Does anyone know if any of the pending states have been accepted yet?? I'm hoping that ISU becomes highly accepted soon!!:redpinkhe

I'm working on cardiac care unit PRN now. I obviously need to further educate myself on MIs because I thought all MIs meant there was some kind of damage to the heart muscles. Can one have an MI eith absolutely no damage at all?

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do an internet based nursing program, and Excelsior seems good except that it is not accepted in CA, and 1 other state. Is it possible to take the NCLEX in one state, get licensed, then transfer your license to any state? su...

It is scary that so many states do not accept ISU! Geez, I can't wait to enroll in an LPN-RN/BSN program such as ISU, but I'm a little worried about ISU vs. Excelsiors BON acceptance!

Thanks!:)

Does anyone have a complete list of all the states that DO NOT accept ISU?

I am NOT in cali, but I have a lot of family in CA and would consider moving in the future. ISU seems like a wonderful alternative except that there tuition seems higher then EC.

I have an interview for a PRN position. Does this mean I'd constantly be on call?

smoking.....i need to quit now 2 semesters in.

the director at my school says that a students life usually consists of 3 things: 1. family/friends 2. work 3. school in nursing school its almost impossible to juggle all 3, and your best bet is to limit it to 2 of the 3.

I'm in an LPN program and our 1st semester fail rate was also 50%, 2nd semester is 50% as well!:uhoh21: In my med-surg class we had a 14 out of 41 passing up until 3 weeks ago, now 18 out of 40 are passing...scary!!

I'm in an a 3 semester LPN program- I'm in the middle of my second semester. The first semsters drop rate was 50%+ Someone asked what the drop rate for the 2nd semester was and it is also 50%!!! I understand that the beginning of nursing school is g...

Hey All- I start clinicals in 9 days (eek!). I feel very unprepared about what to do when I get to my patient. We will be going to a nursing home for the first few clincals, and I know I will need to look at the patients chart first and foremost. But...

Thank you for your responses, I will certainly be using your suggestions. Daytonite- THANK YOU for that link! I feel SOOOO much better having a clearer idea about head to toe assessments.

For my LPN program, you choose 39 hours out of 77 or so. For Example: Core Technical Concentration AREA VI: CHOOSE 39 CREDITS ...

Thats what I thought too! Its for LPN not RN, but everything seems necesary. hmmm...?

I applied to nursing school and would have been accepted except they said my GPA was.02 points too low. I have redpne my GPA several times, and asked other people t do it for me also and everyone has gotten an 08th of a point over the minimum GPA. I ...

I'm thinking of taking 14 or 15 hours ...How many did yall take & feel comfortable with? What classes stand out as being easier or harder? Is there any prep studying that would help me out before school starts? I'm sure I'll think of more really ...

The director of nursing called today and said they had made a mistake & I'm in!!! I am so excited, and sure that I'll be back asking lots of questions!

I recently found out that I will be able to get into a nursing with an LPN program. Here are my delimmas- 1. I live an hour and a half away from the school 2. I don't particularly want to move there because we have a great deal on rent here, and my b...

I am applying for nursing school next semester, but I'd like to know if you would see your primary care physcian in this situation... I have diabetes mellitus, and had a seizure due to low glucose levels yesterday. 911 was called and I was combative...

I understand that adoption is an issue that L&D nurses must deal with. How frequently does a patient come into the hospital planning on placing a baby for adoption, but end up leaving with their newborn, compared to someone planning to place thei...
