  1. LVN or ADN?

    applesxoranges replied to agarc628's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    LVN may be cheaper but it can be just as expensive if not more expensive. Some places pay LPNs really, really well such as 20 bucks an hour but then some places pay really low, about 14 dollars an...

  2. Nursing program accept online credit?

    applesxoranges replied to hampmp1's topic in General Students

    It really does depend on the school and if you don't know where you're moving, it makes it hard to narrow it down. My school would not accept online labs but they accepted online lectures for all the...

  3. CSUDH vs OU RN-BSN

    applesxoranges replied to colochita27's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I liked Ohio University and I have my BSN from there. However, they did limit their BSN program to like five states and I don't know if they have opened it up again. I am not familiar with your other...

  4. 2015 Rn pay per hour

    applesxoranges replied to Nikku's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    26.60 right now with 1 year experience. I think I am supposed to be making 25 something in this state but the transfer was screwed up or something since I kept my old rate for a different state that...

  5. The Path to NP

    applesxoranges replied to med_life_for_me's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think I would research both methods and have back up plans. Direct-entry MSN programs for even just an RN license is hard to find and then be accepted let alone getting accepted into one for...

  6. Nursing School Scrubs Nostalgia

    applesxoranges replied to Brian's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Black scrub pants of our choosing, ugly white flat shoes that were all leather, and an ugly white zip up shirt with a school patch and red/black lining on the sleeve. They had white button blouses...

  7. WWI / WW2 Nursing dress

    applesxoranges replied to Parakeet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think the long skirt may be an infection control issue. WWII dresses may be the better option. Keep in mind that each hospital may require a certain color. Navy seems to be the most common but some...

  8. Fnp in er for clinicals??

    applesxoranges replied to DeeRN,BSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it depends of the physician group. Current group here prefers only PAs and we have just one. The other group in the system has FNPs and they see all ages and all types of patients from chest...

  9. passed AANP

    applesxoranges replied to newnp31's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Any other resources that may be helpful during NP

  10. South University FNP MSN program???

    applesxoranges replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can sometimes see if your state's NP group has a list of preceptors that may accept

  11. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    applesxoranges replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    I would start researching requirements for nursing school and take those credits at a community college. It sounds like your mom is tough but you need to realize that you need to make the change. Find...

  12. Best planner for nursing school?

    applesxoranges replied to stacylethani's topic in General Students

    Google Calendars with syncing to my phone is extremely useful for planning out my time. The free day planner from the flight program is very

  13. No calculators allowed as an RN?

    applesxoranges replied to dancediva234's topic in General Students

    Um. I don't use calculators to convert temperatures. I either use my cheat card on the back of my badge or I hit the c/f button for the thermometer. I don't think any thermometer is strictly one or...

  14. Low GPA and NP school

    applesxoranges replied to jarae's topic in General Students

    I think getting into nursing school itself is far more competitive than getting into NP school. There are more NP programs online now a

  15. How much do you print?!

    applesxoranges replied to lunalovegood25's topic in General Students

    I guess technically I steal from work. I print as much at work if I need to print. However, I convinced my teachers to not print notes out and to post them online for me so I could take notes using a...

  16. Can I still be accepted to Nurse Anesthesisa with Academic Violation on transcript?

    applesxoranges replied to SaudadeScrefe's topic in General Students

    Most will give you the option to explain yourself. I would request a transcript for yourself to see what was on it. However, given the competitiveness of the program, it will probably be very hard to...

  17. Stethoscope/clinical supplies

    applesxoranges replied to msbossb's topic in General Students

    A Littman Lightweight should be fine for nursing school. I used the Classic II and then the cardiology III. I prefer the cardiology III. There are discounts for Black Friday. I have had only one...

  18. Non-nursing associates degree to BSN?

    applesxoranges replied to Mpereira93's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I imagine it would take close to three years due to nursing having some specific pre-reqs for licensing purposes. Unless you have those pre-reqs such as anatomy, physiology, microbiology, etc. Some of...

  19. How much do new BSN nursing grads make?

    applesxoranges replied to gonnaB37nursedoc's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my area, a new BSN grad makes the same as the ADN grad. No pay benefits or differences. However, hospitals prefer it because they don't have to pay for the BSN education down the

  20. Becoming a Nurse with Chronic Pain

    applesxoranges replied to FiresWifey's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's very physical but more facilities are doing things to help with lifting. There is still and always will be some lifting. However, emphasis on team work and "no lift" methods are starting to take...

  21. As a new nurse (ASN), age 56, is it worth it to get BSN??

    applesxoranges replied to Hazel1959's topic in Nursing Career

    I paid about 6,000 to 8,000 for a BSN from Ohio University and it took me about 8-9 months to complete (end of March to beginning of

  22. What job do you do?

    applesxoranges replied to Futurenurse98's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There was an RN who worked per diem in rehab at my old job. It really screwed her over when the system went to EPIC because she had to have two different set ups. One as an NP and one as an

  23. Why so many threads on NP school

    applesxoranges replied to OBigdog26's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think it would be nicer if they brought the school section back. There used to be a section that made it easy to research

  24. Online FNP programs--feedback anyone!? Please!??

    applesxoranges replied to ORRN1989's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think a lot are moving towards having online portions. Every where I look there seems to be an online program. As for brick and mortar schools finding your preceptor, be aware that the trend is...

  25. Considering the military for MSN Education

    applesxoranges replied to dr2turbo's topic in Government, Military

    I'm not in the military but I've looked into it in the past. Not recently though and I do not guarantee the information I am posting. From what I understood the last time I was looking into it, you...
