    3rdgenRN2B replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    NCC (here in CT) has a part-time evening program. That's what I'm aiming for. Yes, with completing pre and co-reqs first and then doing the clinicals it will take me a whopping 4 years to finish but...

    I need help finding a good school on the east coast!

    3rdgenRN2B replied to ad0rkable287's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    New York City has some of the best hospitals around so I'm thinking there must be some incred. nursing programs there too. I personally can't go there because I work full time and had a baby but if...

    I found out I was pregnant the week after I registered for the fall (prereqs) last year. I ended up taking the year off. Mainly because I wasn't sure how I'd feel, and I ended up being pretty sick....

    LPN or RN

    3rdgenRN2B replied to phillies's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I've heard RN's do make considerably more than LPN's. The schooling is longer but not only will your salary be higher but you'll have more options as far as where you can

    Will I be too old for nursing school?

    3rdgenRN2B replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    How hard is intro to chemistry?

    3rdgenRN2B replied to Trose84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I think Chem sucked. However, it is necessary. So the best piece of advice I can give is to study hard, pay attention, and finish so you never have to do it

    Can't let it go!

    3rdgenRN2B replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't listen to people. You'll be the one doing the job, not them. It's your life, not theirs. Responses like those just show how ignorant people can really be. Being a nurse and being a dr. are so...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to Susanna23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm kinda surprised they made you use matches. We had this little thingy that you squeezed and it created a spark. I can't tell you how may attempts it took for me to get that darn thing to light....

    I would probably take sociology with A&P...I tried a philosophy class (not required but thought it would be interesting) and I dropped it in the first week. Then again, the professor is sort of a...
