    Should I try to earn my RN license or go back to college?

    Neo Soldier replied to Divine-LPN,BSN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am very curious about this too. @Divine-LPN,BSN Is there something holding you back from sitting for the NCLEX-RN which I must assume you are eligible for? Why are you working as an LPN when you...

    Capstone?

    Neo Soldier replied to Meerkats's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm waiting to enroll in Capstone but I still have to wait for my final grades to be put in to register. From what I heard from someone who went there, it's one big paper that we have to do in bits...

    help with getting back to study for nclex

    Neo Soldier replied to coto1121's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Is it possible for you to take a refresher course because you graduated a long time ago? Also bear in mind you would be an "old new grad" so get ready for employers to question you. If/when you do...

    ADN-BSN or CC-Transfer to BSN

    Neo Soldier replied to ItsKatato's topic in General Nursing

    No it's valid...haha... I'm surprised you're a junior in high school and you have a plan already. That's amazing! I wasn't close to having a plan at your

    ADN-BSN or CC-Transfer to BSN

    Neo Soldier replied to ItsKatato's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that your concern is marketability upon graduation with an ADN. If that's the only issue, i would suggest going the ADN route. Having an ADN doesn't mean you won't get employed, it just means...

    Debating between BSN or ADN programs, please help!

    Neo Soldier replied to prenursing2019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please consider applying to ADN programs if you have a chance to. Don't sit out a semester because there is no guarantee that you will get into any nursing program even if you have good grades. Like...

    Would this shirt get me into trouble in class?

    Neo Soldier replied to FloridaLPN19's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Tacky is being offended by someone's right to religious expression. Jesus is now a trigger word? I don't care if he has Mohammed, or the Buddha on his shirt that's his right to self expression. It...

    Would this shirt get me into trouble in class?

    Neo Soldier replied to FloridaLPN19's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I honestly don't find the shirt offensive at all neither do I find it arrogant. You have the right to your religious views and in fact you're protected by the constitution. However for the sake of PC...

    Need advice on picking best RN to BSN online program

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

    I am at UTA's RN-BSN program. It's accredited and it costs about $9000. You go at your own pace and although it is advertised as being as quick as 9 months, you can realistically be done in less time...

    KAPLAN AND UWORLD SCORES

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

    I had Kaplan from my school. I finished the q bank. The problem with Kaplan is that if you don't use the ebook, you may not do well on the NCLEX. The rationales are underwhelming. With UWorld, you...

    Thoughts on ADN to MSN then NP?

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

    MSN and NP are both masters degrees/programs. Why get two masters? If you can go from ADN to NP that would be great otherwise, get the BSN which could take less than a year and then you have more...

    Applying to the CSN Nursing Program - Are my scores competitive enough?

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

    I think you're better off getting your CNA license because you can work as a CNA and gain paid experience pertinent in the field you want to work in. It also gives you a foot in the door so that you...

    RN to BSN process vs BSN

    Neo Soldier replied to WannaBeNurse1999's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The RN-BSN is not necessarily longer. I got into my BSN program two months after I graduated from my ADN program. I planned ahead and I was in contact with my prospective school months before I...

    Next step after graduation AS Health Sciences

    Neo Soldier replied to Kvmontes89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always recommend that those trying to break into nursing get work as a CNA to get used to patient care while making money. I recommend a school that doesn't take more than four weeks. A private...

    Would you consider your time In LPN school as experience?

    Neo Soldier replied to Emireth's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Look for new grad positions. If you haven't already, make an Indeed profile and search there. Be open to working anywhere; it still counts as

    Dismissed From Nursing School, Not Sure What To Do Now

    Neo Soldier replied to jennelleledesma's topic in General Students

    If you're passionate about nursing, then I don't think changing your major to biology only to go back into nursing is really beneficial. It's a waste of time and money. I think you should be open to...
