This brief online guide explains that hospice is a concept of care, not a place, designed to provide comfort and support to terminally ill people. The goal is not to cure or treat a patient, but to improve the quality of his or her last days. Care provided by a team, including family members, concentrates on controlling pain and discomfort. Hospice also deals with the emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of dying. The website explains who is eligible for hospice care, the caregiving team, what happens upon entering a hospice, and insurance coverage of hospice services. There is also a short "myths and facts" section and an opportunity to "ask an expert" a question via the website.

Drexel ACE Fall 2012 - page 2
Hey guys... Just checking to see if any of you have applied for Drexel's ACE program for the Fall of 2012. I applied this past summer, and I know that they just began looking at applications October 15th! Has anyone... Read More
- 0Oct 31, '11 by lmnovak3Hi guys! I just got my acceptance letter today, so be on the lookout! I am SUPER excited and feel so relieved! My stats will probably be very reassuring for some of you. Although my undergrad GPA was a 3.8, my degree was a BA in Advertising and I only have 7 prereqs complete as of right now (I'm taking two right now, two in the spring, and two in the first summer session). Best of luck to all of you!!!
- 0Imnovak- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I have a few quick questions- when did you apply? And did you get the letter in the mail AND did your status change online on discoverdrexels website? Or did you just get the letter in the mail?!! I knew they were going to start looking soon but wasn't sure it would be this soon. You got accepted to ACE rather than the classic undergrad program right? Congrats again and good luck to all
- 0Nov 1, '11 by pdxjennMy status on the drexel website has changed to this: "Thank you for your application. Your file is currently complete and under review. A decision has not yet been made regarding your admission status to Drexel University. If additional materials are required before an admission decision can be rendered, we will contact you"
so hopefully I will hear from them soon!!
- 0Nov 1, '11 by lmnovak3I don't know the exact date, but I applied at the end of August. I'm unsure what my status is on their website... I'm not really sure how to check that. But I received a package in the mail yesterday (Oct. 31st) and the letter was addressed on Oct. 26th. And yep, it's for ACE, not the four-year program!
- 0Congratulations!!!! And thanks for the info pdxjenn- I hope you get in too!!! i would probably rent an apartment in center city cause the nursing school is not on the main campus in universal city. It's near race and vine i believe. Rittenhouse square is a beautiful neighborhood but it is very expensive for the most part. I know a few of those apartments allow dogs!!! A lot of college students and Grad students tend to live on Benjamin Franklin parkway which is pretty close to the school and suburban station, and the prices are usually more reasonable. I'm not sure if they allow dogs but it's definitely worth finding out!!!
- 0Nov 2, '11 by angelina726Congrats imnovak3!!! That is awesome, you must be SO excited... My status changed to the currently under review one, that looks like everyone else has at this point in time. Ugh, this wait is driving me CRAZY!!!
- 0Nov 10, '11 by phillies21what has been going on lately??? Has anyone heard back???it has been very quiet on here for the last few weeks...still waiting.

On or about April 23, 1996, the Debtor Minerva Miller and Debtor's late husband 19 granted Washington Federal Savings and Loan Association ("WFS") a trust deed on "Lot 6 of 20 the Victoria Court Subdivision, Shady Cove, Oregon, according to the official plat thereof, now 21 of record," and such trust deed was recorded in the Jackson County, Oregon real property 22 records, Instrument Number 96-15241 on May 10, 1996 ("WFS Trust Deed"). That trust deed 23 was given to secure a promissory note of even date in the original principal amount of 24 $204,000.00. WFS is the owner and holder of that note and of the beneficial interest in the WFS 25 Trust Deed. 26 Page 2 of 5 - FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW HERSHNER HUNTER lLP A!TORNEYS PO Box 1415.

JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as acquirer of certain assets and liabilities of 8 Washington Mutual Bank from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Receiver for 9 Washington Mutual Bank, named herein as JPMorgan Chase Bank National Association 10 ("JPMorgan") is the holder of those notes and the successor beneficiary of the JP Trust Deeds. 11 12 4. On December 29, 2004, after approval by the Oregon Real Estate Agency, a 13 Declaration of Condominium Ownership for Victoria Court Condominiums (the "Declaration l ,,) 14 was recorded in the official records of Jackson County, Oregon, as Instrument Number 2004- 15 075174, by Dion H. Miller, Minerva B. Miller, Alan L. Lynn, Andre B. Feliciano and Elaina T. 16 Feliciano as Dec1arants. 17 5. Thereafter, the real property formerly known as Lots 1,2,4,5, and 6 of Victoria 18 Court Subdivision became subject to the condominium form of ownership and became known as 19 the Victoria Court Condominiums ("Condominium"). 20 21 22 6. The portions of Lots 1,2,4,5, and 6 of Victoria Court Subdivision other than the buildings became the common areas of the Condominium. 23 7. Pursuant to the Declaration, owners of each Condominium unit in each building 24 became the owners of: (I) their respective unit; and (2) an undivided fractional ownership of the 25 26 1 The defined term "Declaration" includes any amendments to the Declaration.

WFS and Washington Mutual Bank consented to the Declaration and the 5 formation of the Condominium and such consent was recorded in the Jackson County real 6 property records, Instrument Numbers 2004-018232, 2004-033493 and 2004-033494 7 (collectively, the "Consent"). 8 9 9. After the Declaration was recorded, several subsequent purchasers and secured 10 parties acquired interests in Condominium units and those common elements located on Lots 2, 5 11 and 6 of the prior subdivision. 12 10. The subsequently recorded deeds describe each respective interest in terms of 13 units in a condominium, not lots in a subdivision. 14 15 II. On April 13,2010, Defendant Northwest Trustee Services, Inc., as trustee of the 16 JP Trust Deeds, recorded notices of default and elections to sell Lots 2 and 5 of the Victoria 17 Court Subdivision, initiating the non-judicial foreclosure of the JP Trust Deeds. 18 12. Because the property descriptions provided in the JP Trust Deeds describe the 19 scope of the encumbrances in terms of lots, instead of individual units with associated interests in 20 the common elements, the other parties with an interest in those common elements located on 21 former Lots 2 and 5 will be foreclosed and the Condominium will effectively be terminated if JP 22 Morgan concludes its pending non-judicial foreclosures. 23 24 Conclusions of law: 25 1. 26 This court has subject matter jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157, 1334, United States District Court Local Rule 2 I 00.0, and FRBP 7001.

Marshall 564 U.S. _ . 131 3 S.Ct. 2594. 2011 WL 2472792,180 L.Ed.2d 475 (2011), this bankruptcy court may not enter a 4 final judgment in this matter because it is a matter of state law that has not been resolved in the 5 process of ruling on federal bankruptcy issues. 6 7 8 9 3. Declaratory relief is appropriate because the parties are in an actual controversy regarding the effect of the Consent on the WFS and lP Trust Deeds. 4. Where a condominium agreement is recorded and a pre-existing mortgage exists, the effect ofthe consent by a pre-existing mortgage holder is to subordinate its interest to the 10 condominium agreement, thereby changing the pre-existing mortgage holder's property interest 11 to reflect the condominium form of ownership. Therefore, the effect of the Consent is to 12 subordinate the WFS and lP Trust Deeds to the Declaration. Such subordination shall change 13 the property interests secured by the WFS and lP Trust Deeds to reflect the condominium form 14 of ownership, as described in the Declaration and as more specifically described in the proposed 15 form of judgment. 16 17 18 19 20 21 Scheduling Order: These findings and recommendations will be referred to a district judge. Objections, if any, are due 17 days after entry of these Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Ifno objections are filed, then the findings and recommendations will go under advisement on that 22 23 24 25 date. If objections are filed, then responses are due 14 days after being served with a copy of the objections. When the responses are due or filed, whichever date is earlier, the finding and recommendations will go under advisement. ### 26 Page 5 of5 - FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW HERSHNER HUNTER '" ATrORtiEY$ PO B

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Vaginal Rashes and Sores
A rash in your vaginal area (vulva) may be caused by
irritation of the skin from many sources, such as
clothes rubbing against the skin. Rashes that occur without other symptoms are
usually minor and often go away with home treatment.
A common cause of a rash is contact with a substance that causes
irritation or an allergic reaction (contact dermatitis). Soaps, detergents, shampoos, perfumes, or lotions can cause
contact dermatitis. Often the rash from contact dermatitis is very itchy, but
it is rarely serious. Changing your soap or detergent may be all you need to do
to prevent this type of rash.
Other conditions that may cause a rash in the vaginal area
Conditions that may cause a sore, blister, or lump include:

