  1. Acceptance of ABSN

    Lipoma replied to Mdyshaik786's topic in Nursing Career

    From my understanding an ABSN is accepted everywhere in the USA. An accelerated BSN is no different than a traditional BSN since both are accredited by a national accrediting nursing board. An...

  2. PCT vs. Imaging Tech

    Lipoma replied to cristinam96's topic in General Students

    Having worked as a CT Tech Aide (Radiology Aide or Imaging Tech) I can tell you that the job was really repetitive and offered very limited opportunities. I was responsible for transporting,...

  3. Patient fall with injury who is at fault?

    Lipoma replied to RN-2017's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    No one is at fault except the patient. As a former nursing assistant, I find it troubling that a fellow co-worker is ready to put blame on the aide/assistant during fall injuries instead of focusing...

  4. Aesthetic Registered Nurse Salary

    Lipoma replied to Cosmetic RN's topic in Aesthetics

    Registered nurse first

  5. Laptop or pen & paper during nursing school?

    Lipoma replied to Néa archí's topic in General Students

    My program requires everyone to have an iPad. I will be printing out every slide to take notes so I can focus on the lecturer. I'll also be recording it so I can review it in case I missed something...

  6. W on Microbiology, Do I Still Have A Chance?

    Lipoma replied to purpleapple428's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I applied to 1 and only 1 ABSN program I had 2 Ws (1 in Gen Bio II and 1 in Gen Chem I lecture). I start nursing school in 34 days

  7. What makes someone a good candidate for a direct entry msn program?

    Lipoma replied to sunny2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When I was looking at Direct Entry MSN programs many of them emphasized having an overall GPA and pre-req GPA (3.5+) make you a competitive applicant . However, after I thought about it, I opted for a...

  8. A&P I Issues

    Lipoma replied to EverConfused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A withdrawal (W) from the course looks way better than anything below a C in a pre-requisite course. A (W) will save your GPA, your time and effort. Too bad the withdraw date has already passed. Your...

  9. Crazy to leave this job?

    Lipoma replied to snickers17's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I left a job after 5 months because I was offered a better opportunity, better pay, and a better scope elsewhere. Don't forget that if an employer wants to terminate you, they wouldn't think twice...

  10. What was your Entry-level Medical assistant salary/hourly wage?

    Lipoma replied to alexandraalwine's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Urgent care 16.50/hr with no former MA training or experience. Pay increased to 17/hr at my annual

  11. For male students, has anyone ever laughed or dissed for pursuing nursing

    Lipoma replied to Big_Mike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nope. All of my friends are supportive and even my coworkers are sad that I will be leaving to further my education. I have many male colleagues who are nurses. My family is very supportive. In...

  12. Dropping class with "W?"

    Lipoma replied to murse2134's topic in General Students

    I have 2 Ws on my transcript, applied to 1 ABSN program and got in on my first try. BTW both Ws were in Bio II and Chem I lecture. Save those Ws for a raining semester lol. You'll honestly be

  13. So excited to start nursing school! How to prepare this summer?

    Lipoma replied to dancergirl27's topic in General Students

    I start my ABSN program in 38 days and I'm doing no form of studying. I'm working, spending time with friends, blowing off steam here and there in the gym. I will be doing as much studying once I...

  14. Taking both General Biology & General Chemistry

    Lipoma replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, none of them prepared me for A&P I/II. A&P is a beast of its own. A&P I quickly brushed up on Bio I topics like cell structure and their individual purpose before quickly moving...

  15. Could what I wear outside of work be a fireable offence?

    Lipoma replied to browneyed_girlie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I am always curious as to why I see so many posts in regards to new nurses or nurses overall being so worried about what their employers may think when they are clocked out and off the clock and...

  16. Reinventing Me!!

    Lipoma replied to AnRNgie162's topic in General Students

    We start at the same time haha. Good luck to

  17. Littmann Classic II or Classic III?

    Lipoma replied to Nursing student75's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have the II and it survived EMT class 2 years ago and have been working as an MA since then. I plan on using it throughout my nursing program and potentially my nursing career unless I decide to...

  18. Working and school

    Lipoma replied to missikai's topic in General Students

    I will be attending an accelerated 12 months BSN program this fall and I will be working either 1 12 hour shift OR 1 9 hour shift during the week. Although I will be taking out school loans I NEED to...

  19. Medical assistant specialty

    Lipoma replied to Mercades's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't think for entry level positions (such as CNAs or MAs) you get paid per specialty....I think it's more about level of

  20. Would you take a pay cut to be a CNA?

    Lipoma replied to shycat's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I worked as a nursing assistant making 13/hr....got hired to work as a MA and get paid 17/hr so nope. I would not take a pay cut for a reduced scope of practice. I honestly feel like my current MA...

  21. No luck with work experience

    Lipoma replied to RSP.SN's topic in General Students

    I empathize with you because even after being EMT certified it took a long 7 months to get a hospital job. I did not know anyone at the hospital so I applied and hoped for the best. You only need one...

  22. SOS!! Got an Orlando Health interview for full time night shift at the ER.

    Lipoma replied to Futurenurse.'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    First...breathe. Second, sell yourself. Focus on your strengths and make it clear that you're coming in with a set of skills that will allow you to perform well and work collaboratively on a health...

  23. Urgent Care Nursing, What's it Like?

    Lipoma replied to Amber307's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I currently work in UC as a MA in Boston and relocating to philly for nursing school. I really enjoy working in UC wish to return to this specialty once I finish with nursing school. In my current...

  24. Help!, I'm obsessing over a 4.0

    Lipoma replied to Natasha_mer24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it makes you feel any better, I was accepted into nursing school on my first try with a 3.5 GPA. This school does not require TEAS or any other entrance exam. Take it easy...whether you get a 4.0...

  25. How competitive are post-bacc nursing programs these days?

    Lipoma replied to cbxo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was recently accepted into an accelerated program that has two cohorts enroll each year. 1st campus enrolls 150 students out of 600 applications. 2nd campus enrolls 25 students out of ~200...
