  1. You're in my shoes, what would you do to become an RN?

    Guest1142305 replied to wknd's topic in General Students

    ABSN or DEMSN, graduate in 12-18 months, pay $$$, but start working faster. Less competitive entrance. DEMSN lets you take graduate loans. Highly preferable. It’s the path I’m shooting

  2. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Burnout. Definitely hitting burnout. Can’t do anymore Chemistry problems, switching to pure reading for the next 2-3 days. Definitely hit a wall after 55+ hours in a week. Passed the first out of...

  3. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can only imagine. Math reliant science classes are a real drudge, at least for me. I’ve taken trig, college algebra, and statistics, but I still make stupid little errors all the time. Very...

  4. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Approaching 50+ total hours of Chem 1 study now through Aleks. Covered 197/253 topics; roughly 78% of the material. Light at the end of the tunnel. Two-three more days and I should be ready to tackle...

  5. Failed out of nursing school

    Guest1142305 replied to PRican's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Colonel Sanders was 62 when he hit it big. The founder of JcPenny lost nearly everything in a stock market crash, but still came out on top in the end. Don’t let a setback stop you from your...

  6. I'm Scared of Getting Fired

    Guest1142305 replied to Happychicken's topic in Male Nursing Students

    This is just my two cents, but you should start freelancing civil,engineering work in your area, build up clientele, and possibly open up your own firm. No reason you can’t do both. Having a side...

  7. Would you recommend a direct-entry Masters Program or Accelerated BSN?

    Guest1142305 replied to Dhooy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those clinicals could be an opportunity to network for a job at graduation. Consider the upside $$$ to that extra tuition. Working two-three months earlier wipes out the tuition

  8. Have you ever rethink the idea of being a nurse since this Covid-19 Outbreak

    Guest1142305 replied to Roberta Diva's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I likely had covid19. It was excruciating and my lungs are still so weak. Consequently, I’ve never been MORE sure I wanted to work in healthcare. I could be helping people right now with no fear of...

  9. Covid-19: Would you ever hire me if you saw I quit during this crisis?

    Guest1142305 replied to ScrubberDucky's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You got sick on the job and have a long recovery ahead of you. Contact Human Resources and begin the process of applying for FMLA relief, and short term disability if you guys have a plan. Also look...

  10. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Took Easter off. 12 hrs more plugged in, finished the stoichiometry section, mastered 2/3 of the 253 topics in the Aleks pie chart, moving faster now. Simple reactions, gases, thermochemistry, etc to...

  11. What is a Psychiatric NP like?

    Guest1142305 replied to HiddenShadow20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too would love to hear from some PMHNP’s on this. Same

  12. Would you recommend a direct-entry Masters Program or Accelerated BSN?

    Guest1142305 replied to Dhooy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sadly, he cheap ADN programs are also much more competitive because they are cheap... tons of applicants. I’m in the same boat. Where I already have a bachelors with an excellent GPA direct entry...

  13. A & P with no science background?

    Guest1142305 replied to GreenMagus87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the tip. I’m 30 hours into Aleks Gen Chem 1 with no background in Chem and I still have about a hundred topics to go (at 151/253). Maybe I’ll give Knewton Alta a shot. Aleks is getting...

    I’ve heard tale before a stint in Alaska can help get years under the

  16. Would you recommend a direct-entry Masters Program or Accelerated BSN?

    Guest1142305 replied to Dhooy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are also ADN-MSN bridge programs. Depending on your debt load from PA school that’s an option. ‘If you got quite far in your pay program perhaps another program would give you a second...

  17. Would you recommend a direct-entry Masters Program or Accelerated BSN?

    Guest1142305 replied to Dhooy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being a PA is a nice job. Why didn’t you finish that? Or is it the autonomy in most states you get as an np that

  18. Would you recommend a direct-entry Masters Program or Accelerated BSN?

    Guest1142305 replied to Dhooy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The NP certificate after the masters is not as many credits as a full masters, and the ADN is time consuming. The two paths compare like this: ADN: 2 years, let’s assume $6000 in tuition at a CC...

  19. Prerequisite(s) progress thread

    Guest1142305 replied to Guest1142305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thankfully, these are self paced sufficiency courses. The school I want to go to is incredibly liberal with their prerequisites. I may end up doing traditional ra classes at the local CC in August...

  20. Would you recommend a direct-entry Masters Program or Accelerated BSN?

    Guest1142305 replied to Dhooy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whatever gets you to np wages the fastest is the best path, regardless of initial investment. Every year lost not working as an np is a significant salary differential unless you’re working...

    Guest1142305 replied to GreenMagus87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want tot are a look into Aleks ($20 a month). Most people are familiar with it for math, but they also have a Chemistry section. I’m using it to study first semester Chemistry and so far...

  23. Portage or Straighterline?!

    Guest1142305 replied to Zule's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have done them yet. I’ve done business stats, college algebra, and I’m working on Chemistry now. I’m using Aleks as a supplement for the Chemistry knowledge just like I did for the math...

  24. Portage or Straighterline?!

    Guest1142305 replied to Zule's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really like straighterline’s learning format, I took college algebra and business statistics through them. Price is hard to beat. I’m doing their Chemistry 1 now, and using Aleks Chemistry as a...

  25. accelerated BSN or direct entry MSN?

    Guest1142305 replied to whoopdedoo22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An RN is an RN, you can find a job somewhere entry level regardless. Doing the MSN directly puts you ahead of schedule for finishing whatever specialty you want as an RN. Some Post-masters NP...
