Any pointers for this? What should I look for to determine academic rigor? Thanks :)

Do you mind sharing how you were able to work and do the ADN program? I'm always looking to hear stories like that for inspiration and encouragement.

Hi all. Ive just been accepted into an RN program (go me, go me) and I start 6 months of prereqs in January. I wanna go ahead and start familiarizing myself with, especially A&P, amd everyone says "learn it, dont just memorize it" but I dont...

I hope I have that problem. lol. Ive taken all but 2 pre reqs but Im still gonna have to take 18 hours. I hope its stuff I can pass easily.

Did anyone do prereqs at Mt Olive for Watts? Id like to get a look at your A&P and math books if you still have them.

Thank you so much. That was vert helpful!

I think its a great idea to start studying beforehand. I don't start my pre reqs until January but I plan to go over math and a&p now so that I will at least have heard the material. I found a GREAT YouTube account for Mandi Parker. Shes got some...

Get a critical thinking book. Everyone says dont just memorize but learn... I had no idea the difference until i saw a post elsewhere suggesting Critical Thinkomg for Dummies. I just saw it today but i think itll help Also, google VARK QUIZ to deter...

Ive often wondered why theres no specialty residemcy tract based on your desired specialty. Unless i just hadnt found it.

Hi all! I have forsaken the point system at my area community colleges and applied to Watts School of Nursing! But I have a question...HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GONNA PAY FOR THIS?!?!? Ive got two kids to raise and I cant move back home with my parents b...

Well im coming to find you! lol. In my experience, maybe it was because I was just family of a patient but the younger nurses, Id say 30 and under from just their looks, were super helpful. As a matter of fact, my grandmas back int he hospital and I ...

Oh I know no one was trying to be intentionally hurtful but I think I just took it way harder because nursing is my dream. But I could not agree with you more!!!I was prepared to take out 100k in loans and way it back $1 at the time if I had to becau...

Thanks so much for reaching back out. I know what im going to do but at this point im not going to share it. Not pointing the finger at you or anyone else but i thoight i find support here as opposed to a bunch of "you need to"'s. For that reason i...

Thanks hun. I appreciate it but i think i should have kept my question to myself. Lol. I had formulated a plan to grt my rn, enroll in an rn to msn program and at that point determine if i want to pursue a dnp. Im 36 and have done my research so i...

PREACH!!!! My dad and grandmother recently spent pretty lengthy stays in the hospital/rehab facility. Once some of the younger nurses found out I wanted to be a nurse, they were very open to teaching me, explaining to me what they were doing, even le...

You made a reference to something I said so Ill further explain. For me, its not about not being "bothered" to care for patients, its more about how I can best care for a patient. I never said that I would not work in either of the roles I named, rat...

I owe you my children for this website!!!

Im super late to the party but try straightanursingstudent.com and mednotes.nrt

Ok, so this applies to me. As part of my RN prereqs, I had to become a CNA. I caught so much heck because I didnt make it a secret that I didnt want to work as a CNA or in long term care or on a unit at a hospital. My passion has always been to impac...

LTC is super hard on you. I did a CNA rotation there in school and I all but hated it. People told me that I wouldn't be successful as an RN but I didn't want to work in a LTC. Im sitting there thinking "how ignorant can you be?"

Congrats hunny!!!! How long did it take you?

Ok, can i get it too?. Lol mrssclinton@gmail

Thanks darling. I dont think im goin back to school. I appreciate your response.

Thanks darling. Not sure if im going back to school.
