I had plans to be a doctor. After attending one semester of medical school it was not the right fit for me. I graduated with a human biology degree with a health science emphasis. I am debating whether I should do an accelerated BSN or direct entr...

I have a few more clinicals left. Has been tough but doing very well academically. End in October of 2021. I cannot wait!

Does anyone have any good resources differentiating GI conditions such as Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis C, and etc? Many of the conditions are very similar and we have an exam tomorrow (every 3rd day due to ABSN) for pathophysiology. I gu...

Sorry for the short notice. I am looking for someone who would proofread and help with organization and transitions with my paper. It is due Monday and would just prefer another set of eyes to look at it. I can send the Google Docs link. Thanks!

I'm excited I was accepted to the 1 year ABSN program in my area. I will be starting in October. Thanks again everyone!

I was recently accepted to an ABSN program. I'm just trying to see if anyone has advice. I have found that Anki has been helpful for memorization. I know you can covert Quizlet to Anki. Are there any good decks like from registerednurseRN or anythin...

As someone who was in medical school and dropped out, I'm glad I did. I am science-minded, but I didn't want to be in $400,000 of debt and go through the schooling of medical school. Things aren't always better on the other side, but I guess it dep...

I decided to do an ABSN because many places won't hire direct entry students. Plus I can start ABSN in October. It's for one year and not as risky.

I’m having a very hard time deciding on a nursing program. The first one is accelerated for 12 months, starting in October 2020 to October 2021 but is $42,000. The other would not be accelerated starting this Summer but $12,000-14,000 cheaper. They ...

Someone at my hospital said they are requiring nurses to get their DNP now and its cheaper to be a PA now. That is not true but one reason others suggested being a PA instead. I agree with you though. I just don't want to take out student loans a...

Here is a response from direct-entry masters: "I am actually one of those people who is enrolled in a direct entry program NP program (MSN), set to graduate in May 2021. The reason why I applied, is because I wanted to become a provider, either PA or...

A few people responded online and regret doing a direct entry masters. I think I'm going to do WGU once I work as a nurse for a few years. I just looked on their website. This is a very appealing program for me.

I'm in a similar situation. Do you mind if I message you about my situation?

Did you end up finding any scholarships?

We do not have COVID patients on our units but the doctors are still seeing patients.

I don't work as a nurse yet but as a tech. We are preparing for the surge in cases. It is pretty slow for me since our unit does elective surgeries. They keep saying there is going to be a surge in COVID cases. For me, it doesn't not seem very bus...

I hope it is for the better.

I just applied to an accelerated BSN program. I feel obligated and want to help those affected. If I was suffering, I would want others to help.

Luckily my family is healthy. Some doctors are renting RVs and sleeping in them to protect their families though.

Look at countries like South Korea and etc who handled it well. It's too bad we did not do enough testing.

I agree you need to talk to your manager about this and not spread it. The elderly are very vulnerable in nursing homes.

I know Minnesota has a DNP program. I don't know if you are interested in doing research or not though. https://www.nursing.umn.edu/doctor-nursing-practice-program/specialty-areas/integrative-health-and-healing

I'd go for the cheapest program that is still reputable.

Yeah seems like it isn't worth it.
