Thanks all. I somehow didn't even think of it as something as a big no no to post this question, but it makes complete sense to me now that it is a request for medical advice, which cannot be done. This closes this discussion thread. Thanks.

If you hear a loud "pop" in your knee when trying to stand up from sitting on ground, how many days of pain and inflammation would you endure before going to your PCP? Any certain things you would try (other than RICE) before making an appointment?

Everything. It seems that we need to know a little or a lot about almost everything. The previous comments, however, note some of the big ones. My advice before starting the nursing classes: master your patho, solidify your anat/phys. Also get in t...

I strongly prefer to write notes by hand, but my hand now gets tired and cramps up. So I'm starting to take my notes out of the classroom by typing them directly as questions on Qulizlet so I can create study questions at the same time. I class, tho...

My instructor didn't care for a concept map I turned in, so I'm trying to spend more time on it just for my own education. I'm unsure of the interventions for the priority problem of a pt with a trach who has a nasty case of rhonchi, which seems pres...

Thanks for your feedback, KatieMI. I have always felt like I cannot appropriately assess myself; leaving my other patella out of place for 6 months before seeking care is a perfect example. I think I will make an appointment tomorrow and cancel it ...

Good point, enuf_already. I think I will be going in, but I'm always wanting to avoid my dr if/when possible. I think that's a sign of needing a new dr. haha. I appreciate your input.

I am currently a student there. I find it a very challenging program, but think the instructors are very good. I have not ever regretting choosing it. Of course it is not perfect, but no other school is, either.

Congratulations! It is nice to hear there are not always a lot of SATA, since it seems those would be the trickiest.

Congrats, Amber301! I hope you love it!

AZBlueBell...I double checked this with the Dean of Nursing and Admissions office, and they both said the credits will transfer. I'm just going to go ahead and get it at Brookline, though, because I truly value what I get for the money. To think I ...

Actually, Brookline college IS nationally accredited. Students who want to attend graduate programs after graduation, as I do, find little difficulty getting in when they graduate from nationally accredited schools, especially those with programmatic...

Regarding Brookline College, they told me the average student takes five or six semesters to graduate and pays around $50,000 in tuition, based on transfer credit. Students who want to attend graduate programs after graduation, as I do, find little d...

I was reading though some of the posts and saw there were questions about Brookline College. Since I am a student there, I'll attempt answer them. Brookline is nationally accredited. Regarding expense, it depends on how you look at it. The program ...

Oh, I see. Thanks, Amber307.

What is the Fast Track you've been speaking of? Is it simply a more intense program for students that have a bachelor's in a different field, which allows them to bypass general courses while carrying a higher credit load? Just curious.

I read about your situation this afternoon on another allnurses.com blog and am truly sorry to hear about the setback many of you are talking about. Fortunately, though, there are other options for us nurses. I am currently a nursing student at Brook...

You may wish to check out Brookline College. It's in Phoenix and has a BSN program that you can start whether you already have a Bachelors or not. I don't think they have a waiting list; at least they haven't in the past. The school also seems to ha...

Sorry to hear about the setback many of you are talking about. There are other options for us nurses. I am currently a nursing student at Brookline College and would definitely recommend the program to anyone who is interested in a career in nursing ...

I will complete my nursing program in 5 months and am becoming increasingly concerned about my ability to meet the physical requirements of the job. Due to bilateral neuropathy and arthritis of the feet, ankles, knees and back, I begin feeling debil...

Thank you for your response, TheCommuter. Yes, I did have these conditions prior to enrolling in the program, but with not experience in the health field, I relied on a friend's word that there would be many chances to sit in order to do charting. I ...
