1. What should I do before starting my ABSN?

   Triplepoint replied to J. RN_2023's topic in General Students

   If you are not good at math, start practicing med math asap. A busy first term of nursing school is an unfortunate time to discover that you are having trouble with dosage calculations. It will make your life much easier. Aside from that, do some fun...

2. Can I get into a nursing program with W's?

   Triplepoint replied to Shyann Kelly's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes you can. I did. I really depends upon the rest of your academic transcript. If you have some W's but then went on to be successful in your pre-requisites, I'd say you have a good chance of being accepted to a program. Good luck!

3. Can I still be a great nurse without prior CNA experience?

   Triplepoint replied to azulaflameRN's topic in New Nurse

   YES! Of course you can! The benefit of having CNA experience is that you know what you are getting yourself into when you start your nursing career, but as long as you are not afraid of getting your hands dirty and doing direct patient care, you will...

4. Float Pool as New Grad

   Triplepoint replied to Jules2385's topic in New Nurse

   Caveat: I do not have personal experience with working in the float pool myself, but I have talked to people who have because I have been considering starting there myself! I think the real question is, how much support do you get? The people w...

5. Nursing School A Mistake

   Triplepoint replied to wogatu's topic in General Students

   You may find that you hate many things nursing related while in nursing school, and then while working as a nurse. You may find nursing school very challenging, or you may find it silly and inane. Either experience can make you want to peace out. How...

6. Should I review pathophysiology/anatomy and physiology before starting my nursing program? Or is this overkill?

   Triplepoint replied to Stressed1998's topic in General Students

   If you want to review anatomy for nursing school, do a thorough review of the heart and lungs, the immune system, and the liver. This will help you a ton. Doing more review than this is unnecessary, in my humble opinion.

7. BSN while pursuing RN

   Triplepoint replied to cblossom78's topic in General Students

   I believe that Boise state will allow you to do this. People in my ADN program were simultaneously enrolled in the boise state program to complete their BSN, as it does not require a RN license or a completed associates degree to enroll.

8. I really need your advice. which college is better option?

   Triplepoint replied to NURST1324's topic in General Students

   I don't think anyone should ever spend $90,000 to get a nursing degree. That is a TON of money for something that you can achieve for a lot less. If I were you I'd go to the ADN program, get a job when you finish, and do an RN-BSN program while you w...

9. Need help deciding between 2 year BSN program and asn then RN-BSN route?

   Triplepoint replied to Stressed1998's topic in General Students

   That is so awesome! Good luck on your nursing school journey!

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

    Triplepoint replied to Sweetjen09's topic in General Students

    It's good to be asking these questions before deciding to pursue nursing school. Even if you get a job in a doctor's office as a nurse, you will still have to go through a nursing program and do clinical where you will not be able to avoid unpleasant...

11. Stats in the Summer

    Triplepoint replied to TheNursingdoll's topic in General Students

    It really depends... Some people find it to be a piece of cake, others have difficulty with it. If you have good math and conceptual skills, you probably won't be overwhelmed. Also make sure you do your homework on your professor..... Some people hav...

12. Should I accept my seat?

    Triplepoint replied to Stressed1998's topic in General Students

    You would have to look at the ADN program requirements to see if you met them with the classes you took during your bachelors degree. Did you already take pre-reqs such as anatomy, micro, and college level math? If so, you probably won't have to take...

13. How much can you work while in nursing school?

    Triplepoint replied to aspiringbuffalobsn's topic in General Students

    If you don't have kids, already have a degree under your belt, and are a fairly organized person, you can probably hack it. If you are a slow reader or struggle with scientific concepts or nursing pre-reqs, you may need to reconsider. Having your edu...

14. Should I accept my seat?

    Triplepoint replied to Stressed1998's topic in General Students

    $50,000 is a lot of money for a program, but you have to take into consideration more than the cost. How old are you? If you are in your early 20's then taking an extra year to do an ADN and save some money may be a really good choice. If you are in ...

15. Should I complete my medical assistant program?

    Triplepoint replied to sshall's topic in General Students

    First of all, congrats on getting in to OHSU! The nursing program is very competitive, so you should be very proud of yourself for getting a spot! I would say that if you have the interest and the time to complete the medical assisting class AN...
