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 average nurse last about 5 years in the profession ...

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 horrendous.

I've often thought about this very topic, seeing that I am a nursing student as well as a former teacher. I think that the reason why nurses aren't payed more is because it is a female dominated occupation. Fields that have a lot of women, traditiona...

No, your post didn't make it seem like teaching was easy. Thank for the post.

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 up with lesson plans, grade papers, and fill out a...

I'm curious. I've heard about informatics on this board and would like to know what is it?

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 this I mean that they planning on graduating with...

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 get good grades because majoring in nursing is no...

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 involves years of formal training (i.e. school) a...

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 would highly advise against it. It also depends on th...

Thats what I wanted to know. I wanted to know what a DH is as well.

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 since childhood. However, once midway through college...

I got in and will start nursing school in the Spring of 2007.

I'm not on the quarter system, but this is my last semerster as a pre-nursing major. Good Luck with your exam.

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 I'd stopped stalking the school of nursing, I find...

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 time, I would ask around to see which professor has ...

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 and a practical next week. In addition to this we a...

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 classes from your first degree that are needed to comple...

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 accerlerated nursing programs.There are only four accer...

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, PART, time of course) at the local community colle...

.No they are not supporting me. I'm supporting myself through school.

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 skills. You have to use time management skills, organi...

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 BSN I'm not sure if I'm going to make Texas my perm...

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 so.

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 would see me and doubt my intelligence, which woul...
