I had a meeting with TCN and got the cost of the BSN at ISU and was shocked about the price. I am wondering do I have to go through them to take the CLEP,DANTES, and EXCELSIOR COLLEGE exams at the testing centers? Or can I buy the books off ebay and ...

I am an LPN single mom who does not have alot of money to throw around, just as I know alot of you don't either. I am so confused reading, what seems to be over hundreds of threads on how to get your BSN online. I live in Fla and I have to still do m...

Ok, so I can CLEP all the pre req classes on my own, by using books and study guides off EBAY? And then go directly through ISU.......am I hearing that correctly?

Hi Kimly! I would like to talk to you more about what you are doing. I also am an LPN in Fla and a single mom and really want to get started online for my RN. I am just SO CONFUSED with all the info out there, that I honestly don't know where to star...

Just curious to see if anyone knows if you are taking care of twins, if you get paid for both patients or only one? I am told that Fla. Medicaid only pays for one child and half for the other to have round the clock nurseing? I am with an agency that...

It's just a little fustrateing. I love my job and I enjoy what I do, so in that respect I am very thankful for my job that God has given me. But at the same manner, I don't want to be ignorant to the fact that I am being short changed either. For ins...

Thank you all for that. Yes I have been considering my oath I took very seriously. I am required by law I guess I was just have trouble with "what constitutes abuse" or neglect really. No there were no maggots, no, there wasn't feces anywhere. It was...

If you live in the State of Fla I believe they will require you to have your IV certification to hang IV piggy backs or any IV's. Check with the BON in Fla and see if your training will cover you for IV"s

Thank you for that! I am happy to hear from you guys, it makes me feel alot better to hear from peers and that can understand what I went through somewhat. I tell something like this to my family that has no idea and they are dumb founded. I have th...
