1. For all the RN's that passed nclex on 1st shot

   tiquicia replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

2. Do you ever think about going to medical school?

   tiquicia replied to Michelle123's topic in General Nursing

   I wish I had never talked myself out of medical school while back in college; I decided to pursue nursing instead and have since had many doubts about whether it was the right choice. Maybe I'm still seeking my niche. Anyway, the thought of changin...

   So, to continue on this job-switching theme... If there's a new grad ED training program starting at Hospital A in 6 months, but I really want to get a job in the meantime, would you advise that I get a med/surg job at Hospital A to make the switch e...

8. Do you have to be a Nurse before a NP?

   tiquicia replied to Soon2BNP's topic in General Nursing

   In many areas, it is far easier to get into master's entry programs than community college ADN or state school BSN programs. If one is looking to obtain an advanced degree at some point (not necessarily to be an NP, but perhaps to work in management...

9. advice about educational path?

   tiquicia replied to tiquicia's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the advice, folks! Kona, I have considered direct-entry MSN programs but have decided to become an RN first, gain some working experience, then go for a masters because I'm still undecided about which specialty to pursue. Plus, I've hea...

    Hi students! I'm new to the forum and am trolling for advice... I REALLY want to be an RN and am wondering which schooling option would be best. I already have a BA and can't decide if I should go for my ADN at a local community college or apply fo...
