  1. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah I would think NU has one of the higher NCLEX pass rates in the state, last cohort was about 97% pass on the first try; the only reason that it was not 100 is because 2-3 people did not take the...

  2. Hospitals offer big bonuses, free housing and tuition to recruit nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    https://allnurses.com/nursing-student-assistance/help-transferred-to-1153740.html And yet ANOTHER article about non-accredited RN programs. Do I still not know what I'm talking

  3. Travel Nursing: The good, the bad, and why I probably will never do again-Part 1

    Mr_Edwino replied to Have Nurse's topic in Travel

    Welp, I've lived in Waukesha, and it's kind of like living in the 80s all over

  4. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree, but to be fair their side of the story claims that the pre-orientation dates were not in the body of the welcome letter, only in one of the attachments. They failed to open and read all of...

  5. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    Just so you guys know: If you get accepted, and I'm sure many of you will, do not miss a single orientation or event leading up to the program start date or you'll be dropped from the program. Two...

  6. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    There are two GPA criteria: 1. Your cumulative gpa has to be either 78 or 80 minimum depending on your entry (generic or post bachelor have different minimums) to even be able to apply to the...

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    Nice scores, with that teas you may be a candidate for SDSU

  9. Hospitals offer big bonuses, free housing and tuition to recruit nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    While that may be partially true ( I don't work in HR or anything), I'm basing it on the facts from the study from the link(s) I provided. Apparently so. I actually didn't know that either; but...

  10. Male Nurses that lift weights and stay fit

    Mr_Edwino replied to S-Rank's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I do brazilian jiu jitsu and it keeps me fit, sane, and de-stressed. I've been at it 8 years

  11. Hospitals offer big bonuses, free housing and tuition to recruit nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, exactly the same to

    Mr_Edwino replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Actually, the links I provided reference ADN programs specifically...if you read

  13. Hospitals offer big bonuses, free housing and tuition to recruit nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I'm sorry you're having trouble understanding. That's my fault for not explaining it in a way that you can understand. You are correct in saying supply and demand does not help with retention, it...

  14. Hospitals offer big bonuses, free housing and tuition to recruit nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    I've taken the courtesy of linking an informative article written here on A.N. about an individual (and a large percentage of RNs) who have non-accredited degrees and the problems they encounter....

  15. Intimidated by being only male

    Mr_Edwino replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You'll get used to it. When you get into nursing school the ratio evens out a

  16. Hospitals offer big bonuses, free housing and tuition to recruit nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    If you read the entire post, you can see I pointed out that the "nursing shortage" analysis needs to be specific in regards to degree level. ADNs are RNs, but I categorized the ADNs that have an...

  17. Hospitals offer big bonuses, free housing and tuition to recruit nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    It is far too broad of a statement to say that there is a "nursing shortage, when there are so many factors to consider. Surpluses and deficits vary from state to state, as we know, but also along...

  18. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    You would only need an essay score of 2.1 I order to hit that 84 cutoff. Unless you absolutely blew the essay, you'll get in easily with your scores. Now keep in mind, I'm using an arbitrary cutoff...

  19. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah, you are in good shape still. Using the last cohort's cutoff of 84, you would need a 4.7 minimum on your essay and you're in. If the cutoff is lower than 84 there might be more wiggle room...

  20. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    When I went to orientation, the thing I took away was if you have 2 strong criteria and one weak one, you will get into the program. So if you have a solid gpa and a good teas score, you probably...

  21. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    I think they are very particular. The closest we have come to knowing the actual criteria for grading essays was posted by someone else in this thread who worked with a previous grader of the essays....

  22. Thinking about getting a gun for safety

    Mr_Edwino replied to MotoRN34's topic in Home Health

    I think you should consider martial arts as part of your training. Either jiu-jitsu or Krav Maga will help you train against an aggressive attacker. If the program avoids grappling, avoid the...

  23. Thinking about getting a gun for safety

    Mr_Edwino replied to MotoRN34's topic in Home Health

    Did you consider getting a taser? much safer, user friendly

  24. Ask a CRNA anything...

    Mr_Edwino replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    Technically, the schools don't have to change until the national date set, but according to the director of the CRNA program at National University(I spoke with him on the phone for 30 min), they are...
