  1. Need MD fingerprinting authorization numbers

    11nick posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    I'm licensed in PA and have a new job in MD, with 10/30 start date. I need to get a MD license. I've heard all the BON horror stories, so I don't need to rehash them. What I do need is two sets of...

  2. Need MD fingerprinting authorization numbers

    11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Ok, another followup, just in case it helps someone... At the time of this post, in order to apply for a license by Endorsement, I had to send an email to a specific BON email address. I received an...

  3. Need MD fingerprinting authorization numbers

    11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Maryland Nursing

    For the sake of anyone who may have similar problems with MD BON and find this thread in the future: the place that does the fingerprints has the needed numbers on file. Flames 9: the problem I was...

  4. Questions on WGU before applying

    11nick posted a topic in Western Governors University

    I'm applying to a BSN program with stats under by belt. I have no religions or nutrition course. I have a Chem w/ lab, but was taken 20 years ago. 1. Reading the many different experiences with WGU,...

  5. Questions on WGU before applying

    11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Western Governors University

    I work in the ER, mostly 3 to 11. I'm usually ramped up when I get home and can't sleep. I applied to WGU last night when I got home. Got up this morning, go the the kids off to school, and ordered...

  6. Questions on WGU before applying

    11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Western Governors University

    Just found a video link in an older thread. Someone showed how to navigate a course on the WGU site. If you complete an objective course and take the final test... can you start the next class...

  7. Questions on WGU before applying

    11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Western Governors University

    Reading on older posts, I see people had concerns about the pass/fail and 3.0 final grade from WGU. I don't see this complaint as much in the more recent posts. I also saw a post where someone got...

  8. NCLEX scoring/grading

    11nick posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    On the NCLEX exam, you have a minimum of 75 questions. A maximum of 265 questions. Theoretically, you can get every single one of the first 75 questions wrong and still be able to get up to 71% of...

  9. Third tier class requirements for Ohio

    11nick posted a topic in Ohio University

    The carriculum at Ohio specifies 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Tier courses required to meet their Gen Ed requirements. Has anyone had a class transferred/accepted into this 3rd tier slot? The ones they...

  10. Keep your pants on...

    11nick replied to ceebeejay's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Don't know if this will solve the problem or not.... I'm a guy. I hate plumbers crack. I have certain shirts I wear under my scrub tops. They are my longer tees so I can tuck them into my pants....

  11. Best Scrubs for the Money?

    11nick replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have Aviators. I like them, too. My favorites.... Carhartt Ripstop. Cargo pockets on the pants, and they have a 'Multi-pocket' shirt that has lots of pockets. I just bought another set. They are...

  12. PA RNs

    11nick replied to sunshyne17's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I live in a very rural part of the state. Only one hospital/medical ctr w/in 50 min drive. I just graduated in Dec and got a job at a hosp about 50 min from home. So far, I really like it. The...

    11nick posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just tried on a set. Fairly comfy. Lots of pockets. Ripstop fabric. Seemed decedent. Anyone have them and like

  14. Recent PA GRADS: How long until you recieved your ATT?

    11nick replied to vil2290's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I was done with school Dec 17. Due to a screw up in the nursing dept, they never posted the degrees to our transcripts (which the BON needs to see). That wasn't discovered until last week. So, I...

  15. need general info for RN to MSN

    11nick posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did a search for information, but didn't get any results that were helpful. I did find some results, but they were 5 years old. I didn't know how reliable the info would be. I'm currently signed...

  16. PA NCLEX ATT number

    11nick posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Can anyone give a rough time frame that it took them to get an ATT number after you graduated from your Associates program? (hopefully someone who graduated in the last year or two) I went to school...

  17. PA NCLEX ATT number

    11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Found out today that my blessed nursing dept posted grades to our transcripts. BUT FORGOT TO POST THE DEGREE. As I said, I went to a MD school. Only a handful of us were from PA. The transcripts...

  18. PA NCLEX ATT number

    11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm giving BON the benefit of the doubt. We did just come through Christmas and New Years holidays. Have busy week ahead of me. May check with records office at school to verify that transcripts...

  19. Online ASN to BSN Programs

    11nick replied to kylepatrickk's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I will second the previous comment. Many colleges already have agreements with larger programs, allowing for little perks you may not find elsewhere. Another thing I will add.... look far and wide as...

  20. What happens in a Capstone?

    11nick posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Maybe a dumb question, but what do you do in a Capstone in an RN to BSN program? Some of the BSN completion programs I'm looking at have a Capstone requirement, some do not. If you are an associates...

  21. What happens in a Capstone?

    11nick replied to 11nick's topic in Online Distance Learning

    oh.... I understand. Near the end of the schooling for my associates, we had a "capstone project" that was simply working shifts at a facility/unit of choice. I assumed the BSN capstone was...

  22. Silly questions I should probably know the answer to

    11nick replied to miss.ariel's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Aren't you going to have to do your nursing degree at a brick-and-mortar institution. You can't do that degree fully online. (can you??) If you do find one online, I'd be worried about...

  23. Good Nursing Shoes

    11nick replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Maybe a dumb question... is there a chain store that analyses your needs? I can't think of anything near me that would do that. When I think of shoe store, I think of Foot Locker, etc. What am I...

  24. Best white scrub pants

    11nick replied to chavezm1109's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just got a set of Aviator scrubs. For scrubs, they are heavy material. I didn't get white, so I can't tell you how 'see-thru' they are, but with the thickness of the material, they would have to...

  25. Why are ppl taking Ethics?

    11nick posted a topic in Ohio University

    I've seen a number of people taking Ethics. Each time I see that they are taking Ethics, I ask why they are taking it, but I never get an answer! I don't see it as a required course, and I don't see...
