  1. Applied to Nursing school!

    Buyer beware replied to Nickc58's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, Somehow I knew this was a for-profit. The reason for this assumption is that many people who attend for-profits are sort of self-conscious about it considering their track records of charging high...

  2. In Rn school but need a job to get experience

    Buyer beware replied to Momof3kiddos's topic in General Nursing

    OP, Look at it this way, if you don't need experience in nursing to diagnose and treat illness as a nurse practitioner why would you think you would need experience in nursing to become a nurse? Just...

  3. Why SAH or aneurysm need midodrine HCL?

    Buyer beware replied to kinmei's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm sorry but we are not allowed to give medical advice on this

  4. Just found out my school has a low NCLEX passing rate... should I leave?

    Buyer beware replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    Rule of thumb. No matter who is paying, never throw good money after

  5. Nursing Informatics Preceptor Please

    Buyer beware replied to cutebrnkze2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, looks like South University strikes again. Preceptors of any ilk as you have found out are very hard to get. You've had 18 months to find one and I'm sure the school has been diligently working...

  6. Nursing school applications

    Buyer beware replied to Melli_Gomez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will make it with diligence and discipline as many before you have. And don't worry nursing isn't going anywhere. I'm glad to hear that you are aware of the for-profit come-on. They do nothing but...

  7. LPN attending Gaylen College TB, HELP!!!

    Buyer beware replied to Aquoen's topic in School, College Programs

    Just as question. Why have you chosen to go to this expensive for-profit? At 21K per year plus books and fees the math is simple. If you tack on interest over years and years on the loans the cost...

  8. Financial Aid

    Buyer beware replied to jessicaoropesa's topic in Chamberlain College

    81K. Yikes!!! OP, try a community college and take the prerequisites at a fraction of the price and see how you do. After that take it from there and finish at a school that won't put you in debt...

  9. But Why? Fingersticks and Common Sense

    Buyer beware replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Drawing a serum blood glucose for an ultra high FS reading sounds reasonable to me. Comfirmation is the key and and as matter of good practice all wacko blood values should be evauated with at least...

  10. Students from other campuses, do you have study guides!

    Buyer beware replied to mm7280's topic in Chamberlain College

    "...or the facility would end up in trouble..." At 30K per year in tuition, it doesn't look like the facility is the only one in trouble. Could you explain what the teacher was referring to by "in...

  11. Lazy, attitude giving, lip smacking, eye rolling CNA's trying my sanity!

    Buyer beware replied to Longleggedstar's topic in General Nursing

    OP, This CNA's attitude reeks of contempt and disdain for you. I have a chuhuahua exactly like that. If she doesn't like something or has to do someome that doesn't suit her mood she snarls ever so...

  12. RN-BSN online

    Buyer beware replied to stillsmilinggg's topic in School, College Programs

    Just as a word of precaution although you can obviously make the decision you feel comfortable with. Of the schools you have mentioned Chamberlain, GCU and WGU, the first two cited are for-profit...

  13. Need pedi rotation for FNP

    Buyer beware replied to gospa's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Did you sign an arbitration agreement waving your right to sue the school over issues of deception? For this school or any school to claim to find preceptors for students is a come-on but very...

  14. Online NP Programs

    Buyer beware replied to aejRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP, Many schools get off cheap by offering online degrees. You sound like you would consider online school if it were more like ground school. It also sounds like you are deeply concerned about the...

  15. NP VS MD?

    Buyer beware replied to Pharmahaulic's topic in General Nursing

    OP, Despite your faulty line of reasoning I don't think the psychiatrists are in danger of extinction. As far as Jules A's post being pulled, I have a suggestion. Maybe all taboo posts could be housed...

  16. FNP Clinicals

    Buyer beware replied to Joanna Crawford's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't believe that you are being denied preceptor opportunities because you are an online student. This excuse is usually a pretext used by preceptors (teachers) who are already overburdened by...

  17. Keiser University for ABSN?

    Buyer beware replied to plphil4's topic in School, College Programs

    OP, I would suggest looking at (collegescorecard.ed.gov) to look at a variety of schools. Lots in your area. The nursing program AN site is chock full of for-profit schools incessently looking for...

  18. Online, part-time, affordable NP programs

    Buyer beware replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you go to (collegescorecard.ed.gov) and put into the search engine South University Savannah Online, you will see that they report a graduation rate over an allowable six year reporting period of...

  19. California Career College RN Program?

    Buyer beware replied to meganjoy12's topic in California Nursing

    OP, 100% of the time any school that has the word "career" in its name is poison. These are owned by loan you up for-profit business people or corporations who know the nursing cash cow when they see...

  20. Single Parent potential RN

    Buyer beware replied to ConsciousMommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, I can tell by the the content of your writing along with your knowledge of punctuation and grammar that you really are a smart person. But three children in ten years with litlle visable means of...

  21. What do you do with your "Stomachache" kids?

    Buyer beware replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    OP, In the olden days before the advent of intellectual vapor lock and the abdication of common sense the usual encounter between the nurse and the young person complaining of "my tummy hurts" would...

  22. Chamberlain Sac May 2017

    Buyer beware replied to AspiringNP/CNM's topic in Chamberlain College

    OP, If you go to (collegescorecard.ed.gov) and look up Chamberlain you can expect to pay 30K per year in tuition excluding books and gotcha fees. And after you graduate you can expect.to be giving...

  23. RN to PA

    Buyer beware replied to RNPA93's topic in Advanced Practice

    OP, I believe your onto something here. A lot of nurses erroneously believe that since they are a BSN it is a necessary progression to stay in the nursing tract. But I believe nursing has let its NP...

    Buyer beware replied to borninaugust30's topic in General Nursing

  25. Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam

    Buyer beware replied to Calabasas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So the study aid books by Kaplan for the exam are useless in preparing for the actual exam. Well this seems to be red-light #1. What other critical thinking skills can you apply towards the...
