1. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

   Dadof2RN2Be replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I don't think she was talking about how difficult it was, more that it's super annoying to see a list of required classes prior to applying to the program only to find out that list is twice as long...

2. Workaholics - Trouble Delegating

   Dadof2RN2Be replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   This is a great article, and one reason why medical staff get burned out so quickly and even injured. The medical field is one of the biggest team centered professions out there, and it's very...

   Dadof2RN2Be replied to tpnurse95's topic in Emergency

   First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! You've done it! Now onto the meat of the questions/comments. I am not a nurse, however I am a Critical Care Tech in the ER here locally, and have to agree that this is...

4. Working as a Medical Assistant while going to nursing school?

   Dadof2RN2Be replied to Venusx30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I don't know about experience in the medical field being required, but it definitely is not a bad idea. I know with my local community college, it's super competitive to get into. They have created a...

6. Doctor upset by charting

   Dadof2RN2Be replied to LalaRN9000's topic in General Nursing

   I think quoting and accurately charting any situation is important. But we must make sure we are doing it within reason, and not quoting every single thing. I think we need to also remember that the...

7. Lets Be Friends

   Dadof2RN2Be replied to ashley_bird's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   This is such a great mindset to have, and almost required. I like to believe that while a little doubt is healthy, don't let yourself feel defeated ever! One day at a time, one test, one lab, one...

   Youngman, it's encouraging for professionals who have been here to reflect back on their journey to where they are. Good luck on your journey to your FNP! I wish to be on the track when the time and...

   Dadof2RN2Be replied to ashley_bird's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Ashley, It's exciting to know that there are others out in the same position as myself. I was 3 classes away from completing my Bachelors in Criminal Justice when I was laid off and forced to make...

10. Pre-nursing classes

    Dadof2RN2Be replied to RebeccaMichelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is interesting nonetheless, but doesn't surprise me in the differences between programs/states even countries. At my local 2 year college Montana State University - Great Falls those classes are...

11. confused undergrad student

    Dadof2RN2Be replied to jojo97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are several different degree options for nurses. I'll start with the lower level, and go up in terms of education required. ADN/ASN is a two year degree that upon successful completion of allows...

12. Pre-nursing classes

    Dadof2RN2Be replied to RebeccaMichelle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my short experience, those types of classes are only "required" for the BSN programs. At least here in Montana. The local ADN program does not require them, but if taken they do give the applicant...

13. How old were you

    Dadof2RN2Be replied to Jmpickett044's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely not old at all! I will be 28 when I finished my pre-req's (pending acceptance of course). One of the many reasons why I chose nursing after a few years was because of a nurse who switched...
