  1. RN to BSN online with learning disability

    shibaowner replied to lovenicole1970's topic in General Students

    It's kind of hard to answer your question w/o knowing your specific disability. 1. You can ask your school for accommodation. This is your right if you have a disability. 2. Depending on how your...

  2. Low on Registration List for Science Prerequisites

    shibaowner replied to RaquelNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    California is tough - the classes are so impacted! When I started my prereqs, I was living in LA, so UCLA was my primary source. However, I also took prereqs from LACC, West LA College, Pierce, and...

  4. Misconceptions in NP/PA/MD education: experiential requirements, online, and for-profits

    shibaowner replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm not sure what you are asking me. Most medical students go straight from college to med school. They do not work as RNs or PAs or CNAs before starting med school. I think that is pretty clear....

  5. Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    shibaowner replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what your response to me is saying. 1. I stated RN experience is not beneficial to a primary care NP and the studies bear this out. Do you have evidence to the contrary specific to...

  6. Graduate Entry Nursing school question

    shibaowner replied to kamododragon's topic in General Students

    Why are you asking us? We are not nursing school admissions officers. You have repeatedly been told to check with the individual schools you are applying to. This information is right on the school...

  7. Girl in my cohort is cheating

    shibaowner replied to KitKat2019's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your professor is not going to tell anyone if you inform them of the cheating. Why do you think you will have a target on your back? Most students do not cheat and do not approve of cheaters. If you...

  8. Graduate Entry Nursing school question

    shibaowner replied to kamododragon's topic in General Students

    What is the MAT? Simply go to the websites of nursing schools you are interested in and review their admissions requirements. Nursing schools look at your overall GPA, but will focus more on your GPA...

  9. Low on Registration List for Science Prerequisites

    shibaowner replied to RaquelNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, you should still try to register. You can also show up the first day of class and see if the professor will hold a lottery to let in a couple of people. I usually got into at least one class...

  10. Clinical instructor feels I'm not competent?

    shibaowner replied to Holopugs's topic in General Students

    To OP: Hope you have received the support you need here! I really feel for you. In my previous post, I forgot to suggest that you see a psychiatrist or psychologist. You need to find out if you do...

    shibaowner replied to shaylee1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    shibaowner replied to kierstennn's topic in California Nursing

    Well, someone is getting jobs in San Diego, so you have to apply! Since you are in Arizona, apply for both a California and AZ RN license. Make sure you physically come to CA and do the livescan for...

  13. Currently ADN, should I have gone for BSN?

    shibaowner replied to futurern118's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You are doing great and have a great plan! Don't let that jerk get to you. There are many NPs who did exactly what you are doing and are now very successful. I know a CRNA who did exactly what you...

  14. ABSN curriculum - am I learning what I should be?

    shibaowner replied to herestohoping's topic in General Students

    You said your school is changing the curriculum to improve NCLEX pass rates, among other things. Therefore, the rest of us can't answer your question usefully - your best bet is to go straight to the...

  15. Clinical instructor feels I'm not competent?

    shibaowner replied to Holopugs's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. I went through the same thing during the ABSN program - kept being told I lacked confidence, which made me feel less confident - a vicious cycle. However, I...

  16. MSN in nursing for people with different bachelors good deal?

    shibaowner replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in General Students

    If you already have a bachelor's degree, either an ABSN or Master's Entry program is reasonable. However, if you are not quite sure what your future nursing career path will be, I'd recommend an...

  17. ABSN curriculum - am I learning what I should be?

    shibaowner replied to herestohoping's topic in General Students

    Why don't you talk to your advisor? They might be able to address your concerns. Or talk to a professor you are on good terms

  18. United States University (USU) FNP

    shibaowner replied to Mrskeene3's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well, I live in San Diego and have never heard of it. This is a for profit school. Why would you want to go here? Apply to reputable public and private non-profit

    shibaowner replied to hadi_zolghadri's topic in General Students

    You can also try using mnemonics - memory devices. Just google pharmacology mnemonics. There is a video series on this site called "Drawing Pharmacology" and the Dr. Guerra has also written a very...

  20. Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    shibaowner replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    1. There are over 100 studies demonstrating NPs provide good quality care, comparable to MDs. 2. I agree MDs have much more education that includes more clinical hours, plus they have an internship...

  22. Misconceptions in NP/PA/MD education: experiential requirements, online, and for-profits

    shibaowner replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Thank you to the OP for starting this discussion. I'd like to point out that MDs do not have to work in healthcare before starting med school. I think that is the better analogy to NPs and

  23. Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    shibaowner replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

  25. Adopting a dog before school?

    shibaowner replied to ColorMeUp's topic in General Students

    I took my dog with me to nursing school and she was a lifesaver! However, she was an adult and well trained. I don't think getting a puppy is a good idea. Puppies simply don't have the bladder...
