    CPAs get more respect than RNs because they are the directors of their own show. CPAs are the sole decision makers. Just like doctors make all the decisions while everyone else helps carry them out....

    nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

    CPAs have a prestige that RNs do not have. When you tell people youre a CPA, they know that you know your stuff and youre the director of your own show. When you tell people you are a nurse, they see...

    According to my instructor, her LPN training was only $3,000 back in the early 1990s. Now, its $19,000. But I also think that nursing school has become harder over the years due to all the advanced...

    I checked on the differences between NCLEX RN vs NCLEX PN. I did some research on it. There were around 8 sections that the NCLEX PN tested on. The NCLEX RN just had an additional 1 extra section,...

    nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

    I never took the CPA exam. But in all honesty, I do not think the NCLEX RN is too much more difficult than the NCLEX PN. They just test on two small extra sections. Many of the questions tested on...

    Applying concepts is not difficult within nursing. Judgement, applying concepts is significantly harder in CPA/ CFA exams. If you cannot apply concepts in nursing, it would mean there likely there...

    nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't fail the CPA. Theres no reason for me to continue studying for CPA if I don't want a career in accounting. Errors in accounting are no joke. It can ruin someone's life. And it can also...

    nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a great field. But unfortunately, after hearing so many stories from older, more experienced nurses, I don't think its a good idea to spend the rest of my life in this field. Nursing is not...

    nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry. But thats just my honest opinion. I'm not trying to be arrogant. I just passed my NCLEX and I felt that nursing was hard just because there was so much memorization involved. Anatomy...

    nursingcand replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

    You need to be able to memorize the "why" behind everything. You can understand the "why" but if you cannot remember it beyond a few weeks, you're not going to be able to pass the NCLEX. 95% of...

    Sure there are multiple sections in NCLEX too. But these topics are not tested in depth to the extent that the CPA exam is. Every section of the CPA exam is tested extremely in depth, very into...
