    Congratulations!! I am sure you will figure it out. Luckily I had moved into a (mostly) Monday-Friday job as a clinical hospital educator when I got pregnant. My husband is a med student so his...

    Need advice on picking best RN to BSN online program

    Lunah replied to chrisRN180's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Both are for-profit, but have all the proper accreditation. I am actually a Chamberlain grad, twice (RN-to-BSN and also nurse educator MSN). You might also consider some of the not-for-profit programs...

    MSN in Nursing Education Online - Practicum?

    Lunah replied to fsaleif's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    One of my classmates helped teach an online course at our school as her practicum project because that was her goal: teaching online, and she is doing just that. It is in addition to a regular...

    CPEN study

    Lunah replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    I also prepped with the DeBoer book, as well as ENPC. I passed. :) That was back in 2010. I found that CPEN study and certification made me more confident in caring for peds. Good

    Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    Lunah replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    So glad I wasn't socialized in the US! I believe in the very direct approach, and not because I am married and my husband would object, but because *I* object. The DEA/FBI story rang false. I was...

    Issues with references

    Lunah replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    You might consider creating a LinkedIn account so that you can network a bit and build some professional references. That is a lot of references to require! Good

    Domestic Violence: "Are You Safe At Home?"

    Lunah replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I remember a fortune cookie that was particularly wise: Never begin something without considering how it will end. By that same token, don't ask the question if you aren't ready for the answer. Shame...

    Lunah replied to chrisRN180's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Most nursing programs have either CCNE or ACEN accreditation, either is fine. Regional accreditation is important because your credits are more likely to be widely accepted at other schools. CCNE:...

    Need advice on picking best RN to BSN online program

    Lunah replied to chrisRN180's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Look for regional and CCNE or ACEN accreditation as a starting point. Then make yourself a list of programs that interest you with tuition, course length, pros/cons. No one else can make this decision...

    What Does A Graduate Nurse Do?

    Lunah replied to Future-NurseRedHeart's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Virginia has a Registered Nurse Applicant - RNA. You can be an RNA for a short period, maybe 90 days? You can only be an RNA if you have applied to take the NCLEX. If you fail, you lose RNA status. My...

    Is nursing still a satisfying profession?

    Lunah replied to Christian2018's topic in General Nursing

    Second career, 10+ years, no regrets, wish I had done it sooner. You will find people who love and hate every profession. Your experience is what YOU make of it. Best of

    Army Reserve Nursing

    Lunah replied to DthurmRn's topic in Government, Military

    No, the Army considers ALL time as an RN for experience, not only the time as a BSN-prepared RN. The Navy is the only one that only counts BSN

    Is it wise to specialize right after nursing school if you know that's what you want to do

    Lunah replied to Ptntcrgvr's topic in General Students

    You don't get more broad than the ER in terms of patient presentation. I have only ever done ER in terms of bedside nursing, and I have enjoyed my career. The key is to find an ER that has a proper...
