   TiredKitten replied to georgiapeach27's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm with the people saying look at the hospitals in your local area. In my state, diploma and associate nurses have no problem getting hired, even to specialties like OR, NICU, and ICU. The hospitals all have new grad orientation programs. Several of...

   TiredKitten replied to kmek30's topic in NCLEX

   I had problems with Pearson Vue not being able to email me my ATT. After multiple attempts with 3 different emails, they finally just mailed me a hard copy. By the time I got that, a month had gone by and my classmates had long received their ATT and...

   Flfuturern, how many of the prerequisite classes do you have finished? The more classes you have when you apply, the higher on the list you will be.

   TiredKitten replied to IGotThis86's topic in Arkansas

   Like I said, the only prereq they require finished before starting is A & P 1. They will look to see which classes of the 9 prereqs you have done. They use a point system that assigns so many points for each A, B, and C, and that's multiplied b...

6. what was your gpa when you got accepted into nursing?

   TiredKitten replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Jaycam is right. It depends on the school and state for both nursing and being a doctor. In my state, there is only 1 medical school that graduated MDs and their minimum GPA is 2.7. Before I applied to nursing a few years ago, the head of my biology ...

7. Take Microbiology online or on campus?

   TiredKitten replied to varonte69's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Take it online if you do well in online classes. I took a 4 credit hour micro class and lab online and it was so much easier to manage with kids. Most of the people I know recommended online because they thought it was easier than the campus class. I...

   TiredKitten replied to IGotThis86's topic in Arkansas

   Hi Hopefulkim99. If you have a prior degree, you probably already have several of the 9 classes required for graduation with associate. And most of the non nursing BSN classes. The only class required to be finished when you start the intro to nursi...

9. RN started affair with pt...led to divorce

   TiredKitten replied to Whispjes55's topic in Professionalism

   I would report it. Don't we as nurses have the responsibility of reporting things? If it was a fellow nurse and her patient, would you hesitate reporting? I would have a problem using a case worker that showed such horrible ethical breach of morals ...

11. Possible attendance write-up

    TiredKitten replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be looking for another job with better benefits. I've never heard of a nursing job with so few time offs. The place I'm at now you accrue 8 hours of vacation and 8 hours of sick time a month. After you've been there 3 years, each one goes up to 1...

12. Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    TiredKitten replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    I've heard other states have long wait lists. Some of the schools here might have you on the wait list for a year if you don't get in the first year. But some have no wait list and take everyone that applies. A poster on another thread just mentioned...

13. Should I get the second AA degree???

    TiredKitten replied to hellfirecat's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had to take a sophomore level or higher stat class for my ASN. Most program around my area require it at the associate level. If you didn't have it when you do a bridge program, you'd be required to get it at that time. I'd check out the BSN progra...

    I was originally wait listed the year I applied (2012) as were a lot of others. I and others got a phone call the last week of June saying we were in the class that started July 5. There were 59 of us in that class. So until the class starts, don't g...

    TiredKitten replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    If you are willing to relocate to NV for cheaper living, consider something in a southern state or western part of the Midwest. Like Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, etc.. Those states may not have as much competition to get into a nursing progr...
