  1. How long are accelerated nursing programs in the U.S.?

    Raven1994 posted a topic in General Students

    I am from Canada and our accelerated BSN programs are 2 years. Sometimes they are 2 consecutive years (no break) and other times there may be like one 3 month break (so 18 months total). I am just...

    Raven1994 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I am a pre-nursing student that is just about to graduate from my first bachelor's degree. During my undergrad I was fortunate to have participated on multiple research projects. A paper that I...

  3. I just failed out ! HELP !

    Raven1994 replied to Sola8729's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    WHY did you fail for the second time, though? Ask yourself this question and dig deep to discover the exact reasons that lead you to fail. Before you think about applying somewhere else, make sure you...

  4. Will having a BA hurt being hired as an LPN?

    Raven1994 replied to Larrin42's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No. If anything, it will expand your opportunities. Having both a BA and an LPN could make you qualified to pursue healthcare research or more "behind the scenes" work in healthcare

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

    Raven1994 replied to Raven1994's topic in Canada

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

    Raven1994 posted a topic in Canada

    I am a long-time lurker on these forums but just created an account. I just graduated with a BA in Health Science. For the longest time I've been switched back and forth between an MPH in epidemiology...

  7. Thoughts on 1st semester.

    Raven1994 replied to silkygold's topic in General Students

    Are you in an accelerated program? An LPN? A 4-year

  8. NEED HELP! I want to become a Nurse.

    Raven1994 replied to sauce'dough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh sorry, yeah should have been more clear. I mean I am torn between pursuing EITHER an MPH or a BSN (not both). I mean, I may pursue both eventually who knows. But I meant right now I am going to...

  9. Low GPA? Very discouraged

    Raven1994 replied to itsdee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on what you define as "low" and if the school requires any supplementary application (i.e., experience, resume). If your GPA is below the minimum cutoff they will not look at your application....

  10. NEED HELP! I want to become a Nurse.

    Raven1994 replied to sauce'dough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In order to be a nurse, you need to have a BSN/ADN (Although I STRONGLY recommend going right for the BSN). But do you want to get another degree ontop of the BSN? Then maybe get a degree that can...

  11. Help! So confused and frustrated! To nurse or not to nurse?

    Raven1994 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I will keep this short and simple. I will graduate university next month (BA) with a good GPA. Throughout university I've wanted to get an MPH (Masters Public Health) afterwards. So I have been...

  12. Should I try nursing again?

    Raven1994 replied to Aekju46's topic in General Nursing

    If you think you've identified the issues, and are sure you will succeed the next time around and this is really what you're passionate about, then by all means give it another go! But only if you're...

  13. as an international student, what is the cheapest way for me to study and become a nurse?

    Raven1994 replied to sexypizza's topic in Nurse Registration

    It's expensive if you study in another country. In Canada, international students pay about 30, 000 dollars a year for tuition. Colleges are less expensive, but international students would still pay...

  14. Accredited vs not accredited programs?

    Raven1994 replied to ilyphant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Non-accredited institutions are often not recognized by employers or subsequent educational institutions (ie if you're applying for a bachelor's or a master's/PhD). So if you go to a non-accredited...

  15. Advice for Biology Graduate

    Raven1994 replied to kayendel89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only issue with a PA program is that you have less room for advancement. In the nursing field, there are many further degrees that you can pursue (Masters to become an NP and a doctorate in order...

  16. Which post-secondary that offers A&P 1 can I get into quickly?

    Raven1994 replied to trackrunner29's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    Is this for an accelerated nursing program or something? I know that most people who want to get into an accelerated BSN in Canada who are missing their A&P re-requisite get it online through...

  17. Advice for Biology Graduate

    Raven1994 replied to kayendel89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. Minor Recommendations

    Raven1994 replied to alwaysdreaming's topic in General Students

    Is there any benefit to being a fulltime vs part time? If no, then staying part time would give you a lot of time to focus on the classes that you are taking so you can get a high GPA. But if you...

  19. How do I learn and not just memorize???

    Raven1994 replied to lebelesprit_'s topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    Study it every single day, especially A&P. I had an anatomy course in university (not in a BSN program yet... just a regular science program) a couple semesters ago. We had 2 lab exams and 2...

  20. Should all accelerated nursing programs require a supplemental application?

    Raven1994 posted a topic in General Students

    Almost all of the accelerated nursing programs I look at do not require a supplemental application (i.e., experience, references, statement of purpose, CV etc) and ONLY admit you based on your GPA....

  21. Should all accelerated nursing programs require a supplemental application?

    Raven1994 replied to Raven1994's topic in General Students

    Wow that's great! Very lucky, I wish most of the schools I am applying to did that. I have a good GPA... but It's not like a 3.9 or 4.0 or anything. I have TONS of experience in hospitals (2 hospitals...

  22. How many semesters did you apply to nursing school before being accepted?

    Raven1994 replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. Lower level Anotomy course

    Raven1994 replied to Rasema's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "I didn't even try, lol"... I really hope this isn't my nurse's attitude. Yes, it is very possible to learn a chapter in a week. They wouldn't offer this course (an intro course, mind you) if it...

    Raven1994 replied to Davia's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Raven1994 replied to Jessasaurus27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
