I am so excited and nervous to start the RN-BSN program at this school !! I know a few nurses who became clinical nurse educators or administrators who completed a masters degree in this school. But do not know anyone who completed a BSN here. ...

I came here for advice. I've been out of school the past 10 years and finally decided to get my BSN since my hospital is magnet they are starting to ask for it. Anyways, I have 2 kids, and work full time. Not making excuses but I need advice from th...

I am so upset about an issue in my unit. A new CNS is working with us and she is horrible. She has terrible people skills & terrible manners & she had no class. I think that they could of chosen better specially when there is someone that de...

I'm gonna have my baby soon so I will be a stay at home mommy for a few months. So UOP is working for me!! I am talking to my hubby to see if I can be a full time house wife. i think with 2 little ones at home he will go into the idea :-) then i I ca...

What do you mean? I don't have a horse

Thanks Kan!! you give great advise

No. She is the kind of nurse who doesn't do vital signs for a post op patient all day. Because she "forgot" there was no CNA on the floor. she is the type of person who rolls their eyes and says ****. So I have to do the consent bc you didn't do this...

I honestly can say that I feel in my heart that I am an excellent nurse. I do my best for my patients & my co-workers. But what saddens me about my job is when parents complain about me to my co-workers. I was nurse in charge and I had 2 patients...

"If you can dream it they will come" is a quote from an old movie I saw as a child. I come from a very hard childhood and was raised by a family member who was abusive & I didn't get to live with my mom till I was almost 18. I was always indepen...

I agree. It is time consuming that you do have to write and do research. But it is doable. i am almost done with my second class and I couldn't be happier. Plus after 24 credits I get 2600 taken off my amount I have to pay back!!

You are right. I can't dwell on things like her low class manners. I've never heard an educated person say "baby daddy". Not manny people say that here. I am currently pregnant with my 2nd child (true story) and working and I've never heard anyone ...

you are so right. I used to work as a nurse assistant and I knew her when she was a regular staff RN. She gave me directions such as "move so I can sit" (when she wanted to use a computer I was using or sitting at) she will say things such as "my ba...

Not my name or reAl avatar by the way :-)

I love pediatrics. I think it is fun working with children. They are funny & strong. But the parents are just nuts. I had a complaint from a parent that said I gave her a cold sandwich!! those sandwiches come from a fridge after cafeteria closes...

For me UOP includes books in tuition. Right now I am using 2 books and they are only a click away.

I looked in to those schools you mentioned. Grand Canyon the expense turned me off. JU -- those proctor exams? 5 week classes but it's only one class at a time & no tests. I'm in my second class at UOP and I love it. It's a lot of writing and tea...

Btw UOP took all my credits. So I am only doing "core" classes and I am 65% done with my BSN so far!

Jpeds, happy to hear that! I am looking forward to complete this program. at my job they are giving us 5 years to complete the BSN :-( it's now or never

It is slightly cheaper... I decided on UOP instead of Jacksonville because UOP is giving me a $2500 scholarship for signing up before may there are no weekly tests-- mostly writing assignments & if there are tests then it is an open book. with ...

That's awesome! i like that word "doable". I am definitely looking forward to finishing and finally having BSN next to my name

Thanks Shuggipie, i appreciate the positive comments. I don't know what happened to me. I just got overwhelmed. i did tons of research before ULL & ULL is awesome price wise, it is organized and thorough on what they expect of you in regards to ...

Ok so basically I am quitting. i feel that ULL was too difficult for me. The online quizzes are a killer. And the online discussion -- the discussion I got an extremely low grade. how am I supposed to pass?!? i don't think online is for me. unfortuna...

I don't recommend university of louisiana at Lafayette unless-- you are a good test taker! You have a quizz each week plus either a writing assignment or a discussion post, I am very borderline this semester. Not sure if I will pass the class or not....
