1. Background checks, military discharge, etc

   PathToRN replied to andrew432's topic in General Students

   Where can we do a background check on ourselves?

2. B.S. or A.D.???

   PathToRN replied to viablecalifornialove's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Just being honest but if you can't handle bodily fluids I don't think RT is the way to go either. They are constantly suctioning trach patients and do come in contact with bodily fluids on a regular basis.

3. Already have a BA, Associate's RN or BSN? Question

   PathToRN replied to lifeisaflowergarden's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Can anyone answer this question though--- Is an RN who has a bachelor's degree in another field (lets say Psychology for arguments sake) equal to a BSN? If someone gets an ASN in nursing after they already have a B.A degree will they be treated the s...

4. If LPNs are being "phased out" should I forget about taking the LPN Program???

   PathToRN replied to Holly5477's topic in General Students

   I have been told also that LPNs are being phased out in my state. From what I have heard none of the hospitals are hiring recent LPN grads. I think you need to know what you are getting into before you spend all the time, energy and money to go to LP...

5. How competitive is your school of choice?

   PathToRN replied to tfleuter's topic in Pre-Nursing

   How in the world do they handle doing 500 interviews???

6. Am I too old to just be starting?

   PathToRN replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

   You are never to old. The only time it is too late is after you are dead.

7. Why do a lot of people aim for the bare minimum?

   PathToRN replied to kgh31386's topic in General Students

   Honestly it is sad that these type of people are taking the precious few nursing school seats away from others who might give a darn. I also find it scary that people like this are going into health care and depressing that some instructors are just ...

8. GHC January Admission RN Track

   PathToRN replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Georgia

   Thank you. That does help!

9. Turned off by fellow nursing students...

   PathToRN replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

   This is my opinion and is more of a general view of women more so than just nursing students-- don't assume because someone is "older" that she is "mature" or above being catty and juvenile. From what I have seen in my years, many women never outgrow...

10. GHC January Admission RN Track

    PathToRN replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Georgia

    I know they have a pre-admission work sheet where you can check on how many points you have. Do either of you know if you need to have all of the pre-reques done before submitting the application? I am lacking the communications class and the nutriti...

11. Accepted - but now I have cold feet!

    PathToRN replied to newlife09's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You are not crazy.. you are scared! Take a deep breath- it is going to be ok! Put that acceptance letter in the mail today. You have come too far and worked too hard to give up now! I know that the night before I started my first pre-requ I sat strai...

12. A & P I Quick Question

    PathToRN replied to 987!'s topic in Pre-Nursing

    I hate to say this, but if you think bones are hard wait until you cover muscles. There are about a bazillion, and you generally need to know origin and insertion of each one.

13. Rant

    PathToRN replied to ramona13's topic in General Students

    The fact that the OP posted her rant here opens her up to the potential that others may judge her words and the motives behind them. I do not disagree that she has the right to feel what she was feeling. However, in an open forum where people can m...

14. Rant

    PathToRN replied to ramona13's topic in General Students

    I agree with a few others here. It is not natural to be bitter. I know several people that got into nursing school this go round.. and I didn't. Am I bitter? No, just determined to do whatever it takes to make it in next time. I don't think it is you...

15. Slight dilema, any advice would be apprieciated............long....sorry

    PathToRN replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You need to get into the mindset that this is about YOU. I am concerned that you used her notes and relied on her to help you get through the class. I think your DH is right and is giving you very wise advice. It's one thing to make some study buddy ...
