    NP/PMHNP Work Culture

    Neo Soldier replied to Iamchasingdreams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This reply is long overdue. I was formerly under the impression that pharmacy was a lot more rewarding than nursing, and so I truly didn't understand why you felt the way you did. I have a family...

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

    Does anyone know if this school requires (admitted) students to commute or is it online only? I’m having a hard time finding this information on their website. Thank

    Working as a CNA while in nursing school? Thoughts?

    Neo Soldier replied to Smokey1129's topic in General Students

    Keep the job you have now. Don't make any major changes while in nursing school. When you graduate, be willing to get in where you can to gain the needed experience. I have a friend...

    Experience before first year of clinicals?

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

    If you don't have experience now, don't sweat it. It costs money anyway. I would recommend enjoying your free time while you can because nursing school is quite tedious. Besides, after the first...

    Advice for those struggling to get an acceptance?

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

    I agree with poster above suggesting you get your CNA certificate. I recommend a private (accredited) school because some of them are as short as 3 weeks. Community colleges take more time. The...

    NEED CAREER ADVICE!

    Neo Soldier replied to NurseChristinaB's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds good. Looks like you have your priorities in check. Agreed. However, something has got to give especially when it comes to making a transition. Convenience may...

    What to say to a student who needs encouragement?

    Neo Soldier replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. If you haven't already gotten certified, do it. Find a short program that doesn't take more than 5 weeks. Get a job and see what the world of nursing is really like while also...

    Trying to help daughter

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

    It’s great you’re quite involved. The truth is that youth don’t have it all figured out and like you said, by the time she does, it may be much harder to stay on track. With children, marriage,...

    Should I go to a private school to get my LVN since I can't get into an RN program

    Neo Soldier replied to lesett24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @Quantum Entity I also want to recommend El Monte Rosemead and Hacienda La puente. They have the LVN program and they’re cheaper than

    How long did you study for the NCLEX

    Excellent advice. Taking a mental break is necessary before the NCLEX. I took one as

    Should I go to a private school to get my LVN since I can't get into an RN program

    Neo Soldier replied to lesett24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Three years? That's a long time. I'm sorry about that. I agree with the other suggestions regarding looking for an LVN program at a community college. One thing I want to advise is to check how much...

    I need some advice

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

    If you keep doing this type of work, I'm afraid to tell you that your body will give way over time. You will end up being in constant pain. I would recommend speaking up about this, or going...

    Seeking Advice! Failed 2-Year Program. Now What?

    Is there a possibility to get the LVN done there and then bridge to the RN program? Is there another program you can

    Terrible at math

    Neo Soldier replied to Hekate21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I’m not the best at math too. It took a lot of practice. Thankfully, my college has a math and science building and because I wasn’t working at the time, I spent hours there doing homework,...

    LVN TO RN HELP

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

    I wouldn’t recommend West Coast. I had a brief super secret stint there. I think you should read reviews about the school before you go there; From over crowding to disorganization, the problems are...

    LVN TO RN HELP

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

    I know how hard it is to get into those classes you really need and it’s indeed frustrating. Keep your GPA up and take as many units you can (towards your major) so you can have priority...

    LVN TO RN HELP

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

    I would recommend finding out if those stand alone classes will transfer to Chaffey. Is Pacific College regionally accredited? You can also try other CCs like SBVC, RCC, and see if you can get...

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

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

    How long are we talking? The reason I say this is because after your first semester in nursing school, you can actually take the CNA exam. You might as well enjoy your free time because nursing school...

    Breakroom Pet Peeves

    Neo Soldier replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Minor pet peeve: people commenting on my food. I mean you can say that it smells good, but do I want to engage in conversation about what I'm eating? no. Heating broccoli in the microwave is a...

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

    Neo Soldier replied to Sweetjen09's topic in General Students

    Not every single nursing role is bedside. In psych nursing, there's barely any need to do things like that. Not that they won't come up once in a while, it's just not as
