EmergencyRN 22 - Are you doing the online program? I have been accepted to the online FNP program and would like to hear from anyone with experience with the programs. Thanks!!

I have been accepted to spring 2017 FNP program at Kent State University. I also applied to OU and am waiting to hear. Has anyone started either one of these programs and have an opinion on them? I'm pretty sure KSU is more highly regarded, but would like to hear from anyone with experience with either school. Thanks! janice

I am getting offers from them starting at 40 an hour, guaranteed 48 hour work week. has anyone worked for them? this seems like so much money to me. My recruiter quoted 15,000 gross in 6 weeks!! too good to be true?

When i was in nursing school, one of my instructors told us that his mother is an RN, and after about 5 years of nursing, he was making the same that his mother made, and she had been a nurse for 20 plus years.

it is, and i said ADN, not BSN.

I am a new grad who just started at at Cleveland clinic hospital. I am curious what the top of the pay scale is, i started at 23 an hour, which is what everyone starts at. I would like to hear from RN's who never got their BSN, and what they make. I have always heard there is a "cap" and nurses don't continue to make more and more money with experience. Thanks!

I work at a Cleveland Clinic hospital, and i definitely think going straight for the RN is the way to go. Alot of hospitals are hiring less and less LPN's. I think the main campus got rid of all of their LPN's. Every LPN on my unit is in school to get their RN's. Hope this helps.

Huron School of Nursing has an evening/weekend program. I worked full time while going to school there. The hours are very convenient for working people.

My sister just got a job at cleveland clinic main campus rotating day/evening shift. When I got a job in July at Huron Hospital, i told them i could only work days and they were fine with that. From what I hear, most hospitals in the Cleveland area will give you what you want.

Well, i can answer my own post now. I didn't pass. It continues to say "pending" until you pass. It will never say "denied or failed" on the site. Here we go again.

I took the NCLEX Friday and the licensure verification page on the Ohio Board of Nursing still says "pending"!!! Everyone else i know who took it had their results by noon the next day. Is this a bad sign?? What does it say if you don't pass? I know if you do, it says "approved" Maybe pending means i didn't pass? I'm going crazy here. Did it take anyone else this long to get their results and if so, did you pass? Thanks.

I just graduated and am 40. I never thought that it was "too late" or i was "too old" to get into nursing. I wanted to change in life for the better, to have a career for myself, so that is what i did. I truly believe it is never too late to do anything, or change anything in your life. what else are we here for? To just do the same thing every day after we reach a certain age? Life is about growing and changing.

That line "i was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth" was originally from the Who, not Great White.

YES I DID! Thank you. I take it June 27th. I will start tonight!

Thanks for all the quick replies. I know what the right answer to that question is, i guess i just need some pushing to actually start studying. Thank you!
