1. Is nursing for me?

   CNAinNeb posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have longed to be a nurse for quite a while. I struggled to get in, like many others have. I worked as a CNA (hence the name), so I thought I understood the role of a nurse from observing my former RN/LPN co-workers. Boy was I ever wrong. I am real...

   CNAinNeb replied to RNPATL's topic in Government

   When would be the ideal time to start the lengthy application process? Before you pass boards? While still in school? Just curious.:nuke:

4. changing major from nursing to english lit?

   CNAinNeb replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

   Follow your heart, even if that means giving up the parental help and taking out student loans. You won't regret it. College is all about personal growth, and it seems you have found yourself in English lit. Be proud!!

5. Opinions on Kaplan...

   CNAinNeb replied to panels1105's topic in Nebraska

   Kaplan lacks NLN accreditation, but it does have state accreditation (thus nothing transfers), and has a horrible pass rate. It would wind up costing you much more for your education if you get your LPN at Kaplan. If you have all you pre-reqs complet...

10. Kaplan University student

    CNAinNeb replied to ladyarawin's topic in Nebraska

    Good point. I know how that waiting list can be. You can't put your life on hold for forever.

11. Kaplan University student

    CNAinNeb replied to ladyarawin's topic in Nebraska

    What small town? Are you near Beatrice? If you are at all interested in going on for an RN, I would go to Southeast CC for the LPN, or at least for your pre-reqs so you can save yourself some money and transfer credits later.

13. It is me or them!!! I can't stand it anymore!

    CNAinNeb replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever worked as a CNA? Perhaps they have too much to do. They aren't superhuman. I work my tail off, and it is never enough.

14. PhD REQUIRED for CRNA's?

    CNAinNeb replied to sundowners2's topic in CRNA

    I don't see how this is possible, since a PhD is a research degree. Perhaps you mean a clinical doctorate? It seems possible, since that is the direction NP is going.
