2. HELP! failed pre-reqs

   sweetbriar replied to stacylethani's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, if you're unable to retake your classes to change your grades at that school then retake them at another school, like a community college.

3. My final steps - nervous as hell

   sweetbriar replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks so much for your encouraging words!! Yes, it's the people that tell me that I'm going to "hate" nursing either because it's hard work or because I'm an introvert that really bug me. I honestly have no experience in nursing, so how can I know w...

   It warms my heart to see another SBC Vixen on here!!! #SaveSweetBriar! I ended up working at SBC for 4 years (still there) and will be working there up until June 30th. I'm going to finish up my last pre-req this summer (A&P I) and will be applyi...

6. My final steps - nervous as hell

   sweetbriar replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and then reply :) I'm hoping that people in my life will also be more supportive once they see how dedicated I am. My friends, on the other hand, are all psyched and have been encouraging from the...

7. Should I take Medical Terminology for nursing school?

   sweetbriar replied to MntEMStoBSN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   MT is a required pre-req for the program I'm looking at, so I took it last Fall. I thought it was a super fun, super easy class and it gets your feet wet. It won't hurt anything to take it -- what's not to love about getting more education? :)

   This is going to be long, but I need to put it out there...get it out of my head. Any words of encouragement or realism are greatly appreciated. And thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this whole thing. Bless you. I've got one pre-req left (A...

9. ADN vs. BSN

   sweetbriar replied to studentnursemon86's topic in ADN/BSN

   Again, you're making assumptions. Yes. Leadership is earned. Higher degrees teach you new information and actual experience teaches you how to use information. A person with little to no experience, regardless of degree, should not be in charge of s...

10. ADN vs. BSN

    sweetbriar replied to studentnursemon86's topic in ADN/BSN

    But, dear, I'm not. You're the one who came gallivanting in here arguing about how lower degrees shouldn't be in charge and that, somehow, a BSN magically affords someone with the wherewithal to govern others from day 1. Leadership is earned and then...

11. ADN vs. BSN

    sweetbriar replied to studentnursemon86's topic in ADN/BSN

    My god. Your way of "making me see logic" is by insulting my intelligence and assuming "facts" about me that you have no idea to be true? Must be that fiiiiiine higher education you have, sweetheart, that helps others see the errors of their ignorant...

12. ADN vs. BSN

    sweetbriar replied to studentnursemon86's topic in ADN/BSN

    Pfft. Just because someone has a higher degree than others does NOT mean that they are more competent than those with lower degrees. The person in charge, regardless of their degree, was put in charge for a reason. This educational elitism bull is ri...

13. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    sweetbriar replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality

    I think that's awesome. It's less about people *not* understanding it and more about people being *unwilling* to understand it.

14. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

    sweetbriar replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I forgot to mention that the ADN program around here is about $20k or less, total, and the ABSN is about $40k total.

    Pagan here. I've come into contact with quite a few nurses and EMTs who are pagan :)
