  1. Anyone in Arkansas think LPN is a bad idea?

    alotusforyou posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

  2. Anyone in Arkansas think LPN is a bad idea?

    alotusforyou replied to alotusforyou's topic in General Nursing

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

  3. RN-BSN in 6 months is DOABLE!

    alotusforyou replied to RN*mommy's topic in Western Governors University

    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...

    alotusforyou replied to holly111's topic in General Nursing

  6. Splendid Opportunities in Nursing

    alotusforyou replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    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...

  7. Starting WGU RN-BSN

    alotusforyou replied to 2shihtzus's topic in Western Governors University

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

  8. WGU (Western Governors) no longer "Accelerated and Affordable"

    alotusforyou replied to Hexum944's topic in Western Governors University

    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...

  9. Angry Nurse here!

    alotusforyou replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

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

  10. LPN to RN vs LPN to BSN

    alotusforyou replied to keykey0890's topic in LPN to RN

    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...

  11. NP Programs in Scotland

    alotusforyou posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  12. LPN to BSN mobility program at OU college of nursing

    alotusforyou replied to mynismrh's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    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

  13. DNP and working full time?

    alotusforyou replied to Tiff3790's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    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...

  14. witnessing a DNR

    alotusforyou replied to turnforthenurse's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  15. Professionals or "workers"

    alotusforyou replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    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...

  16. two paths to choose from...which would you pursue?

    alotusforyou replied to alotusforyou's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    alotusforyou posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  18. Will being on anxiety medication hinder me from becoming a RN?

    alotusforyou replied to Amdecl6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

  19. Dear new grad...

    alotusforyou replied to smurfynursey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    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...

  20. I didn't even know this existed!

    alotusforyou replied to Morganalefey's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    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...
