Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has up to date info on the fastest (can be finished in 9 months or under), under 10-15k tuition, multiple start dates, online RN-BSN? So far, I have researched only 2 and that's Chamberlain and TexasTech. However, th...

Today, I want to announce to everyone here that I'm thankful for everyone's tips, advice, suggestions, and so much more on this great website. I don't know how I would have gone through my struggles without AllNurses.com, it's such a great place for ...

Hey Case Managers/LCSW/Social Workers, I was tasked with following the hospital case managers the other day. Looking, watching, and observing what they do. And I'm an excellent observer. Most were very busy and stressed because of high census. So I h...

Thanks for your detailed response. What happened then when you and the CM told the surgeons that? What is the hospital suppose to do when the family refused to learn? They have to pay for IVB Antibiotics?

Thank you. Without getting too detailed, its part of a government agency's assessment of the roles in the hospital. And no, it's not for accreditation or anything. It's more for surveying.

2 years for ADN, 1 year for RN-BSN, 2 years for MSN. So 5 years in total. I suppose there are faster, accelerated routes but then, they cost a ton. $100K for BSN/NP is definitely not worth it, especially with the influx of new grad RN's/NP's I'm hear...

My friends and I have found the ADN route to be the cheapest. In California, they would give us a tuition waiver if you were low income, so costs were extremely minimal. So the financial aid that came through would go to other things like rent and fo...

Geriatric because of the aging population and Acute Care gets my vote. HIGH need for them.

First time hearing about it. Hope you win your fight!

Great story!! A mighty congratulations to you for hanging through it all!

How much do these convention events cost usually? Is it like a 3-day pass for so-and-so amount?

No you made the right choice. Big Congratulations to you by the way.

Yes, there's nothing like waking up 4AM Sunday morning dressed in scrubs and ready to go to clinical because you thought it was your Monday AM shift.

I agree with Esme12. I just want to add to please seek student disability services at your school should you need it. They can accommodate your visual impairment with things such as text readers, text to speech, low vision aid software, and more. Als...

Congratulations RN!

Surprisingly, all borderline A's (there were no + or - thank goodness). I swear I got a few grey hairs though lol. Shoot for the A's to be competitive, as your peers who will be applying to the programs will likely have 4.0 GPA in these subjects.

Glad you found your classes. Just remember to do things at your own pace, since everyone's situation or circumstances are different (i.e. kids, etc). I remember when I did my pre-req's, I took a 4-week A&P I followed by a 4-week A&P II alongs...

You're making a commitment and sacrifice when you go into nursing. I wish your friend all the best.

Hi everyone. I do not have this disability (I have POTS) but I want to let you know that the great thing about nursing is the flexibility of different positions and specialties. There are specialties in things I've never heard of. Keep fighting. You ...

Wow! I have been busy these last few days but I did not expect such wonderful comments. I had to "Like" each one. Props to Joe V for allowing this to be an article. Having my story turn into an article was the last thing on my mind, all I wanted to d...

The comments are the best.

Hello, unfortunately I won't be qualified enough to answer those questions nor do I know any nurses with CP but I do know that you need to get a physical done once accepted. Also, don't be afraid to seek out help at the disability student services at...

Thank you!! :) Certainly, POTS is a challenge but I have it somewhat managed. I thank nursing school for that, it's taught me well on management and interventions of various diseases. It's now slowly becoming recognized as a problem. I know that plac...

Thank you Esme12 and debilpn23!!! Special thanks to the people in this thread. Your advice and words of encouragement empowered me! Esme12, elkpark, VivaLasViejas, adnrnstudent, Jeanette73, puravidaLV, lmccrn62, Jory, and jadelpn.

Hi guys, I have a learning disability in regards to chronic insomnia secondary to an airway syndrome I won't mention on here. I have no insurance to fix the problem. I recently came back from the Dr's and the Dr said he did not want to sign the accom...
