  1. Needing encouragement, continue with school?

    I'm in my clinical now of Adult Gero primary care np program...and in the same boat as you. I had many second thoughts before I started clinical in May but thought I was too far in to quit completely and only had the 1 yr of clinical left. Now I ha...
  2. RN or PTA

    Wanted to add also that being a PTA is not a fast-track to PT....you would have to start at square one with a PT program. No credit would be given for your PTA education because PTA is an Associates degree and PT is now a doctorate program. They ar...
  3. RN or PTA

    A little about me....I'm 40 yrs old. I come from a family of RNs (mom and sister), but I didn't think I could do it myself. Instead, I had always wanted to be a PT and got my BS in Biology first, planning to apply to grad school for PT (before it w...
  4. Any new 2nd degree nurses?

    Hi there, I recently graduated from an accelerated BSN program and started orientation at my hospital a couple of weeks ago. There are quite a few things that I did not have the opportunity to do on my clinical rotations, such as insert Foleys or ev...
  5. I got in!!

    I got my acceptance letter to an accelerated program for BS to BSN!!! I got accepted for the Fall 2004 program, because the 2003 program is already filled up. But I need the time anyway to re-take some pre-reqs (A&PI, A&PII, and Micro) beca...
  6. Anyone still waiting for their letter? ARG!

    Still waiting here! I called today and they couldn't find 2 of the 4 transcripts that I had sent....and then the admissions lady asked if it might be under a different name. Duh! I didn't even think of that. My transcripts are under my maiden nam...
  7. anyone try Zone diet?

    I have tried it! I bought one of the Zone books and found it really interesting....and it did make total sense! I didn't follow it exactly the way they had it mainly because I didn't like a particular food, but I did add more protein to my diet and...
  8. anyone else changing careers to go into nursing?

    Hi Debi, I think that at the time, my sister didn't realize that I already did many of the things that nurses "complain" about....wiping butts, working weekends and holidays, etc. As a PTA working mainly in geriatrics, I deal a lot with the unsavory...
  9. discouragement from RNs...

    I'm sure that you will be a great nurse...you are determined and have the desire! I hope to get into an accelerated BSN program that I applied to recently. My mom and sister are both RNs....my mom has been a med/surg nurse for almost 30 years and l...
  10. anyone else changing careers to go into nursing?

    What a great thread! I am currently in the process of applying to an accelerated BSN program. If I get in, it will take 11 months, but I have to re-take A&P I/II and Micro:rolleyes: I have a BS in Biology, then I got my Associates Degree and a...
