Our hospital has a policy where they can call you and tell you that you are "pushed back" until 12. Basically you are at their beck and call for 6 hours of your day, with no pay. They can call you at any given hour until until that 12 and you are e...

I think you should call HR and they can fill you in about salary info. I'm going to guess that you're experienced, so it varies. Right now, the job market in New Orleans is VERY tight. A lot of hospitals are experiencing budget cuts/ hiring freeze...

Age does not have anything to do with getting in. They look mainly at your GPA for the prereqs, your score for your entrance test, and your application essay. Having experience may also be a plus, although most people in my class did not. There we...

I believe that the SON and the state have made some sort of agreement to up their admission in exchange for funding...there is actually more students that are getting in. There is definitely a shortage of instructors. I don't think there is a short...

yes, you can make that much with the WOW program (work on weekend) at childrens..i believe its 44 for night shift and 41 for days but you need 2 years of experience...

My class let in 65 students.the class after me let in about 73..supposedly next year they are letting in 120...i already know first hand..that in my class of about 60somethingish...theres not enough teachers to get quality education! how can they acc...

books do put a hole in your pocket! my advice is to look around for students that in classes above you to sell you their books...they need the extra money and you need the cheaper books...

doesn't pa stand for physician assistant? i thought you had to get a masters for that...am i reading this ad right? physician's assistant-emergency department department: emergency room schedule:full-timeshift:evening & night shifthours:7p-7a. 3p...

I'm currently about to start my clinicals so the I know that its not unusual for the instructors to warn us to always be extra precautious. That I understand. What I don't understand is how it seems that as a RN, I would be responsible for looking ...

im currently in a bsn program right now. i don't believe that there is too much of a diff (if any) in pay. the advantages of having a bsn is that if you decide to go back for your masters, you can apply directly (after obtaining your experience). wit...

I think that if you have the time (program might be longer, altho some BSN is 2 years), and the money (it wasn't too much of a diff for me, CC school was 1000ish and my current school is 1600ish) then go for your BSN. If you latter decide that you w...

For my school, the test was called TEAS...i know of a community college that had to take an entrance test by another name....some schools require, some don't. If your grades are so so you can use it to your advantage by doing better on the test to m...

I think you might have to talk to someone to be sure that your grades 10 years ago would even be considered....if it is, you probally have nothing to worry about...the committee looks at a lot of factors...and as long as they see that you have a posi...

your prenursing gpa is your gpa calculated from your college undergraduate classes. it doesn't really matter if it was at university or cc...although some programs may only accept a certain amout of credit hours from "junior colleges= cc". just be ...

every school is different. talk to a nursing advisor at the other school you may want to apply to.

my insurance wouldn't cover it since i am over 18 unless i was "in danger of getting it". once i told them that i was starting nursing school soon, they agreed that I will be in an environment where i would be expose to it. since i'm getting my sho...

i got tested at my univeristy (theres a health fee thats included in tutition) and it costed me about $27. My test came back negative even though my mom swore i did have chicken pox. Now I need the shots and they're $100 bucks...and you need two of...

I have some questions too. 1. Do you think that it is a good field to pursue if you want to have a family, if so would it be almost impossible to go to school and raise your children? 2. How many hours do most CRNAs work a week, and how often are y...

What field did you pursue or were thinking of pursuing before nursing? Why did you end up choosing nursing?

i also agree with most above. i'm a student too, and i am always anticipating and preparing my next move. while this forum has been very informative, as soon as pay is mentioned, someones always gets sensitive. why do i have to bust my butt in sch...

Is this only a 2 year program, if so, is it for BSN? I'll actually be attending LSU and its a 3 year program.

Hi, I was told that in order to get accepted into the master's program (NP or CRNA), you cannot receive anything lower than a B. Can anyone verify this for me. I won't be starting nursing school until this fall and my ultimate goal would be to fur...

I think your gpa doesn't sound bad at all, but of course, its very competive. take some extra upper level bio classes and work on your application essay. i applied with my friend, and i got in but he didn't. his gpa was considerably higher than mines...

maybe i'm wrong but NP start off as RNs first. over here if you have your associate you would need to go back to school for about 18 months to get your BSN and then apply to NP program. If you already have your BSN you can apply directly to NP prog...
