Little Panda RN ASN, RN

I have worked for a CMS contractor for the last five years. Have worked from home for four of those years. I hate it! It is very isolating and now I feel useless. I miss making a difference. i have applied for other jobs but never get an interview I ...

Congrats!!!! I am sure you will enjoy it. I have worked from home for over two years now. Sure saves a lot on the cost of commuting :)

I did mine about a month ago. I followed the PATE form during my assessment. I had it by me the whole time. Passed with 84 out of 88. I was so stressed over this stupid video but it really is easier than it seems.

I failed the pre assessment first time around so I made it a point to sign up for all the cohorts I could. I signed up for the fast paced cohort and the regular one. I attended as many as I could, watched the videos numerous times, did all the checkp...

Hello I finished stats about a month a ago. My advice is sign up for the cohorts and watch the videos. They were a tremendous help to me.

I just started April 1st and will have three classes done already. I actually did stats first and am so glad I got it out of the way. I just finished biochem. It took me 4 weeks because I procrastinated. I will finish care of the older adult in anoth...

I just finished orientation and will starting classes on April 1st. I have 37 units to complete for my RN to BSN. I have to take History, Biochemistry and Statistics along with the nursing courses. I was looking through the history class and am freak...

I started April 1st and am working on biochemistry. I am just completing task 3. I did my statistics class first and boy am I glad that class is done! Next class care of the older adult.

Hello MinnesotagirlRN, I studied around 3 days a week. I also attended some of the fast paced cohorts and watched videos from past cohorts. I studied about 4 hours each time. I did not know anything about statistics so I was starting from scratch. It...

I finished stats in 4weeks and am on biochemistry now. I am actually having a harder time getting started in this class that stats

I am having a hard time getting started with biochemistry. I am not sure exactly what they want with the diagrams. Do we just label them and explain the role of the enzymes or do we have to explain what everything does. I am calling the help line tom...

Two weeks into statistics and I only have one unit to go then I will take my preassessment and then hopefully the exam. I am hoping to have this class done at the 3 week mark😀

Thank you everyone for all the advice. I know I will have to do some studying of the content I don't know but will use the advice given. You guys rock 😀

Hi Klone, I really have forgotten a lot of history so I will have to study for this one. It is an objective assessment so I guess that means a proctored exam. So under each chapter it lists things you need to do, like watch video and take quiz then ...

I also am starting March 1st and looking forward to it. Two of my coworkers went through this program and really like it :)

If they are not accredited I would not waste my money. Many companies require that you have graduated from a CCNE or NLNAC accredited school in order to even consider you for an interview. Just my 2 cents

I used to manage an assisted living and I had an LPN who eventually became the manager a year after I left the position. She was not an impartial manager as she was buddy buddy with some of the staff and this created problems and hard feelings along ...

I don't think you ever forget your first time losing a patient or any of them for that matter. I had my first resident death 3 years ago and I remember every detail of that day. It was my first time doing CPR. I like you just spoke with this person a...

How did you like the BSN program through Ohio University? I'm considering them for my BSN and then onto the MSN.

I am also looking at Capella's for their RN to BSN/MSN option. Those of you who are in this program how do you like it? Any opinions would be great!

If you are willing to relocate check out Williston North Dakota. I hear Mercy Hospital (I think that's the name) is hiring all the time due to the oil boom out that way. I am not sure what wages are like and I hear housing can be hard to find but doe...

I never ask anyone what they make per hour and I never give out what I make. I think salary is a personal matter. You could try calling the HR dept and ask them what the pay scale is for new hires.

I work for a company doing medical review. I sit at a desk all day in my own corner of the world. I do have the option of working from home. I love my job!

I have been on orientation and have had 11 days on the floor with 8 more to go then I am on my own. When I am there and once I get going I am okay but it is so crazy busy at times that I wonder why I am doing this. I am a flex time (PRN) employee on...
