  1. How many hours a day do you study?

    AspiringNurse0223 posted a topic in General Students

    Will be applying for a 2 year accelerated nursing program and I've heard some pretty scary things. Like people being accepted with a 4.0 but then barely passing etc which is freaking me out especially...

  2. How to do amazing in nursing school?

    AspiringNurse0223 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, I just finished a 5 year bachelor's degree at a top university and will be applying for an accelerated (2 year) BSN program. I have heard all of the horror stories of nursing school, and...

  3. Why did you become a nurse?

    AspiringNurse0223 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm in pre-nursing and I decided to do a BSN because I love learning about different diseases/conditions, physiology, and patho :) I hope to become an NP. I know it sounds super selfish, but I didn't...

  4. What Can I Do With A BSN? (Without a license).

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to Chloe Price's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of people are saying that a BSN is useless without getting your liscence. However, I disagree. You can definitely be involved in research without a liscence or any field that requires a...

  5. Doing Checked off Clinical skills at home?

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to curlybirdie's topic in General Students

    Many times, nurses or doctors show family members how to treat their loved ones at home (such as in the case you mentioned). If you were not in nursing school, they would probably teach another family...

  6. How many hours a day do you study?

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to AspiringNurse0223's topic in General Students

    Where I live, an "A" range is 80%+, but I understand that a B range for some places is 80-90. So what would an "A" and a "B" be for

  7. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    I'm not allowed to have an opinion? In NO WAY did I comment on the quality of education in nursing programs between different schools. I was merely pointing out how many of these schools provide...

  8. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    Why would that matter, though? I have several friends that go to multiple different nursing schools. But my point wasn't necessarily that the "prestigiousness" (probably not even a word lol) probably...

  9. "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    I go to a "prestige" school and this "prestige" is noticed by ultimately everyone in the country. It is due to both the difficulty of the courses and the extensive medical research that takes place....

  12. Should I still do nursing?

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to shayjulia's topic in General Students

    Good suggestion, but assuming OP lives in Canada, Canada (or at least Ontario) doesn't have any CNAs. We have PSWs (Personal Support Workers) but they are quite different from a nurse's aid. They...

  13. Should I still do nursing?

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to shayjulia's topic in General Students

    You can upgrade those marks through correspondence then apply to Ryerson's program. I have taken a course through ILC (ilc.org) and liked it. It stands for the Independent Learning Centre and it's an...

  16. Is nursing a good career choice? I've heard so many horror stories!

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to Raven1994's topic in Canada

    I love epi but I think what I want to do most is get an MSN to become an NP. Just worried about getting a high GPA in nursing school in order to get into a Masters. I have great study habits as...

    AspiringNurse0223 replied to olhiggins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No problem! Also, you should try applying to some child life specialist jobs right now. With your degree, you stand a good shot. I know it can be competitive. At the children's hospital I worked at,...
