  1. Looking for a part-time job as a pre-nursing student

    xpinchx posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm finishing up my B.S. degree and I'm going to have about a year off before I start my accelerated B.S.N. program and I'm trying to get a job in a hospital and having some trouble. I've been working...

  2. Should I finish my bachelor's before I start nursing school?

    xpinchx posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a 5th year senior Human Bio major with pre-med intentions and I decided this year that medical school isn't the path for me. I originally started out school as pre-nursing and after 5 years I've...

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the reply, I'll get to the meat of it when I have more time to think about everything you said, but I just want to let it be known nursing school wasn't decided on a whim for me. It was my...

  4. Should I finish my bachelor's before I start nursing school?

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    Either way I will lose federal financial aid because right now I'm in my 10th semester and federal fin aid will only cover 12 semesters. Plus if I switch to a standard BSN I will be in school for...

  5. Should I finish my bachelor's before I start nursing school?

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    So you're doing an associate's degree in nursing? That's another option I guess. I'm so confused now... I could put my bachelors on hold and get my ADN (14 months at lansing CC) and finish up the...

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, but then I can't get accepted into the program w/o a Bachelors degree. There's just no way to win, is

  7. Should I finish my bachelor's before I start nursing school?

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    This is good info as well. Maybe I'll take this summer off... That will leave me with about a semester's worth of classes that I could take (and pay for) once I get my BSN. I'll try to get it all...

  8. Should I finish my bachelor's before I start nursing school?

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    The main ones I'm missing are developmental psychology and nutrition, I'm taking both of those next semester. I have a feeling that I was going to sign up for a couple others in the summer but my desk...

    Crap! I just realized that you're right! I guess I missed the fine print on that one... Wow thanks for the insight. I probably won't be working at McDonalds (lol!) but I will probably pick up more...

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    whoops! i was thinking one thing and typing another, i meant months and i edited it accordingly.i think 90% of being burned out has to do with working so hard towards something that seems to have...

  11. Deciding between RN vs PA vs MD

    xpinchx posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is sort of an adendum to my previous thread. I've gotten a lot of new suggestions and I have a new set of questions that I think warrants a new thread. Here's the previous if you want to flip...

  12. Deciding between RN vs PA vs MD

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I got more than I bargained for. I wanted advice on nursing and I got advice on life. Thanks for the kind words, Jim. What are you talking about, I've barely been here a week and I have 7 posts....

    xpinchx posted a topic in General Nursing

    [sorry, this got a little wordy. If you just want to cut to the case skip to paragraph 3.] Or technically I guess I should say switching "back" to nursing since that was my original goal but somewhere...

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    For all those recommending the PA route, why choose that over something like NP or CRNA? My original plan when I first got to college was to do CRNA.. Also I'm at a stage in my life where I'm simply...

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    Dude I hear you about being burned out. I have 15 credits next semester and 11 I'm going to take care of during the summer (mostly gen eds to fulfill 120 credits required for graduation.) I honestly...

    xpinchx replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    it might be easier to answer "where don't you see yourself in five years?" i definitely don't see myself working 80 hours a week for 3 more years before i can make enough money to put food on the...
