Well put.Are you ashamed of being a LPN?While most people don't know what LPN's do, they will recognize the name.Do RN's have to explain what they do?? They simply say "im a RN."

Please shed some light!! What gpa did you have the time you applied and how is the program? What is the school looking for in terms of gpa, test score,etc?

I hear so many people in the Nursing field speaking about how much they hate their career! Do you? why?

What evaluation form? You mean letters of recommendations? I never heard of a "teacher's evaluation form" neither...To apply to Adelphi, you need to fill out the application,send your transcript and letters of recommendation and take the NET exam..Th...

I personally cannot live without makeup.I feel plain and unkept without makeup.It's apart of me.It makes me feel feminine.Will I be able to continue wearing makeup up on the job?

How challenging was it to endure Nursing school while being pregnant? How did you make ends meet? Did you continue with school after your baby was born? Share your story.

How convenient is it ? How burned out do you feel ? Do You, Nurses have to work every other weekend?Finally, how nice does it feel to have 4 days to yourself??! lol .

I just need a little inspiration right now.lol

Why?? Do you find yourself burned out most of the days ?? How much energy do you have left once you go home to your family? Why do you decide to remain a Nurse??

I started out with a passion for Nursing..but after observing many occasions of mislead and unhelped minorities, I became inspired to teach.I really want to inspire these kids.They have so much potential but they're not discovering not even 1/3 of th...

Can I get these positions as a new grad? What specialties work less with blood and vomit and all of the other yucky stuff? I dont mean to sound ignorant or childish, but I just can't handle certain things!

OMG I feel the same way.I will hopefully enter Nursing school next fall.I think I have a pretty good chance this time.So now, im actually reconsidering my decision to become a Nurse b/c of the same issue you are facing! I saw a video on youtube where...

Im not really sure.When is the deadline to apply to the program ? I think you should take the exam before the deadline.Why don't you call them? I think their answer would be more accurate than mine.,Good luck !

Im asking myself if I really want to spend my whole career life encountering blood, needles and vomit on a daily basis.I have the desire to help people , but I just cant help feeling icky when I see blood and smell vomit! Will I get use to it? Do you...

What made the Nursing program a big challenge for you? Did you pick yourself up and apply to another program? What would you have done different if you had the chance to become a 1st year Nursing student all over again?

3 rejection letters, stories of classmates getting into Nursing school , hearing how tough Nursing school is and how mean/nonchalant Nurses are with their patients are making me loose faith in myself and Nursing as a career.I have a pretty good GP...
