  1. Is nursing really that stressful?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to dslite's topic in General Nursing

    dslite, thank you for starting this thread. I'm the same age as you, and have been thinking the exact same

  2. Anyone get a C in A&P?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm...but still wondering what it is that you think got her in. Usually BSN programs (at least the one's I've researched) heavily factor in

  3. WOO HOO ! The semester is over!

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Scooter5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Today was our final exam in A & P II, but I still haven't quite captured that sense of "it's over" yet. We already got the results of our test, and I got a 87% (mind you, that was with 7 extra...

  4. Anyone get a C in A&P?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which program was that? I thought those programs were really competitive...wonder what made your friend stand

  5. What if I don't get in???

    WantAccel.BSN replied to mzahnow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I worry a lot about that too. I'm kind of putting the majority of my eggs in one basket, as I'm getting ready to move back to my home town where they only have 1 Accelerated BSN program that only...

  6. Should I really be a nurse?

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I really feel like this is the right path for me, but, being a second degree student, I really want to be sure. I've got some general experience in the nursing world, having worked about 2 years in...

  7. Should I really be a nurse?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. We had that too (written and practical tests). If I remember correctly, if you failed, you had to wait a certain amount of time to retake it. But everyone passed eventually. Whether or not they...

  8. Improving chances to be accepted

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Loverunning's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on the place where you are applying, as to what will increase your chances of getting in. Volunteer experience in the medical world, however, usually is looked upon pretty positively...

  9. Should I really be a nurse?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the recommendations. I have been attempting to do research for quite some time now, but would openly welcome being pointed to some particularly telling stuff, if anyone knows exactly where...

  10. Should I really be a nurse?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Gomer- I think there has been a long and ongoing debate on this one. I have read some threads about it on this site. Personally, I felt I was equipped to do it, but I certainly agree that it probably...

  11. Should I really be a nurse?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I just noticed the error. "kidness" is "kindness." Opps. I miss the edit

  12. 33 years old and starting over

    WantAccel.BSN replied to MisaChickaBea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also just wanted to say hi. I guess I'm "only 26," but I understand where you all are coming from. Sometimes I feel a little judged about making this career shift. I also occasionally get freaked that...

  13. Education Requirements for NPs

    WantAccel.BSN replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, will current NPs be "grandfathered in," or will they be required to obtain the additional licensure/education? Again, thanks for the info.! Certainly helps in trying to make education/career...

  14. Education Requirements for NPs

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I just read someone's comment on another website indicating that NPs will be required, by the year 2011, to have doctorate degrees (Ph.Ds) to practice. I assume that this may be true, but it is...

  15. A funny story.

    WantAccel.BSN replied to CNAfromNC's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thanks. That was a good laugh. Guess the driving force of a man doesn't really ever go

  16. Overworked student lonely on Thanksgiving

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey guys. So I've been working my butt off at work, and when I'm not doing that, I'm ALWAYS studying, or trying to keep my house clean, or, on the rare occasion, trying to spend a minute with my...

  17. Overworked student lonely on Thanksgiving

    WantAccel.BSN replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's my experience, almost exactly. Been in my area about 2 1/2 years, and often find myself piggybacking off of my husband's friendships. I'm hoping I'll make some friends in nursing

  18. Please post your location in your profile

    WantAccel.BSN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't tell you the number of times someone has said something in a post that is likely specific to their area, and it would really help if people would post their location. This is probably stupid,...

  19. choosing a specialty and personality type?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to TRousse's topic in Nursing Career

    This is an old thread, I know, but this is my personality type too, and I wondered if you could shed some light on any niche that you might have found, by this point. Thanks!!

  20. NC Nurse Salary

    WantAccel.BSN replied to ssanders80's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Would you share what hospital you are at, or at least what area of NC?

  21. Applying to ABSN at UNC advice

    WantAccel.BSN replied to sydneydigsby's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I live in NC, and have had the opportunity, not too long ago, to talk to someone that had been rejected. She said that the school told her it was because she didn't have any volunteer experience. I've...

  22. Curving in A&P

    WantAccel.BSN replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow! I thought our exam averages were low (in the low 70s). No real extra credit, save for an extra credit question on the last two exams (not on the first one, though). However, this last exam's EC...

  23. Hospital based RN?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to lilbrawler's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a program connected to Duke University Hospital. It is called "Watts School of Nursing." I believe the term for these programs is a "diploma program." From what I understand, this means that...

  24. Hiring freezes, cut backs?

    WantAccel.BSN replied to Floridanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I just talked to my Mom, who is a hospice nurse in Vegas. She said that her hospice is requiring that all of the nurses volunteer to not come in at least one of their shifts per pay period. I'm not...

  25. Acclerated BSN

    WantAccel.BSN replied to kimmy611's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In terms of paying for school, I researched hospitals in the area I wanted to practice in, and made some contacts. One of the local hospitals will pay for school up to $5,000, including books. You...
