1. getting a job with an ASN and a BA?

   JulianaRose replied to ryanalice's topic in ADN/BSN

   Our hospital requires 80% of nurses to be BSN due to their Magnet status. The reasoning is due to some evidence-based studies saying BSN trained grads have fewer errors. I personally will not be looking for continued employment with them due to their...

2. In LPN Program - Denied Acceptance into ADN Program

   JulianaRose replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

   I agree that they probably won't make the exception for you, and it might be a better use of your time studying for LPN finals exams, or the NCLEX-PN. However, the only thing that fighting it should cost you is your time, so it probably wouldn't hurt...

7. 2nd year nurs student, "single" mother of 5...help!

   JulianaRose replied to lallybroch's topic in General Students

   I will be going to school with 5 kids too. What are the ages of your kids? The older ones may have to take on more responsibility, depending on how old they are. In my case, my SO is going to have to take on a lot more. Luckily our schedules allow fo...

8. I'm transferring with less than a year until I graduate.... Am I crazy?!

   JulianaRose replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

   I think you're making an excellent decision. One extra year for a BSN over an ADN? It sounds like an easy decision to me. Good luck to you!

10. Online nursing school?

    JulianaRose replied to JMECNA's topic in Wisconsin

    Fox Valley Technical College has a lot of online pre-reqs that you could take and transfer into your program. Even A&P I can be taken online (however not Microbio or A&P II). Do some research - most pre-reqs can be taken online, but no core c...

    Hello everyone! I joined the site 2 years ago when I began my journey starting pre-reqs, and I have visited many times while posting very little. I am finally starting core nursing classes in the fall for my ADN and am hoping to post more often over ...

13. Nursing School Newbie HELP!!

    JulianaRose replied to omgnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    There is nothing quick about a nursing degree. Both 2-year programs and 4-year programs typically take 4-5 years. My advice for you would be to look for a community college that accepts based on your application date and does not consider high school...

14. I regret forever not going to medical school

    JulianaRose replied to nurse2dr's topic in Relations

    If it is taking you 10 years to go through nursing school, what makes you think you would have made it through medical school back then anyways? Things are always harder when you have a family to worry about too, but not impossible. Good luck whateve...
