1. EMT-B while waiting for ADN?

   futurecnmstudent replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing

   How about getting a job as an ED tech? You don't have to be licensed, and it would give you exposure to the emergency department.

2. Plan B: Changing Majors?

   futurecnmstudent replied to julz16's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know it is hard, but don't give up. I applied to 8 programs before getting accepted at SJSU. The good things about this school are they take 85 students each time (compared with about 50 at other schools) and they have a fall and spring start. I su...

   I have not seen it, but after clicking on the link, I would really like to.

4. Associate or BSN ?

   futurecnmstudent replied to ICUr_Scrubs's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There are some schools that have a direct entry master's program for students with a bachelor's in another field.

5. ABSN program survey question

   futurecnmstudent replied to CRNA2BKY's topic in Pre-Nursing

   "Now, for the traditional BSN students, I feel that giving them some busy work is ok, because they've never been in college before, and need to "pay their dues", so to speak. They have lots of time to do the busy work and do well in school. It is ver...

6. How far would/do you commute to school?

   futurecnmstudent replied to Lovely_RN's topic in General Students

   I commute ~70 miles one way. I leave almost 2 hours before my classes actually start. I luckily have another student in my classes who I meet after about a half hour drive and then we carpool together. It is nice because the drive is not so boring an...

7. Anyone here waiting to hear from CSUS Sac State?

   futurecnmstudent replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It seems like you have a good chance. That is a great score for the TEAS and high GPA. I also didn't have health care experience or a second language. San Jose didn't require either of those. It is funny how even though both schools are in the CSU sy...

8. Anyone here waiting to hear from CSUS Sac State?

   futurecnmstudent replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Good luck! CSUS is a competitive program to apply to. I applied to CSUS fall '06 and spring '07. Both times I was somewhere around #70 on the alternate list. I did however, get accepted to San Jose State this spring (with the same grades). So if you ...

9. Anyone crazy enough to take A&P w/ nursing 1

   futurecnmstudent replied to rntobeteresa's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My school required a & p as prerequisites. I do not think I would understand what was going on in my nursing classes without this background. Nursing classes are going to talk about the body. It may be hard for you to keep up if you don't know te...

10. I need some advice!

    futurecnmstudent replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    Go for the BSN. I am in a BSN program now. At my school, you can get your CNA and LVN as you go through the RN program. So you can work as a CNA, then LVN while you are going through the program to get your RN. Try to apply for financial aid to h...
