1. help Low High school Gpa

   ILRN200 replied to MurkNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Raise your GPA in college. Take all the pre-requs you can at a community college, and get a's and b's in all the classes. You can do it. My GPA in high school wasn't the greatest either. The nursing program looked at all my college classes that I had...

2. New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

   ILRN200 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

   There is still a nursing shortage. It WILL be worse than we could ever imagine in a few (maybe 2-3) years. Nurses on the floor know that there is limited help (lab, transporters, RT's.....). I am seeing hospitals lifting the freeze in a few areas (me...

3. New Grad - Offering to Work for Minimum Wage?

   ILRN200 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

   It is better than nothing. Also, it is getting the experience in. Better than a job not in health care. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO END! This is terrible! I think hospitals are going to get a bad push in about a year or so when NO ONE is going to enter nu...

4. Burned out nurse starting over again

   ILRN200 replied to pbirdy's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sorry you are having a hard time finding a job too. I think it is important to remember that there ARE nurses that will do the 12 hour shifts, go back to school etc., many of them have been in nursing for years and "did their time." Healthcare c...

5. SAHM of 2 young kids wants to be a nurse. Realistic?

   ILRN200 replied to bwardrope's topic in General Nursing

   A pro that I saw (as a single mom going through NS) is that they will learn from example how important school is. Also, they will see you doing hard work and the pay off in the end. Thats what I always told myself though school. Good luck!

6. Am I screwed?

   ILRN200 replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Nursing

   No, a education is going to cost money. It needs to be done though. :) I think it would be more rewarding in the long run.

7. too far?

   ILRN200 replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

   well, if your single I guess that is a different story. I agree with the above, you could just rent for a while and see if you like it. Just don't do anything crazy on a whim. City's are nice, I live near Chicago and I think I'd go nuts if I didn't h...

8. too far?

   ILRN200 replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

   I can't tell you what to do. For me, a little while ago I wanted to go to another place too (thought I was in a BAD situation), now I have changed units and am much happier. It seems as thought bing STRESSED out can make me want to change everything ...

9. My GPA is lower than 3.0 are my hopes of becoming crna done?

   ILRN200 replied to pogiboy67's topic in SRNA

   Taking easier classes is not a good way to raise your GPA. This strategy is very well known by universities. It would probably be best to take grad level courses to raise a GPA. Plus, that would be better preparation for CRNA courses (I'm sure ). Edu...

12. how are you paying for nursing school? or how do you plan to pay for nursing school?

    ILRN200 replied to mashamontago's topic in General Students

    ILRN200 replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in General Students

    I did not read too much first sem., Now I read and re-read quite a bit. I hate feeling guilty for not reading something I know i really should. The textbooks are better now I guess!
