Hi everyone, I was talking to my aunt who is an FNP, but she mostly teaches and does research. She was telling me that FNP's make 80k-90k a year and that FNP's are going to be really in demand when health care reform kicks in. I told her I wanted to...

Hi everyone! I wasn't sure where to post this, but I'm just curious if anyone on here used to be a respiratory therapist and is now an RN. I graduated recently and respiratory therapy is just okay, but I really want to be a nurse. I know its not an e...

Sorry I dont know where to post this exactly. I want a job in health care while I finish up my degree program. I was about to sign up for a phlebotomy program until I did my research and learned that its very hard for people to find jobs. So I was th...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I was about to pay $876 for a CNA certification. I definitley want to be a patient care technician. Do only vocational/technical schools offer PCT training? Also should PCT's get certified?

Hi everyone. I didn't know where to post this on here, but I'm looking for a part time job while I'm in school full time. Sorry I posted this on another forum on here, but no one answered so I figured since there are students on here maybe someone c...

Hi everyone. I didn't know where to post this on here, but I'm looking for a part time job while I'm in school full time. I'm not going to school for nursing anymore since that didn't work out. So I'm in school getting a B.S in cardiovascular technol...

Im glad to see you are so excited. Well really you should just take A&P II on the summer since it does build on the knowledge you acquired in A&P I. Plenty of people have taken A&P II over the summer and have gotten As. If you work hard y...

I agree with some of the other posters on here. You need at least a 3.5 minimum thats how competitive it is. So many people are wanting to get into nursing. Schools will say their minimum GPA to apply to their program is a 2.75 or 3.0, but in reality...

Is there any way to get the TEAS study guide for cheaper than $88? Also I have been studying for the SAT test and I was wondering if that would be sufficient studying material for the TEAS or is it a must that I buy the TEAS study guide?

What??!! Its $110 just to register to take the test??????????

I'm just curious.

Hi everyone, Im waiting to get into a nursing program and I want to work as a CNA while I wait. The cheapest CNA program I have found in my area is $675. I dont have that kind of money and Im wondering would it would be worth it to go to my credit un...

Hi, does anyone know where I can buy a TEAS study guide?? I looked on Barnes and Noble, Booksamillion, and Amazon, but I dont see anything. I emailed an adviser for the nursing program Im trying to apply to and she said you can find the TEAS study gu...

They are very vague when it comes to sooner start dates. Bottom line is you might get bumped up a semester, but thats still a long time to wait. See if you can get in some where else sooner.

Quit ASAP. No need to continue doing something you dont even have a passion for. Go after something you want to do in life. Its YOUR life and YOU CONTROL YOUR LIFE. Just simply tell your parents you dont have any desire to be a nurse. Tell them what...

Well thats definitely not good news and not want I want to hear. Im so sick of hearing of hearing about greed in this country. How the heck is an MA going to replace a nurse??? That just ****** me off. BIG difference between the two.

Hi everyone.Im going to an out of state school next semester because where I live its almost impossible to get into a nursing program. The only thing is the out of state tuition is $20,000 ($12,000 of it are student loans) for the first year after t...

I would like to stay in state or go to a CC, but thats not possible and actually in the state where I live in state tuition is the highest of any other state in south east. I did speak to someone at the school and they said I can get in state tuition...

Well if you do that you definitley wont have a life. I personally wouldnt have done that because thats a heavy load, but if you are very good with time management, dedicated, and are focused then I say go for it and good luck! I hope you get A's and ...

I would have to agree that experience in two areas would definitely be good.

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice!

I was going to apply to Aiken tech since its in state, but I could never find out any information. I even called the school to find out if there was a waiting list or not and the person I called had no idea. Then I wondered if they were more likely t...

Hey thats great to hear. I honestly dont have any advice, but I do want to wish you luck and say maybe you should dress as if you are going to a job interview. First impressions are everything.

Ignore your friend. If she cant understand that school is so important to you then she doesn't need to be your friend. Real friends support their friends. She should respect the fact you need to study and you are working hard to get into nursing scho...
