  1. Capella RN to MSN

    Not sure if this was in reference to my posts, but here is my 2 cents. ? I suggest doing your research based on your end goals and timeline. I have no experience with Grand Canyon or...
  2. Am I too late to start?

    Actually, it’s been far longer than that. Our LPN instructor told us this during our 1984-85 nursing program. The economic crash in 2008 is what relieved me of my LPN
  3. Acheive test prep

    To my understanding, Achieve Test Prep is essentially a tutor, for lack of a better term, that is supposed to help you learn material needed to pass your chosen exam. They are not a college; so...
  4. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

    Update: Well, I'm currently working on course #11, then on to #12 (shooting for a completion date of no later than December 31,2020) when this one is done. After
  5. Low GPA

  6. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

    The assessments include papers, PowerPoint, voiceover, needs assessment , and today, a Care Plan. The 100 practicum hours are program specific. I think, not sure of the amount, that the leadership...

    I haven’t graduated yet. This is still a work in progress. Just started the first specialty course...took two week off from studying after completing the core courses. I just started this past
  8. When to turn in resignation?

    ^^^^^^^^^!!!!! The VA is notorious for canceling positions. They canceled TWO on me and when I finally received an offer, I continued to work one day a week at the old job until I collected that first...
  9. Betrayed by Management

    Ohhhhh but how bright a spotlight will shine on that resume if the OP could line up another position and the start date for new employers indicated that s/he remained to train his/her replacement!...
  10. Lpn to ADN alternate status

    This sounds nearly identical to a program I tried to get into, with the exception that they wouldn’t even give me an application. Ironically, I selected another school and passed my NCLEX before...

    I’m using only student loans. I have tried
  12. NEWS: The College Network Class Action Lawsuit Filed

    Wow! I didn't see that one...I do recall having a sit-down with TCN back in 2008. But when the man said something that I knew for a fact was not correct, I showed them the door (it was a husband/wife...
  13. NEWS: The College Network Class Action Lawsuit Filed

    Like many civilians, using TCN was a personal choice. The VA had nothing to do with it...just as employers in the private sector had nothing to do with the choice of thousands of its employees who...
  14. Group chats and cheating?

  15. Starting Capella for BSN....

    I personally choose to take one class at a time. If you register for two classes at once, you have to be active in both classes each week. I've found that taking one at a time is a stress reducer and...
  16. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

    Update... I completed all 7 MSN core courses before September ended. I will start working on the remaining 5 MSN specialization courses on October 12th. I’m hoping to begin the practicum (100...

  18. Online lpn to RN program?

    I would suggest checking with your BON to see what they’re saying about online bridge programs for your state. Some may even provide a listing on their website. Given the current state of affairs...
  19. Well I failed my RN/NCLEX

    I'm sorry to hear that you didn't pass. I have no experience with the NCSBN RN review. But I would suggest that you return to the resources you already have, follow your own advice about content,...
  20. What do nurse managers delegate to RN and UAP?

    Policies vary by facility. As an RN, you will find that tasks such as glucometer checks, checking vital signs, etc., are sometimes done by the LPN/LVN/RN because it takes less time to run the checks...
  21. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    Well...I’m rushing to complete this MSN before my next birthday.
  22. Go back to school or not...?

    Have you considered looking into programs that offer dual degrees such as MSN + MBA, or MSN + MHA, MSN with MPH specialization, etc...?...
  23. There are 13 total courses, including the Practicum. This includes a mix of 7 MSN and NHS core courses, 5 specialty courses, and the practicum. Just to let you know, I have no other obligations...
  24. Started my 7th course last night. The term ends October 15th. Here
  25. Finished my MSN this morning - ask me anything!
