Hi! I am 37 years old and I would like to get my BSN because I do not want to have go back to school once I get my RN Degree. I am the prerequisite coursework for a BSN, but I amy have to do a ADN because I am having trouble with the Intermediate Algebra I like math, but it does not like me. I started off not having a good foundation before I entered into college. I am plan to take courses that will transfer into both degree programs and try to take the Intermediate Algebra and Statistics in a semester or two. I am hoping to at least get my ADN. Though I may struggle academically I believe that I have the potential to become a RN. I am sorry that I sound and frustrated. Am I the only one who struggles academically ( exspecally math)with certain courses in this community? Good Luck To Everyone. Carmen

Hi! Everyone: I am not trying to pass judgement, accuse anyone of anything or trying to cause a stirr. I am just asking questions,giving my oppion and asking for feedback. As a Pre-Nursing Major and I have posted several times to ask questions about the different area of nursing that are of interest to me. I came across the question about Nurses Diverting Drugs?. I was wondering if this topic is discussed in nursing school at any length? And if it is not Why? And no any of you think it should be? When I had considerd going to school for LPN the topic was mentioned during the pre-admission interview but not at length. I just do not understand and I cannot believe that any nursing student who worked so hard at getting into nursing school or a nurse would even consider doing such a thing. I am working so hard with my pre-requitsites for nursing school that I would not risk my nursing license for anybody or anything. I live in the city and there is drugs on almost every street corner and I live in an apt building with a bunch of "cokeheads" I cannot stand it. Unfortunetly because of my financial situation I have to stay put for now. I feel very sad for any nurse who either comes into the profession already addicted or who becomes addicted once they are working in it. Does anyone think that if the issue of drug abuse among nurses is stressed more in nursing school that it may help future nurses from becoming addicted? IS there a requirement for nursing schools to do drug tests of their applicants?. I am not saying this to weed out anyone potenally good nurses, but it will allow the student to try and rehabilitate themself with the promise of entering nursing clean and sober without risking the lives of patients and their license. I know there are facilities that have drug testing for their employees and the repercussions for drug use varies by each work place, but what are the rehabilitation options for nurses once they are found out to be diverting drugs?
