I am interested in learning more about Chamberlan in the Houston area and if they will accept transfer credits. Also, I am looking at HBU as well. Anyone have any advice? Thanks, Sc

Thanks in advance for answering my questions. So, I took SCIT 1407 & 1408 thinking I was going to do the 2 year ADN program. I then decided that I would rather focus on getting my BSN. I have contacted several 2 year schools and several 4 year...

Thanks!

No offense to anyone out of state, but we have enough nurses in TX that are vying for nursing jobs here. There are many GNs competing for internships and experienced RNs looking for jobs too. I know that our Governor has said that we are #1 on job ...

So, if there is a nursing shortage then why is it that nursing grads can't seem to get a job or have to wait months for a job. Also, I am really disturbed by the fact that Obama wants to bring foreign nurses to the U.S. to fill the so called shortag...

I keep hearing on here that you should get your CNA certification first. Has anyone done that or are you thinking about it? Why or why not? Also, are you doing the BSN route or are you doing ADN? I have a school right down the road from me that i...

So I have been a member on allnurses for a while. I am a native Texan and have been contemplating what it is I want to do with my life for a long time now. I have owned a couple of business (small and not very lucrative) and learned a lot, but ther...

Miss Julie, thanks for you reply. I talked to TVCC nursing program adviser and I brought up some interesting questions. I told him it looks like employers are wanting to hire BSN instead of ADNs and he said he agreed with me. He also said that if...

earthcrosser, thank you for your honesty. I really appreciate it. Nursing is not my passion teaching is, but that is in a dance team setting. I need to make some money so I have a lot to think about. Thanks again! sc

Wow n87934 that was an amazing post. Are you sure you are not supposed to be a motivational speaker. Thank you everyone for the responding. I have a lot to think about. I feel that I would be able to find a job quicker with nursing than with teach...

Thanks for responding. I do have a few college credits. I will be beginning a few pre-reqs in the spring. There is a school down the road from me that offers an ADN program. If I go the education route I would be looking at 4 to 5 years and then ...

I can't make up my mind what the heck I should do. Seriously you guys here is my issue. I am torn between nursing or PT. I love the PT aspect of things, but at the same time I like the challenge of nursing. I am just not sure which way to go. Si...

I re-read it and I was stand corrected. However, it is still scary. I mean what is going to happen to the profession. I want to go into nursing for 3 reasons. 1. Job security (who knows now though) 2. Pay 3. All the options it offers I guess thes...

I was gonna post the same sort of reply. I agree with MaxAttack. I chose peace though. :)

Never mind...not worth even typing..lol.

Ok, I am working on pre-reqs for ADN nursing school. I decided to get into the CNA class to get some experience and also work part time while in school. My hope is to work for a hospital for the experience. Anyway, today I completely felt like a t...

Ok, I was just awarded a stafford loan and I have never taken one out before. In the Spring of 08 my plan is to get my CNA cert and work part time while attending full time to school for pre reqs for nursing. I have an F on my transcript for Tx Pol...

Hey just found this thread and wanted to add. I am not yet a nurse, but a pre-nursing student. I have taught ballet, tap, jazz, dance aerobics, balletone etc. for a few years now. I got burnt out and tired of teaching so I decided to pursue nurs...

Thanks

How long did it take you? Did you go back to school right away or wait and work a little? Thanks for answering all of my questions. sc

When you started out did you say you were a CNA? I plan on going over all the videos and practicing the practice skills but as far as taking a course or class I am not sure if I want to spend the extra money on it. Did you go directly to LVN/LPN to...

Seriously it is not a requirement. They recommend it but it is not mandatory. Do you think it is needed to start LVN school? thanks sc

Well, they are telling us that we do not have to have our CNA license. I can start the Vocational nursing class this summer. Do you still think I should get the CNA license? Thanks, sc

Well, I dropped the course for now. I just couldn't give it 100% so I decided to not continue. I am either going to retake it next semester, or just go for my LVN license and then my RN. Should I take this if I am going to do the LVN program? Than...
