Ooh tell me more about Liberty please! Sounds nice.. How was your experience? Clinicals? All online or distance friendly. Were you FT or PT? Prereqs? Did you work while in the program?

I currently have the Professional Guide to Pathophysiology and have decided that while it is easy to understand, it doesn't have enough diseases in it. Currently has 400 listed but out of the 5 times I've had to look up a disease for clinicals, I've ...

Is this for just physiology or is it actually a pathophysiology book?

What is progressive care? For me I loved working in emergency situations so I probably switch between ER and something else to keep me from burning out.

Lol I know, darling hubby says the same thing... But I just like to have a feel for things so that I'm not blind sided. :) does anyone have a good online/distance learning RN to BSN program they recommend? A plus if they give a mil discount or in st...

Interesting so chances are I will probably need to get an LPN licensed or lower job if I can't find anything. Hopefully this will be easier in a couple if years!

So majority of places req at least 1-2 yrs of exp... Where do the new grads work?!

First of all, the instructor is allowing you to practice under her license. Of COURSE she wants to be there for the first times you do your skills just to make sure you can do it on your own thereafter. If you still can't grasp this concept... Flip f...

I was asking the same question on a FB support page. One of the posters said that if I show my military ID, show that I have proof of licensure in at least 1 state that's also up to date, they will waive the requirement of having that specific state'...

So because I know I will be able to get a job here because I have connections in Michigan (our home state). Do you suggest that I at least work there for a year before moving with hubby? Or just go to Arizona, see what's available. Try to at least g...

Wow, WAY more than I expected! Thanks for the nudge into the right direction, it should be helpful!

Yes, I am in nursing school. I figured that this might part of the forum might get better hits since its made up of primarily practicing nurses. I have absolutely no knowledge about these medications. I knew of the medications to treat candiasis. I k...

I'd like to know this too. I am interested in getting started on my grad school as soon as I can after I finish my ADN. I want to get into University of Colorado - Denver BSN-DNP the most out of all the other schools.

Anyone have any problems with getting into other grad programs other than WGU after getting a BSN. I am interested in getting into a BSN to DNP after I get a BSN.

Wow!! Thank you EVERYONE for the great suggestions!! I'm going to have to bookmark these for the future if I ever need to find different sources! I love AN for this reason!! So helpful!!

So I am supposed to look up the pathophysiology of lymphedema. It is not in my pathophysiology book nor is the pathophysiology mentioned in the other 5 books I have for my nursing program. ... I am now thinking I need to turn to the Internet - but I...

I'll share what my instructor shared with my class at the beginning of the semester, "Let go of perfection!" This says it all. We have so much pressure to succeed and you most likely need a certain exam average in order to go on in your program. Aim...

Just wanted to say that the 141 point cut off is only for the 2 year program. I was possibly the last person they took (I had 141). But I believe that the accelerated was something like 109 or something like that. Volunteer if you can't work. I wor...

Background Info: I am in an ADN program currently and will graduate in May 2014. Hubby is in the Army and doesn't want to get out until I'm completely done with school. I am quite the planner but I wanted to start looking into schools so that when it...

Just out of curiosity, how many you have gone to schools that are not known nationally and have future employers ask about them? How many of you have gone to a school that are top ranked and known nationally and feel like you had a better chance of b...

That is the kind of school I have been looking for! Most Grad Degrees are online, so amazing what you can do with technology!! I'm keeping my options open. Because I am an army wife, I have the possibility of moving at any time (my next move probabl...

Smoking doesn't just affect the smoker themselves. It affects many other things such as the people around you *ESPECIALLY* the patients and the cleanliness of the hospital itself. I am sure you are familiar with the grim that smoke leaves whether if ...

lig - I didn't want to leave you out before, but totally forgot to add you. What do you consider exceptionally good? The top schools on the U.S. News Nursing Grad School Rankings? What do you consider exceptionally bad? I'm also noticing that it's al...

Annaiya - Thank you for your input! I will look into it!! :) Mom To 4 - What does ODU stand for?
