  1. Considering Leaving my short-lived nursing career-Computer Science?

    ProgressiveThinking posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hello all, I guess this is a long post of me ranting more than anything else, but I really would appreciate some advice. I am an LPN. I pretty much did my LPN to become an RN. After waiting a...

  2. Nursing Vs Computer science..

    ProgressiveThinking replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    I hear that. It seems like everything is getting outsourced, which is partially why I chose nursing in the first place. Any major that's not healthcare related quite honestly scares me because it's...

  3. Nursing Vs Computer science..

    ProgressiveThinking replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    I have a buddy who works in IT, and a buddy who works in software engineering. They make it seem like there are plenty of jobs if you have your certifications or an internship. I was told worst-case...

  4. Cal-State Fullerton vs Cal-State Dominguez Hills

    ProgressiveThinking posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hello! Overall, which school is better? I plan on chipping away at my RN-BSN degree as soon as I finish my RN. CSUDH has an online RN-BSN program which is really convenient, and they allow you to work...

  6. Do you think the job market for nurses will improve by the time you graduate?

    ProgressiveThinking replied to AtACrossRoads's topic in General Students

    That's an excellent point. More and more nurses will retire, and hopefully less and less people will be attracted to the field of nursing for awhile d/t lack of jobs(although this is not likely). I...

  8. Which is best for CRNA?

    ProgressiveThinking replied to talknw's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Getting your FNP before your CRNA seems a little counterproductive doesn't it? Why not just go straight into CRNA school is that's what you ultimately want to

  9. Is Loma Linda better than CSU San Bernardino?

    ProgressiveThinking replied to kalimuse's topic in General Nursing

    No problem. An even cheaper route is community college. That's what I'm doing! ADN, then hopefully BSN. It is good to get your BSN right out of the way though if you can, Good

  10. Lawyer to Nurse

    ProgressiveThinking replied to layne228's topic in Nursing Career

    WOW. I was actually considering trying to eventually get into a law school. After doing some research, it seems like unless you went to a really good tier 1 school(correct me if I'm wrong), it's hard...

  11. Is Loma Linda better than CSU San Bernardino?

    ProgressiveThinking replied to kalimuse's topic in General Nursing

    If money is not an issue, Loma Linda is the better choice. Their professors are really willing to help you. Both Loma Linda and CSUSB have mediocre NCLEX pass rates, and from what I've heard, both...

  13. Im proud to be an LPN !

    ProgressiveThinking replied to Loveuandme's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah! Fellow LVN here!! I did it as a stepping stone for my RN, but I definitely have to say that my initial perception of LVNs has changed. I was part of the uninformed public, and thought LVNs were...

  14. What to do while waiting!!

    ProgressiveThinking replied to Quixotic's topic in General Students

    Hey man..I'm in the exact same boat as you! Got sidelined waiting for a semester (HOPEFULLY only 1 semester) for my LVN to RN. I don't even want to work as a LVN, but at this point a paycheck is a...

  17. Radiography vs. Nursing

    ProgressiveThinking replied to KKB243's topic in General Nursing

    I had this dilemma. I changed my major about 4 times before sticking with nursing. Initially, I was attracted to rad tech because my aunt is one and for the most part it is not a very stressful job....

  18. Percent of Men in Graduating Class?

    ProgressiveThinking replied to BusinessGrad's topic in Men in Nursing

    Of the 60 in my LVN graduating class, 14 were men. I'm hoping this number increases when I start the RN bridge program. My cousin's school had 120 RN grads and over 30% were men. We're in southern...

  23. Nurse performs tracheotomy

    ProgressiveThinking replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in General Nursing

    ProgressiveThinking replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Lack of male role models huh? As a student myself, I personally look at this as a challenge to be a role model for the males entering the profession. I was also pretty discouraged about nursing...
