  1. Bad Prereq Grades

    NRSNFL replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP- I say retake them. I am, however it's because I originally took them my freshman year in college 11 years ago. Chances are if I go for a BSN or MSN, I will need more current grades. Plus, I am...

  2. Rejection/Waitlist

    NRSNFL replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have applied to an LPN program at a local community college. I also found out the bridge for LPN-RN is not competitive so I've decided to go that route. The unfortunate thing is...those who are...

  3. Has anyone heard of this?

    NRSNFL replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's possible, my only concern is by them not allowing a transfer of your credits is just another way to make money off of you HOWEVER, you have to do what you have to do. I wish you all the luck in...

  4. NET exam question???

    NRSNFL replied to RNsoon!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN- Yes there are a ton more threads.....but to answer your question.....I scored in the 98th percentile. Some are all computer based, some are not depending upon your school. Your best bet is to...

  5. For those of you with kids/night shift

    NRSNFL posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    What do you do with your children if you work the midnight shift. My husband will also be getting his RN however his employer already told him they will retain him if possible for nurse consultant...

  6. Advice needed... NH or MA? (new grad)

    NRSNFL replied to MuddaMia's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is how it works. For example, my hospital offers 2.25 on the evening shift (3-11, which is why I am working right now) and on the weekends, only a $1 more....so a total of 3.25 more per...

  7. For those of you with kids/night shift

    NRSNFL replied to NRSNFL's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    You'd hope so, but he will also be an RN and possibly will work hospital nursing....so ideally he will have a 9-5 but you know how ideally works out

  8. Advice needed... NH or MA? (new grad)

    NRSNFL replied to MuddaMia's topic in General Nursing

    MUDD- What did you finally decide on. You know, the closer the fall gets (my FAVORITE SEASON) I get more and more homesick. My question is, for all your nurses out there, how do you handle family...

    NRSNFL replied to Trixie21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey 40- you said in another post you did okay, but not awesome..what did you score if you don't mind me asking. The reason I ask, my husband said the same thing and did a great job (we went...

  10. considering EMT school before nursing school

    NRSNFL replied to paccookie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely think you should go for it. I think the experiences you obtain just through job performance alone are reason enough and I also like the idea of studying and getting paid for it (I can do...

  11. What would you do?

    NRSNFL replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely contact the professor. Additionally, if you ever go to another school...and you retake this class, they may only AVERAGE the two grades rather than replace the new one over the...

  12. What would you do?

    NRSNFL replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Day- Remind me not to apply to work in your department. Someone not being able to drop a class does not equate lack of responsibility for patient care.

  13. Rejection/Waitlist

    NRSNFL replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely think I should have taken some classes over the summer to keep me occupied. My job is super boring (in fact, 5 hours have passed and I've gotten 2 phone calls) it really is the perfect...

  14. any advice...

    NRSNFL replied to Ejae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just my thoughts, I experienced the same thing....so my game plan was to retake the courses I need to bring up (I'm taking them all this semester) AND applying to LPN schools that don't require me to...

  15. Seriously contemplating becoming an LPN....

    NRSNFL replied to illuminate's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am going for my LPN first and then will bridge to RN and then after that my BSN...this way I can go step by step over time....and work and make money all the

  16. Rejection/Waitlist

    NRSNFL replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. I cried for about 1 day 2. I faxed my application for this spring 3. I applied to 2 other schools AND an LPN program so that I can get the ball rolling by this Jan...the LPN-RN programs are...

  17. Should I do it?

    NRSNFL replied to jpaschen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jp she was quoting someone else. re-read her question...it was to allthingsbright. Anyhow, it sounds like quite the conundrum. I would keep following up with school and really panic after the...

  18. Next Step

    NRSNFL replied to NurseT17's topic in Florida Nursing

    Galen is 14k per year...the first year is LPN and then the second year is LPN-RN, technically they are two different programs. AND if you have any pre-reqs like micro/a&P/nutrition done...you'll...

  19. people who work full time

    NRSNFL replied to deener618's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work 40-60 hours a week, HOWEVER my job is BORING and depending upon the day/shift/hour can be doing NOTHING and my boss totally supports me studying at work, and I'm taking my classes over online....

  20. Has anyone taken the Net exam???

    NRSNFL replied to RNsoon!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NRSNFL replied to nicistarr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great job diddle....what are you doing up this time of night. I think students shouldn't allow themselves to be intimidated about these tests. That is partly why they are

  22. A mom feeling guilty...

    NRSNFL replied to reese19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there, so many of us resonate your same feelings of guilt. But you know what, with a small sacrifice think of it this way, when you are older and those kids have baseball games/football games and...

  23. 2 Year Track Nursing

    NRSNFL replied to a0493261's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP- You have two options...... 1. Apply to an associates program (a true 2 year program) at a community college and then bridge to an BSN at a university after you are an RN, a less competitive...

  24. Did not pass the NET

    NRSNFL replied to nicistarr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey all...I took the NET test today at my school here in Florida...and wanted to give you my personal appraisal of the process. Firstly, I scored in the 98th percentile, so I ROCKED THAT TEST!!!...

    NRSNFL replied to RNsoon!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students
