  1. IS IT BETTER TOO...?????

    An ADN allows you to sit for the NCLEX to become an RN. If you have the time, go straight to RN, you will make more money right from the start. I know there is a lot of debate about this, but some say it can be harder to find work as an LVN (althou...
  2. Everett Community College has a CNA course that is 10 credits, and I think they are going to offer it for spring quarter this year. (I took it about 4 years ago and thought it was a really fun course) I realize Everett is rather far for you, but ju...
  3. Oh no! Advice please!

    Something very similar just happened to me, but it was cellular biology I was trying to get in. I've been out of school for a year, so I was in the last group to be able to register. I was so bummed when I saw the last spot for the class I needed, ...
  4. online BSN cost

    Where I live, we have a public university that does a RN to BSN program. I believe it's one night a week, lasts one year. The cost is probably around $10,000 for the entire year.
  5. Should I become an LPN or stay CNA?

    Where I live you have to do the same pre-requisit course work for an LPN and an RN. At my local community college, LPN is 4 quarters, RN is 6 qaurters. Here a CNA starts around $11-$12 an hour, LPN starts around $16 an hour, RN starts at $25 an ho...
  6. Calling all maternity nurses!!!

    Don't have the answer to your question, but just wanted to say you might want to ask this on OB/GYN nurse specialty board. :)
  7. Precipitous birth

    I know this thread was started a while ago, but wanted to chime in as a mother of many. These things just happen! With my fourth child I told my nurse the baby was going to be coming soon, and while she listened to me, the doc did not. I told her ...
  8. single mother returning to school for rn licence

    I don't have advice, as I've never been in that situation, but I just wanted to say good for you! That's awesome that you had the courage to leave a bad situation and create a better life for you and your kids. Good luck to you!
  9. Pregnant in Nursing School?

    First I would suggest you find out what your school policy is about missing class/clinical. Every pregnancy is different, even women who have more than one child can have pregnancies as different as night and day. (I can speak from experience on th...
  10. Everest College

    I personally think that before starting a nursing program, any nursing program, you should find out what potential employers think and what type of reputation that program has. There is a community college nursing program in my area that is easier t...
  11. Need help, what classes should I take

    Do you have a nursing advisor you can talk to? They will be able to give you the best advice. Also, look at what the nursing schools in your area require. What about sociology or speech/communications? I agree that a second language class is also ...
  12. Medical Terminology: To Take or Not to Take?

    I loved my medical terminology class, it was so fun and I learned a lot. I certainly don't think it would be a waste of your time if you took it, even if you don't need to.
  13. where should i start

    I agree, take the pre-req's first. (all the schools in my area won't even consider you for nursing if you don't have all the pre-req's completed when you apply) By the time you are finished with that, perhaps your husband will have a better idea of...
  14. My school's grading policy SUCKS!!!!

    All the health sciences at my school (and all the surrounding schools) are graded the same way. They hold those going into the health care field to a higher standard; nothing wrong with that.
  15. Which Medical Dictionary?

    I have the Mosby's and Tabers, and I love having them both. Sometimes one will explain better than the other. Tabers is smaller and more portable, Mosby's has more pictures. (nothing like a good medical picture to really drill it in your head!) If...
