  1. 10 mos. LPN to RN prgm. Avail in McDonough, GA

    applesxoranges replied to PepperPine's topic in LPN to RN

    I would still contact the Florida board of nursing and verify that that location is ok and is accredited. In my state, my school had two locations and the two locations were listed. There have been...

  2. 10 mos. LPN to RN prgm. Avail in McDonough, GA

    applesxoranges replied to PepperPine's topic in LPN to RN

    Georgia Board of Nursing. The school isn't listed on the Florida Board of Nursing. All schools need to be accredited by a state in order to be eligible to sit for NCLEX. Since they are kind of being...

    applesxoranges replied to mdcdlt123's topic in General Students

    Was this LPN to RN? If I were you, I would I tell them that the format that Excelsior uses wasn't the method you learn best and you prefer a more traditional method of clinicals during

  4. excelsior BSN

    applesxoranges replied to antonya23's topic in Excelsior College

    I haven't seen any programs that discriminate against a BSN from an accredited school because the ADN was not accredited. The ADN can only be accredited by the NLNAC which is now ACEN. CCNE will only...

  5. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    applesxoranges replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A local hospital system did. It was on the list of approved schools for tuition reimbursement. You have to learn to sell what you know. So what if you never started an IV? Some nurses don't start...

  6. Just a rant rn-bsn

  7. I don't think I want to be a nurse anymore

    applesxoranges replied to Poly123's topic in General Students

    First, how far along are you? A full head to toe assessment doesn't come naturally. It comes with practice. I don't think that students truly become proficient at it till they are doing it several...

  8. BLS, but not a "healthcare professional"?

    applesxoranges replied to itiswell's topic in General Students

    The main reason is that they teach 2 person technique with a bvm. Few people have one hanging

  9. Contact Issues

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

    I forget which one it is but it is a name brand. Wouldn't hydrogen peroxide ruin lenses? I use soft. I did see my eye doctor and he said that I am over-wearing contacts due to not having glasses. I...

  10. What brands of scrubs are the most comfortable?

    applesxoranges replied to cnamommyto2's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Jockey's. They fit the best and I liked the colors. They don't fade and they are soft. The zipper pocket is very small though but I think I can stick my phone in it if I wanted

  11. Denied a job, what would you do?

    applesxoranges replied to jpdlii's topic in Nursing Career

    Are they following the "hire externally" from the dept route? Do they have to give other internal candidates a shot along with looking at length of service to the company (not necessary floor or...

  12. Recently passed NCLEX for Michigan, but need Ohio license

    applesxoranges replied to BrianneRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    They do take longer to answer questions in high volume times. Not to mention were only two months away from the Lpn renewals. Continue emailing at at lsast once a

    applesxoranges replied to **guest2015**'s topic in Ohio Nursing

    A girl went there and was posting it in the fall but I don't know how true it was. She graduated from there

  14. Recently passed NCLEX for Michigan, but need Ohio license

    applesxoranges replied to BrianneRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't believe you send your scores anywhere if you have a Michigan license. You should be applying by endorsement and not by the initial application. Unfortunately, you may have to shell out more...

    Those are usually done out of clinic. Also, be prepared to view things that will drive you nuts like seeing mothers who come in positive for

  16. Pregnant during nursing school

    applesxoranges replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    Are you taking into account the risk of having a difficult pregnancy? What if you are placed on bed rest a month before the due date? Would you have to drop that entire semester? How many clinicals...

  17. What can ADN nurses achieve with a BSN other than accumulating more debts?

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

    In my hospital they do not recognize between a diploma, ADN, and BSN because after all, the license is RN and that's what the nurse is paying to do. So the badges only say RN or

  18. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    applesxoranges replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Some states do list where MDs and DOs received their education. I thought mine listed the APRNs but it doesn't look like it. I will be honest, I don't know where either of the two RNs I've seen had...

  23. Summer Employment for Nursing Student, No CNA

    applesxoranges replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    Look at job postings now in your area at all major hospitals and try to read the fine print. Do they say that a CNA is required? Many list requirements for clinical experience. Some states will let...

  24. How to get a job working with babies

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

    Well, first make sure you don't project your own pro-life beliefs onto patients as many patients may have different beliefs than you. Learning to separate politics from nursing care is very important....

  25. Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    applesxoranges replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The issue is that it's easy to label an online school as being cheap and unethical to go. Then backtracking and saying only some of them. It bugs me when someone is willing to say that they would...
