Central BSN, RN

Wait, so I can be a RT because I have a BSN degree and am an RN than right? I mean I learned about the respiratory system and have a health care degree.

I better call the FL BON about that expired meter ticket ASAP [emoji57]

Hmm schools vary so much.... My school had three entire lectures on EKG's. What the leads are reading, how to interpret, proper interventions related to certain dysrhythmias etc. We also had a mock code in are sim labs where the patient would go thr...

We are the idiots because we care about patient safety due to a possibly incompetent RN? Thank the lord you will never be my nurse or anyone I care for.

This may sound a bit harsh but if you can't meet the bare minimum after 10 attempts maybe it's not meant to be... This isn't to speak ill of you but if you can't handle the pressures of an exam 10 separate times, the odds of you locking up if/when th...

I am a JU alumni. You will learn a lot from the program. Bit of advice take Prof. Oakes when ever you can. To this day I can remember his stories when I am at work.

It's the prototype of a medication. It's the blue print and first form of a drug that is used to make other and alternate forms of the drug.

Your over analyzing and complicating the test beyond what is necessary OP. Do practice questions, refresh info you are uncomfortable with, and go in and take the test to the best of your ability.

Lol people...

It means think text book. Don't base your answers off of practices you saw in clinical. The test is not a trick if it states something take it at face value.

Congratulations [emoji106]🏼

So many variables but most schools will look and see you retake a course and only did marginally better and not view it favorably (they don't care about why). As for wether you should retake them, yes. As dorky said though some schools will only calc...

I had a job offer before I graduated. I did not work as a CNA I just happened to apply, jumped through the hurdles (there were many with Mayo) and was offered a position about a week before I was even pinned.

OP = original poster

You asked for some research and I provided ten separate studies. Ignoring the research doesn't make it any less valid. As for "only having" an ASN you said it not I. You may be right though, that could be why your having a hard time... guess we will ...

Get some experience first. Learn, interact, observe, get in the muck. It will make you a much better provider in the long run. IMO experience should be required for entry into any NP program.

Those that have a pre conceived bias towards the outcome of a study will always attempt to draw conclusion that merit there skepticism. If anyone has taken a few research courses and/or published a study they can attest to this. Not directly saying ...

Please see above.

Oh you would like some research? No problem! In a study published in the October 2014 issue of Medical Care, researcher Olga Yakusheva from the University of Michigan and her colleagues found that a 10% increase in the proportion of baccalaureate-pr...

I just did the questions and read each rational, even when I got the question correct. My school was good about teaching us content. I did brush up on memorizing some labs but beyond that nothing directly involving content review.

Of course one factor is money, when is it not? That said research has shown a link between BSN prepared nurses and better patient outcomes. It's also a necessary stepping stone if you wish to move into leadership positions or graduate school. Plenty ...

IMO the NCSBN QBank was the most similar to the actual NCLEX. I passed in 75 questions on my first attempt my only prep beyond doing well in school was the NCSBN questions. Good luck!

IMO that's nuts I went to a private university (JU) which is not cheap but because it's a non-profit I was eligible for grants & scholarships so I almost had a full ride. Otherwise I think spending that amount of money on a BSN is a bit crazy. 2 ...

I can't speak for Kaplan, or any test prep for that matter except doing some NCSBN question banks I did prior to my exam. Take your time, if your stuck don't panic just go back to the basics ABG's, ADPIE, Safety, Prioritization, ABGs etc. Good luck

I am personal friends with CRNA's who sit on the application board for UofM and UNF. According to them they do look at the school you went to and what hospital you worked at. I can only speak for those schools though.
