What is the cost of UOP's RN-BSN program? I looked at their website, adn did a search here, but see no mention of cost, other than UOPs website saying it costs less than a traditional degree. I see that financial aid is available-but still, no mentio...

Say, for ex, that you worked Labor and Delivery at one hospital. Then, you work at another hospital in Labor and Delivery.... how long was your orientation? i mean, you know your stuff, but the hospital routines, computers, way they do things, etc ar...

what is your opinion on appropriate hairstyles for nurses? i've seen some nurses with hair down to the middle of their backs. maybe they pulled it up when going into pt care, maybe not. wouldnt hair that long get in your way? or get caught on somethi...

Easy like flat out give you a good grade? For real? Any accredited college should make you EARN your good grades. If you find making good grades is easy, then thats great for you. But when you said just give it to you, I hope I was misinterpreting. G...

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...

I am currently a student in a distance education (aka "online" but I don't like that terminology ) . I am attending Frontier, for their CNM program, but they also have a FNP program as well. As opposed to Moogie, I feel very connected to my class ma...

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'...

6 years ago, soon before my graduation, I was applying for jobs while also pregnant. I went to one interview while 8 months pregnant. Didn't get offered the job, even though I brought up in the interview my solid child care arrangements--my husband. ...

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...

Well, you're gonna have to disclose the Xanax on the pre employment drug screen.

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. "...

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...

My first job required the Kaplan 4 day course. I didn't mind. the hospital paid for the course, and paid me my hourly salary to be there. I actually liked it though. I thought the Kaplan course questions were most like the actual NCLEX questions (thi...

My previous job used EPIC, and I was working there when they transitioned to EPIC. It was fine. It did make the doctors enter all orders into the computer, and it also strongly discouraged any nurse/secretary from entering verbal orders, except in sp...

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. ...

maybe she was friends with him and was being nice? If you look for an ulterior motive in everything, you will find one. When I was a nursing student, I may have been scared of the doctors, but I still wouldn't have interpreted my instructor letting ...

Do you have any experience as a nurse? Some schools Require experience. Some don't. Just be mindful of that when choosing where to apply

23 when I graduated and became a RN. Will be 32 in 2013 when I garduate grad school and become CNM

I was just discussing this yesterday. A nurse I work with graduates from an unaccredited (by NLN) ADN program. Her ADN school lost accreditation and didn't tell the students until they were halfway through their program. Anyways, she did run into a f...

Well, guess I will be te only one to say that i did miss working in a hospital. I worked in a hospital for 4.5 years. Cardiology, then labor & delivery. I got tired of the politics and such, so I left for Monday-Friday case management job. There ...

sure, if i fell in love with one. (oh, and if i wasn't already married, which i am...so this is hypothetical) yeah, they are subjected to lawsuits more often, work long hours, etc. but, every job has its downsides..... police officers get shot at. me...

maybe the girl thought they were stickers?
