Hi everyone, I'm going to be graduating in the spring from an accredited ADN program and am trying to decide which school would be best for going to finish my BSN. I know accredidation is important which is why i made sure the current school i am go...

Thank you all for you advice, i never thought about how it would affect transferring. I'll definitely look into the schools more.

I'd at least make sure its accredited

Sure its nice to say you got a 4.0 but you don't need it, and you'll stress yourself out trying to get it. All that matters is you know what your doing and understand the material so you can pass the classes and the nclex.

Things will get better as your confidence goes up. I just finished my first year of nursing school and i was a mess during my first semester of clinicals. Dont waste time comparing yourself to others, almost everyone will have an issue or make a mi...

You sound like a very caring person and that is exactly what patients need, so do what you need to get through school so you can help patients that really actually need you. You classmates need to learn how to solve their own problems anyway, they w...

I'm not sure what the difference is but the school i'm going to is NLNAC accredited and i'm in a ADN program so trophywife might be right. All i know is that i've been told that certain hospitals wont even consider hiring you if you dont go to an ac...

It's really up to you and what you think you can handle as far as working goes. I cut work down to 20-25 hours a week so that i had more time to focus on school but still had money coming in so i wasn't too stressed financially. I have classmates t...

A new car...i'm really hoping the one i got gets me through my last year of the nursing program!

Nurisng school is hard and very time consuming! For me i feel like it's more time consuming than anything. I remember when i took A&P i had a hard time with it and i barely got a B- but A&P is more memorization, where as nurisng classes are...

I'm in nursing school right now too and i've had the same feeling before. Like you i'm one of the youngest in my class and i have no previous health care experience before nursing school and alot of times i felt like i was behind my class mates. Af...

Hi everyone, i'm a new nursing student and after this semester i'll be able to get a job as a CNA if i'd like to but i'm debating whether i should do that or if i should wait untill i have my LPN. I know i want to start working before i graduate as ...

thanks for the advise everyone, i really appreciate it!

i’m in an associates program that gives us the option to test out to become a cna after the 2nd term, a lpn after our 4th term, and then after the 7th term we can get our rn. i eventually plan on working once i get to the lpn level either way, i jus...

You should go, i've heard nothing but good things about it and there's no waitlist last i knew. I originally wanted to go there but had problems with travel and housing so i ended up going to a community college. Now I wish i had went because im cur...

I'm currently on the wait list for muskegon community college's nurisng program, and have about a year and a half before i get in. I also looked into transfering to GVSU but decided against it because of the cost. I heard alot of hospitals dont pay...

Muskegon Community College has an LPN program but there's a 2-3 year waitlist. If i were you i'd go for the RN if you can you'll find more options for schools. Baker in Muskegon has no waitlist for the RN program last i knew. I'm pretty sure Daven...

hi, i'm wondering if anyone could give me advice on the best way to obtain my rn degree. i'm currently on a wait list for an associates rn program but i have another two years before i would start the program, and i've started thinking about other o...

Thanks everyone, your advise is really helpful! I have a little while before i have to decide but from what i'm hearing it seems like the BSN program is the better way to go. I'd like the bigger degree i just didn't want to spend alot of extra mone...