'Fast' Races Past 'Hangover' at Weekend Box Office
By Derrik J. Lang
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It's a blowout at the box office.
Fast & Furious 6 is revving past The Hangover Part III in the No. 1 position at the Memorial Day weekend box office.
Universal Pictures' (CMCSA) sixth installment of its muscle car franchise featuring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker debuted with $98.5 million domestically from Friday to Sunday, according to studio estimates Sunday.Meanwhile, the final edition of the raunchy Warner Bros. (TWX) comedy trilogy starring Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms opened with $42.1 million in the No. 2 spot. Universal estimates that by the end of the four-day holiday weekend Monday, Fast & Furious 6 will have pulled in $122.2 million domestically and $275.5 million worldwide. That would give it the second-biggest opening of the year behind Iron Man 3. Paramount Pictures' (VIA) sci-fi sequel Star Trek: Into Darkness earned $38 million at No. 3 in its second weekend at the box office, while the Fox animated film Epic opened at No. 4 with $34.2 million. Overall domestic receipts for the four-day Memorial Day weekend are expected to come in ahead of 2011's record-breaking $276 million. Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com, estimated that four-day revenues this time will total $323 million, about 15 percent above Memorial Day weekend in 2011, when The Hangover Part II delivered a $103.4 million debut.

Zeel, the Crunchier Zocdoc for Alternative Healthcare, Now Lists 2,300 Massage Therapists, Acupuncturists, and More
Betabeat first met Zeel, a Zocdoc-type appointment-booking service, last month when the mentoring program Startup "Don't Call Us An Incubator" Health announced its inaugural class. The New York-based company vets alternative healthcare providers like specialized massage therapists, chiropractors, registered dietitians, acupuncturists. Users can search listings by price, location, years of experience, and certification.
The company makes money if you book an appointment through Zeel. Service providers are charged a 12 to 13 percent fee, inclusive of credit card fees, which ends up netting Zeel about $9 per transaction. Zocdoc, on the other hand, makes money by charging physicians to be listed on its site. Read More

Such a cute costume. I bought the 4-6 size, and it just fits my 4 year old. I think it'd be way too snug for an older child.

I bought this for my son--we got it in less than a week (great shipping time!). It fit my son (size 7; I bought the size 7-10) perfectly. I wouldn't call this high quality, but for wearing for a few hours on Halloween, it's fine!

Title: Cute Costume

I was a little scared of what the quality of this costume would be, given the affordable price...however, it is pretty good and my daughter loves it. It runs a little small...so if your child is taller than average, go the bigger size. It falls just below my 6 yr olds rear end.

This fits a boys size 6x-7, not 7-10! It is on the smaller size. It is also more of a washed out red (pinkish) hue. The front is the only part that has the crayon markings, so I have taken permanent marker and continued the markings on the back so it looks like a real full crayon. Still a very cool costume and glad we got it!

2003 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.1 V6.
Check Engine Light
codes P0753.
Question = I have a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix with 84,000 miles on it. My "Service Engine Soon" just came
on about a month ago and when it did my cruise control stopped working as well. I can feel it has trouble
shifting and I have hooked it up to a machine that AutoZone has to check my problem and it says its a
transmission module (P0753). We have asked others who say that it probably isn't the problem because
they have never heard of one of those going out and it's probably a wiring issue. Can you tell me what
you think it might be?
This codes refers to the 1-2 shift solenoid. Be sure to
check all fuses
first. Specifically the "TCC" fuse in
the underhood fuse block.
If that is ok, 2 things possible. Either you have a connector problem at the 20-way transmission case
connector causing this code, or the solenoid. The solenoid is on the valve body in the side case of the
Suggest disconnecting transmission connector with key off, look at all terminal, pull the harness a little so
as to change its position, then plug it back in. Clear the codes and drive it.

If the back lighting of the radio wont come on, there are bulbs that are soldered to the circuit
board. Very tricky to replace. Usually end up causing more problems. If it is the actual display, this
is vacuum florescent and there is nothing that can be repaired.

