1. BSN vs ADN Education?????

   BA2BSN replied to Traumatized's topic in General Nursing

   I am earning a BSN because I value a bachelor's degree, not because I think other people will any more than an ADN. I have heard it will not get me any more money, more prestige, more opportunity, blah, blah, blah. It will get me the opportunity to...

2. I made a 100 on a test and most everyone else did poorly...

   BA2BSN replied to Tweety's topic in General Students

   They all need a life. Where do you go that people get 100's? MUST BE NICE SMARTY PANTS!!!

3. Family problem

   BA2BSN replied to Student_Nurse_WV's topic in General Students

   You are not responsible for other's failures. What would she do if the shoe were on the other foot? You think either would think twice about it?

4. Another financial aid question...CC vs. private college

   BA2BSN replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Students

   No clue. One question - does your CC have a waiting list to start the nursing program? Mine has a 3 year list and required som really stupid classes they would NOT take from my BA. It would hve taken me about 7 years to complete what I will have f...

5. Anyone thinking about med-school?

   BA2BSN replied to nurseabc123's topic in General Students

   No. If I wanted to be a doctor I would have been one.

6. Paying for Accelerated BSN?

   BA2BSN replied to Hannahhmc's topic in General Students

   Can you say zero interest credit card? Yup. We got a line of credit for me to use, but I hate the thought of doing it and getting whacked with interest charges, so I am using a zero interest card for purchases which INCLUDES school that expires nex...

7. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

   BA2BSN replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Students

   I graduated with high honors from a university already and will say NURSING SCHOOL IS DIFFERENT! I have kept A's with only 2 B's and I am halfway through my first semester as a junior (split semesters - it's this super accellerated 18 month thing of...

8. Tricked into Nursing

   BA2BSN replied to ARNPsomeday's topic in General Students

   The way I look at it, even if I decide I don't like floor nursing (which I do not anticipate), getting your RN is the foot in the door to the healthcare industry and there is always a job there. Myself, I already a BA in HR and experience in that fi...

9. Do you ever think about going to medical school?

   BA2BSN replied to Michelle123's topic in General Nursing

   I will tell you what I told someone this weekend with they said why don't you just become a doctor: Because I don't want to be any damn doctor! A nurse is not a half-way doctor, a nurse is a nurse. *Maybe* I would get a master's later on, and not ...

10. Curious as to how many NICU nurses have previous personal experience in the NICU

    BA2BSN replied to fmrnicumom's topic in NICU

    I am becoming a nurse because of my experiences in having children. My first was an emergency c at 35 weeks. Both of us were at the end due to my moron doctor who "didn't know" I had toxemia. Knowing what I do now after all my studies and talking ...

11. Introing myself!

    BA2BSN posted a topic in NICU

    This is my first new thread at all nurses - just found you guys! Hope you don't mind me lurking around here - I have one year left in my ba -> bsn program and I'm verymuch wanting NICU when I graduate. My son is a NICU grad and a few of the nurs...

12. An upsetting fetal death

    BA2BSN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I apologize for that - I glanced over it and was grossed out and that was it! I don't know what any of those sites are and have never accessed them. This was legitimately emailed to me by a friend of mine who is a nurse who was horrified. It looke...

13. An upsetting fetal death

    BA2BSN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Here ya go. I am warning you it is extremely graphic and I heard there are pictures involved, though I could not bring myself to look. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44777

14. (post is long) oligohydraminos,hyperemesis gravidum & enlarged placenta???

    BA2BSN replied to errantz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry to butt in...I know we don't know each other, but boy, do I feel for her! I had my son three years ago in an emergency C due to SEVERE Oligo (level II u/s only found about a tsp in his bladder) and of course, failing heartrate, shunting blood ...

15. An upsetting fetal death

    BA2BSN replied to PegRNBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For the record, I COMPLETELY believe the story about the baby in the freezer. I just read a new article about an abortionist eating the remains (I will gladly post the link if anyone is in doubt), so I would not put what that story states past the p...
