  1. SCSU vs Metropolitan State

    goldenanchor posted a topic in General Nursing

    Which school do you think has the better reputation, better nursing program/faculty/education? I am currently dually enrolled at Metropolitan state, but TBH even with growing up in MN, I had never...

  2. UMASS Amherst ONLINE RN-BSN?

    goldenanchor posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Has anyone done this program? Were you in-state or out-of-state? I love that they have an accelerated bachelors program. I am done with my two-year in nursing in December and want to jump right into a...

  3. Allina or HCMC????

    goldenanchor replied to RNMidwife's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked for Allina for two years and it is a great company. I don't work in the hospital so I'm not sure what it's like there- thiugh I will say that the location of Abbott is a bit of a...

  4. WGU for BSN then where for NP?

    goldenanchor replied to Nurse.Gina's topic in School, College Programs

    Could you elaborate on the grading at WGU? I was considering their RN-BSN

  5. Stressed about grading scale

    goldenanchor replied to Success89's topic in General Students

    In my program, 92-100 is and A, 85-91.9 is a B and a C is 78-84.9. Anything less than 78 is failing. It it really is frustrating! Even med students have regular grading

  6. Online nursing program stigma?

    goldenanchor posted a topic in General Students

    I'm not in an online program, but some of my classmates are talking about looking into an online RN-BSN program. I am wondering if there is a negative stigma to online BSN or MSN programs? How do...

  7. Moving to Minneapolis, need suggestions!

    goldenanchor replied to jj224's topic in General Nursing

    goldenanchor replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

  9. Any Minneapolis/St. Paul folks out there?

    goldenanchor replied to Skips's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up in MN, and now work for Allina. I have been with them for two years and they are great. Abbott or United would be the two hospitals closest to Eagan within the Allina system, however there...

  10. School/Life Balance - How Do You Do It???

    goldenanchor replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Students

    It is hard, but I do agree that sometimes college is just hard in general (dependent on the degree, of course). I am a mother to a toddler, work PT (20 hours/week) at a clinic, and spend about 20...

  11. how many of you actually read all the chapters?

    goldenanchor replied to gearedup's topic in General Students

    Our school requires leather shoes for the reason the TheCommuter mentioned; they don't absorb spores/bacteria and are very easy to clean. Skechers also makes fully leather

  13. Best jobs for nursing students?

    goldenanchor posted a topic in General Students

    In your opinion, what are the best job options for nursing students? I have one classmate who is a pharmacy tech and it fits great with her schedule because she can work weekends or before/after class...

  14. What backpack do you use?

    goldenanchor posted a topic in General Students

    Need a new one- obviously something pretty large and durable to get me through another three years!

  15. Hep B Booster

    goldenanchor replied to len1011's topic in General Students

    I had my hep b series about ten years ago, had the titer done for school and it was positive. I know with my school, if it's negative; you have to get the booster, then a titer Later on. But as long...

    goldenanchor replied to catri2007's topic in School, College Programs

    haha. I've been so busy with my summer courses to even think about it! I checked for the first time today since submitted the application and it says it's still under review. I'm not sure I'll get it....

  19. Sooooo much debt already

    goldenanchor replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    Given the amount of debt- I think if you are able to live with your parents rent-free or reduced-rent that will definitely ease the pain of debt! I don't think it's abnormal to graduate school with...

  20. Summer Class Questions

    goldenanchor replied to boipoka72's topic in General Students

    I think it's definitely possible if you manage your time correctly! I am doing two summer classes, I work PT and I'm a mother. But I know I can do it- I'm used to the intensity of summer classes, so...

  22. How much time do you spend studying outside of nursing classes?

    goldenanchor replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    It IS a lot of studying - but I'm doing A&P 1 and microbiology right now and I easily spend over 25 hours a week studying for just these two classes. I'm not someone who is "naturally smart" I...

  24. How much time do you spend studying outside of nursing classes?

    goldenanchor replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    Thank you so much!! This was more the answer I was expecting. I honestly never would expect to succeed in nursing school by only studying 10 hours a week. In just my pre-requisites alone, I study/do...
