1. Started Volunteering in the ER on Monday

   Blondie26 replied to Doug85's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This post inspired me to check out volunteer oportunities in my own area. I looked and they have an opening in the ER transporting patients, being a liason between staff and families and completing paperwork. I wonder what type of paperwork I will do...

2. sick of ADN vs BSN! like most of us have a choice anyway!

   Blondie26 replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

   I'm in agreement that people with ADN degrees can be just as good of nurses as those with BSN's. My mom got her ADN from a CC in the Minneapolis area and she's a great nurse and has had many opportunities throughout her career. I don't know if I am r...

   Blondie26 replied to okie2's topic in ADN/BSN

   It must depend a lot on what part of the country you are from...I live on the Minnesota/North Dakota border and in my area the closest ADN program is about an hour away! We do however have two BSN programs around. Also, the hospitals around here alwa...

   Blondie26 replied to Hope2Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think we need a support group for this fall! We can call ourselves the "Chem Cowards" :chuckle. Kidding! With some studying and determination and a little support we can do it.

7. Starting school in Fall-Scared of Chem/Math!

   Blondie26 replied to Hope2Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I feel the same way! I graduated with History and Political Science degrees and I have no idea how I'll do in Chem/Biology. I'm TERRIBLE at science courses. Hopefully with studying it will make some sense...Good luck!

8. Anyone have experience with accelerated BSN?!

   Blondie26 replied to Blondie26's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for everyone's input! To Reese_Cup, I am going to Concordia in Moorhead. Although, my cousin went to North Hennepin for her RN and liked it, she just graduated this May.

9. Anyone have experience with accelerated BSN?!

   Blondie26 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi! I am starting an accelerated second degree BSN program in MN soon. I am so nervous :uhoh21:. I was just wondering if anyone has ever been through an accelerated program? What were your experiences? Did you feel prepared after you finished? I hav...

10. Considering a nursing career but my background is unrelated

    Blondie26 replied to isnursing4me's topic in Career Support

    i just graduated with a degree in history in 2004. i am really excited to start nursing school (accelerated bsn) soon! i think that having a bachelor's degree in another area will maybe help, i suppose it depends on the person and their degree.
