  1. Northwell Health RN Fellowships July 2022

    compressionsock replied to Nursingstudent1999's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi there, I’m reviving this thread (LOL) can anyone speak to the timeline of their application process? Like would it be insane for me to apply now if I won’t graduate until May 2023. I am also...

  3. Thoughts on Commuting

    compressionsock replied to MalinkeMuso's topic in General Students

    Ultimately this decision is up to you however I can speak to the fact that you should not go to a school that is not nationally accredited. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by less reputable but...

  4. Gaining experience with a baby

    compressionsock replied to unladenswallow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did not go through an ABSN program so I cannot speak to that. I do not know how you score amongst other applicants in terms of your whole GPA however what I can speak to is that a lot of hospitals...

  5. Finding A Job After An Accelerated BSN Program

    compressionsock replied to Tiffanye004's topic in Nursing Career

    Short answer, no. Long answer -- In MOST job markets a BSN is a BSN. There might be an existing stigma around accelerated programs but based on the job market around me, there should not be any...

  6. Help with direct entry MSN personal statement

    compressionsock replied to natalierose02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I sent you a direct message! Let me know if it didn’t go

  7. Psychiatry NP or MD/DO?

    compressionsock replied to ruleighdy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NPs and MDs have a different model of care. I would read about the models of care and choose which most resonates with you. If you are already on the track of MD/DO I would stick with that. There is...

  8. Leaving Education to Pursuing Nursing

    compressionsock replied to Schwabee524's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there, my first degree was in elementary education (taught in a pre-k) and I also went back for nursing. I cannot say you are crazy because that was exactly my path, LOL. Nurses and teachers are...

  9. How do you know nursing is the career for you ?

    compressionsock replied to material gworhl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there, I suggest getting in touch with your advisor and expressing your thoughts to them. If you really do feel stuck then it might help to connect with real life nurses or psychologists and in...

  10. To overcome nursing heebie-jeebies?

    compressionsock replied to angel5000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say get some hands-on clinical experience before you even apply to nursing school (CNA/LNA, med tech, EMT, MA, etc). If you are already averse to the idea of bodily function or perhaps wound...

  11. Help with direct entry MSN personal statement

    compressionsock replied to natalierose02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a new nurse but I also applied for a direct entry doctorate's and got feedback on a statement. I can review something for you if you need, I would also suggest a career center or a mentor...

  12. Pass/No Pass Grading Option Impact on Future Studies

    compressionsock replied to Egarv's topic in School, College Programs

    Before you start thinking about NP/CRNA, get through your nursing school. I know it's hard to not look 5 - 10 years in the future but depending on what kind of NP you want to be you will need to have...

  13. Summer Class Dilemma

    compressionsock replied to MariaAndrea Pizarro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take the pharm if you knew you could do well along with the physiology. I don't know of any programs that require med-term but then again I have only ever applied to two programs. Do well in...

  14. 2019 ATI comprehensive predictor retake

    compressionsock replied to nursehhhhhh's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I took the 2020 one. We were advised not to study for

  15. can you take the NCLEX-PN midway a BSN program ? In NYS

    compressionsock replied to whitecoatandjordans's topic in LPN to RN

    Some states allow this. Find out if your state does. Some schools have it built into their curriculum. I believe you would have had to go through med/surg, pharm, obstetrics and peds before sitting...

  16. Online ABSN

    compressionsock replied to Kriss623's topic in School, College Programs

    https://www.nursing.emory.edu/program-details/distance-accelerated-BSN This is one I randomly stumbled

  17. Need advice. Accept offer from NEIT or wait

    compressionsock replied to bre2006's topic in School, College Programs

    While I don't know the specifics of your programs, I can tell you this: go where you feel that you will have more support. Ask what is the feasibility of working (full or part time) during school....

  18. Adult or Peds?

    compressionsock replied to Immerito's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This really depends on where you want to go in general. If you are using this experience as a stepping stone to be in nursing school then I will say this: wherever you end up working as a CNA is like...

  19. CRNA Programs/Requirements

    compressionsock posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi there, I have been doing extensive research about advanced practice programs and noticed a lot of content is either not free (which makes sense, I understand that) or from the early 2000's and a...

  20. Classes to take in Summer

    compressionsock replied to MariaAndrea Pizarro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take physiology. Most nursing programs (ADN and BSNs alike) offer their own version of pharm or microbio. Anatomy and physiology kind of go hand and hand so I would stick with that. I have...

  21. LPN supplies

    compressionsock replied to futurenurse528's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hi there, it definitely depends on your clinical rotations and what your school requirements are but here is what I got for my LPN school year: clipboard (for taking notes in clinical), note pad,...

  22. Work as a Nursing Assistant For Awhile?

    compressionsock replied to TAS1997's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi there, I do not think you need to necessarily work for five years unless you really want to or have some financial obligation to do so. I know people who have had 3 or 4 months of LNA/CNA...

  23. CAN I APPLY FOR FALL 2024??

    compressionsock replied to LIUDEL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there, I don't entirely understand what your question is...is it about the length of time in taking your prerequisites? I would suggest the following (if you haven't already done so): list out...

  24. NP School - taking a non-bedside role d/t physical limitations?

    compressionsock replied to speedynurse's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hi there, I am not entirely qualified to answer your question as I have not been to NP school however I know that in my area there are multiple FNP/AGNP programs that do not require bedside nursing...

  25. What shoes do y’all love?

    compressionsock replied to Rhys654's topic in General Nursing

    I love cloves! They are non-permeable (to bodily fluids, sharps, etc) and they have laces but do not require tying. I guess it kind of depends on the type of nursing you are going into (ie: if you are...
