Is it necessary to get the Leddy and Peppers book for the Transitions class? I start on Monday and would prefer to find a way NOT to purchase the book. All suggestions wanted.

I know I will do a paper on PTSD somewhere down the line. My son has been to Iraq on three deployments..training for a fourth... ugggh.

I was told the 80.00 online book for the cultural diversity course was a must.

What was the percentage rate on the card you used to pay for school? I get 5000.00 per year tuition reimbursement. At 53 (54 next month) I really want to get this BSN done as quickly as possible. All suggestions gladly received.

Thanks for the quick response, Luna. I am starting oct 25th and nervous about it as it is

Has anyone else found this to be true?

I agree with te doctor. The patient has a tendency to clot. The dehydration is also adding to the elevated INR. If the patient is not actively bleeding , I agree. No anticoagulant. His order is reasonable. The INR will usually go up before it goes down. I would go along with the hospital policy though. If the patient is still clotting though, I hope a hematology consult was ordered. Or perhaps a hospice consult if the patient is end stage HIV

I am starting with CHAMBERLAIN OCT 25. I am only allotted 5000.00 per year for tuition reimbursement so it will take me some time to complete the program. I will be 54 next month. I wish I knew of a way to find money or cheaply finance the rest of the courses. Any ideas?

I am starting October 25 with NR 351 and sociology. I work full time. Do you find it necesary to purchase the apa manual and the seventh edition Leppys ?

A graduation rate is not a stat that I would look closely at unless you know all the variances. You may go to a school with a 90 percent grad rate but not finish due to your own life circumstances. Make a commitment and go for it

CRNA is a POST masters program. Call any of the programs you are condsidering for CRNA and ask if they accept certain programs.

Where are we able to find out about any scholarships available?

I am soon to be 54 years old and have graduated from a diploma program in 1977. I took two courses at a comminity college in Chicago way back when. I enjoyed the conversation with my advisor but I feel the financial advisor Yasmin is a bit pushy. It is holiday time of year for me. I also work full time and am on call this week. I informed her that I would get the information in to the financial aide office soon and that if I didnt start a class in october then I would start in November. I told her since I have waited this long, six more weeks will not make a difference. She started talking about putting my application "on hold" etc. I told her that wasnt necessary but I was not going to feel rushed or pressured into filling out the papers. I just sent in my information for my transcripts to be obtained. My nursing school is closed now and has been for a few years. I dont want to send in paper work until I am sure about the program. Some of my coworkers are quite pleased with Chamberlain.

I am almost 54 years old and graduated from a diploma nursing program in 1977. I just enrolled in Chamberlain for the BSN program. I am considering getting an MSN eventually but still undecided about the RN-BSN/MSN bridge. Any inexpensive way to get books? Aside from employer reimbursements which in the end do not add up to a great deal, I want to keep the program as cost effective as possible. Any "older" applicants to the Chamberlain program?
