Pre Nursing Student Questions!!!!

Jill.Y · Nov 8, 2011

hello everyone,
i am currently working on my pre-reqs to enter nursing school (almost done).
ive began studying for the net. are there any websites that i can go to for study guides?
i need some input from you guys because the advisors that i have spoken to are minimal help!
is there anything i should be doing to prepare for entry to nursing school????
im going for nurse of anesthesia, is it a good idea to do rn-bsn?

i would take it one step at a time. focus on your pre-reqs the most, but keep in mind the things you have to do for the nursing applications. for example, looking into the nurse entrance test is a good idea because you do have to schedule that ahead of time, and if you feel like you want to take it again, there is a time limit before you can register again. most schools i've looked into require you to take the teas v, although i would check with the school in case they want you to take a different test. if they do want you to take the teas v exam, though, you can go to atitesting.com. you'll have to purchase study guides and practice tests, but they do come in handy, at least i thought so.

i was also debating between becoming a nurse practitioner or nurse anesthetist. i'd think it would be easier to go straight to your bsn, and then apply for graduate school for nurse anesthesia. i think it would be easier than going to school to be an rn, and then transitioning to get your bsn, and then going for your masters. that's just my opinion, though. i'm not sure exactly how it would work if you did do rn first. i'd definitely ask maybe someone else in th nursing dept. other than your advisor if he/she hasn't been helping very much. maybe ask the dept. head. hope it helps!
