1. CNA vs. Nurse: Too saturated or huge need?

   morbidlycurious replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in CNA/MA

   @Beldar_the_Cenobite Hey Beldar, did you get your financial aid award letter already? I'm trying to figure out my financial aid stuff but can't seem to get any answers about anything. Also, congratulations on getting into nursing school ?

2. ATI Critical Thinking Exam

   morbidlycurious replied to RN2020scm's topic in General Students

   Pretty sure ATI only does one Critical Thinking Test, so i'm sure that you'd be looking at the same test that we did.

3. I don't want to give up on nursing....west cost university :(

   morbidlycurious replied to New2block's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Actually a lot of schools ask for all prior transcripts from all institutions attended. Purposely hiding this information is considered grounds for dismissal. Otherwise, i agree with everything. LPN and ADN programs are great to get your foot in the ...

4. Is Nursing Becoming Over-Saturated?

   morbidlycurious replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ho boy. So a lot of people on this site would tell you that yes, the job market is over saturated and employers only want BSNs. With that said, some of this will depend on where you live, but my opinion from what i've seen in my area is that the only...

5. ATI Critical Thinking Exam

   morbidlycurious replied to RN2020scm's topic in General Students

   That's great! I don't see too much information about the ATI critical thinking test online - glad that I could help ?

6. Hands

   morbidlycurious replied to dream'n's topic in General Nursing

   Mine are horrible too. For me, it seems like the only time that I can hold onto moisture from lotions is if I use baby/mineral oil afterwards. And even that is not a permanent fix, but it does feel like it adds a little extra extra protection from ha...

7. Stethoscope

   morbidlycurious replied to araew2129's topic in General Students

   I have not decided yet either, but I will point out that the Classic III comes with a 5 year warranty, where the Cardio has a 7 year warranty. If you decide on the Cardio, you may want to spend the extra couple of bucks to buy it from a place that wi...

8. Would repeating a prerequisite hurt my chance of getting in?

   morbidlycurious replied to stormii's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wouldn't take general chemistry unless 1. you want to go to a school that will only accept that particular chemistry class, or 2. you have biology or chemistry as a back up major. That being said, if you decide to take another Chemistry class, it w...

9. Alternate List

   morbidlycurious replied to Ashenx's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would apply to the program that's close to you. You never know what kind of financial package they might offer you. Also, with your pre-requisites out of the way, you may be paying less than 8k a semester if you end up less than full time anyway. I...

10. Really need help

    morbidlycurious replied to laurelgoodwin's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Fastest path to an RN license is an associates degree (think community college; also cheap) or diploma program (around 20 months), although I would only recommend one of those if it is offered at a hospital. Beware of any "tech" school, or at least l...

11. Pre-Nursing!!!

    morbidlycurious replied to Missfuturenurse19's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Check out the professors from your school who teach the classes on ratemyprofessor. Every school is different, but you should be able to get a good idea of how hard the class is by what previous students say. I wish the schools around here allowed ge...

12. Microbiology this summer. Am I crazy?

    morbidlycurious replied to NeedASugarDaddyOrSomething's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I found microbiology to be a lot of memorization while A&P2 was more big concepts. LOTS of flashcards for micro, and flow charts for A&P2. I would take them together in the fall and nothing else. At least that way you'll have the extra time t...

13. White Nursing Student Shoes

    morbidlycurious replied to jsm1917's topic in General Students

    I've checked the uniform stores near me, and none carry white. The sales associate told me that this is because only nursing students buy white ? super helpful! You can check out any uniform stores near you just to see the fit of different brands. I'...

14. Nursing Student dilemma

    morbidlycurious replied to PupilNursing's topic in General Students

    I believe that most schools want transcripts from all institutions attended. Even if you withdraw. I think that a withdraw of courses would look better than an F, but you are most likely going to have to be open about this either way. If you withdraw...

15. I have DUIs on my past record.

    morbidlycurious replied to Domino2019's topic in Criminal

    Dang. I am in near the same position, so my two cents is limited to my experience. What I did was first was checked with my state board of nursing, to see if my convictions will prohibit me from getting a license. Next, I talked to the nursing school...
