How much did you/would you pay for BSN?

Neo Soldier replied to NursingHopeful95's topic in California Nursing

Yes the plan is that you need a BSN by 2020. That's what hospitals will prefer. This does not mean that you will be unhireable; it just means that you will be a bed side nurse and you may not get the...
Knowing When To Say NO

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

Wow! She could have tried to hide her feelings a little bit. The truth is that you will come across people like that at some point especially in the nursing field. It's a good thing that you handled...
How much did you/would you pay for BSN?

Neo Soldier replied to NursingHopeful95's topic in California Nursing

Most hospitals prefer a BSN but that doesn't mean you will not get hired if you have an ADN. Regardless of what you graduate with, you're still a new grad and the most important thing is getting your...
ADN then BSN?

Neo Soldier replied to cardenas_a's topic in California Nursing

Going into debt for school is tricky and I wouldn't recommend it unless you've exhausted every single option and/or there's a guarantee you'll pay it off in a realistic amount of time. I graduated in...
5x Failed NCLEX ! But not discouraged

Neo Soldier replied to Anonk3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

You're 3 years postgrad which tells me it's been a while since you've been in a classroom. You may have forgotten a lot of the material. Something you're doing is definitely not working. I think you...
130k Student debt for Entry MSN worth it?

Neo Soldier replied to ns90's topic in General Students

No, you will never find peace with that much debt. I was impatient like you and I went to West Coast University. I got quoted 90 thousand. I was stressed out week after week. After a few weeks, i made...
Retaking a&P and micro

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

Can you take A&P1 with micro since you have a family? Those two classes together may be a challenge. I would recommend retaking all three and get As in all of them or taking A&P 1 and 2 and...
Rejected by NYU, is it pointless to apply again?

Neo Soldier replied to NurseDebx's topic in New York Nursing

I would say, keep your options open. Apply to your preferred program but also apply to community colleges so that if you don't get into the ABSN, you don't waste time waiting. Also look into online...
West Coast University Spring 2018 BSN

Neo Soldier replied to FutureNurse2308's topic in California Nursing

My co worker's son goes there and he said that the monthly payments are 1200. I know financial aid is an option but does it cover all 2 years? Ask about your
Nursing advice

Neo Soldier replied to Rn2bmomta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

Does she have a 2.3 in the prereqs or are you looking at her entire gpa? I would say she should apply there and other places, she might get really lucky. The chances don't look too good because...
Double Major with Nursing / Nursing with Spanish Minor?

Neo Soldier replied to Carlos03558's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

I don't think it's a good idea to major in Spanish because you really won't have an edge if you don't speak it fluently. Some hospitals not only have translators that will come in, some have a phone...
Failed A&P 1... idk what to do

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

I agree with the people who say you should retake it at a community college; that really is the way to go and it's cost effective too. You will be better prepared this time since you have done it...
Prerequisites

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

In my school, I had the option of taking them separately. I think it's better that way honestly because I learn the basics: the human body, and then I move on and learn what they do. If I had to take...
Help...just a few questions!

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

The cheapest way is the ADN route. I would recommend looking at the community colleges and finding out what they want. What prerequisites they need. Look at their point system. Type in the school...
Just can't get in....grades not good enough

Neo Soldier replied to clover2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

Does your school have a point system? If they do then figure out how to maximize your chances of getting in. Do you have a CNA license? Is there a possibility that you can work in a place that can...
HELP! Classes are expiring!

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

There are people that apply to both the LVN and RN program and get in where they can and bridge right after. My suggestion to you is this: don't retake any more classes. That's more time and money...
Extremely Lost...Graduated with B.S. in Biology but Decided to Pursue Nursing

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

Quickest and cheapest is the ADN from a community college. I would suggest you go to assist .org to see if the classes you took at UCLA are equivalent to the ones at your local community college....
Explaining Low GPA

Neo Soldier replied to jr1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

You're not only insensitive but telling someone to take out a 90k loan to go to a private school sounds rather foolish. That's just bad financial advice. Are you going to help him pay off that huge...
Explaining Low GPA

Neo Soldier replied to jr1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

I never suggest this but, have you tried applying for the lvn program at your school? It takes a year to complete and when you're done, you can bridge to the bsn or lvn-bsn. I think it's better than...
Finished my pre-reqs!

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

Congrats!! I recommend you take a break. No seriously, take some time off. Relax, travel, but don't break anything..haha (no seriously). Nursing school is a beast and you need time off before you...
West Coast University Spring 2018 BSN

Neo Soldier replied to FutureNurse2308's topic in California Nursing

If housing is an issue, then why do you want to go to WCU? You need a lot if support to go there. You have to pay about 1200 a month. A co worker's son goes there and the co worker told me he has to...

Thinking about quitting nursing school..

Neo Soldier replied to champagneg's topic in General Students

Have you tried practice questions? That helped me a lot. I recommend Saunders nclex review RN, and lippincott q & a RN. They have questions as well as rationales. Also go online and search for...
CNA? What is it like?

Neo Soldier replied to meghand's topic in Virginia Nursing

I am currently a CNA in a psych hospital. My day could go either way. Really chill or really hectic. It depends on the number of patients admitted and/or acuity. When I started out, I was always...
