3. WGU Rn to Bsn

   SN2014 replied to Whouston's topic in General Nursing

   I know someone who I work with who is in the program and likes it. The only bad thing I've heard is that you can only get what's equivalent to a 3.0 gpa due to their pass/fail system. This is fine, but if you want to continue on into a graduate progr...

4. RN, ADN being obsolete

   SN2014 replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

   They've said this since I began nursing school in 2011. I graduated in 2014 with a RN nursing diploma. Had no issue at all finding a job. Many of the new nurses at my current place of employment have just an associates. It is only a problem if you'...

5. Wanting to Quit Nursing School

   SN2014 replied to _ashley_'s topic in General Students

   The first step in accomplishing something is telling yourself your can. IMO, I wouldn't give up. You're almost done! There are a million different things you can do as a nurse that is not as stressful as an acute care bedside nurse. Consider addictio...

6. Is there even a chance for me to pass nursing school

   SN2014 replied to Timbo117's topic in General Students

   Yes it's possible. Try to stay calm, study, and take care of yourself. If you are that stressed and having bad thoughts there's also no shame in seeing your primary care doc regarding it. During nursing school I was also very stressed and dealing wit...

7. Need advice on picking best RN to BSN online program

   SN2014 replied to chrisRN180's topic in Online Learning

   Make sure they are CCNE or ACEN accredited. This is really the most important thing. I'd also suggest against Western Governors University or any other school that operates on a pass/fail system. (Not for everyone just for your specifically based on ...

9. Family life & School

   SN2014 posted a topic in SRNA

   Hi I am wondering how those of you who are parents were able, financially, to go to CRNA school. Did your significant other support you during? Did you take out cost of living on loans? I know that during CRNA school you cannot work. How do you affor...

10. Would you do it all again?

    SN2014 replied to wooten3955's topic in General Nursing

    Right now, I'd say no..... like everyone else says we get paid so little to work so much. Unfortunately, it's not one of those jobs that you can just "leave the stress at work"... it follows you. In a few years, when I'm done with my BSN, go to CRNA...

    Hi! I'm looking for a(or more than one) CRNA to ask a few questions. I am currently writing a paper for one of my classes (for BSN)... I have only a few questions that I need to ask someone in my "long-term goal field", which is to be a CRNA. Unfortu...

13. Buying a new car for a new nurse ??

    SN2014 replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

    Get something, anything, with a reasonable monthly payment. I know so many people, including myself, who went out and bought an new vehicle out of school, now with whopping monthly payments... not worth it.

15. The ONE thing that will make your nursing life easier

    SN2014 replied to forumjunkie's topic in General Nursing

    Mandated ratios! And... a physician on-site at night... I work at a smaller hospital (only 6 bed ICU) with a 30 bed med/surg/tele floor.. and the only doctor in the building is in the ED. It would be nice to have a MD, or even a NP or PA-C that works...
