   nurseadc replied to nurseadc's topic in New Nurse

   Actually, I have done several months of research and met with a university, a college transfer representative, and spent time on the phone. All universities require classes such as Microbiology, Statistics, Ethics, Nutrition, college transfer chemist...

2. BSN or NOT

   nurseadc replied to nurseadc's topic in New Nurse

   Hey guys...thanks. I have decided to take the job. My gut instinct was the job, but I just wanted to poll others for their opinion. I'm excited about the job offer I received. As far as the 6-7 year estimate on BSN, I was basing it on getting my pre...

3. BSN or NOT

   nurseadc replied to nurseadc's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks to you both for the advice. It isn't the actual BSN program that will take the time, it's getting the seven pre-req classes I need before I can even transfer into the program.

6. What's your story? Why did you take up nursing?

   nurseadc replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   Wanted to be a nurse after high school, fell into the party scene and didn't finish my pre-req. In my twenties, I got married(horrible idea), got pregnant(the greatest gift of my life), and then I got a divorce. I went back to school did very well in...

7. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

   nurseadc replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   I did my preceptorship in an ED and was amazed at some of the cases I we saw. Mainly clinic type complaints, including pregnancy tests, all of which are more costly in the ED. I don't get it. I guess if you don't have to foot the bill, it doesn't mat...

10. My 5-Year-Old Son

    nurseadc replied to chuckz's topic in General Nursing

    Aww..so heart touching. Our children are the ones who give us strength, who lift us up when we are down, and who are always there for us.....they are the gift that we have been given. It will always be amazing to know they want to, "be like us".

11. Became pregnant before starting nursing program

    nurseadc replied to jp48205's topic in General Nursing

    Take time to enjoy your new baby. The pre-req courses aren't really that beneficial, except maybe anatomy, which the nursing program will build on. Do what is best for you and the rest will fall into place.

12. Nursing as a first degree

    nurseadc replied to puppies1123's topic in General Nursing

    Go for nursing if that is what you want. There is a nursing shortage and if you have the grades, there is no reason why you won't get in.

13. I'm excited and just needed to tell someone! :)

    nurseadc replied to Cas0880's topic in CNA/MA

    Congratulations!!! What a great feeling.

14. which career path to take

    nurseadc replied to futurenurseOB's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Slow down and take one thing at a time. Enjoy your family, get your LPN and then your RN. At that time decide about going back to get your BSN. Either way, it will be an interesting ride that you can enjoy, while still seeing your family.

15. Pregnant and Worried New Nurse

    nurseadc replied to Wobbles's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a firm believer in, "what is meant to be, will be." Keep your head up and things will work out. This is a true blessing for you and your family.
