  1. BSN straight to NP or gain work experience

    AMEN.
  2. During pre requisites

    This depends on your school! One of the schools I got accepted to, started nursing courses during their 1st
  3. BSN straight to NP or gain work experience

    The key word in your argument is "EXPERIENCED RN". A brand new NP that goes straight through school and finishes at age 23-24, will make money then you do at 40. End of
  4. Prerequisite courses

    I would take general biology, statistics, english and introductory
  5. BSN straight to NP or gain work experience

    Straight to NP.
  6. Pharm., Fundamentals, and 2 sciences

    I once took fundamentals, anatomy and physiology, child development and an english class in one semester. I studied roughly 4-5 hours a day that semester. But that was NOTHING compared to when i took...
  7. Nursing School Requiring a 85% test average?

    85 is a really high bar to set.. Sounds like a weed out class to
  8. Not a CNA, LPN, CMA, etc.

    Are you talking to me? If you have any questions just
  9. Not a CNA, LPN, CMA, etc.

    I went into nursing school straight out of high school, and did not obtain my CNA. My first couple of clinical days were a learning experience because I had to learn how to do simple things like take...
  10. You can do either one. When choosing a school, consider their NCLEX pass rates and cost. Going straight to BSN would probably be faster
  11. Am I On The Right Path?

    There are no nursing schools that have a "critical care specialty". When youre in nursing school, you go through different rotations (pediatrics, OB, med/surg.. and so on). Once you graduate from...
  12. Concerns About Courseload While Working Full-Time

    If those are the only 2 classes you would take in a semester, then I would go for it. Just make sure you manage your time
  13. Specialization: When to Decide?

    I think youre looking too far into this. This isnt med school where you have to choose a specialization DURING your schooling. I would advise you to just get through school, and see which specialty...
  14. I honestly did. The biggest deterrent was that med school just takes sooo long to complete. Now, on the path Im going on, I will be a nurse at 20 and a nurse practitioner at around
  15. Can I still become a nurse with a low GPA?

    Are you willing to relocate? I know a school that would 100% accept

    Oh please.. You obviously
  18. I got in!

    The number 1 piece of advice I can give you, is to STOP listening to what other people say. Your post is just filled with what OTHER people are saying. Focus on yourself. Yes, nursing school is HARD...
  19. Didn't do to hot on my first exam.

    It is a bad start.. But theres nothing you can really do at this point unless you decide to withdraw from the class and take it again next semester. Just keep your head up and study harder for the...
  20. Military Wife- ADN Schools

    Getting your ADN will take AT LEAST 2 years. No such thing as a quick
  21. Hello, Incoming freshman for fall

    That sounds like a normal schedule, though Im not quite sure what "critical inquiry" is. Recitation is a smaller version of your class, where you get the opportunity to go over the material again and...
  22. Straight to FNP

    Go for your FNP right away. Think about all the extra money you would be making if you just jump straight in. Sure, experience is valuable but at the end of the day, the responsibilities of a NP vs a...
  23. Learning Sign Language?

    I mean it certainly wouldn't hurt you.. However learning a new language is a huge time commitment.. And time is precious in nursing
  24. Help for the Hesi leadership and management exam

    Keep doing what youre doing.. Questions are a great way to grasp the material. It will all be over
  25. Why dont you look at other schools in your area? Or become an lpn
