If you’re in school and you’ve managed to learn how to read, you probably have to deal with multiple choice tests. Though they’ve become a little scarcer in the very early and very late levels of education, and perhaps in some charter schools, multiple choice tests are stand-by assessment devices for most educators in America. Why are they so popular? Part of the reason has to do with the fact that multiple choice tests are extremely easy to create and extremely easy to grade. In a multiple choice test a teacher or professor can decide on a “right” answer (though reality may be a bit more arbitrary) and give students credit for choosing the right answer out of a group of four and not give any credit to students who choose the [+]

Being a nurse has long been considered to be the noblest of professions. In fact, even to this day, people from certain ethnic groups or communities look at nursing as the only viable career option. Apart form the tremendous satisfaction it brings from the sheer act of caring for and nursing people to good health, nursing is slowly but surely becoming a lucrative profession. Most nurses today in American hospital and private nursing homes earn reasonably good salaries. And hospitals continue to recruit scores of nurses from all over the world to cater to the demand for qualified nurses.  But becoming a nurse is not really inexpensive. Apart from the fact that the course itself is expensive, most nurses have to appear for certifying exams in order to get the necessary licenses [+]

It used to be that education by way of online learning—or what is called distance learning or distance education--was implemented as a supplement to the brick-and-mortar classroom (or conference room) teaching and learning methods and materials. But technology as it is—progressive and multi-beneficial--online high school and online college courses have become sometimes viable sources of learning…without the student having to ever step foot in a classroom. Contemporary learners taking online college courses can benefit in a number of ways that they otherwise could not, having no way to get to school, for example, or having no desire to attend an institution of higher learning. They might have children, a home, and one or more jobs that keep them from physically enrolling in or attending classes at a campus that might be [+]

So, should you get an MBA?  Is it worth it?  It's a lot of time and money.  But, here's what our research is still saying. Getting an Online MBA is an advantage, because in reality an MBA graduate with experience has an advantage compared to the normal top business employees. MBA programs are a milestone in terms of education and serves, sooner or later the person who did it. An Online MBA is fast becoming popular because of the fact that it offers a great deal of flexibility to the students. Let me give you and example.  A friend of mine has worked for his company as a Revenue manager for 14 years.  He's been very good at his job.  A new employee with his MBA began working for the company.  Within 6 [+]

Over the course of 4 years, I met with hundreds and hundreds of LPNs, LVNs, ASNs, and BSN nurses.  All of them interested in moving forward in their career and earning a higher level nursing degree.  One of the most crucial points of meeting these nurses is when the transcripts came out. What courses will transfer so I will know what I have to take? One of the hardest things was when a nurse realized that some of her college credits were not going to transfer.  There are different reasons a college course will not transfer. The college you went to was not accredited.  This is mostly true for degreed nurses, or for nurses who did not attend a traditional college. The course they took was more than 7 or 10 years old. The course you [+]

It has been 5 years since I worked with the College Network, recruiting nurses to go back to school to get their ASN, BSN, or MSN.  I was always amazed at the number of nurses who said "No" to going back to school. Most of the excuses I heard were something like this: I don't have the time I heard the clinicals were too hard. I heard you can't pass the clinicals I do more than those BSN nurses anyway I don't have the money That clinical costs too much money What if I don't pass Those are all excuses based on fear, gossip, and simply being stuck in a rut for several years.  It's time to stop the excuses and stop listening to other people (letting them control) your life, and move on to the goals and dreams [+]
