   averna replied to averna's topic in General Students

   I'm looking at some accelerated BSN programs... where I can get my RN in less than 2 years. I was originally thinking about a direct entry master's program, but I think it would be more beneficial for...

   I think you need to be a little bit more specific. Also: LOL @rhonda .... hiLARious

7. These Pre-reqs... are making me nuts!

   averna replied to averna's topic in General Students

   Yeah... at this point, I'm thinking that there's no way I can work and take those pre-reqs part time, unless I want to start nursing school in like 2012. If I can just quit my job, take out a loan,...

8. These Pre-reqs... are making me nuts!

   averna posted a topic in General Students

   These pre-reqs for these nursing programs are driving me nuts. For most programs, I need the basics: Anatomy, Physiology, Stats, Chem, and Microbiology. Some of the programs also need Nutrition, or...

   averna replied to nurselsteele's topic in General Nursing

   This is an awesome thread... I'm going to be in nursing school in a year or two, and I've just pretty much resigning myself to the fact that co-workers, instructors, and my fellow students are all...

10. Registe (red) Nurse

    averna replied to RedWeasel's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE that idea. Although then you'd have a bunch of random people walking around with "registered nurse" written on their shirts. I feel like that's a weird, bad lawsuit waiting to happen. "She...

    Any site moderators/admins/allnurses members who want to see this in action - see if you can access the forums at Ravelry.com. It's a knitting community website, and you can click different buttons on...

12. I hate nursing

    averna replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    You started nursing school because you were "bored"? I'm trying really hard here to understand, and to not offend anyone. But that in itself just makes me speechless. I think you need to rethink what...

13. So you all hate nursing?.....

    averna replied to averna's topic in General Students

    See, that's where I thrive. Right now I work in a library, and we just sit here. Things are so slow. Honestly? I liked WAITRESSING more than this, despite the weird hours and the being on your feet...

14. So you all hate nursing?.....

    averna replied to averna's topic in General Students

    Gotcha. I'm trying to get a good perspective on what it will *really* be like. I think that I have had a sort of rosie colored view on what it could be like, and reading these forums and others has...

15. So you all hate nursing?.....

    averna posted a topic in General Students

    ...or that's what it seems. I know that a lot of these forums offer a place for nurse to vent anonymously. That's totally cool - it's important to have a place to let some steam go. It's healthy. But...
