1. Student Loans and Debt

   Seyleigh replied to jnniemeyer's topic in NP Students

   Many associates programs no longer do lottery admissions, like Cuesta, Antelope Valley College, or College of the Desert. San Marcos State offers an accelerated BSN through their extended education program. It would take longer to get your RN licen...

3. Non-Nursing Master's - Considering Nursing

   Seyleigh replied to kmb2020's topic in NP Students

   Physicians assistant is a masters program. You work under a doctor, often in an ER or private practice. You can prescribe medications and diagnose patients under the doctor's license.

4. Non-Nursing Master's - Considering Nursing

   Seyleigh replied to kmb2020's topic in NP Students

   If you have a bachelor's degree, a couple years patient care experience, and redo your science pre-requisites you can apply to a Physician's assistant program. I am a nursing as a second bachelors student and enjoy it. But I would have applied to a ...

5. When to apply for nurse practioner programs

   Seyleigh posted a topic in NP Students

   Hi, Disclaimer: I have one year left of my BSN program before taking the NCLEX. I know I still need to pass next year. But right now there is time to ask questions and look up information. How much registered nursing experience is needed before ha...

6. Anxious About Clinicals

   Seyleigh replied to Sunflower117's topic in General Students

   My class has a couple students with general anxiety. One had to repeat a year due to a panic attack. The other had to prove she was in therapy and working on the problem. Both are going to graduate.

7. Graceful way to NOT answer all the personal questions my patients ask me.

   Seyleigh replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Relations

   I'm a first semester nursing student who has been a patient in the past. Honestly? It almost feels rude not to ask a question about the provider or nurse when they've asked you so many questions. I like being a polite patient.

8. Need school advice from actual nurses

   Seyleigh posted a topic in Job Hunt

   I know hospitals prefer BSN to ADN RN's. Nurses with BSN's get paid more too. My mom heard from her cosmetic nurse that a B.S. along with an ADN is just as good career-wise as a BSN (or almost as useful). I already have my B.S. degree. Would a BSN ...

9. Associates degree first or straight to BSN?

   Seyleigh replied to FutureRN0914's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The likelihood of you getting kicked out is small as long as you are a good student and don't have a full time job. You can do your general ed courses at a community college, and transfer to a four year university after two years. Apply to the BSN p...

10. Online Science Prerequisites

    Seyleigh replied to Twinsmama28's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Don't most nursing programs require science labs as well? Or is lecture and lab separate at your college?

11. Advising basically told me I cannot be a nurse. Is there anything I can do?

    Seyleigh replied to vkhodakevich's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If you are able to move, you can apply to RN programs with a lottery system. Or retake the classes at a different college.

12. Advising basically told me I cannot be a nurse. Is there anything I can do?

    Seyleigh replied to vkhodakevich's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Option one: retake courses Option two: explore other medical careers other than registered nursing; possibly come back for an RN later. The LVN at my local community college is lottery only, so your C's won't matter. They also get priority for RN li...

13. Help!, I'm obsessing over a 4.0

    Seyleigh replied to Natasha_mer24's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Your plan to take the TEAS immediately after AandP is super smart. I did it too and it really helped my science score. A 3.7 is a great GPA and means you are a very hard worker. Plus, experience, TEAS score, foreign language, etc also count for mos...

14. 2 year ADN vs 3 year BSN

    Seyleigh posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Woohoo! I got into a 2 year ADN and a 3 year BSN program. Now I have to choose. I have free tuition at California public schools and a VA stipend through age 26, until 27. Since I'll turn age 24 in September, I have just enough to make it throug...