Sudan, Chad Agree to End Hostilities
By SOF Editor on Tue, 02/09/2010 - 11:28am
Printer Friendly VersionSend to a FriendThe presidents of Chad and Sudan have agreed to end hostilities and normalize relations between their countries. Chadian President Idriss Deby and Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir spoke to reporters Tuesday after meeting in Sudan's capital, Khartoum. Mr. Bashir said Mr. Deby's visit has "put an end to all the problems between Sudan and Chad." The Chadian president said his visit marks a "new page" in relations between the two countries. The two leaders said they plan joint projects to help those affected by the conflict in Sudan's Darfur region. They also pledged to support Darfur peace talks. Relations between Chad and Sudan have been hostile for several years. Sudan has accused Chad of supporting rebels in Darfur, while Chad has accused Sudan of backing rebels trying to topple Mr. Deby's government. The central African neighbors have signed at least five other agreements and peace deals, none of which have been implemented. Relations improved late last year following high-level talks about ending the rebel attacks and a new agreement to create a joint border security force. The countries share a border of more than 900 kilometers that is difficult to protect and relatively easy for rebels to cross. The Darfur conflict has run since 2003, when rebels rose up against Sudan's government. The United Nations says the conflict has killed up to 300,000 people and displaced some 2.7 million others. About a quarter-million of those displaced are living in camps in eastern Chad. Sudan puts the death toll from the conflict much lower, at 10,000.

Quilt group donates homemade bags to Hope Clinic
Katie Sprunger, executive director of the Hope Clinic, was pleasantly surprised recently when she was presented with a large number of homemade bags to be distributed among clients of the local social outreach agency.
Bags were made by Creative Quilters, a county quilting group that makes blankets, bags and other homemade hand-sown items that are donated to families with need, soldiers, and other agencies where their creations are needed.
ReJena Bluhm, a member of the group, said that these bags were made special because they were constructed by material upcycled and donated by local businessman John Kirchhofer from Yager Furniture. Much of the material, said Bluhm, had come from fabric samples at the local furniture establishment.
In addition, Gene and Bev Weber of Country Creations donated lining for the bags, where the quilters meet to do their work.
"When I had a recent conversation with ReJena, I became aware of her involvement in the Creative Quilters organization," said Kirchhofer. "She informed me of this project and I thought that the discontinued furniture fabrics that we discard at Yager Furniture could be used for a good purpose.
"The thought of helping someone inspired me to get involved with Creative Quilters," said Kirchhofer.
Bluhm said that approximately 40 workers are involved in the organization that also makes quilts that are given to veterans, blankets for Project Linus and pillow cases for hospitals and missions.
"Some of these bags went with one of our member's daughters to the mission field," Bluhm said.
Sprunger said that the bags would be used as diaper bags for clients.
"Sometimes when a mother has a newborn baby, we give them a welcome bag," said Sprunger. "When we give these bags as Christmas gifts, we put diapers and wipes and all kinds of baby items such as blankets, bottles, clothes, wipes and any baby item that we can fit into a bag.
"We do all that we can to support the life-affirming message to choose life for your child," continued Sprunger. "This (giving bags) is one of the ways that we support the mothers."
Bluhm said that she hopes that donations to the quilters such as the material will serve as a trickle-down effect to inspire others to donate to the Creative Quilters as well as the Hope Clinic.
"We hope that people will read about this and say, 'what can we do to help?'" said Bluhm. "This is the third bunch of bags that we've made, the most that we've ever given."
Hope Clinic offers the following services, free and confidential: free pregnancy tests and ultrasound verification, information on options, STD information and education, sexual integrity information and education, Baby Bucks program, maternity and infant clothing loan program, free diaper program, income-based, referrals to community resources, and "Tender Mercies" post-abortion recovery program.
"This community has been wonderful supporting our mothers," said Sprunger.
"In January, the churches collected baby items for us. There's nothing like looking in our shelves and seeing them stacked for clients. It is obvious that they are cared for and loved by this community. We are very thankful when people contribute in this way."
For further information about Hope Clinic or how to help, call: 260-589-3561 in Berne or 260-728-4191 in Decatur.

Rory would have to survive the first maybe even the second. After that I could see him picking him apart to decision. I think Condit would have won that if it wasn't for the injury.
Hoping woodley finishes Rory!
Lawler's standup (when he focuses) is much more technical than Woodley's. I think Woodley, especially as an orthodox fighter, will have more difficulty getting past Rory's jab.
I'm going with Rory to win in not very exciting fashion, save for a knockdown or two that Woodley gets along the way.

