  2. How many hours per week do you work?

    akanini replied to spicychickensandwich's topic in General Nursing

    LMAO!!! "Don't do it for the money." ...Why do people work? For money. Surely noone on this board works as a nurse to not get paid right? If that were the case, we would become volunteers. Nursing is...

  3. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    akanini replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Well I've always been the one to help people and I was doing social work. However, because I want to eventually leave the city I live in, I felt I needed a more marketable

  4. INfo for LVN to BSN at indiana state university?

    akanini replied to Kashia's topic in Online Distance Learning

  9. LPN starting RN school spring '09

    akanini replied to BabyNurse_PJN's topic in LPN to RN

    From what the OP is saying, she is concerned about school because she has never worked as a LPN. I think that's what I got from the post. If this is correct then her learning by practicing was/is not...

  10. LPN to BSN in Long Island, NY

    akanini replied to trixi24kids's topic in LPN to RN

    Suny Downstate is accelerated and the OP said she couldn't do that. Her best bet may be Molloy or Adelphi because she can take her time. If OP doesn't mind coming into Brooklyn, LIU has a 2 year...

  16. Im so sad. I need to get into a LPN or RN program ASAP. Student at BMCC.

    akanini replied to FutureRNelizabeth's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm assuming you are talking about Cochran tabrown. According to the site, you must have a lab component with the exam. Is that so? I guess this school won't fit me because it's 2 years. They don't...

  20. As a clg graduate, am I stupid for pursuing a ASN and not MSN?

    akanini replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    When you get the ADN, many doors will open for you to get into aMSN program for people with a bachelors in another field. Then you can take your time and work as a RN while doing

    akanini replied to karibo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, check out College of New Rochelle. LIU has a 2 year program if you have the pre-reqs. I think Adelphi and Suny Downstate (15 months) should be checked out also. I have a BA in another field and...
