    Dismissal from nursing school without failing any course

    Neo Soldier replied to Beebee18's topic in General Students

    I truly loathe people like you! I don't agree with the poster at all, but what you've written here is full of hate. Are you honestly trying to downplay what African Americans go through by lumping...

    Medical Assistant or Straight to BSN?

    Neo Soldier replied to FlowerAD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The MA doesn't get you closer to your nursing goals and I don't think the certificate comes cheap. I'm in my mid twenties too and I'm dying for my independence so I totally understand. But here's the...

    Prereq question

    Neo Soldier replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest you take what you need for the ADN and if you can squeeze in some BSN classes, do it! I just wouldn't recommend you sitting out a semester in favor of taking a class/classes for your...

    Prereq question

    Neo Soldier replied to FutureNurseWard's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting a BSN first will mean it will take you some more time before you become an RN. If you get into an ADN program, you may save yourself a year. BSN programs take 2.5 - 3 years to complete while...

    Can I become a nurse if I'm not great at math?

    Neo Soldier replied to dolphincatch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you took chemistry, then you have all the math you need. It's really just dimensional analysis. I am terrible at math and I graduated from nursing

    ADN? BSN? ABSN?

    Neo Soldier replied to longtimereader's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can't afford school, community college is a good option. You should work on your GPA though because it is not at all competitive. Most importantly, don't get a degree that you do not need....

    Nursing School Admission

    Neo Soldier replied to painelex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That depends on your school. In my school for example, having a health care certificate or license such as LVN, EMT, or CNA could boost your chances. Find out what your school is looking

    Nursing program

    Neo Soldier replied to Tjones02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only if you have to. This will mean some serious time management skills, and some amazing study habits. You also need to beware of burnout. Take adequate

    Dismissal from nursing school without failing any course

    Neo Soldier replied to Beebee18's topic in General Students

    You have one too many absences and I think that's the real problem. Even if they were being racist, the fact that you don't show up to things sort of works against you. Remember that you're going into...

    Advice for Nursing Student?

    Neo Soldier replied to obri's topic in General Students

    I graduated nursing school 3 weeks ago and I dreaded clinical; it was possibly the worst part of school for me, that and exams, and SIM, and competency, and lectures, don't get me started on care...

    Think about becoming a RN

    Neo Soldier replied to Juo2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Rn programs usually take 2 years at a community college or between 2.5 - 3 years at a 4 year school. LPN/LVN programs take a year. I haven't heard of any RN programs that have been done in a

    Should I quit?

    Neo Soldier replied to iamalagirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Look somewhere else. You may get hired as a CNA even though you graduated from an rn program because until you pass the NCLEX, you're not an RN. If you hate going into your job that much, what's the...

    California CNA CEUs Help

    Neo Soldier replied to hamshoecraft's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Some college classes count. I'm currently a CNA and when I turned in my paper work for CEUs, my nursing classes did count. Some college classes outside the program will count too. I'm not sure which...

    Help!!!LVN certification requirement??

    Neo Soldier replied to rnstudent00's topic in General Students

    I have heard of that and I do believe it's called method 3. I suggest calling the blvn/blpt to get more information. I think you need to have had your psych clinical and you need pharmacology though....

    I can honestly say I agree with everyone who says it's a bit too late to start now. It's a stressful job and highly demanding. Do you have other

    GPA

    Neo Soldier replied to ally252's topic in Chamberlain College

    With a 2.5, you really don't have much of a chance. Nursing is very competitive and you're in the running with people with a 4.0. Your Anatomy and physiology are good enough. I would suggest possibly...

    The infamous question, LPN or RN?

    Neo Soldier replied to Irr3k's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Going the LPN route is just an added step and more time wasted. The only time I recommend the LPN route is when a person absolutely needs to go through that route: GPA, need to make money immediately,...

    AZ New Grad RN

    Neo Soldier replied to EveeRN224's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would say that you should take what you can get for now and gain experience, and while you're at it, get certifications: ACLS/PALS, even work on a degree. You may get offers you may not necessarily...

    Am I being too hard on myself

    Neo Soldier replied to lorias's topic in General Students

    Part of being a nurse is making judgment calls. You know what you did was wrong, and also it didn't lead to poor patient outcomes. Do not tell on yourself! You're making yourself look bad. Nurses...

    Is becoming an MA still worth it ?

    Neo Soldier replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't think being a Medical assistant is worth it. It has little to do with patient care. You're essentially a secretary. If you want something that will count, become a CNA. This will give you...

    PlanB after getting kicked out of nursing program

    Neo Soldier replied to brennareilly's topic in General Students

    You should consider retaking some classes. Cs are not at all competitive. You're going to be in the running with people who have over a 3.5 GPA. Try retaking some classes that count toward your degree...

    Currently Lost in Pursuing Nursing

    Neo Soldier replied to OptimisticAraceli's topic in General Students

    Please do not change your major if nursing is what you ultimately want: you will just be putting yourself in debt. If you want to get your nursing degree in your school, figure out what their...
