  1. Assesing damaged knee (on self)

    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....

    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...
  4. NOTES...how do you take yours?

    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...
  5. 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...
  6. Assesing damaged knee (on self)

    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...

    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

  11. Brookline College Accelerated Nursing Program

    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...
  12. Brookline College Accelerated Nursing Program

    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...
  13. GCU Summer 2015 hopefuls!

    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...

  16. GCU Fall 15 Hopefuls

    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...
  18. GCU Summer 2015 hopefuls!

    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...
  19. GCU Summer 2015 hopefuls!

    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...
