    Anyone know of any Associates programs here that don't require pre-requisites

    PMFB-RN replied to nursefan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for her! I wanted the same thing an went and found it. It can't be too hard or several hundred 18 year old high school grads wouldn't be able to manage it each semester. What you are doing is...

    Anyone know of any Associates programs here that don't require pre-requisites

    PMFB-RN replied to nursefan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Florida may be a nice state, however it is among the worst states for nurses. Low pay, poor working conditions, and outrageous and unsafe staffing levels are common there. None of Wisconsin's...

    PMFB-RN replied to nursefan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Obviously. Why point this out? Don't you think it is being a little condescending to point such obvious facts to people who can be expected to be in a position to know these things? And yet hundreds...

    I thought that was obvious and I thought your were perfectly clear. You specifically stated you wanted to avoid pre-reqs. You said noting about avoiding the normal, required

    Frustrated with RN-BSN classes

    PMFB-RN replied to microkate's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    An RN doesn't need a BSN, or any other bachelors degree for that matter, to pursue a masters. To the OP. I feel like I got dumber in my RN to BSN program. All of my friends and coworkers who have done...

    Unrealistic nursing students

    PMFB-RN replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    People who have been there, done that. Great! Welcome! I love to see second career people come to nursing. I am one myself and feel they bring a wonderful diversity to nursing sorely lacking in most...

    Or very doable and common. Or an RN program at an inexpensive public community college. Of course RN programs can be done without basic prerequisites. If the class isn't required BEFORE entrance...

    PMFB-RN replied to nursefan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course a nursing student has to take A&P and Micro among others. However not all programs require them to be completed before you enter the nursing program, thus they would not be

    Anyone know of any Associates programs here that don't require pre-requisites

    PMFB-RN replied to nursefan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, no pre-reqs and finish in two years is very possible. People do it all the time. I searched for exactly such a programs and found 16 of them. However some of those had significant waiting lists,...

    Unrealistic nursing students

    PMFB-RN replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    It's simple. We do so in the hope that others who contemplating making life changing decisions based on unrealistic expectations may learn. Those of us who have been in health care a long time are in...

    Unrealistic nursing students

    PMFB-RN replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    Lawyer/RNs are a dime a dozen. Despite this I have yet to hear of a hospital attorney who was also an RN. What is the evidence that nurses have a problem with nurse LEAVING the bedside? The OP is...

    Unrealistic nursing students

    PMFB-RN replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    Did you read the OP? Nobody is blaming them for having ambitions and wanting to use nursing as a stepping stone. The point of the OP is how unrealistic their goals

    Unrealistic nursing students

    PMFB-RN replied to dnsonthego's topic in General Nursing

    Mark my words. The day will come when hospitals will miss the second career RN who came to nursing from a factory job, enlisted military service, farming, etc. and where very grateful to have a steady...

    Any ADN-BSN programs without ridiculous papers?

    PMFB-RN replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, there wasn't really anything about nursing involved. It was a cultural diversity class and most of the other students were not even

    Do I have what it takes to become a CRNA?

    PMFB-RN replied to cdbranch13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Those who have cautioned you that you may have to spend time working in med-surg before you can get into ICU are right. In fact you might be VERY lucky to even get ANY hospital job after graduation....

    PMFB-RN replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Speaking for myself, I dont' object to writing papers, it's the kind of papers that bothers me. Doing research papers on evidenced based practice issues, or pharm or patho would be fine. The...

    BSN in 6 months?

    PMFB-RN replied to HeartRN90's topic in Western Governors University

    Can I ask what you were doing during those 3 months? You say studying but is that what you were doing? I mean were you writing papers, doing projects, studying for tests? I appreciate your

    PMFB-RN replied to cdbranch13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wish you good luck but honestly I wouldn't worry about it. Getting into CRNA school isn't hard. I have yet to know of any qualified nurse who didn't get in. In addition to the advice you have...

    If we make BSN the entry level degree, we should be paid more

    PMFB-RN replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    *** Yes that is true. However that is a very, very big "if". Maybe what leads to better outcome is experienced nurses who have learned critical thinking and assessment skills through a combination of...

    PMFB-RN replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If a study is going to be used to justify BSN as the only point of entry then it need to compare nurses who entered with a BSN and nurses who entered with an ADN, regardless of subsequent educational...
