  1. Woman posing as a nurse for months

    KaTStudentNurse posted a topic in Nursing News

    I found this article very interesting of a woman posing to be a nurse with a master degree and even had the audacity to teach her 'non-skills' to students in a nursing program. She was finally caught...

  2. This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    KaTStudentNurse posted a topic in General Students

    I will be starting nursing school in August and I just received my book list. I need to purchase 10 books for only 4 classes that will cost me $500+ and it says all of the books are "required latest...

  3. State or private college

    KaTStudentNurse replied to REDFX4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please don't go the private school route, your debt to income ratio will be ridiculous and I'm sure you do not want that type of financial burden hanging over your family. Those type of private for...

  4. How many weeks are clinicals usually

    KaTStudentNurse replied to Enoch82's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not trying to sound cold hearted, but is there any chance you could reschedule the honeymoon after 1 st semester has ended? There's your break right there and you wouldn't have to be worried about...

  5. This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to KaTStudentNurse's topic in General Students

    Actually my school has this "board post" for future students and present students to speak with one another and asks questions and such. Many on there are selling text books but I've notice their book...

  8. This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to KaTStudentNurse's topic in General Students

    Haha, actually they do require a specific laptop which, fortunately, I already purchased months ago for $250 after receiving %50 off for it since it is sponsored with my

  9. Will I be able to do clinicals with a 7 year old misdemeanor?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to Mataylie's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    My school let some people in with some criminal backgrounds but ultimately it's up to the clinical site on whether they want to accept these

  10. Will I be able to do clinicals with a 7 year old misdemeanor?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to Mataylie's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would definitely contact your school and find out because each school is structured differently. And speak to the dean of your department if you have

  11. Will becoming a CNA help me get in to nursing school?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to alison86786's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe it depends for every school on what they may consider but it still won't hurt to become a CNA and gain some healthcare experience for when you officially become a

  12. Am I Out of Luck?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to peachshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you want to be a RN or an LPN? If you want to be a RN then you should take the chance and apply for admission into an ADN program. Since there's no reason to settle for less than your intended...

    KaTStudentNurse posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi everyone! I'm a student nurse and is curious of what's it like to work in the ED? Are there a lot of patients you need to attend to in your shift? Are you forced to stay overtime if you get a new...

  14. Pre-nursing advice?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to Perspective17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some suggestions: you can bring it up to 2.5 ( though I recommend to bring it up to at least a 2.75) then apply all around the U.S that meet your requirements and you may even have to go for the...

  15. LVN Before RN school?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to lamadredezoey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely go for your RN if it's truly what you want to be. Its obviously the main goal of yours so why not go straight for it? I say this in almost every post I see like this that I chose to be an...

  16. Rasmussen University, Here I come!

    KaTStudentNurse replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah, having 50,000 in student loan is obviously hard to swallow but it is still very common and people do get through. All my friends in college will be at least 30k in debt because nursing school is...

  17. How many credit hours did you take during summer in accelerated program?

    KaTStudentNurse posted a topic in General Students

    For the people who are in accelerated nursing programs, how many credit hours do you take during the summer and how do you manage the courseload? The program I will be attending in the fall is a BSN...

  18. Rasmussen University, Here I come!

    KaTStudentNurse replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in School, College Programs

    I may be the minority here, but I think going in some debt for a stable career is not the worst thing in the world. U.S higher education is not cheap but yet in this day and age going to college and...

    Good to know, so those two will be my first priority in purchasing

  20. This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to KaTStudentNurse's topic in General Students

    Lucky, this book list states its only for 1st semester and we will be receiving a book list before every start of the semester

  21. This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to KaTStudentNurse's topic in General Students

    That was just a brief estimate but after going back and truly calculating the price it will cost me $894 if this price doesn't fluctuate when it gets closer to

  22. LPN(already accepted) or RN?

    KaTStudentNurse replied to Sdongoske's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going for my RN, and I gave up the opportunity for going for my LPN even when my family and college counselor told me not to. If I went for my LPN I would have wasted a year of not being able to...

  24. Difference between RN and CNA healthcare provider with AHA?

    KaTStudentNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is a very ignorant question but my nursing program requires us to get a CPR card from the American Heart Association. On the website it list the courses instructed by a CNA or RN. I have one...
