  1. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    callinshotz replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    As I have stated repeatedly I'm just starting the race. I have stated that I only speak on what I've observed and what other APRNs have spoken out about the programs. There are a number of great NP...

  2. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    callinshotz replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    I said the exact same thing but it didn't post. The problem isn't with the amount furthering their education or lack of experience. It seems like the problem lies with the quality of the programs and...

  3. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    callinshotz replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I don't know what I don't know. All I've observed is not all nurses who say they are stepping away from bedside for APRN are actually doing it. The numbers say it's not as serious as nurses on...

  4. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    callinshotz replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, why is this even a topic for discussion. I am a perspective nurse so I don't know what I don't know. However, isn't there over 2.5 million nurses and a couple 100,000 NPs? Now...

    callinshotz replied to kicker0927's topic in General Nursing

  9. I don't like nursing anymore. What should I do?

    callinshotz replied to kicker0927's topic in General Nursing

    When you find that career, let us know how you like it. Earning over $100,000 outside of healthcare? Say goodbye to sleeping. Go into finance. Actuary

  10. Tired of job hunting & getting no where!!!!!

    callinshotz replied to RN-Que's topic in General Nursing

    You want to take what you can get until you get to a point where you can get what you want to take. Get somewhere and sit down. Once you get about a year in start looking

  11. I quit the PA rat race.

    callinshotz replied to Non Sequitir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do what you love AND what works best for your family. You have to make sure that the amount of sacrifice you be your family will endure will be worth it. I was headed towards a similar path but in the...

  12. I quit the PA rat race.

    callinshotz replied to Non Sequitir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's almost as if I wrote it myself. I feel the same way. Instead of killing myself, trying to compete with these people who can pull all-nighters 5 days a week and give up the next decade, I made a...

  16. Financial survival and Accelerated BSN...thoughts?

    callinshotz replied to Free_bird_J89's topic in General Students

    I am a little confused with reimbursement. Most hospitals will reimburse your loans. That is considered personal tuition. I think you should read your hospital's tuition reimbursement policy. In the...

  17. Should i even go back to nursing again?

    callinshotz replied to Lannister123's topic in Nursing Career

    Honestly, this isn't really a matter of OP not being able to decide on nursing. No offense but if you can't get through the first semester of nursing school, RT isn't going to be much easier. And...

  18. Should i even go back to nursing again?

    callinshotz replied to Lannister123's topic in Nursing Career

    When you took the exams, was the problem that you saw the answer somewhere but couldn't recall it? Did it look like stuff you never studied before? It's fine to try again but make sure this next shot,...

    callinshotz replied to injured1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    callinshotz replied to mooreo7611's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of the school I have looked into here in Texas only look at prereq GPA. You could have a 2.0 overall but a 3.8 prereq GPA and get in. Only thing to consider is study habits. You aren't studying...
