    RNDreamer replied to 2bnursesim22's topic in General Students

  5. Creating a study schedule

    RNDreamer replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Welcome to nursing school, if you aren't willing to do the work, then leave. I don't know who your pre-req professors were, but it seems that they did you a real disservice by spoon feeding you...

  12. Nurses will do the CNA job

    RNDreamer replied to bongids's topic in General Nursing

  14. What do you need for clinicals?

    RNDreamer replied to guiltysins's topic in New York Nursing

    It may be better to wait until you are in a program before you spend your money on anything. For example, my school requires a LITTMAN steth. In addition, they are loaning us PDAs to use. (Thakfully,...

    RNDreamer replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a 3.1 from my Bach degree when I applied, and I think you would get waived with an AA as well, but I'm not 100% sure. I still had to take the science pre-reqs, of course (I didn't need any of...

    RNDreamer replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing
