   Is there any risks in becoming an Oncology nurse?

   Miss Infermiera2b replied to lindsaymRN's topic in Oncology

   To piggyback on this post about the potential fertility issues of being an oncology nurse...does anyone here receive any form of hazard pay? Are you paid extra for having the ONS/Chemo certification? I've never been offered a cent extra for being a c...

   Pre-nursing student seeking advice: MA vs CNA?

   Miss Infermiera2b replied to H.marie's topic in General Students

   CNA would probably be the best transition to bedside nursing. Personally, I was a medical scribe. I learned an enormous amount of pharmacology, medical terminology, and the flow of the ER. I credit that job to doing very well in the last two semeste...

   Should I study nursing at this age?

   Miss Infermiera2b replied to Shankarbabu's topic in General Students

   I'm sure India has plenty of work for nurses, and you already have a foot in the door of the healthcare system there. Why are you thinking of moving to the USA?

   Nursing school help

   Miss Infermiera2b replied to Kaut9200's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Okay, with that outburst aside, please understand that we are trying to help you. The people on this thread are nurses and student nurses who have been there and are trying to tell you that a poor science GPA isn't going to cut it. Nursing is a scien...

   Do you consider yourself a "pre-nursing student" or "nursing student?"

   Miss Infermiera2b replied to NolaLj's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you. I have busted my butt in my RN program so far and gone through the most stressful academic experience of my life and it infuriates me when pre-nursing students say they're a "nursing student". Sorry kids, you didn't earn that badge quite ...

   Daytona State College RN Program Fall 2016??

   Miss Infermiera2b replied to Taymont's topic in School Programs

   For those of you concerned about your TEAS scores, I just wanted to let you know that DSC only considers the TEAS score if you have exactly the same GPA as another student and they have to pick one of you to get in. As long as you passed, it shouldn'...

   Nursing school help

   Miss Infermiera2b replied to Kaut9200's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Besides the question of getting accepted to nursing school with such a poor GPA, it's also important to remember that nursing school will likely lower your GPA. In the case of my program, I got straight A's through my pre-reqs and I am now a B/B+ stu...

   Planning a wedding in nursing school?

   Miss Infermiera2b replied to Mini2544's topic in General Students

   My boyfriend proposed to me during my first semester of nursing school. We have firmly decided to wait unti I graduate (May 2017) to start wedding planning. Nursing school and holding a job is hard enough without the stress of putting together a wedd...

   Getting into nursing programs with lower grades, plus rate these schools!

   Miss Infermiera2b replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You might be a bit confused regarding how nursing programs typically work (or I just may not have understood your post correctly). You will need to complete pre-requisites in college before you can be considered for a nursing program. I'm not sure ho...

    Help, completely confused (pre-nursing, entry-level jobs, etc)

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to MomAndSonInMD's topic in General Students

    In my semester right before my RN program started, I took 2 science courses (with labs) with 3 other pre-reqs all together. With a job in the ER working nights. Managed to make straight A's that semester. I'm sure you could handle it.

    Are concept maps in LVN school similar to care plans in the RN program?

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to lauramitr's topic in General Students

    In my state, LPN's cannot make assessments or provide a nursing diagnosis, so my guess is that it's not the same. We don't do "concept maps for diseases", we create a care plan gathering data and making diagnoses on a patient.

    Difficulty of nursing school?

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to eman1haddad's topic in General Students

    I got straight A's in my pre-reqs and I am now a B/B+ student in my RN program. Most of the information isn't too difficult to grasp, but there is a huge volume of work for a short time, especially for those of us who work in school. Also, like othe...

    Bad semester...

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to studentx19's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm sorry you had a tough semester. Is there a way you could retake those classes? Unfortunately, I don't think C's will fly so well at NYU for your pre-reqs.

    Need help finding schools that will accept low GPA or lottery

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to kevonneo's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If this is the case, unless you go for a for-profit BSN program, there's no chance in hell to get into any other BSN or ADN program with a 2.1, I'm sorry to be so blunt. Also, I have no idea where you heard that you can't do RN-BSN with an ADN. RN-BS...

    Should I take a year off before nursing school?

    Miss Infermiera2b replied to NegNic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi there, I'm a FL nursing student originally from another state. Personally, I waited for residency before starting my nursing program. It was an enormous difference in tuition and any of the schools you listed are going to be very expensive for you...
