Sweet&Petite, RN

Hey ladies I think it would be a great idea for us to create a facebook page. I did my BSN online and networking was very beneficial for our group. We had students in all different parts of the US in different time zones but we managed to keep in co...

I debated with the exact same thing. I was accepted into an FNP program a year ago. I did so much research and most people advised to do FNP and then specialize. I just could not get motivated enough to start the FNP program. Its hard to put so much ...

I just received letter of acceptance. I will be in Drexel's WHNP online starting Sep 16. I do plan to work full time as long as I can maintain. If it become unmanageable, I will reduce working hours. I plan to reach out to my advisor regarding regist...

They are trying to push for the DNP for NP but it may take many more years. MSN is the minimal degree for NP at the moment. I don't know if its worth it to spend a whole lot of extra money for the DNP. I don't think many companies are really going to...

CatlovingRN, I know you said its a 2 dollar pay cut but you have to consider all the other benefits. Look at the insurance cost, tuition reimbursement, shift differential amount etc. I took a job offer over another one because the company offers a $5...

Lostrnugh, Your feelings are completely normal. Many nurses come out of school feeling overwhelmed and get burned out. Med/surg units are tough. I knew that I did not want to do med/surg despite all the advisement that I should. Don't give up and you...

Indiana is a credible school. I was an LPN for 8 years and was skeptical before I applied because I did not know anyone who had been through the program. I applied, was accepted, and now have graduated. I feel like I was adequately prepared for board...

Jenny, I am starting at South University on October 22. I would like to join the facebook group. Can you please send me the link? Danielle B.

Trinathom, I dont see a facebook page/group for South University. I plan on starting October 22 for FNP.

VA BON sucks :***: I am having the worst experience with them. I have been told so many different things by different people. I don't believe anything anyone says from that office.

Congrats, I'm super excited for you. I just landed my dream job in L&D as a new grad RN. Many hospitals in my area will not give a new grad a chance. I was an LPN for 8 years, though.

Sorry to hear that. I was routing for you. I passed in 76 question first go round. I used Kaplan for learning how to answer the questions. I used Sauders for Content. My school also enrolled us with ATI and evolve/elsevier. I think the key is to answ...

I do not like when MA's and CNA's call themselves nurses. It is offensive. They do not take the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN exam and have not been adequately trained as nurses. This practice is very common in outpatient settings based on personal experience...

Has anyone applied for a license by endorsement in Virginia recently? My application has been pending for 4 weeks. I just want to know if anyone else has waited this long for licensure by endorsement.

I just graduated from ISU's LPN to BS program. I started this journey Fall 2012 and graduated Summer 2015. I took 1-2 classes at a time due to working while in the program. It was very tough but doable with the proper commitment and dedication. Overa...

For anyone currently in the program? If so, do you recommend it. I spoke to an admissions representative yesterday and she seemed really nice. I always like to do my outside research because they are paid to sell you the school.

Ayele, did you ever apply? How are things going. I am in the program and live in south eastern Virginia. Let me know if there is any information you need.

Hi Allnaturalnurse, just let me know what you need to know. My email is [email protected]. I don't always check allnurses website but I do check my email everyday. My overall experience with the school and the nursing department has been wond...

I am currently in phase 3 of the ISU program. I have completed all of the general education and challenge exams. This was my first semester with 2 nursing classes. I have had a wonderful experience so far. It was no gimicks or anything like that. For...

Hi, I live in the Hampton Roads Virginia area. I am in ISU Phase 2 and have taken 3 out of the 4 challenge exams. I have Peds left which I heard was the hardest and I plan to take it in about 3 weeks. My goal is to make the June 1st deadline in order...

I must say that my experience has been awesome with ISU so far. I have been to numerous schools in the past and have been to way worse unorganized schools. I have called ISU on numerous occasions and have always gotten my questions answered. I have e...

I just took the Nur 106 Mental Health Challenge exam this Wed. The fee is based on the amount of credits and this goes for all the exams. The first exam is 2 credits and the current rate is 71.00 a credit so the total was $142. The next exam is 5 cre...
