    Should I become a nurse if I don't like bedside care?

    Neo Soldier replied to Sweetjen09's topic in General Students

    When you become a nurse, you don't have to do bedside care. While in the nursing program, you will have to do bedside as part of clinical but it's only a few hours a week. If you want to get into...

    Is there any point going to nursing school?

    Neo Soldier replied to bellkaty's topic in General Nursing

    You could apply for a scholarship through HRSA. See if you qualify. https://bhw.HRSA.gov/funding/apply-scholarship/nurse-corps I'm sure there are more options to obtain scholarships. Your...

    Is taking Micro 8 wk course & CNA 8 week course practical?

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

    Is it possible to finish your micro class and then take the 8 week CNA class afterward? I wouldn't say it's unrealistic to take both if you can. Do you need to be a CNA to get into the nursing...

    UTA PMHNP FALL 2021

    Neo Soldier replied to Shai M.'s topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Thank you Shai. I think the PMHNP must be new because I did my BSN with UTA not too long ago, and they had the FNP but not PMHNP. One more question, is the PMHNP completely online? I've scoured...

    ADN or BSN?

    Neo Soldier replied to Unsuregirl101's topic in General Nursing

    I went the ADN route and it was anything but light. Nursing school is generally difficult. My online RN-BSN on the other hand, was much lighter compared to my prior nursing school

    ADN or BSN?

    Neo Soldier replied to Unsuregirl101's topic in General Nursing

    How much does the BSN cost? Are you paying for it yourself? How much loans are you willing to take on? How long will it take to graduate with the ADN; same amount of time or close? The ADN is...

    Social Worker to PMH-NP

    Neo Soldier replied to LMSWtoNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    An associates is a cheaper route and I totally recommend it. You can get a Bachelor's degree completely online and I'm sure there are affordable schools out there. Requiring work experience to...

    Hybrid LPN/ADN or CNA to LPN Bridge Pathway

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

    I recommend getting your ADN from a community college. The LPN typically takes a year (or more); the ADN takes anywhere between 18 months to two years. A CC is a cost effective way to

    Help! I failed nursing school.. What should I do?

    Neo Soldier replied to Rheab35's topic in General Students

    Even if there is room in the program, they can give the spot to someone else. You're not entitled to anything. I would recommend putting an application elsewhere just in case. You'll be losing out on...

    Working full-time with 10 months old baby studying NCLEX

    Neo Soldier replied to Ariana30's topic in General Nursing

    If you’re only getting three hours of not enough studying, I’m afraid you’ll end up failing again. You need your study time. Is it possible to take out a small loan to pay your rent and...

    Job Applications

    Neo Soldier replied to jakrob123's topic in General Nursing

    It may be a good idea to get nursing experience elsewhere to have the experience employers are looking for. I have a friend who wanted to work med surg in a big hospital and she was rejected the first...

    Are LVN/LPN programs a waste of time? BSN ultimate goal.

    Neo Soldier replied to Nurseguysf's topic in General Students

    This right here. LVN school takes time: a year (and up to 18 months). If you intend to become an RN, then becoming an LVN is unnecessary. You can get a leg up with a CNA certificate (which takes...

    Can I get a job as an ADN?

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

    You can find work with an ADN. I got my first nursing job with my ADN, although I eventually got my BSN. It's true that some RN(ADN)- BSN programs are as short as nine months. I went to one of...

    Prerequisites For Nursing Program

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

    Do they require you to have work experience to get into their program? While it's nice to have you have to make sure they take it into (high) consideration. I would like to advise you to apply to...

    IV insertion practice needed

    Neo Soldier replied to pedsnurseIJAG's topic in General Nursing

    Youtube would have tutorials. You can also practice on a mannequin. If you need some one-on-one, you could take a phlebotomy course, or ask someone you know to

    Working as RN before going on to grad school?

    Neo Soldier replied to nursingstudentwannabe's topic in General Students

    Getting experience will be for your benefit. It may be harder doing some assignments when/if you don't know a thing about nursing; not just patient care but also working with managers, doctors, other...

    Switching Careers from Nursing because I hate it so much

    Neo Soldier replied to nursingworldwhy's topic in General Nursing

    You and me both. Before you tap out, may I suggest looking into a different field- of nursing. You can work at a clinic psychiatry, or a rehab. You could even look into teaching- you will need some...

    HELP be a nurse or another career opportunity?

    Neo Soldier replied to xlightx's topic in General Nursing

    Take your NCLEX immediately and if you desire to do this job on the side, then go for it. Mind you, these so called opportunities that promise these exorbitant wages, rarely ever deliver. I remember...

    Low GPA Applicants

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