General advice is only to take on as much student debt as you will make your FIRST year working out of college. If you're going out of state anyway, apply for out of state ADN programs at community colleges and just go wherever you get in. It will b...

I transferred semester credits to a quarter system. I actually received 4.5 credits for 3 credit classes. The only issue I would see happening is if it were transferring in the opposite direction. You should be fine!

I'm probably worried for no reason, but it's something that is stressing me out about nursing school. Last year, I met a guy in my nursing pre reqs. He made moves and we started casually dating. I had very strong feelings for him that he ended up jus...

Thank you both for the insight. I've obviously never done nursing clinicals before (I did do CNA clinicals, and we were a very small group and had to work together a lot, but it seems like this will be different). that put my mind at ease for sure.

You say minimal side-effects? I work in the ED in Oregon where it is legal. We get cyclic vomiters coming in constantly (there is at least one every night, many per week) who are literally only vomiting from smoking weed. Doctors discharge orders are...

I don't have to read the whole post to answer your question. Don't do it!!!

Only you can say for sure. However, math and chemistry are pretty important to nursing. Maybe try an ADN program that allows you to retake pre requisites. When you failed your classes, did you seek out tutoring early on? Were you putting real effort ...

If you're going to be advance practice you can pretty much do whatever you want, obviously you would not want anything offensive. I work with doctors and PAs with tattoos, I don't see any reason why a NP couldn't have one. I currently work in a hosp...

Chemistry, because my grade didnt count so I didn't take it as seriously and didn't read the text as much as I should have. I found anatomy incredibly easy, the physiology side of it was a bit more difficult, but mostly because it was a lot of chemi...

Take Chemistry before you take the others. Then take 2 at a time. That's my recommendation.

Check with the BON in the state you plan to move to that you will be allowed to take the NCLEX there after having after having attended that school with that curriculum. Based on what you said this is not a school I would attend. But if the BON appr...

The CNA experience is valuable to have going into your first semester of nursing school. That's really it. I can't speak for everyone but every CNA I know who keeps working during nursing school only does so because they can't afford not to. If you ...

I guess it depends. Do you want to work at that hospital once you finish school? If so, maybe I would stay at least a full year if you haven't already. But really it's up to you. If you leave, make sure you give good notice and do your best on all yo...

Oh and Hank Green has an anatomy and physiology YouTube series that's pretty good.

Wow if the professor is advising you not to get the text they're taking away the opportunity to even teach yourself. I got an A in the full sequence of AnP. I went to lecture, read the full chapters assigned, and went to office hours when I didn't g...

Did you try...reading the textbook?

Chemistry is very useful when you're taking anatomy and physiology, and a little bit when taking microbiology. But just any gen chem should do.

Here's the point system for my community colleges RN program: Prerequisite GPA-up to 40 points Completion of AnP series-5 points Prior degree-1 point Completion of all prerequisites(45 credits)-5 points Proof of current medical certificate or licens...

I would suggest working prior to the beginning of the program so you can be approved for your lease. If it's possible, get your parents to co-sign? It's definitely possible to work, I'm assuming you don't have children which will make it a lot easie...

Hello! I just took my CNA test, and I'll know in a couple of days if I passed. One of my skills was Ambulation of a client using a gait belt. I was so focused on making sure I had an underhand grasp on the gait belt, I can't remember if I did this ...

I passed both the skill and exam! I got a 100% on the skill in question LOL

I passed guys í ½í¸…

If you have all of your prerequisites done and can get into the community college program, I would do that. You have all your life to be a nurse, and a gap year is nothing compared to the financial hardship you might find if you take out excessive lo...

My general advice for people is to stop using drugs the moment you decide you want to be a nurse.
