Well it’s because a job application ask if I’ve worked in acute care. I’ve been working at an endoscopy center for 3 years in the recovery room and I’m not sure if it’s considered acute care, especially since it’s ambulatory. Nonetheless patients are all sedated and we do have emergency situations. So not sure where this type of work falls under.

Just wondering if endoscopy Nursing is considered acute care? For example, working in pre-assessment screening or the PACU of a endoscopy center. Is this nursing role considered acute care?

"Um nurse, whenever your ready we need you in room 201"

"So I'm guessing the enema worked?"

"It's ok, his stool sample came back negative for C-DIFF"

I'm wondering what happens if you fail a course. Are you allowed to repeat? How many times? Does it affect your GPA if you fail a course? How about if you think you know the material and go straight for the assessment and you fail? Just wondering what happens then.

Hello all, just wondering how a RN-BSN degree from WGU is viewed by hiring managers? Anyone ever had any problems? Considering it's a online program with no brick and mortar university. Any opinions.

So I have a question. Say after you complete your degree at WGU and you want to transfer to another school. Will the transcript from WGU say "GPA 3.0" or will it say something else implying the equivalent of 3.0gpa? (Just asking wondering if it will sound like a knock-off degree)

Which online school are you attending? Coney Island hospital seems pretty good with hiring. A old workmate got hired there as OR nurse with very little experience.

I split my last semester. At that point I was okay with finishing a little later than planned over not finishing at all. I saw many fail out of nursing school because they put too much on their plate. Now, I am not saying you should do what I did. You may be able to handle all the pressure. I couldn't. I have a very busy life outside of school and other responsibilities I couldn't neglect so I just split my last semester. :-)

Me too. I love my job. All the nurses are wonderful. (Except one, but she's not a mean girl, she is just lazy and I hate lazy nurses) We gel well, as they say it. You gotta find another workplace and leave those haters behind.

Wow, thats intersting... What hospital was this??

Of course I know national accreditation is important. But other than CCNE and ACEN accreditation does it matter which online school you choose? Do employers really care where you got your degree from? Any opinions?

Hey! How is it going in the program? Any advice? I have a few questions, would it be ok if I PM you?

Hi all! I know this thread is old. But I'm looking for info on the SUNY-Delhi RN-BSN program. Any advice? How are the classes? Which require more time, which require less? Do you recommend it? Please feel free to PM me. Thank so much for your time.:-D
