    Online virtual lab classes - which schools accept them?

    RNsRWe replied to AnnaK12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your best bet is to contact the school you are interested in attending, and speak with an admissions counselor there for the nursing program. That way you will know for certain. If the course you...

    Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    RNsRWe replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Now that I have read through this thread, it's clear to me that I have missed out on a huge pop culture phenom, "crowd funding". How did I miss this? Well....probably because I just "don't go...

    DC License by Endorsement

    RNsRWe replied to Britesmyle's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I can't be of much assistance except to say that allowing only a couple of weeks for a license endorsement seems to be a pretty thin margin. I do know that this process (in other States) can...

    RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    RNsRWe replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No worries there. If he or she doesn't present with an elevated temp, I'm sure they can arrange for a temporary sauna internment until the temperature monitorings are

    RNsRWe replied to NutmeggeRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have to tell you, just yesterday I was reading something in the newspaper about Ebola, and I noticed my fingers were smudged with ink. I tell you, I've never been so panicked! What if I had...

    RNsRWe replied to AnnaK12's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the school. Some schools will have openings available, and your GPA will be of no issue. Others will have openings available, but the competition is so high that it will not be...

    NGT PROTOCOLS

    RNsRWe replied to angelmd26's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what you mean by "nurse doctor", but I'll answer regarding NGT insertions. It is commonplace for an RN (and LPN, depending on facility) to insert these. It is covered in normal nursing...

    A Veteran's Day Tribute from a VA Nurse

    Nclex should be harder

    RNsRWe replied to chrisbauerwrat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Perhaps. Honestly, I think the next step that needs to be done with this exam is to standardize State BoN acceptance of NCLEX attempts. Meaning that our current system of one State allowing...