Hey everybody,
I've been working out really hard over the last 9 months and i've dropped about 50 lbs and i'm @ 165 @ 17% BF. Now i need to maintain that weight and drop the BF to 10% or so so i've upped the protein to about 160 g a day from about 40 g a day what i used to before. Over the last 3 months i've upped the weight training to real high intensity and i see some definition as well which is good. I've kept the cardio the same (Medium-High intensity..45 minutes 6 days a week). However, i've also noticed that i may be putting on some fat as my face is not as lean as when i switched over to this new diet with high protein. I'm wondering, is there any evidence to suggest that excess protein can cause BF% to go up? i'm going to give this new work out another month or so before i do my BF % test but i was thinking is my mind playing games with me?
My sources of daily protein are:
- Grilled Chicken Breast (About 0.5 lbs - so about 40 g here)
- Lots of 2% Milk (about 20 g of Protein here)
- Protein Shake (48 g ..ON Whey 100% Gold Star)
- Yoghurt (another 10 g)
- Hard boiled eggs(3-4 , no Yolk)
- Optimum Diet Protein Bar (20 g of Protein)
Do you guys think i should drop the Protein quantity perhaps like i had before and continue hitting the weights hard? My goal is to get cut, not hugely ripped. I'd like to be at about 10% with some serious definition, but not ripped like body builder style . Any thoughts or suggestions people?
The other thing is i've kinda been on this new protein diet for about 3 months now.

GWP! And so happy this was an option. It's a pinky nude that can be demure everyday or with a smokey eye for night. So versatile and formulation is just right. I think Lancome has some of the best GWPs:).
More reviews by theopenwindowmaniac
I received this lipstick from my mom's GWP. She's been a total Lancome junkie since the 80's, and she always makes sure to buy her staples when there's a GWP available. Since she only wears brown hued lipcolors, I get all the pink ones. And because my lipstick is a free gift one, I can't really comment on the packaging. The Color Design lipsticks are packaged much fancier when they're purchased separately. The GWP packaging is just a stripped down basic black case with a raised rose on the top of the cap. Functional, but not particularly impressive.
For shade reference, I'm an NW15, and this lipstick is perfect. I can definitely see it working on a wide range of skintones, but I think it would work best on fair to medium. I do have fairly pigmented lips, so this shade is actually close to a MLBB, but it is a bit too rosy to be a true nude lip for me. If you wear other Lancome makeup, but haven't tried this lipstick, get it in your next GWP if it's available! Especially if you're a pale girl like me.
This is the most expensive lipstick I have and my favorite of my collection. I love everything about this lipstick, the texture, the finish, the wear and of course the fabulous color. It's matte enough to be long lasting, but satin enough to not be too drying on the lips.
I'm really not a lancôme fan by any means but this is a gorgeous color for most skin tones except the very dark. It's pale but not too pale. I wear it over a nude lip liner (east end snob by rimmel) and it's stays for a solid 4 hours. It's great with a smokey eye or a softer day look.
If you have to buy one product by Lancôme, this is the one.
I received this color in a sampler kit and have to say I really like it. I usually don't wear lipstick, I'm more of a lip balm kind-of girl and if I do venture into lipstick territory it's red, but I think this has changed all that. It is the prettiest veil of pink - it's a cross between a medium mauve-pink and nude with the slightest lilac iridescence. I only apply it to my lower lip and then smack my lips together to get a demi-matte, lip-stain like look and it just looks incredibly natural and pretty, very springtime. I can see this working for many skin tones, from NC-20 (me) to those with a tan or even darker and the nice thing is, if it doesn't work out for you, it's light enough and has such a texture that it would act as a nice base for your favorite lip-pencil.

