3. 6th nursing job in 4 years?

   beingthankful replied to rjstrickland23's topic in General Nursing

   I left insurance to become a nurse. Please believe me, the grass isn't always greener, especially since you highlight your struggle with anxiety & depression. Insurance comes with VERY REAL deadlines and quotas. Plus, it is a fair amount of "HOW...

   N1 I used the evolve case studies, and the quizzes/questions from the textbook. And the tutors. (A LOT) That's it. I purchased that fundamentals question book but didn't really use it until the end of the semester. N1 goes in depth into ADPIE. Figu...

   beingthankful replied to FutureCRNA93's topic in Florida

   Hello! This thread is older, but I'm a recent graduate of VC. You have made a WONDERFUL choice. N1 is the hardest because it challenges the way you must think about the questions. There are lots of resources available to you. USE THEM!

8. Age and nursing school

   beingthankful replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Students

   Oh Tiny Dancer.... Who are you competing with? Take a deep breath. Put away the snapchat, FB, IG, etc for about 10 minutes. I'm not being condescending, I'm being serious. This pressure has to be coming from somewhere. Within those 10 minutes,...

9. Basics

   beingthankful replied to Kescape's topic in Pre-Nursing

   What steps do you need "to make it to the top"? Short answer: Research. Plan to spend a LOT of time researching. It's great that your goal is to be a NP, but respectfully, from the tone of your questions, do you really (I mean REALLY), even unde...

10. Feeling overwhelmed

    beingthankful replied to alexandrajenkins's topic in Pre-Nursing

    In terms of you feeling overwhelmed... that's perfectly NORMAL! Lolol..... As a mom (who went back to school after a nice career to change careers)...the feeling that you are withholding yourself from your children may be adding to your stress. You...

11. Should I "waste" my time getting an ADN?

    beingthankful replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    Short answer: Apply to both. But don't think that you can "start working on an ADN" & then just transfer out to another school. Many times nursing courses are NOT transferrable. Word of caution...don't get caught up in the "competition" of a ...

12. Anyone NOT willing to move for nursing school?

    beingthankful replied to misskayy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I moved from NY to FL to go to an ADN program with a 9 year old. Look at ALL your options. Instead of seeing what you lack, look at what you HAVE & work from there. Do you have family somewhere else that you can love with in the time being, etc? ...

13. Is it better to get an ADN or BSN?

    beingthankful replied to Irena67's topic in ADN/BSN

    Which one is "better" is dependent on your personal situation in my opinion. If you have the time & inclination go for your BSN. If you want a faster economical start go with ADN. Good luck on your decision!

14. RN to MSN

    beingthankful replied to WCSU1987's topic in ADN/BSN

    I don't know about a financial "reset" of a MSN (yet) but I can tell you as a "2nd degree" - I went ADN route, with the scholarships specifically from the college on the ADN level, I paid $2400 out of pocket for my ADN. I had multiple job offers pri...
