So I went to my nursing program orientation yesterday. Clinicals will start in January and I'm excited but some of the guidelines and restrictions seem a bit outrageous. The fee's are ********. But the grading scale seems so odd to me. We were inform...

Today's a bittersweet feeling because I've made up my mind that I do not want to continue on in the Nursing Program. I just completed my first week of classes and I've realized that I don't have the energy or the passion for the profession like I th...

You literally just listed my career goals lol! I know I would love being a case manager and my dream job is to be a travel nurse :)

It takes an arm and a leg to even be accepted into Nursing school but I managed through all of the requirements and pre-reqs but I've always suffered with sever anxiety and now that school is about to start, I'm seriously considering dropping all of ...

Yeah when I was teenager but I honestly don't want to go back on Medication.

I'm in Tri-C's Nursing Program as well!! :) I feel like if you live in Cleveland, or the Northeast Ohio region, you'll be just fine with an Associates degree. You really only need your BSN if you plan to work in a big hospital which NOT all nurses wi...

Thank you! I definitely will get some professional help with my anxiety.

They have those sort of programs at the hospital in our town. They're for students who recently graduated from Nursing School. I'm not sure on the specifics but I had a friend do one and its basically a pathway to gaining employment as a RN in the sa...

Everything the first person stated was pretty much the same thing I was going to say. Your best bet to try and get accepted would be to retake some of the classes to raise that GPA. However, another alternative would be to apply for an LPN program, t...

I think you should give it another try. Not all Nursing Schools are as selective as the one in California. Just based on your pre-reqs alone, you could easily get into an ADN program where I live. The cost issue might not be so negotiable , I know th...

Prior to beginning Nursing Pre-reqs, I did a majority of my courses online and it worked for me especially since I work full-time but, in our school, if you're taking any Math or Science courses, you have to take the exams on campus. I've also heard ...

I passed the class with a B and I've never felt more relieved. After taking the class I realized that the material itself wasn't that difficult but its the amount of material that you have to learn that's difficult. You have to understand one thing t...

lol why on Earth would you wanna retake A&P I if you didn't fail it

I don't get why everyone is giving off negative vibes. If you didn't have a solution to offer, why take our time to comment? Anyways..have you considered a job that could utilize your degree but be outside of a healthcare setting? Maybe you can start...

I completely understand what your going through, Tomorrow is my last day of A&P I and by the grace of God, I will be passing. I feel like if you already made it through A&P I and II, You should try retaking 2 since you already understand what...

Its a requirement by all Nursing Programs that you be vaccinated prior to beginning clinical rotations. Without the vaccines, you will be unable to begin the clinical portion of the program. The typical vaccines include: DPT, MMR, Polio, Hepatitis B,...

I'm not a nurse but I'm currently a nursing student. Nursing has a very broad field of careers so its really up to you to decide rather or not you want to work as a nurse where it entails wiping behinds. From my experience as a patient in a hospital,...

I think you should continue to pursue Nursing, the schooling is the toughest part but if you made it all the way to your senior year, that says a lot! Some people flunk out in the first semester. I

Unfortunately, most BSN Programs require those pre-reqs (A&PI and II, Chemistry and Microbiology) to be done before applying. Yes, it will delay your plans but thats okay, your mental health is first priority. You can still apply to get into a U...

I agree with the previous poster, some schools do require you to test on A&P or Chemistry as well, and you might need much more time to study since those subjects are more complex. My school only tests on Reading, Grammar, and Math, and I studied...

Its very common for students to work in Nursing School especially since a majority of them have families, so they've been working prior to starting a program. I currently work 40 hours a week and my hours are very flexible but I was lucky enough to f...

I say go for it. Majority of the students in my Nursing classes are in their late 30s or 40s. Age is just a number, don't let it hold you back!

I'm probably not the most qualified to answer this question because I'm single and I'm 22. However, I work fulltime and it can be quite a struggle but its doable for sure. Most of my classes are in the evening or online and a majority of my classmate...

B) Nurses in their 50s are going to be retiring soon? I and plenty of other nurses I know are in our 60s and have no plans to retire any time soon. Thats fine but I highly doubt a majority of Nurses in their 60s and 70s will still be working unless...

Well I do think some schools advertise that there is a shortage just for the sake of advertisement but I truly do believe in SOME states their are shortages. I live in Ohio, and their has been a shortage for about 2 years now. If you notice, a lot of...
