How Did a BSN Help Your Career (Or Not)
merry christmas to every one it has always been my dream to obtain my bachelors degree since high school i have been reading previous post and i had tried to get into some bsn programs and didn't get in (c=degree) so i tried another route & got in an lpn program at a community college and i wish i had did that in the first place because it is working out for me but when i do finish i will go back to get my rn from the community college & go back to get my bsn as well it may not be a difference in pay but just knowing that i have accomplished getting my bachelors will be enough for me it will also open some doors for me because i don't think that i will want to be a floor nurse until i retire

Know it all classmates
this is my first semester in nursing school and we have a few of them as well i am a cna and i don't a damn thing i have been a cna for about 15 years but i don't know everything but we have the ones in our class that think that because they were cna's that they do but like the others have said before use them to your advantage since they know so much get them to show you what they do know and if that doesn't work ignore them

What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

Anyone a CNA/nursing assistant b4 an LPN?
I have been a CNA for about 15 yrs and I love it Just like any job it has its days but I think before starting nursing school it will be good experience for anyone to have that CNA experience because it will give you a better understanding and a love for nursing

How soon do you go to get your textbooks??
I will not be able to get my books until the 14th because I receive finanical aid and it is about 12-13 of them
