  1. Fastest RN-BSN programs?

    BadMoonOnTheRise posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I will soon be moving to an area where the nursing market is much more competitive than where I live now. Honestly I have no interest in getting a BSN, but am considering it to make myself more...

  2. WGU won't accept per diem nurses

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to MommyandRN's topic in Western Governors University

    FWIW, I talked to a WGU recruiter earlier this week and was specifically told I must be full or part-time to be considered for the program. I even have to provide proof of

  3. Something not right

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to KRSLPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LPN pay is low. Jobs are scarce, and the jobs which are available are mostly in nursing homes. It's not worth it for many people. Not every one has the same personal or career goals as you

  4. New Grad Pay In Oklahoma

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to defibn's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Your experience won't raise your pay. ICU and ER pay the same as every other specialty, so that won't help you either. If you can get hired into float pool that pays a small amount more. Salaries vary...

  5. Fastest RN-BSN programs?

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to BadMoonOnTheRise's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Featherz, what was the readiness assessment like? Is it a way to test out of certain classes or just to see if you can handle college

  6. Fastest RN-BSN programs?

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to BadMoonOnTheRise's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This is sounding like it could be a very good fit for me. I signed up for more information, so I should be hearing from someone soon. Do you know when the semesters start? Is it the traditional...

  7. Fastest RN-BSN programs?

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to BadMoonOnTheRise's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks, featherz. I just skimmed WGU's website and it definitely looks like what I want. Do you know how long students have to complete the community health practicum? I have unlimited overtime at my...

  8. Sorry state of Nursing ...

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    It's true. And one of the major reasons nurses are treated so poorly is because nursing is viewed as a woman's profession. See also:

  9. Washington Hospital Center

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you hate your job so much. I've definitely been there before. I don't mean to pry, but would you mind telling me a little about why it's so

  10. Washington Hospital Center

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    luvluv, Do you know if WHC hires ADNs with a year of experience? I know it's a ********* place to work, but a job's a

  11. Too much time on her hands? I think so.

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to jrsRN07's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry jrs, but you seem to be very socially lacking. Also, you were given the name and physical description of a former co-worker and you really couldn't remember her? That's unsettling. How do...

  12. Nurses laid off - Thanks to Obamacare

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to amygarside's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I’m sure your situation would be a lot better if a Republican were president. You know, one of those Republicans who seeks to eliminate the very programs you live off of. Also, the repair you had...

  13. Oklahoma City New Grad Nurses

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to kjordan5's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Only one hospital in Tulsa pays $22 an hour. The rest will be closer to $20. HR will lie and tell you they pay less because they have better benefits, but they

  14. The dumbest things you've heard from a provider

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Patient who couldn't swallow and had a hiatal hernia. No one could get an NG tube down. Patient had been NPO for 10 days only receiving NaCl IV. Family was (understandably) going crazy because the...

  15. New Grad States & Relocating

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to jeangarc18's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Lol, it's true. I live in Oklahoma, and there is a major nursing shortage here. New grads can get a job in any specialty (NICU is the hardest, but still possible.) However, the hospitals in my area...

  16. Three Weeks! It's almost over!

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to LeeLeeTheGPN's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Good luck and

  17. New Job or No New Job, help! TBHC

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to Heather_ac's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This was going to be my exact advice. If the market is really as tough in NY as allnurses would lead me to believe, I don't think you have much

  18. Online RN-To-BSN accreditation

    BadMoonOnTheRise posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am an ADN looking to obtain a BSN through an exclusively online program. I am under somewhat of a time crunch, and need to finish my degree by the end of the summer semester 2014. I have been...

  19. Help, my school won't allow me to take Nclex.

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to Jdv13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Is this competency test something that is required to graduate and you never took it? If you graduated a year ago, all of your info should have been sent to the BON at the time. This story isn't...

  20. Healthcare MBA thinking of going back to get AAS in Nursing

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to BLNT's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you looked into physician's assistant or direct entry nurse practitioner programs? That seems to be a better match for your educational level. You would get to do some patient care, although...

  21. Where are all the RNs?

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I'm not in Mass, I'm just curious. What are the requirements listed in the job postings? I will be moving next summer, so I've looking at postings in the area where I will be living because I like to...

  22. Med Math...

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yikes. That doesn't reflect well on your school at all. That's really unsafe for your future patients. To the OP, each school does it differently. Some have combined dose/pharm, some separate the...

  23. HELP!!!

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to Kdrenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is the job you have lined up for an LPN or RN position? If I were you, I would do the LPN degree and then bridge to BSN or MSN. A $42,000 loan on an RNs salary is going to be a significant financial...

  24. BON NCLEX results

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to secretagent2011's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    They definitely do post new licenses on Saturdays. I don't know about Sundays. My cousin took the NCLEX Thursday and her number was posted about an hour

  25. What helped you in your first year / semester of nursing school?

    BadMoonOnTheRise replied to Cheripk's topic in General Students

    I completely agree. There is nothing difficult about the material in nursing school, but there is tons of busy work. You will also be expected by your nursing faculty to jump through hoops to prove...
