I have a question about nursing. I am currently an elemenatary school teacher who has been accepted to Nursing School for Spring 2007. I read an old article in "Times Magazine", that stated that the...
I don't think nursing school is responsible for the nursing shortage. I think that the problem lies with poor working conditions. The attrition rate for nursing is
Please, don't take this the wrong way because I'm not trying to get into a who has a harder job debate, but teaching takes up a lot of your time, especially if you are a new teacher. You have to come...
I just wanted to get some thoughts on this. There are a number of people who are entering the BSN program with me in the Spring who plan on using their degree as a "springboard" for medical school. By...
As I said before I know that as an undergrad you can major in anything. (I think I probably should have flushed out my post more) There seems to be the misconception that obtaining a BSN its easier to...
I agree with the OP nurses, are "professionals", just like teachers. You just can't walk into a hospital or clinic and magically become a nurse. In addition to being a physically demanding job nursing...
It really depends on the type of student that you are. If you decide to work, whether it's part-time or full time, you have to manage your time wisely. If you are not good at managing your time, I...
Hi, I'm currently working on obtaining my BSN in nursing. Before this degree, I pursued a BA in education. I thought that I wanted to be a teacher. After all it was something that I'd wanted to do...
I got my letter today (and from my first choice yeah!!!). I had gotten tired of checking the mail and calling the schools to ask when do they send out their acceptance/rejection letters. Finally when...
Take Chem first. I took Chem, A&P 1, A&P 2 (during the summer over 5 weeks span.) and am currently in Micro. It really depends on the student and the professor. If you want to take two at a...
Thanks for starting this post. After taken Anatomy 2 this summer, (Thank God thats over) I thought that Micro would be fairly easy. However, I was wrong. It is so difficult. We just had a test today...
Like someone else stated it varies. However you will have two GPA's. Your GPA might go up or down depending on the formula the school uses to tabulate your score. Usually schools will count the...
Hi, I hope this is not to much off topic, but a lot of people who have answered my post have degrees from accerlerated BSN programs. I like to thank everyone who replied to my post who mentioned...
I know that that was a joke and meant as such, but I feel that I must clarify some things. I've been a teacher for about three and a half years. Prior to this year I had been taking my prereqs (part,...
I am a first year nursing student and work part time. I know some students ( one really) who work full time and go to school, while others don't work at all and drop out. It depends on your study...
Hi, I'm graduating from a nursing program soon. Although I am from California I decided to go to school in Texas because my family is originally from here. When I graduate from nursing school with a...
BTW sorry for the use of income instead of salary in the thread's title. I've tried to change it, but since I'm not being tech savvy I was unable to do
I wanted to quit nursing school because it takes me a longer time to catch on to things that others seem to grasp quickly. I wanted to quit nursing school because for some reason people in my classes...
