I've read tons of threads on whether to get an LPN first or just go for RN, but if anyone from Arkansas (especially the NW area) has any opinions on the matter, I'd love to hear them. As far as I know (I have no experience yet...I'm going to a CNA cl...

Thanks for all the advice. I didn't even know about the lottery scholarship. I will have to look into that!

The only prerequisite is an RN license. They give you 50 or 60 credit hours automatically ( I can't remember which number) just for having an RN license. Then other courses you took in your ADN program may transfer in as well to cover many of the oth...

I haven't been in this program, but the fastest anyone has completed it (that I know of) has been 12 months.

Just saw this in a local classifieds ad: Washington Regional Medical Center Join our team. The following positions are available: Fantastic Opportunity For Experienced RNs in our Registry, 7a-7p and 7p-7a, $35 per hour, Weekend/Night Shift Differe...

Adjusted for inflation, $30-35 is $496 - $579 in 2012 dollars. I guess that probably was a good deal during the Great Depression, although they probably all ended up with less student loan debt (or none!) than we do today!! One of my favorite writers...

I'd really like to hear if anyone has gotten into a NP Master's program with a WGU BSN?

2 1/2 years for a BSN? I'm not trying to make light of your frustration at all, but that still seems like a good deal to me. I wish I could take it in Arkansas. Locally, I have the option to get an ADN in 2 1/2 years or a BSN in 4 years.

Oh man, if someone had done that when I was pregnant, tbere would not have been a pretty ending...

I'm just a pre-nursing student, so my opinion probably isn't helpful, but I've read a lot about this and am asking myself the same questions. All in all, I think it just depends on your location. What is the pay advantage to being an ADN to an LPN in...

I'm an American pre-nursing student. I recently found out that I'm a UK citizen, so I'm seriously considering a move to the UK after I get a BSN and work as a nurse in the US for a year (if I can find a nursing job in the UK). My ultimate goal, howe...

So...just to clarify (if someone will for me, please), every applicant who meets the minimum requirements is admitted to the program? There is no limit to number of accepted students?

I don't want to high jack the thread, but BCRNA, can you tell me what DNP program only takes a little over a year with an MSN? It was my understanding that most programs would take me 2 years going full time and 3-4 years going part time? Thank you!!

I'm not a nurse (yet), but I would feel really awkward in this situation as a visitor of a patient. I would be dilly dallying too, trying to figure out what was going on and why I would need to be involved in a stranger's care. At the same time, if I...

It shouldn't matter if you are a professional or not, if you work under management of any kind or as an employee, a union is probably always a good idea. It doesn't matter how knowlegable, educated or skilled you are, if you do not own the means of p...

Thank you for your feedback. The student teaching could be accomplished, but it would be a waste of time if I'm not going to be a teacher. The business courses are all accelerated and done online, so I could get through them quickly, but I would be l...

I'm enrolled at Western Govenor's University in a teaching program, however, life has made it possible for me to pursue nursing which I feel would be a better fit for me. However, I have two options: 1) drop out of WGU and stretch out my prerequisi...

Prozac shouldn't be showing up on a drug test. It's not a narcotic or illegal substance. It also shouldn't hinder your ability to perform your job (it's doesn't make you high in any shape or form).

I am a potential nursing student, and I'm a little confused. What is so awesome about working ICU/ER? I imagine that if I become an, ICU or ER would be the last places I'd want to work until I had a little more experience as a nurse. I think I'd much...

I had no idea about this either! So cool. I was a MT for a short time, but stopped due to moving several times and all the different state laws to contend with. Now I've settled in NW Arkansas and have been torn between going to MT school again to ge...
