1. What Can I Do With A BSN? (Without a license).

   AspiringNurse0223 replied to Chloe Price's topic in General Nursing

   A lot of people are saying that a BSN is useless without getting your liscence. However, I disagree. You can definitely be involved in research without a liscence or any field that requires a bachelors of science. When I am looking for jobs, most job...

2. Doing Checked off Clinical skills at home?

   AspiringNurse0223 replied to curlybirdie's topic in General Students

   Many times, nurses or doctors show family members how to treat their loved ones at home (such as in the case you mentioned). If you were not in nursing school, they would probably teach another family member how to use the peg tube. This has been the...

3. Why did you become a nurse?

   AspiringNurse0223 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm in pre-nursing and I decided to do a BSN because I love learning about different diseases/conditions, physiology, and patho :) I hope to become an NP. I know it sounds super selfish, but I didn't really decide on nursing because I want "to help p...

4. How many hours a day do you study?

   AspiringNurse0223 replied to AspiringNurse0223's topic in General Students

   Where I live, an "A" range is 80%+, but I understand that a B range for some places is 80-90. So what would an "A" and a "B" be for you?

5. How many hours a day do you study?

   AspiringNurse0223 posted a topic in General Students

   Will be applying for a 2 year accelerated nursing program and I've heard some pretty scary things. Like people being accepted with a 4.0 but then barely passing etc which is freaking me out especially since I plan to go for an MSN afterwards. I do no...

6. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

   AspiringNurse0223 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

   I'm not allowed to have an opinion? In NO WAY did I comment on the quality of education in nursing programs between different schools. I was merely pointing out how many of these schools provide students many very good research and employment opportu...

7. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

   AspiringNurse0223 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

   Why would that matter, though? I have several friends that go to multiple different nursing schools. But my point wasn't necessarily that the "prestigiousness" (probably not even a word lol) probably doesn't really matter when applying to jobs. But i...

8. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

   AspiringNurse0223 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

   I go to a "prestige" school and this "prestige" is noticed by ultimately everyone in the country. It is due to both the difficulty of the courses and the extensive medical research that takes place. The atmosphere itself is also extremely competitive...

9. UofT NP 2017 Fall Admission

   AspiringNurse0223 replied to ON.Community.Nurse's topic in NP Students

   Thanks for the info! Fortunately, right now I have TONS of volunteer experience and may soon have a paper published in a journal! I am a hard worker so hoping I will be able to achieve a 3.7! I will do a lot of studying before I begin the program to ...

10. How to do amazing in nursing school?

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to AspiringNurse0223's topic in General Students

    Woah 1 year is very short!! All accelerated BSNs in Canada are 2 consecutive years (including the summer)! :/

11. Should I still do nursing?

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to shayjulia's topic in General Students

    Good suggestion, but assuming OP lives in Canada, Canada (or at least Ontario) doesn't have any CNAs. We have PSWs (Personal Support Workers) but they are quite different from a nurse's aid. They usually work independently and do very different roles...

12. Should I still do nursing?

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to shayjulia's topic in General Students

    You can upgrade those marks through correspondence then apply to Ryerson's program. I have taken a course through ILC (ilc.org) and liked it. It stands for the Independent Learning Centre and it's an online high school in Ontario. I actually took bio...

13. I can't find a JOB!! I'm so discouraged

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to NurseNextDoor's topic in Canada

    Wow this thread is so discouraging! OP, I really REALLY hope you found another job!!! I am planning on attending an accelerated nursing program (just about to complete my first bachelor's degree) to obtain a BSN and become an RN. I live in southern O...

14. Why do you visit allnurses.com?

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

    I'm an aspiring nurse! So trying to see everyone's points of views in the profession. But I must say, it is scaring me a bit :/ there has been quite a bit of negativity which worries me :s

15. Is nursing a good career choice? I've heard so many horror stories!

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to Raven1994's topic in Canada

    I love epi but I think what I want to do most is get an MSN to become an NP. Just worried about getting a high GPA in nursing school in order to get into a Masters. I have great study habits as already shown in my undergrad degree, but still worried....
