PrettyWings, I don't know because I am still in school. I can say though, the work is HARD and isn't any easier than an in person class, like those I took for my RN classes. If the school is accredited, had a good reputation, and you pass the board e...

Frontier does require one year of nursing experience, though not necessarily L&D experience. They will consider other relevant health care experience in lieu of the one year requirement. Keep looking for jobs-anywhere! LTC, offices, etc. Work as ...
I am in the same class at Frontier as the earlier poster, klone. I applied in Feb 2010 for the August 2010 Frontier Bound. Although you are finding out your acceptance 6-8 weeks before Frontier Bound (required on campus orientation), the classes don'...

I think a young healthy patient with a 30pt drop in systolic BP warrants further investigation, more frequent VS, MD eval, etc. Of course she was feeling better--she had narcs! I think you are in the wrong just as much as she is. But, she didn't actu...

At Frontier, you must be a nurse to apply , with at least one year experience, but other significant healthcare experience will be considered in lieu of the one year requirement. But-- you still have to be a RN. Frontier has no program for non-nurses...
Watching "Undercover Boss" and its the CEO of Brightstar, which i've never heard of. So, apparently one of the jobs of the company is providing agency staff to nursing homes, etc. The CEO asked a CNA what the difference between a CNA and the RN is. "...

i love being a nurse. i love my job, and i've had jobs that i really didn't love as a nurse, too. i don't regret becoming a nurse at all, and never have (i've been a nurse almost 6 years). I'm so glad I did it. I love it so much, that I'm in graduat...

Ladies, you won't hear anything likely until June. I applied last February for the August bridge class last summer, just like you are now. Our class didn't hear anything until the end of June. When they say you don't hear until 6-8 weeks before going...

It's not 10 days at a time. If you do the ADN -MSN program, it is 4 days before you start (Monday afternoon-Thursday morning) then, after the first year there, you do the same four day visit, then, before you start your clinicals, you go for 8 days. ...
