Glad to see validation on this point as this is exactly what I'm gathering from the RAND studies.

I read over that study earlier as well and my take away is if one is willing to move to certain locations, there will be a job!

Coming from a patient perspective at the Mayo in Scottsdale... I can also attest to the 'lesser than' quality at some of the out state clinics. That would be great to standardize the care across all campuses, I really hope the initiative works out!

Yep I'm working too. So ready to just do this already!! I've heard and anticipated it all now let's experience it for ourselves!

That's good to know. I'm 6 months new to the area too and am starting at NHCC next week- I had no idea what it's reputation is but that's promising to hear! They just completed the new nursing building so I'm stoked to see it!

So at this point I'm thinking metro seems the most efficient as all RN to BSN programs I've seen require an RN license, etc; which would set the start time back at least one semester whereas Metro's BSN would start immediately in semester 4.

Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing!! I guess it's definitely worth looking at other options then.

I completely agree!! I wish we had more of an idea of the format for the program (mostly online, in class, commitment)... or maybe I'm just missing it. The MANE representative at orientation gave me the impression it's going to be pretty time consumi...

Yeah that sounds a bit crazy. Ours is only Monday through Friday but pretty full days. It's also a three semester RN and then remaining three for BSN. Hello to crockpot meals and take out for the hubby and I!

Hi! So does anyone know the situation with our clinicals (NHCC)? They are scheduled out for Thursday and Friday 7-3 but she said it doesn't start right away? Or did I misinterpret that? Also we will or will not have clinicals on both of those days?

Congrats Josie!!

I haven't decided yet but I will say the cost of tuition is blow me away affordable. $300 + some per credit at a bachelors level is hard to be beat.

Im sorry I should have clarified this is for the state of Minnesota and many schools I've looked at in the Midwest. We are not all university scholar merits so that definitely isn't "the norm" either so yes different situations for different people i...

So now we are left with the decision of pursuing MD or DNP... 3 years (11 semesters) for full time DNP program, $80000 to 5 years ( part time) $75000-105,000 or MD: 4 years unpaid plus 3 paid about 50k and about $100k for tuition... Making double tha...

Anyone know where sells the cheapest scrubs we need?! Online or in the store, either works.

This is in the Minnesota forum just an FYI. You might get increased responses if it's in the MO one.

That's great you made it Wednesday! I had all intentions but... That sleet. I'm going to the next one but good to hear it was useful. Did you buy your stethoscope there? I'm not sure if I should or not. Also are you going for days or evenings?

Is anyone else going to NHCC orientation on Wednesday?!

Just got accepted to NHCC daytime program! Is anyone going to orientation on Wednesday?

I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about Anoka-Ramsey Cambridge or Coon rapids campus nursing program? I'm applying and wondering what my odds are? I don't have Anatomy and Physiology 2 completed as I'm taking it now. I'm thinking that's a big hi...

You're welcome! I'd highly suggest talking to a recruiter too if possible. I know that it's also wise to put on the top "wanting to relocate to Minneapolis metro". A recruiter told my husband that as we recently just went through all of this. It all ...

Yeah I took mine in Arizona and it all worked out fine for me. You can take it anywhere they offer it. As peanut, above said search the ATI website. Good luck!

Congrats on your achievements! Your resume for starters is much too lengthy and wordy. When employers look at resumes they generally just skim it initially. They will inquire if they want to know more about a specific job or point of interest. A resu...
