Hi there- I searched allnurses.com and so hopefully there isn't another thread somewhere. I am seriously considering Gonzaga's FNP program. It's offered at a distance via DVD and email, PT and FT. I'm working on my RN/BSN right now and will finish ...

In my personal experience, cost of living is much higher and wages much lower, but maybe it will work out better for you than me. Really though, Utah is a nice place, I didn't mean to sound harsh.

Well Said ElkPark~ an MA that I work with is considering Everest College, to the tune of $85K!!!!!!!!!!!! That is predatory lending in my opinion, as student loans are stuck with you FOREVER! sigh

Expect a paycut if you are used to CA wages. I moved to Utah three years ago , and still only make my new grad base pay from Oregon

Hi there, I know exactly how you feel. I spent so much time trying to make sure I had all my ducks in a row, and I knew that I wanted to start my RN/BSN program right after I graduated and go full-time. Here in Oregon, you can see your RN license o...

:idea: :idea: I am moving out of state and sadly, all my precious library of nursing and medical textbooks will not be making the journey. There is only so much room on that moving van. However, I would love to donate them to an organization that ...

Hi There- Well, I have taken my BLS the last two times from them. They were fine. But, I personally have not taken any online versions. My friends have taken the online ACLS and liked it.

Hi there- I'm an Oregon L/D RN and trying to narrow down my choices for CNM programs. So far, UofU is my #1 choice, but I would love to pick the brain of a current student if anyone is willing. My main questions: 1) Did you take any of the general...

I'm 31 now, and have a 14 year old son, and 10 and 6 year old daughters. Yes, I was a senior in high school(17) when I became a mom. Was this the best age? No, but being a young mom has its advantages too. Even though it was definitely a struggle, ...

I would have to see the original problem you were setting up to know. Will you post it, and I will help you.

If you have the problem all set up, there is one easy way to know what to to. Multiply all the top numbers together, and then divide that huge number one at a time by each of the bottom numbers. It always works - as long as you already have the con...

Hi There*~ I graduated with my ADN June 11, and passed NCLEX with 75 on June 30. I am admitted to a full time RN/BSN program that I will start in Sept and will graduate in May 06. Hence why I am searching high and low for a PT RN job. But I'm not ge...

Hi There, Almost RN grad (June 05) I am so frustrated with things in general, but I have really gained weight lately. I keep hearing that *Everyone* gains at least 20 lbs in nursing school. Now I am in the final stretch of nursing school, and I am ...

I heard that Salem Hospital is recruiting for BSN grads- they are going for MAGNET status and they need more BSNs to achieve that accreditation. :idea:Salem is about 45 miles from Portland.

:) It's nice to know I'm not alone. I have stopped buying soda (which is really hard for me), and I actually went to the gym yesterday and had a great time working out. Maybe we should all start a Nursing school survivor weight loss program (The...

Hi there- I was wondering if any of you with personal experience with LHS hospitals would mind giving me the lowdown & your thoughts(as a student or RN). I applied for their RN acute care internship for this summer with Meridian Park as my first...

I still haven't heard anything. I wonder how many people applied? Keeping my fingers crossed :) I'm heading out to do my final preceptorship next week. I can't wait to be done!

Nope, I have not heard anything yet. But hopefully soon :) Which hospital did you put as your first choice? I just can't wait to start working.
