Hi, I'm in taking classes right now at the local junior college to get into the RN program. One of the things the counselor told a group of us is that we could get into the licensed psychiatric technician program, and then after graduating that year ...

Print Shop Assistant, Barista at Starbucks, and tutor

A few months ago when I was in precepting, the manager of the unit stopped me in the afternoon one day when my preceptor was talking to me and said "You're a student nurse? This whole time I've been thinking you're one of the new podiatrists." She sa...

I'm a nursing student right now, and I've started looking at things to do once I graduate. One of the things I was looking at was the Peace Corps. I'm guessing it wouldn't be the best thing to just start the Peace Corps as soon as I graduate and take...

What about fraternity guys? I'm a TKE.

I was wondering if anyone in here has worked in any of the British prisons, and if so what its like. I'm also curious how open they are to hiring nurses from other countries.

Delta uses Lodi Memorial, Sutter Tracy, Kaiser Manteca, Doctors Hospital Manteca, San Joaquin County Hospital, and St. Joseph's in Stockton. After the first semester, the only clinical sites are St. Joes, County, and Lodi.

No problem at all.Physio at delta may be hard, but the hard work really pays off in the end. It's very good prep for pharmacology. A lot of the Delta nursing students took nursing at other colleges, and a lot of them aren't doing as well in pharm. My...

Hi F4Mom. I don't have too much advice for prereqs other than what I put on here already. I took Adamson for physio and Solomowitz for psychology and I really suggest them. When the prereqs are all done but before you've gotten in, try taking HS 3. I...

Are there any groups that nursing students can volunteer with to go abroad?

I mean accelerated ways of getting a bachelors or masters in nursing if you have a bachelors in another field and an associates in nursing. All of the programs for nursing I've seen in the area are a minimum of two years, like the associates program....

Hey Hapi, I'm in Stockton. The only two schools I know of in the immediate area offering BSNs are Sac State and CSU Stanislaus in Stockton. I finished my BA and I'm starting an ADN program right now. I still had to take all of the prereqs, but there ...

Nursejewels, despite taking that long, was the process itself very easy? And did you look for a job first, or start the visa process?

I saw on the UC Davis website that their medical school has a FNP program that is done with a PA program, and if you're in the FNP program and take a few extra classes, they'll give you the PA certificate of completion as well. This doesn't make much...

I thought the programs were different. They have different admission requirements for each program, and they say RNs have the option of getting certified as PAs. Do you know anyone whos gotten both? I'm just really curious how that works out, if they...

Just another US to AUS question, can you only make the move as an RN, or can NPs and other types of nurses apply for registration as well?

When I saw chocolate poppy's post it made me wonder, is it any easier for non-EU nurses to get jobs outside of England? Like in Scotland, Northern Ireland of Wales? Just wondering if there are any places even in England that are more willing to hire ...

I've been to a bunch of the nursing school websites, and I've seen that you can become a Family Nurse Practitioner, or a Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, etc, but I've looked on a couple of other websites and seen people describe themselves as "Adult N...

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. Are there any restrictions though? I mean I figured a family NP wouldn't be able to do the job a psychiatric and mental health NP could. And are there any programs that actually train you for different work areas li...

I was wondering about the Band 7 and band 8 nurse positions that are still on the list. I tried looking it up online, but I'm still not sure what it is. Are those positions that you would have to apply for like management positions, or do they have s...

I hadn't heard about this before and had to google it. It looks like the APA is up in arms over this too, has anyone else heard more about it?

I just got accepted to the local associate degree program, and I think all of the programs here in California use a formula to decide who gets in. They take all of your GPAs and come out with a percent and the higher ones get in. Unfortunately, despi...

What ABA model? You mean that lawyers obtain JDs, but don't go by the term doctor? Maybe we should ask physicians to go by that model. Both are first professional degrees. The National Science Foundation has even gone so far as to say MDs aren't equi...

I'm in the same boat as a lot of you. I got a BA in religion and I'm in nursing school right now. I know the University of San Francisco has an ADN to MSN program, and that's what I'm thinking of doing after this. It will probably be a little more ex...

Just to throw in my , I think doctor should be used by people with a DNP. I see no problem with someone calling themselves a doctor as long as they say what kind they are. It seems like most of the med students in here are arguing against it saying t...
