1. nursing shortage

   anouk replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think nursing school is responsible for the nursing shortage. I think that the problem lies with poor working conditions. The attrition rate for nursing is horrendous.

2. Why hosp cannot pay nurses more, according to one CEO...

   anouk replied to st4304's topic in General Nursing

   I've often thought about this very topic, seeing that I am a nursing student as well as a former teacher. I think that the reason why nurses aren't payed more is because it is a female dominated occupation. Fields that have a lot of women, traditiona...

7. Getting A Bsn With The Intention Of Becoming A Doctor

   anouk replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

   As I said before I know that as an undergrad you can major in anything. (I think I probably should have flushed out my post more) There seems to be the misconception that obtaining a BSN its easier to get good grades because majoring in nursing is no...

8. Getting A Bsn With The Intention Of Becoming A Doctor

   anouk posted a topic in General Nursing

   I just wanted to get some thoughts on this. There are a number of people who are entering the BSN program with me in the Spring who plan on using their degree as a "springboard" for medical school. By this I mean that they planning on graduating with...

9. I don't WANT to be a doctor

   anouk replied to Halinja's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with the OP nurses, are "professionals", just like teachers. You just can't walk into a hospital or clinic and magically become a nurse. In addition to being a physically demanding job nursing involves years of formal training (i.e. school) a...

10. Working Full Time and Going to School Full Time

    anouk replied to crucian's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the type of student that you are. If you decide to work, whether it's part-time or full time, you have to manage your time wisely. If you are not good at managing your time, I would highly advise against it. It also depends on th...

14. The letter......Spring 07

    anouk replied to NRSNFL's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I got my letter today (and from my first choice yeah!!!). I had gotten tired of checking the mail and calling the schools to ask when do they send out their acceptance/rejection letters. Finally when I'd stopped stalking the school of nursing, I find...

15. Science course order

    anouk replied to semi-fly's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Take Chem first. I took Chem, A&P 1, A&P 2 (during the summer over 5 weeks span.) and am currently in Micro. It really depends on the student and the professor. If you want to take two at a time, I would ask around to see which professor has ...
