    RANT!!! Can’t get INTO AN RN PROGRAM I AM A LPN!!! GPA ISSUES

    Neo Soldier replied to Meghan3332's topic in LPN to RN

    No take what you need for nursing school or your bachelors degree. For example, if you didn't pass US history I then it's a good idea to retake. Also is starting over a possibility rather than a...

    RANT!!! Can’t get INTO AN RN PROGRAM I AM A LPN!!! GPA ISSUES

    Neo Soldier replied to Meghan3332's topic in LPN to RN

    A private school should honestly be a last resort due to the price of such schools. Try and retake the classes you didn't get the best grades in, and that includes C grades. Some schools will look at...

    Expelled from RN program, looking for options

    Neo Soldier replied to cjprenurse's topic in General Students

    This is a great idea. I too don't recommend the LVN for those seeking to become RNs. It's a waste of money and time. I suggest getting your CNA certificate. After your first semester of nursing...

    Are my chances of getting into nursing school gone?

    Neo Soldier replied to FutureCRNA1999's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The thing is, nursing schools are competitive and they really care about your GPA and HESI/TEAs. This is not to say that OPs chances are gone but it may be a little harder no matter how much sugary...

    Psych Nurses. Do you hug your patients?

    Neo Soldier replied to Yahni's topic in Psychiatric

    Rare fist bumps. I do not touch my patients and I don't want them touching me. It's about boundaries and safety. I would definitely not recommend

    Trans Patient

    Neo Soldier posted a topic in Psychiatric

    We had a patient who wished to be identified as a female. She recently started hormone treatments and she looked female. She hadn't gotten the reassignment surgery. The day shift decided to let her...

    Pre-nursing student attending Grand Canyon University

    Neo Soldier replied to Gam4923's topic in School, College Programs

    Please reconsider going to a school that will put you in serious debt. Nursing makes you comfortable- not rich. Think of this: you will work to pay off a loan. You could start taking some of your...

    New Grad Application Rejection

    Neo Soldier replied to CBerries's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    First off, congrats on graduating!! Unfortunately graduation and getting your RN does not guarantee employment or employment satisfaction. The best thing I can say is you should be open to working...

    Please Help!!

    Neo Soldier replied to gravy94's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have an interest in teaching? Maybe you could be a CNA instructor. You could also be an RN clinical instructor as some colleges want at least a BSN to be an

    Need advice on picking best RN to BSN online program

    Neo Soldier replied to chrisRN180's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Did you mean Ohio State University or Ohio University because they both have RN-BSN programs online. https://nursing.osu.edu/academics/undergraduate/rn-bsn/rn-bsn-curriculum For OSU, you still...

    Need advice on picking best RN to BSN online program

    Neo Soldier replied to chrisRN180's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree that UTA is deceptive. For example, you require two electives specifically from UTA to be eligible to graduate which automatically makes the total cost >$9k. You are able to take classes at...

    Is it possible for me to be a good nurse?

    Neo Soldier replied to Mimium's topic in General Nursing

    First of all: last semester at 20 years old. Congrats on that. There's no way of knowing what type of nurse you'll be until you become a nurse; nursing school isn't typically a great indicator. Some...

    Smelly residents

    Neo Soldier replied to La'sBlueSky's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    Agreed. I work in mental health and the sweet approach hardly works. For some patients, you need to give them two choices: either do it yourself or we can kindly assist. In as much as patients have...

    Anti-vax parents sue to keep kids in school

    Neo Soldier replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I think vaccinations should be a legal requirement at this point. Children should not have to potentially be at risk just because their parents think they can outsmart

    CNA to RN

    Neo Soldier replied to Mary3010's topic in General Nursing

    Being a CNA is beneficial because it helps you to be comfortable around patients as well as earn some income. Earning a CNA certificate will not reduce the credits you need for RN school though but it...

    I NEED ADVICE.

    Neo Soldier replied to Britt_3920's topic in Nursing Career

    What would be the difference between giving up full time work for two years vs. one year? If you want to be an RN, please go that way instead. It's not always easy to get into a bridge program. If in...

    Do you think interviews for nursing school can lead to discrimination?

    Neo Soldier replied to SilverNova's topic in General Students

    I really hate the idea of an interview for nursing school. I think acceptance should be based on volunteer work, GPA etc. I prefer a more objective approach. The reason for this is that I have seen...

    Hello, If you haven't found a school yet, here's one. https://academicpartnerships.uta.edu/programs/rn-to-bsn.aspx It's accredited. Fully online. No clinical requirement. 5 week RN-BSN classes (except...

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

    I'm sorry about your situation. If you are interested in working in the medical field, could you possibly get CNA certification? Did you complete your first semester? if you did, could you possibly...

    RN to BSN/MSN

    Neo Soldier replied to dhawk01's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    WGU is one of such schools and some students have graduated in less than six months. It's also affordable at about $3000+. It's accredited but they have a pass/no pass system and the most one can earn...

    RN to BSN/MSN

    Neo Soldier replied to dhawk01's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't know if I will be able to help much. Is the problem that you're only allowed to take one class at a time? or are you required to take too many

    Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    Neo Soldier replied to carti's topic in General Students

    I love this message. I can't imagine how great you made her feel that day. Good job! I may be needing this one in the future.

    Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    Neo Soldier replied to carti's topic in General Students

    First off, you're not so young that you refer to people as "older crowd." Also, do not compare a female refusing service from a male nurse to a black person being refused service; two different...

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

    https://academicpartnerships.uta.edu/programs/rn-to-bsn.aspx In case you were still looking, this is a good option. You have the option of graduating in 9 months depending on how much courses you can...

    Should I just give up?

    Have you looked at the point system of the schools you're applying to? Have you also looked at moving to a different city or even southern California where there are quite a few community colleges...
