2. "You Have to Get a BSN by 2020..."

   kalyani posted a topic in ADN/BSN

   So, just about every hospital I know of is asking their diploma RN's to get a BSN "by 2020". When I ask for clarification of this, I am met with a blank stare, including my manager. I work nights, but eventually I will need to stay awake after my sh...

3. RN or BSN? Help!

   kalyani replied to amymatey's topic in General Students

   There are pros and cons for each. If you have a BS in Biology, you are probably really close to fulfilling your BSN requirements (pre and co requisites) and it's' possible you could be done in 2-3 years. An ADN will take at least 2 years, then anothe...

4. Nursing isn't what I thought it'd be...any advice?

   kalyani replied to dazed&confused1129's topic in General Students

   Hi there! I think it takes a lot of courage and maturity to ask yourself if you are cut out to be a nurse! And yes, early on, you may have to take whatever job you can find in order to get experience, which may involve doing things that are unpleasan...

5. Any mothers who are nursing students? How hard is it to balance the two?

   kalyani replied to christina94's topic in General Students

   I've seen LOTS of women in my class who are mothers do it, so it can be done! Not sure how they pull it off, but anything is possible if it's what you really want. Good luck!

6. Withdraw from Nursing I? Need advice!!!

   kalyani replied to kalyani's topic in General Students

   Well, I've decided to stay put where I am, and stick to my original plan to get my RN and get the BSN later on. However, lesson learned! Any pre-nursing students out there, don't enter into program just because it's inexpensive and seems convenient! ...

   Ooops!

8. Trick Test

   kalyani replied to bols27's topic in General Students

   Wow, bols27, I feel like I'm having an identical experience to yours! But, I've come to realize, my school is just underfunded and understaffed, and maybe that is where the problem truly lies. I too received my bachelor's degree from a reputable Un...

9. Trick Test

   kalyani replied to bols27's topic in General Students

   Wow, it sounds like you are going to my school! Something similar happened to me. My school leaves us in the dark about everything. The handouts tell us to read the wrong chapters and the study guides have wrong answers on them, etc. And like you, ...

    Yes, that thought has crossed my mind that the "grass is not always greener".

11. Withdraw from Nursing I? Need advice!!!

    kalyani posted a topic in General Students

    So, I've been in Nursing School (NUR 101) for over a month now. I have to say, 90% of the people I spoke to about this school before I applied had nothing nice to say about it. I applied anyway, because it's in my county and so inexpensive as a re...

    kalyani replied to sussexgirl's topic in New Jersey

    Hey Cupcakestar! I'm glad you've heard a lot of good things from other people. That's hopeful! Yes, what we had to do with the SLM, I've heard other schools actually have a class for that and you don't have to learn it at home on your own. But, I g...

    kalyani replied to sussexgirl's topic in New Jersey

    As far as the content, it does seem like we will be well prepared at the end for the NCLEX. It is TRUE that PCCC students have a good reputation in the Hospitals around here and they get hired, on average, within 6 months of graduation. The NCLEX p...

    Oh, PS...I did by a 3 ring notebook and a hole-puncher with dividers. I put the calendar, exam schedule, and contact numbers (which I will probably never use again lol) in the front, and I'm just printing out the stuff that "seems" to correspond wit...
