  2. I entered ABSN as I already had Bachelor's but I had to take and retake science prereqs b/c I graduated a long time ago. I had 3.98 GPA on those and other related courses I took. I wrote in essay that my most recent academic achievements accurately...
  3. We Must Demolish NP Diploma Mills

    If they are students, then of course they are not yet ready to be an NP! That is the definition of a student! Your job as a preceptor is to help them get ready. If they knew everything, then they wouldn't need a preceptor!
  4. Questions about withdrawals

    Relax. It is fine. I had Ws and got into Johns Hopkins and UCLA! You can address these in your essay - just explain what like you did in your post. Best wishes!
  5. Walden vs Wilkes PMHNP

    Both of them are for-profit diploma mills. There are plenty of reputable nonprofit schools out there, so please go to one of those.

  11. Ceased placement due to not taking vital signs properly

    What school are you going to? From what you said, the placement site completely over-reacted. You are a student! Of course you are not going to know everything. Your school should have assigned someone from the school to be the liason between you...
  12. Nursing Scholarships. Is Nursing Corps worth it?

    Is it worth it? Of course it is! Hmm . . . full-ride scholarship (tuition, books) plus a monthly stipend for living expenses like housing. Why would anyone want that?
  13. Psych clinicals w/ no inpatient?

    That is odd. My ABSN program had in-person psych. Frankly, I don't see how simulation can replace the real thing.
  14. Choosing a Nursing School - I have Many Questions

    Why on earth would you pay 200K for Master's degree to become an RN? That is insane. Please do some ROI analysis before spending this amount of money and probably incurring a lot of debt. How much do you think you will make as an RN? RN pay v...
  15. Current BSN student, externship + NP school?

    Your mental health is the most important thing. Take the Summer to rest up and finish strong to graduate from school with your mental health intact. If you want to become an NP and work in derm, no one is going to care if you have hospital expe...
