Hi, I am a 15 year nurse and I am unemployed from a full time position. I cannot seem to find a job. I have experience, and I am certified is many areas, but no potential job. I have applied over and over for work. Gees, I am a nurse where did the...

Well, what I was giving to understand by the person I spoke with on the phone (and I also graduated in 1999) was "it all should (I use should carefully)transfer even after 10 years." However; the school will decide on what they will accept, so it's ...

Yes, I understand that to. I will only concentrate for now on the BSN. We will do this!!!!! Dee

I work as a full time RN Supervisor. My fear's have been aleviated a great deal, with your help. Thanks

I agree with you, according to this description you gave, it doesn't seem like it will be to difficult. Thanks for the heads up. I am hoping also to complete my program in two semesters. Great we will use this site and the WGU site to communicate....

One thing about this program so far, that I have come to realize, is they do not provide you with a definitive and descriptive curricullum. I do not think so anyway! I am use to more structure like program.

Maybe we can buddy up, and keep each other company during this journey. About how long do you think it may take you to finish? I plan on taking the exam next week, as I am on vacation right now. I haven't done any Math related education since 1999....

How was the entrance exam? That is, could you stop and go back or was it timed? You can use your credits from your ADN if the school approves them, so I am given to understand. D

I am on vacation right now, so I decided to check this site out for two reasons. I knew I'd find students is one, the other was just to post a general question. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I've been out of school since 1994, and the only math f...

I am use to this type of work I tooked the CPNE and that was 3 months of prep and you had to be 100% on every skill, but I am a better nurse for it. I am looking forward to this; however English is a hard subject for me, my parents spoke broken lang...

Thank you for your input. Love your attitude! I have enrolled and I am worried about the entry exam it's been 20 years. I plan on getting mine over and done with I hope to take the Masters I'd like to enroll in a NP program here close by. Thanks

Hey Lisa I just enrolled in this program. How hard is that entry test? It's been 20 years for me. I am worried. How does this program work? The classes are they online? I haven't talked with Mary P yet, but first wanted to talk to students. Is ...

I did mine in 1999 passed it first time went on to take state boards and pass them first time. I really think this program prepares you well for state boards. Write if you want to know more. It was toughhhhhh and you have to be 100% on every skill...

I just finished a class in Infusion therapy. We were told to remove a CL the patient needed to/must be flat, and do V maneuver. No exceptions. A nurse noted a CL was not removed prior and up to D/C of patient. Anyway she removed a CL while the man...

Your measuring oxygen saturation so it would be PO2 or O2 sat there is no such thing as O2 stat unless it reads as doctors order as an immediate account of ones O2 status.

You can blame society for that.

I am giving Flu Shots part time at Walmart this season. The sign at our table says Flu and Pneumonia vaccines given by Professional Nurses. Some smarty pants (man of 70) stop by the table and said what are professional nurses anyway laughing as he s...

I doubt they are threaten by a female cohort when we have boo coos of female MD's.

I found out that in many doctors offices MA's do everything a nurse would they are even trained to draw blood, but CNA's can be trained to do that to. So the doctors are to blame for a lot of this title exchange and for confusing the patients by re...

Almost every doctor office I submitted applications to in my tristate area pays an RN, so it seems graduate wages or lower? I am a 20 year experienced nurse first LPN then RN. I was shocked since this is one of my alternatives to staying in the fiel...

I prefer the adult client in home health and there doesn't seem to be a demand. All I see is care givers for seniors in the paper and that means like a CNA. The demand is high for PEDS home health nursing and these babies are on Vents, have trachs a...

Amen!

The person who said that doctors office are serene must have never spent time in the waiting room sick. Well I have and I had eyes nothing serene about it. But give me that over my med surge unit any day or LTC giving 40 people 100s of pills in a g...

I rather do this stressful work than deal with 40 medsurge beds, 10 of those telemetry; IV pushes heart meds, resp etc, IV's, Heparin IV, TPN and lipids, admissions, discharges, post and pre-ops, blood transfusions, tons of ports, drains, chest tubes...

Thanks to all for posting on this thread I have learned a lot. Again thanks! :monkeydance:
