OliverElio87 BSN, RN

For what it’s worth, I make $50 (southern ca) an hour day shift. Night dif is $7 and weekend dif is $4. I am a fairly new nurse. I used to work in the Midwest and people here are forgetting about he nurse to patient ratio. I will never work med-surge...

I am a couple of months away from finishing nursing school and I am very much interested in working for the VA. I have done majority of my clinical hours (med-surg, psych, ICU) at a VA. I will also most likely do my practicum/preceptorship (180 hour...

Being gay helped me so much during nursing school in my OB rotation and now as an RN when dealing with some female patients. I remember when my preceptor and I would go into some female patients room and she would introduce me I could see some of the...

If the cost is not much more, I would do the masters. If it is significantly more then ABSN.

Seems like you’d be better off going to PA/Medical school or NP (but thatll take you longer than PA. My husband is an MD and went into the field because he loved science and putting pieces together from the micro level -up. He always tells me how us...

I don’t know about other states, but I think I’m Ca you can challenge for LPN licensure since you’re a medic in the military. I would look into it.

For those who didn't get a call, don't lose hope! I didn't get a call the first day they started notifying people, but I did the next day. Since they started Friday and HR is off on weekends they'll most likely resume Monday. I heard Feb might be a b...

Every person it different. If it is working for you AND your girlfriend, why change it?

Which units were interviewing?

Uworld. Only thing I used. Make sure you get the practice exams.

Give up on WGU I understand. Please don't give up on being a nurse, there are plenty of schools out there!

Oh no, im so sorry. Seems like the CA cohorts for WGU are getting smaller. When is the next one after the Oct? Are there other schools that you are looking at?

Congrats! The lady should have just said "sign your passport and goodluck". This could have been a non-issue. Either way, I think it worked out for the best because I would have been to worked up to take that exam after going through all that with th...

Did you ever hear back?

Well if WGU's regional accreditation is the problem then that CRNA program should also not accept students from University of Washington, University of Utah, BYU, etc since they are also accredited by the same regional accrediting body's and not by W...

I don't think it's the regional accreditation, but most likely the grading system. CRNA school is competitive as it is already and the untraditional grading system (3.0) wouldn't event be competitive enough for it anyways. I graduated from the WGU p...

For those who are/have been preceptors for new grads, what are some things that you look/expect from a new grad? I am starting a new grad program soon and I really want to prepare and make sure that I maximize the time I have with a preceptor. It wil...

LVN's would go through the entire program just like everyone else. You can't skip anything, but you'll probably get a leg up during clinicals.

For what it's worth, wasc = regional accreditation, WGU has regional accreditation. It's not by wasc because the main campus (Utah) is not in the region that wasc accredits. All regional accrediting bodies are equal. https://www.elearners.com/sites/a...

I recently finished the BSN prelicensure program and passed the NCLEX in 75 questions in a little over 1 hour 15 min. I felt more than prepared to take the NCLEX after finishing the program. I only studied for a week post-graduation because I honestl...

There are five semesters in the program. Clinicals start the second semester with CASAL I (Fundamentals).

CA BSN or above for sure if you can. Some hospitals in CA won't even let you apply without one.

As far as being a competent nurse, there's no difference. Hospitals want Magnet status and in-order to attain that status I believe a certain amount of nurses need to be BSN or higher. I also have a BA in another field and it has not helped me in any...

Call the Illinois board of nursing only they will be able to help you. Have you checked if your name is on their website (eLicense Online).
