  8. job prospects for a new grad

    tentay87 posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    So this has been worrying me for awhile. I'm a junior on a BSN track. I will graduate next May (2011). I don't think I will be getting an internship this summer. I go to school in Central IL but I...

  9. What should I expect? New nursing student, begining Jan 2010.

    tentay87 replied to Elizabeth Oliva's topic in General Students

    After your first round of exams, (and you didn't do so well) go to your teachers and go over your tests. It really helps a lot because although each exam tests different materials, the questions are...

  10. Should I take Chem before taking Microbiology?

    tentay87 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Micro after Chem. It does help now that I think about it :) I would recommend asking around within your program and get feedback from people who have taken Micro... I think it varies where you...

  14. PharmD student - pursue FNP afterwards?

    tentay87 replied to BSNtoPharmD's topic in General Nursing

    I am almost 100% sure that all NP programs require 1 yr of experience, 2 yr+ preferred. I can't think of why someone would invest in an NP program without testing if they liked nursing first. With me,...

  15. If you are a CNA in California, Can you continue as an RN in the Philippines ?

    tentay87 replied to markie07's topic in International Nursing

    I don't think they will since CNA work is very basic (vital signs, ADLs). Plus ( no offense) they really want your money, so they are probably going to make you take the whole program (4 years... I...
