing the cpne. Its a very difficult thing to do first time up. I called Excelsior when I graduated to inquire about the RN-BSN program, just basic questions. They may give you some info, but they really dont want to take the time...
