I live in Utah and had very little issues finding multiple preceptors. It's graduate school so there is a lot of self mastery and self instruction but it's manageable. It's really what you make of it. Tuition is competitive compared to other online p...

I am in my 4th semester at Maryville and I like it. I feel like I am learning and am able to have kids and work. It is what it is: graduate school which is hard and demanding and requires dedication and self motivation.

A couple of tests that I took at home in the beginning but I think they did away with that and no tests now. Mostly papers and a few group projects.

Maybe I should have given better background on this app, I apologize for that. It was developed by MDs at Stanford that helps students share interesting diagnostic images, labs, skin issues etc. The images can only be shared if there is consent, whic...

Check it out before you reply to me. It's made for medical students and workers. It has built in consent forms and ways to protect patient privacy.

If there is an interesting case you can take a picture of it using the app figure 1. It's pretty cool.

I agree!

I have had three kids while working full time as a nurse and this happened to me with my first baby. I couldn't wait to get back to work and did when she was 3 weeks. With the other two (especially with the last one) I did not want to go back at all....

I think it's important to have some healthcare experience but it most likely won't be necessary. GPA will not be considered. There are threads in here that help you write your resume to highlight past jobs that will help you in your new career (leade...

I think St Lukes pays the worst. I would start looking at west valley medical center in nampa because they pay much higher. The two main hospitals in Boise are competitive with each other and have plenty of new grads to choose from with three RN prog...

I graduated from there 2 years ago and they let you transfer credits but only a certain amount, 12 I think. The program was great and since I had an associate degree from another college I went on to BSU and got my BSN. I didn't think they were pushy...

I had a 16 month old and was pregnant my 2nd year and worked. It's all possible if you want it to be. Also everyone was way nicer about it than I thought they would be.

I just graduated from Boise state's online Rn-bsn program and LOVED it. The cost is $1050/3 credit class. Good luck!

I graduated from Carrington in Boise and the major hospitals do not hire from there because they don't want to. It was not hard for me to get a job in the area and no one cared where I went to school (as long as it wasn't one of the larger hospitals)...

I agree with Lady, I took a job in home care because I was also overlooked for the hospital job. You can't try to work in home care after being on a floor for more than and year IF YOU CANT GET A JOB AT A HOSPITAL. This is not the original posters dr...

And I never had an issue getting into a class I needed. You need to be organized and have your course work lined out for the program (they have you do this in the beginning) and stick to it or keep good track of what you need. At the beginning of eac...

Yes, I plan on getting my masters and probably from BSU in their AGNP program, even though the first cohort started this semester. The advisor for the program really gets back to you within a couple of hours from each email you send her. If you email...

1. Location: SLC, Utah 2. Pay rate: $24.00 3. Specialty: case management 4. RN/LPN: RN 5. Degree/certification: BSN 6. Experience: ~2 years 7. Status: Full time, 8. Shift: m-f flexible anytime schedule. 9. Shift diff: n/a 10. Management: No

For summer it is very similar to that. I think on their web site it shows you what is offered when and if it's not the adviser would happily email it to you. I took summer school last year an I'll take one class this summer (just a pre req for their ...

The times that they have classes available, you probably won't be able to do it in a year. It took me 18 months. I was full time except this semester and I worked part time. I ended up starting to work full time and school full time last semester and...

I am considering applying for next cohort and was wondering how the program is going? I graduated with my BSN from BSU and I was happy with it. Love to hear from any of you!

I am in my last semester in the RN-BSN program and I cannot say enough good things about it. I have really felt like the teachers care about me and get right back to me. The coordinator for the program returns e-mails immediately and she is very help...
