1. Do you guys really hate nursing this much?

   damaranicole posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am a prenursing student looking to finish up and start applying to schools this January. I already have a degree. I've been doing sales support for about 8 years - so it's a pretty stressful position in itself. However, I think I was searching in t...

2. Thoughts on Accelerated BSN programs?

   damaranicole replied to damaranicole's topic in General Students

   Luckily I won't have to work, thanks to my husband. However, I do worry about neglecting my son. I just don't want to be at school all day long, and sometimes night, and then doing homework all night and all weekend. Was that your experiences? The ad...

   Has anybody completed one of these? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Did you have a family/kids at the time? Etc. thanks!

4. Working while in school

   damaranicole replied to Jvz1013's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would say waitressing or bartending would be most flexible if you have a manager that works with your schedule. PS - I'm in the same exact situation as you...already have a Bachelors, work full time in office and 28 years old. Still pecking away at...

   damaranicole replied to damaranicole's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is all of the information that the instructor provided besides the fact that he is 22 years old and in college...multiple sclerosis tends to appear between 20 to 40.

7. Case Study for Anatomy - looking for outside of the box ideas???

   damaranicole posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So, I have a case study for Anatomy and Phys. Wondering if anybody has any outside of the box ideas. I just keep coming up with multiple sclerosis or brain tumor. He has always been active in athletics. He played basketball, soccer, and tennis in h...

8. Have a BS in Biology now - what's next? ASN or BSN? HELP!

   damaranicole replied to Guest405338's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The difference in the public university BSN versus public community college ASN is about $10,000 which is reasonable IMO. I had originally thought that I would go to private BSN program if I didn't get accepted in to the public BSN program, but I hav...

9. Have a BS in Biology now - what's next? ASN or BSN? HELP!

   damaranicole replied to Guest405338's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's hard when nobody is very good at providing information to you. I have called multiple community colleges to try and get in touch with them about their programs, but no response at all. I guess that they are just overworked and have so many appli...

10. Have a BS in Biology now - what's next? ASN or BSN? HELP!

    damaranicole replied to Guest405338's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was a music major, so needless to say, I had absolutely nothing that carried over from my previous degree to a nursing degree. However, to my knowledge, colleges will waive the typical undergrad work that you would need for 2nd degree seeking stude...

11. UNCC vs. CPCC vs. CCHS vs. Queens - anybody in Charlotte?

    damaranicole posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Wondering if anybody is in Charlotte and if so, what are your thoughts on these programs? I would like to aim for a BSN since I already have a bachelors. However, I will be applying to all of them to cover my bases. Advantages, disadvantages, anythin...

12. Have a BS in Biology now - what's next? ASN or BSN? HELP!

    damaranicole replied to Guest405338's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Another factor that they pointed out to me for the ABSN versus the BSN, is that some people are just really thrown off by the amount of hours that you have to put in for the ABSN. I looked at the schedule and it's typically about a 21 hour course loa...

13. BSN vs ADN

    damaranicole replied to lkk0718's topic in Pre-Nursing

    "*** I have never worked any place where BSNs made any more than ADNs but I know in some places there is a small increase for BSN. The SICU where I work no longer hires new grad BSNs into the 7 month critical care nurse residency prorgam. Only ADNs a...

14. UNCC School of Nursing/ graduates

    damaranicole replied to misanonymous88's topic in North Carolina

    Did you get in? I am looking in to the program as well for Fall 2011.

15. How far in advance would you start studying for the TEAS?

    damaranicole posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think I read that you can only take it once every 6 months. I'm curious, how far in advance do you recommend taking it before an application is due? And, when should I start studying - 2 months, 3 months? Thanks!
