  1. Is there hope to get into a ABSN??

    Noelani replied to allieboballie's topic in General Students

    I got in to Saint Louis University's ABSN program with a 3.3. I had a C in Chem 1 but a B in Chem 2 and an A in the lab. I also managed to fail Calc 2 the first time (A the second time). Not a...

  2. Nursing School Must Haves??

    Noelani replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    Absolutely. I also use it as my airplane carry-on, and it easily fits my large laptop (in its case), a textbook, and several notebooks in the main compartment. The smaller compartment is actually...

  4. Do I really need a BSN?

    Noelani replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    I have a BS in Human Biology too, and I chose to go for the BSN. Where I live, it's getting harder and harder to find jobs, and a BSN really helps. Some hospitals have a BSN differential. Since I...

    Noelani replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It depends. If you plan to teach in the hospital, ICEA is a pretty safe bet. It's a great general certification program. Most hospitals require you to either be ICEA Certified or Lamaze Certified....

  10. What exactly do some people think nursing is all about???

    Noelani replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Students

    I agree 100%. I worked as a CNA for a year in a wonderful hospital unit. There was a real atmosphere of teamwork. If we were short of CNAs, nurses pitched in and ambulated patients, gave baths, etc....
