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 numbers that are submitted with fingerprints: CJIS...

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 instantaneous automated reply with directions on h...

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 having was that i couldn't get to the form in the f...

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, I'm seeing a variety of experiences people have h...

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 transcripts. I'm way, way ahead of the game. My...

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 before that final test is graded? Early in that video,...

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 into CRNA school, having gone to WGU for earlier de...

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 the (total 265) questions correct..... which would ...

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 recommend appear to be in-depth, life-, energy-, and enjo...

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. One day I grabbed a different tee shirt by accident...

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 made from a different sort of fabric. They aren'...

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 staff is really friendly, and is very open to the roo...

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

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 should be one the road to getting an ATT now. I hav...

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 up for RN to BSN, and will be starting pre requisit...

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 in another state. Students who were getting their...

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 were sent to the BON without the degree listed. Henc...

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 were sent out after the degree conferred. If it wen...

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 you consider your options. No two BSN programs a...

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 degree nurse and do an online BSN degree Capstone...

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 additional clinical exposure to something specifically cov...

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 accreditation. Anyhow, you are most likely going to have to do...

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 looking for in a store that will properly analyze?

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 be hard to see your undies through. A plus: they h...

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 where it fulfills an gen ed or BSN major requirem...