More reviews by 1CupcakeJunkie
I don't even remember where i first saw this color at but when i looked at a few pictures on temptalia i fell in love. i looked at all the good reviews so i went ahead and ordered it on sephora.com last week. I got it in the mail the other day and have been wearing it for the past two days. Love the creaminess of it but i still go ahead and use some balm with it. It is more rosey than the pic on temptalia. it might be cause my natural lip color is more pink than hers but still i love it. Very good for my office job and i can still wear it out with a dark smokey eye. I said yesbut I do not know if i would repurchase only because its $22 and i don't wear lipstick everyday. I will probably get a good long use out of this one tube.
I had been wanting a cool-toned medium pink lipstick for awhile. I kept finding ones that were too warm & that weren't quite right on my skintone (NW10). I saw that Temptalia had a swatch of this and this looked perfect! After I got it, I wasn't quite thrilled. But that was because I kept seeing myself in indoor lighting. Once I checked my makeup in the car, I realized it was perfect.
This may be one of my favorite lipsticks of all time. Its the most adorable yet neutral pink color I have ever seen. It adds amazing texture and color to my lips while it also leaves a neutral feeling. It looks amazing with any light gloss and it also applies easily. Like most Lancome products, this one is fairly expensive but it is totally worth it! Trust me!
I got this in a gift with purchase and it is my all time favourite lipstick to date! Beautiful neutral pink with a cream finish and has a smooth texture. Pretty similar to MAC's Angel! I have this in the sample version so I can't really comment on the actual products packaging itself. Pink's can be hit or miss for me I am NC35-37 for reference, and this is just a stunning shade that I think would suit many skin tones.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this lipstick in a GWP. I absolutely adore this colour. It's a perfect nude for my lip colour (I wear Lancome's lightest tinted moisturiser in 1). I don't often buy lipstick because I can never find the right shade, so I'm happy to pay extra $$$ when I find the right shade. I'll definitely be repurchasing.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This shade is the perfect natural color- that adds a little bit of a pink flush to your lips. its so creamy and last so long! Not going to repurchase it though- $22.00 lipstick is NOT in my budget.

Platt college? - page 7
Anyone out there who attends or is about to attend platt college??... Read More
- 2Sep 24, '08 by Mr BSNColoradoGrl: First of all, this is a question best answered by someone in financial aid. I can tell you a bit about my situation but it will probably not be the same as yours.
You pay as you go. The program lasts about 36 months, divided into four academic years. At the beginning of each academic year you sit down with the financial aid person (after you've filled out your FAFSA) who tells you what aid you're getting and what amount you need in loans/grants. I can't really speak to what your financial aid package would cover.
MyBSN: The first class graduated earlier this year, the second class will graduate in December. I'm not aware of any of the first class heading into grad school yet, and as far as I know most programs require a minimum of one years practice before they will consider your application.
My clinicals have been very good and have taken place at DH, Triumph, Spaulding, St. Joes, El Paso County Health Dept and Arapahoe House. I think you begin clinicals during your first or second quarter; that seems like a long time ago and I can't remember at this second. I'll have to ask a classmate and get back to you.
I'm not entirely objective, being in the program, but I've been told by more than one of my clinical preceptors that Platt students measure up well. I feel that I've received an excellent education and that my knowledge and skills measure up to those of students from other schools.
As you might imagine, accreditation is on my mind as well, and the more I learn about it the more I realize that it's a complicated subject. There are a whole lot of organizations that are in the business of accrediting schools and the organization that Platt chose twenty-five years ago has been a good fit for them up to now. Nursing programs have their own accreditation and I understand that Platt is working on NLNAC (and can't say a lot more than that about the process).
I didn't find the TEAS test all that hard, but I've heard that some people have trouble with it.
I know that the school accepts 15 students into each class and four classes per year, which means that ~60 people are accepted each year. I don't have any idea of the numbers that apply or are turned away.
Hope this answered your questions, I'm off to bed.
- 0Thanks for taking the time to write back! Do you know if I will have a chance to talk with students while I am at Platt during one of the information sessions?
I guess that I am not as familiar with the hospitals in the area as I thought that I was. Are those that you listed hospitals/ Dr. office? About how far are they from the school (range)? I am happy to hear that you are enjoying your time at the school! That alone is a plus!
Did you have to take all of the courses at P or did you have courses that were able to transfer in?
One other thing, you mentioned to COgrl that it was divided up into four years, but it is only a 35 month program?
Thanks, AGAIN!
- 1Sep 25, '08 by graceomalleyRNHi MyBSN,
I hate to enter the controversy (again) but I was in exactly your shoes about 15 months ago. Do some searches in this board (and read all of this thread in particular) to get a better handle on making your decision.
To answer your question about going on to get a Master's after attending Platt: first, call the schools in which you are interested in pursuing a graduate degree. Tell them about Platt.
There are three accreditation statuses to look at: state nursing board accreditation, the school's accreditation as EITHER a career school or as an institute of higher learning, and through a national professional nursing association's accreditation. This last accreditation is either through NLN (primarily community college through Bachelor's degrees) or AACN (Bachelor's degrees, Master's and PhD/DNP programs). The universities are beginning to segue over to AACN instead or holding both association's accreditation.
Platt is accredited by the Colorado State Nursing Board which means its graduates can sit for the NCLEX. Platt's school accreditation is through the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges of Technology. I believe Concorde and the other technical school whose name escapes me now are accredited this way as well.
This means that Platt's accreditation is not as an academic college or university. In Colorado, this accreditation is through North Central Association and would include such schools as the entire Colorado community college system, the University of Colorado System (UCHSC and UCCS), UNC and Regis.
Platt is trying to get an accreditation through NLN. I have no reason to believe they will not eventually be successful in this. The problem you will probably encounter will be, again, is in its status as a vocational school. Again, as a consumer you should absolutely call the graduate schools in which you are interested directly. Be sure to specify that this Bachelor's would be from a vocational school, so that they don't just simply say yes they consider anyone with a BSN.
Another thing to consider is that the credits at Platt are non-transferable. This is because they created their program with a different time line than other schools, NOT necessarily because it's less of an education. This would make an unforeseen forced move to another state a disaster.
I think it would be a good idea to PM those who've had both good and bad experiences with Platt and weigh your information carefully before jumping in. Good luck in your endeavor to get into nursing school.

