Please share your insight of any facilities that are known to have reasonable nurse-patient ratio/acuity parameters. It would also be a blessing if you could please mention the consideration of acuity of care required and other factors such as specialty, location, private vs profit, union, pay, level of experience required, etc. I am a new grad looking to work in a professionally safe environment. Thank you AN friends

Sounds like you're a sure thing already And yes, they consider big picture of what all you accomplish on the daily ~ My school GPA 3.7, (Lifetime GPA 3.65) EFC: 0 BSN, 3/4 semesters remaining 100 hrs county volunteer

Same for me too, so how did this ever pan out for you to find out what their codes listed match up with the hospital names? ~ Thank you ~

RN school credits cost less, and RN-BSN takes 1 year not 2 years. Go for the bridge, absolutely

CSN is 2-yr school (only offers dental hygiene 4-yr)

90 days apart, twice I believe

NSC's nursing program costs around $25,000. UNLV costs the same and is a faster time and they offer more scholarships and they have a masters because they are a university and they are building a medical school.

Brookline college has a $12,000 BSN program online (local clinicals included)... I heard about it on this AN site Nursing Degree Programs in AZ, NM, Online | Brookline College

By the way, there's talk of double cohorts this term so 32 ft, 32 pt and this will make it very possible for all competitive applicants to get in. Rest assured

We should know by Halloween, it takes 4-6 weeks (from September 15th)

My favorite is, "When we are at our very worst, therein lies the unique opportunity to respond with our very best." (Or for short, "At our worst, we find our best.").
