  1. Which is better?

    cjward3 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    My goal is to work in the hospital on med surg while I go to school to become an FNP. I can't work in the hospital right now, though, due to my husband being deployed and we have small kids and no...

  2. Holy cow! My book total is how much?!

    cjward3 replied to MeiDei's topic in General Students

    What books do you need? I didn't go there but I just graduated and have tons of books that I would happily get to you for much cheaper. I'm in

  3. Need some New Grad advice:(

    cjward3 replied to nurselisa207's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have you considered going to the hospital that you worked at for 7 years and working for a year or two? I'm in Maine now and got a job offer within 2 weeks (Internal Medicine). I have 10 years of...

    cjward3 posted a topic in Nursing Career

  5. Took my WGU BSN to Nurse Practitioner School - Ask me anything!

    cjward3 replied to coopsy's topic in Western Governors University

    Did your pre-WGU gpa factor into your ability to get into your program? I am starting WGU on 9/1, and, like everyone, hope to be done in the blink of an eye. My next goal is Frontier's WHNP/CNM...

  9. Quick results for a friday test?

    cjward3 replied to shelby929's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    According to PV it's 48 business hours, but I took my test at 2PM on Friday before Memorial Day and my license was posted to my BON (maine) on Saturday morning. So, it might be quicker than

  10. How I passed NCLEX RN 2015

    cjward3 replied to Jmansfield008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I winged it. My local testing center had an opening 2 days away and I figured I would give it a shot. I passed with 75 questions in about an hour. No crazy studying. I did NCLEX mastery, Saunders and...

    cjward3 replied to cjward3's topic in LPN to RN

  13. Michigan Endorsement

    cjward3 replied to applesxoranges's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Eh. Don't let jaded comments get in. There are plenty of us who still have fun EVERY day! Congrats

  15. How long did you wait to go back to school?

    cjward3 replied to Nightowl_lpn's topic in LPN to RN

  16. Things to brush up on for transition program?

    cjward3 replied to PsychNurseBoyMom's topic in LPN to RN

    I am asking myself this question as well. Thanks for that website Commuter!! That's

  17. Non-traditional Nursing Hopefuls

    cjward3 replied to BeachsideRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a 30 year old mother of 2 (3.5 and 2) and have been with my husband for almost 10 years. I've been an LPN since 2005 and just applied to an LPN-RN bridge program. I'll find out in June if I get to...

  18. Full Code resident in LTC

    cjward3 replied to BB00513's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It must vary from place to place, because I have never worked in a facility with those stipulations, either. Also, how is it ethical for a physician to bypass a patient's code status? If a...

  19. Anatomy & Nursing

    cjward3 replied to kfrazier91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that you will be much more successful in school if you have A&P done prior to starting nursing courses. That said, if your school doesn't have that requirement, then I suppose they feel...

  20. Full Code resident in LTC

    cjward3 replied to BB00513's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I read the post as the MD was in the room as the patient passed, not necessarily that the doctor discovered the patient. Reading it in that context, then yes, I do agree that more detail is needed....

  21. Full Code resident in LTC

    cjward3 replied to BB00513's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Unless the doctor was physically restraining me, I would be performing CPR on that patient, no matter what he said. I would call for another nurse to come in for a second set of eyes as well. No...

  23. RN school after being out for a while

    cjward3 posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I graduated with my LPN in 2005 and will hopefully be starting my RN program in the fall. I've worked in multiple capacities within LTCs and SNFs, ranging from a floor nurse to an ADoN to an MDS nurse...

  24. Anatomy & Nursing

    cjward3 replied to kfrazier91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems like that nursing class would require admission into the program as a pre-requisite. I don't know of any schools that don't require A&P prior to admission. So, in that respect, I think...

  25. Looking for accredited online A & P

    cjward3 replied to ChuggingAlong's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
