1. Nursing Admissions: A Frustrated Student's Manifesto

   VeggieBSN replied to medicapoetica's topic in General Nursing

   You sound very bitter and disgruntled about this but to be honest, most of the information you've provided in your "manifesto" is gossip and hearsay. Maybe you should look into other schools if your unsatisfed with this one. Not all schools are like ...

2. Why I'm STAYING in nursing

   VeggieBSN replied to WKShadowNP's topic in General Nursing

   I love ER nursing at my Peds Hospital. It keeps me on my toes and I love the teamwork. I'm currently working on my NP/MSN but honestly miss the idea of leaving ER/bedside.

3. Social Class and Nursing

   VeggieBSN replied to AllOfMyWat's topic in General Nursing

   I feel like I've gotten the whole "stepford nurse" when co-workers ask me why I work when my parents are well off and supportive and husband has well payed professional but I honestly think it's something women say when they are still stuck with the ...

4. PNP thinking FNP is better? What should I Do?

   VeggieBSN posted a topic in NP Students

   Hello everyone! I'm currently in my first semester of NP school but I'm having second thoughts about doing the pediatric NP instead of FNP. My nursing background is 2 years of working at a children's hospital in California. I feel comfortable working...

5. How much does your school matter when it comes to getting hired as a new grad?

   VeggieBSN replied to amd615's topic in Career Support

   Honestly, you should apply everywhere and worry about reputation after you know you've been accepted. The only sure advantage is a BSN program over an ADN.

6. National University Generic RN class schedule?

   VeggieBSN replied to misspinkmeow's topic in California

   Hi guys, I would say that you'll be able to get away with working for the first few classes because you'll only be in school 2-4 days(TTh or MTThF or MTWF). However, after you start fundamentals and med-surg, unless your a genius who doesn't need to ...

7. Yet another burned-out nurse question...

   VeggieBSN replied to Gabrielle33's topic in General Nursing

   Is saying YOLO appropriate for this? Lol Honestly I think you should do what you need for yourself. You will only hurt yourself and maybe even your patients if you cannot give nursing your 100%. There will always be jobs (even in crap economies) and ...

8. National University Nursing Program

   VeggieBSN replied to NursKam's topic in California

   Glad to help :) I hope you figure out which route is good for you. I'll probably check back in here after a while too just to share any updates or anything.

9. National University Nursing Program

   VeggieBSN replied to NursKam's topic in California

   There isn't a lot of math in the pre-reqs for NU, just that med statistics class but its about more data analysis/interpretation with basic math than hard advanced math (At least that's how my class was like). I'm sure you'll do fine once you put ...

10. National University Nursing Program

    VeggieBSN replied to NursKam's topic in California

    I was generic entry because this will be my first bachelors degree. The only difference between accelerated and generic is that generic also requires you to do GE classes for the bachelors while for accelerated you only need the Nursing classes. But ...

11. National University Nursing Program

    VeggieBSN replied to NursKam's topic in California

    No problem :) actually a lot of the students have no previous healthcare experience, including myself. I think it's worth it because you'll be able to pay it back within a couple years because you'll be working earlier. As for jobs, quite a few peopl...

12. National University Nursing Program

    VeggieBSN replied to NursKam's topic in California

    Hey, I'm in the RN program at national (cohort 9 - fresno). Wanted to say that yes it's a BSN and while its good to start studying for the teas early, I would suggest waiting until you've actually taken the A&P, Micro classes so you have a better...

13. Which would be better? ADN or BSN?

    VeggieBSN replied to Reckless96's topic in ADN/BSN

    Definitely go for BSN, your young and have the time for it. Plus most hospitals are now leaning towards hiring BSNs only.

14. Score of 90 on TEAS V

    VeggieBSN replied to sacnurse's topic in TEAS

    Maybe you should post this thread in the Teas Exam Help area, you'll probably get more replies there.

15. National University Workload

    VeggieBSN replied to NikkiT's topic in California

    There are evening classes for pre-reqs and most likely you'll only be taking one class at a time so I don't think there will be an issue with working and school. However, that's my opinion on just the pre-reqs. Once you get into the program, scheduli...
