  1. Canadian lpn as rn in the states

    applesxoranges replied to Doubledd's topic in Nurse Registration

    Well, I don't think you can become an RN without going through an approved program and graduating. I don't think you would be considered an ADN since that is a specific degree meaning you would have...

  2. Question about transfer credits (Certificate vs. Degree)

    applesxoranges replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    It depends. It also depends on what level the school wants the A&P. My community college had a 100 and a 200 A&P. They did not accept A&P from private schools that offered LPN

  3. Norco given to patient with codeine allergy

    applesxoranges replied to aligar89's topic in Patient Medications

    Some people can tolerate other forms of pain medications. Some people say codeine makes them sick as their allergy even though that isn't a true allergy. Some people list pain meds in hopes of getting...

  4. RN-BSN Grading Scale

    applesxoranges replied to whitemage's topic in General Students

    To be honest, the RN to BSN classes are different than pre-license classes which is different than the traditional nursing components. You already learned the harder stuff so it is more theory based....

  5. Just found out my school has a low NCLEX passing rate... should I leave?

    applesxoranges replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    Well, different levels of nursing school tend to have different types of people that attend them. This isn't true and this isn't scientific in the slightest. Usually, traditional BSN graduates are...

  6. BSN to MSN or DNP

    applesxoranges replied to Dee279's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm doing a regular MSN path which I think it is the BSN to MSN? I have my BSN through OU so it is the regular MSN for

  7. White Scrubs and That "Time of the Month".

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

    You could try a menstrual cup. They supposedly last for 12 hours but you can change them sooner like 6 hours. I would dedicate a small bottle to rinse them out. Then have a panty liner in your...

  8. Pinning Ceremony Troubles

    applesxoranges replied to JackDaniels's topic in General Students

    There is no guarantee that you would be taking NCLEX that soon anyway. One person took her NCLEX within a month of graduating. Mine was about 1 month and 3 weeks. You do have factors in your favor...

  9. Ruined my chances of a BSN? Have to be an ADN forever??

    applesxoranges replied to sunnyfish's topic in General Students

    There are loads of CCNE accredited RN to BSN schools that are more lenient than the direct entry ADN or BSN schools. In fact, you should be more worried about getting into the ADN school to begin...

  10. Best tablet/laptop for Nursing School?

    applesxoranges replied to e.amberly's topic in General Students

    I personally think a laptop is better. I have a mini ipad but I don't use it. I have a "notebook" that can double as a tablet but I never use the tablet function unless I am trying to watch a movie....

  11. Unhealthy habits/Facebook posts from friends/family that make you :( ?

    applesxoranges replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    I would recommend refraining from commenting since it will probably cause anger. I unfriended a cousin who decided to argue about something that did not involve her. Basically I reposted someone...

  12. Any Online school accept Unaccredited ASN?

    applesxoranges replied to rainydaysoo's topic in Online Distance Learning

    What state? I know Ohio University would have accepted my community college if they had not earned their ACEN/NLNAC accreditation back. To be fair, it isn't that it is not accredited, it is just not...

  13. ADN program student

    applesxoranges replied to hbw_093097's topic in General Students

    Use practice books to get into the proper test taking mindset. That is usually the issue for a lot of people is that they do not know how to take the tests. Limit how much you work. There seems to be...

  14. Graduated from Non Accredited school now i want to attend RN-BSN

    applesxoranges replied to rainydaysoo's topic in Ohio University

    See if they will do a degree evaluation where you send your transcripts

  15. How many hours a week do you spend on average for one class

    applesxoranges replied to mp86's topic in Ohio University

    Ohio Link which is offered free through OU is great for finding articles. I miss it so

  16. Help? Is this a good plan?

    applesxoranges replied to jasonemmanuel's topic in General Students

    Well, NPs do not go to medical school. NPs go to a school of nursing that offers at least a MSN in a form of nurse practitioner. However, there are multiple ways to get there. You can go to an RN to...

  17. How was your 1st clinical experience as a NP student?

    applesxoranges replied to gelli.25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Super nervous! I will start mine in 2

  18. Online NP Programs

    applesxoranges replied to aejRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, in general it is more of reading and then working on assignments that help with comprehension. This is our first NP class that isn't with the MSN educators or MSN/MBAs this semester for me so it...

  19. Drug screen discrimination

    applesxoranges replied to Steven46304's topic in General Students

    It sucks but it is not discrimination. If they were mandating it because they were black or grew up in a neighborhood where weed smokers were common, that would be

  20. Associates or Bachelor degree?

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

    It depends. In some states, you can look up the amount of clinical hours that each program requires. My program a few years ago required more clinical hours that the BSN programs. There is a minimum...

  21. Getting around the 18 y.o requirement

    applesxoranges replied to npaar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind that finacial aid rules have changed and she may run out of time for her degree. All the credits she acures now may count towards satisfacotry academic progress or SAP. Some schools are...

  22. Placed on Monitoring as New Grad

    applesxoranges replied to Insperation's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm sure that someone has played that card before though. I think that they could probably argue that they are exempt from ADA since they are working with people who work with vulnerable populations...

  23. Top New Grad Candidate Rejected from New Grad Residency

    applesxoranges replied to WhenInRome's topic in Nursing Career

    Speaking of this, I had been turned down by HR multiple times till my one application went through. Manager never even saw it. Not sure why my other applications were rejected because they were all...

    applesxoranges replied to rainydaysoo's topic in Ohio University

    Where do you live? You need to live in Ohio, California, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia. You need your school to be a state-approved accredited...
