    Well, do you understand and remember what you read? If not, you shouldn't be going forward - you should stay right where you are until you can summarize for yourself what you read. Highlighting -...

    Is a second degree/accelerated program too much stress?

    Music in My Heart replied to Pmkn10RN's topic in General Students

    Very good point! We're in the same boat (though ours are worth 15% of our grade) and it's caused a lot of stress. I would definitely tell people to be sure of your ability to learn on your own, out of...

    Is a second degree/accelerated program too much stress?

    Music in My Heart replied to Pmkn10RN's topic in General Students

    I'm in an accelerated direct-entry MSN program. We do 5 semesters in 18 months and also began clinicals the first week of the program. It is intense and probably doesn't provide as solid an education...

    Well, to some degree, it is just what you describe. I found it helpful to do it by category. I also found it helpful to look up proper pronunciation. After that it was just

    Music in My Heart replied to justme1972's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I would argue that many of us are partly responsible for facilitating the co-opting of the term "doctor." After all, don't many of us use the term "doctor" to mean "physician" in some contexts? I have...

    Medical School --> Nursing School?

    Music in My Heart replied to cherrysky's topic in General Nursing

    I am presently in my second semester of nursing school at the age of 43. I have not chosen to go to nursing school BECAUSE I didn't get into medical school in 1998. I've chosen to go into nursing...

    Music in My Heart replied to krolik's topic in General Nursing

    Presently, all the NP programs of which I'm aware are masters level or doctorate programs. After earning a BSN -- and usually gaining some experience -- you'd go into an NP program. My understanding...

    Do TCN graduates exist?

    Music in My Heart replied to schlnrs07's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't get it. My program through a public university is all online (except for clinicals, of course). They refer to it as "e-learning" but it really isn't. All it is is book learning with...

    As long as both schools are accredited (which it sounds like they are -- public CCs, right?) then it won't be an issue at all. My prerequisites came from several different schools but they were all...