Thank you for your information. It is different issues like this that concern me. It is so difficult to find concrete answers!
Are you at Platt now? Did you go?
I am really wanting to know, and I have read other posts... hypothetically, after graduating Platt can I endorse my license in CA? Will I still have a BA in CA? Do you know where I can find out? This is my primary concern...
Thank you so much for you info... I am looking into it and am quite sure I will have more questions for you!!

You're welcome. As far as endorsement issues, you will need to call the California Board of Nursing. If you can pass NCLEX here in CO you shouldn't have any problems but again, check for yourself.
You will not have a BA but a BSN if you attend Platt. Whether or not it is recognized by the grad school you want to attend will be up to that grad school. Again, you will need to call the grad programs yourself for accurate information.
Just to remind you though -- Platt can still provide you with an RN whether or not their BSN will translate into a grad school situation for you.
Once you know whether or not the grad school you wish to attend accepts Platt as a university, your decision should be much easier.
And in answer to your question: no, I chose not to attend Platt and am in another BSN program.

Wildchipmunk raises good issues, but I'd like to make a small correction to this item:

This is not quite correct, and is a little misleading. A more correct way to say it is this: Platt credits are transferable at the discretion of the accepting school. This is true for my credits from Red Rocks as well. Once you leave the state of Colorado, schools decide to grant credit based on a review of the course description and (or so it seems to me) a quick check of what phase the moon is in. One current Platt student had their credits evaluated at a state school in PA when they applied for admission and received credit for them. They have since chosen to finish at Platt before they make the move, but not because their credits were not accepted.
Also, Platt currently has transfer agreements with several MSN programs, including the University of California at San Francisco--arguably the finest school of nursing in the country. The goal, as explained to me, is to make sure that every nursing specialty is available to us as graduates. This is, in fact, a requirement of the Colorado Board of Nursing--Platt students must be able to further their education.
Graduates of a state-approved nursing program in Colorado are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN and be granted a license to practice nursing in the state, which is a member of the Nursing Compact, a group of more than 20 states that recognize nursing licenses from member states.
California is not a member of the Nursing Compact, meaning that you must apply for a license in the state, but are not required to sit for the NCLEX again. As Wildchipmunk said, the best information on California will come from the state board of nursing. Information on the Nursing Compact can be found at: https://www.ncsbn.org/158.htm
In answer to your question about 35 months or 4 years--you attend school for 35 months, which is divided into 4 academic periods (freshman, sophomore, junior, senior) that we call academic years. Each academic year lasts about 36 weeks.
Hope this helps.
- 1Sep 26, '08 by Mr BSNMy apologies, I misspoke in my last post!
Platt is working on an agreement with UCSF (and others), and currently has articulation agreements with University of Phoenix and Grand Canyon (both regionally accredited universities offering in-residence and online MSN degrees.)
- 0Sep 27, '08 by MyBSNYou seem to have an abundance of knowledge that I wish I had!!
Do you mind if I clarify? Several states (20+) will recognize a regional RN license. Is this received after one completes the RN program and passes the NCLEX Exam? And if the state does not recognize it that is when a licensed needs to be endorsed? Have you ever heard of a license being denied? ...Or generally speaking... if a current license is possessed (for example-a current license is held in CO) the individual must "simply" follow the states guidelines to have the current license endorsed?
Out of curiosity do you know why all states would not be a part of the compact?
I think that I understand the rest of the information... Thank you SOO much for all of it!
