  1. Advancement in nursing career

    forevernursem replied to StaceyTr88's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely look into RN to BSN degrees! BSN nurses have more job opportunities than the ADN nurses. After getting a BSN, you could further your education with a masters. There are TONS of stuff you...

  2. Nursing program

    forevernursem replied to Tiabony07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    BSN degrees are more expensive, but you have more job opportunities with them. ADN degrees cost less to get, but you would have to go back to school for your BSN. You could do the ADN route, then...

  3. School choice dilemma

    forevernursem replied to mmwaters81's topic in General Students

    Hello! I personally would not go for an LPN if your goal is a BSN. Like you said, it would take longer to get your BSN, and will ultimately cost you more money. Maybe you could finish your...

  4. What steps should I take?

    forevernursem replied to nita21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school is VERY competitive and a 2.5 GPA won't cut it to make it into a nursing program. Nursing programs don't look at all of the classes you took, only the nursing prerequisites, and those...

  5. The infamous question, LPN or RN?

    forevernursem replied to Irr3k's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want to be an RN, then don't waste your time and money becoming an LPN first. Go straight and get your ADN or

    forevernursem replied to Tjones02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school doesn't recommend it, but a lot of people work part time. Its hard, but doable. Must manage your

  7. Nursing school

    forevernursem replied to Jones21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my program, when someone retakes a class, it lessens their chance of being accepted. So, if someone retook A&P three times, it would be impossible to get accepted. I don't know how your school...

  8. Not sure nursing is for me??

    forevernursem replied to Showdee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't have passion for it, then why waste your time? Save that seat in the program for someone who is actually passionate about

  9. I finished all of my Prerequites for my Nursing Program, but I was not admitted.

    forevernursem replied to Dimor3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So sorry this happened to you! I'm guessing you weren't accepted because they reduced the seats at the school, and your GPA wasn't high enough to be accepted? If that is the case, then retake the...

  10. Back to school but low confidence?

    forevernursem replied to hau101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! When getting accepted into a nursing program, the school doesn't look at high school GPA. Each nursing program has different admission standards, and each look at different things when seeing...

  11. BSN vs ADN + Bachelors

    forevernursem replied to ns90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely begin to look for RN to BSN programs. I'm in an ADN program now, and after I graduate I'm attending a university to get my BSN. Hospitals will hire ADNs, but, you would have to get your BSN...

  12. Nursing VS Respiratory Care

    forevernursem replied to w0ntonsoup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which one are you most interested in? RT or Nursing? If you get your ADN, you will be able find a job in the hospital, but would have to get your BSN within a certain amount of years (here in Michigan...

  13. How do you juggle nursing school and living by yourself?

    forevernursem replied to Kohai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in nursing school right now. A typical week for me is 3 days of lecture and lab, and 2 days of clinicals at the hospital. My school doesn't recommend working. I wanna say about 85% of the students...

  14. Transferring from a Community College to University/Private, ADN or BSN?

    forevernursem replied to adolfo_1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you apply for a BSN program and finish that program successfully, then you would be a RN, BSN after passing the NCLEX. Community college ADN programs are cheaper compared to getting a BSN at a...

    forevernursem replied to beca0508's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! If nursing is what you're passionate about then I think you should give it a go! Finish those last 2 prerequisites, apply and see what happens :) Best of

  16. Nursing School Admission

    forevernursem replied to painelex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All schools have different requirements on how they accept people. So, you would have to talk to a counselor or nursing program representative at your school to see what they look at when they accept...

  17. Physical for Nursing School?!

    forevernursem replied to Michelle1006's topic in General Students

    Yes they took my blood and checked my urine. They did all of the normal stuff like height, weight, reflexes, asked me a bunch of questions about my health. Also you get updated on vaccines and the flu...

  18. First semester nursing school

    forevernursem replied to dreamnursing2's topic in General Students

    I just finished Pharm and LOVED it. I'm really good at science, but I was nervous about starting nursing school because I heard horror stories. Honestly, it was a lot easier than I thought it was...

  19. Pre-nursing

    forevernursem replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing School is very expensive; one cheaper option would be getting your ADN at a community college, then doing an RN to BSN program at a university. Also, to answer about your age, nursing is a lot...

  20. Schooling Decisions

    forevernursem replied to steenerweiner's topic in General Students

    Hello! I'm in an ADN program right now. You sound just like me because I want to get my BSN, then go for my MSN or DNP. I'm in Michigan, one thing to keep in mind here is that hospitals hire ADNs, but...

  21. What does the "ADN GPA" consist of

    forevernursem replied to X620's topic in General Students

    Hi! I'm in an ADN program right now and my GPA consists of all of my prerequisites and the nursing program courses. When I graduate with my ADN and transfer to the university, my GPA will start over...

    forevernursem replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

  24. A and P II advice?

    forevernursem replied to Broadstreetbully24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me A&P 2 wasn't any harder than A&P 1. You did good in A&P 1, so I'm sure you will do just as good in 2, if you put in the same amount of effort. Best of

  25. ADN vs. BSN (degrees in different fields)

    forevernursem replied to Bg1053's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I'm doing an ADN program in Michigan, and the hospitals here still hire ADNs, but you have to get your BSN degree in a 3 year period (sometimes more, sometimes less). You could always do an RN to...
