It didn't dawn on me until just right now, don't ask me why, that my choice of NOT getting a flu shot will NOT get me into a nursing program. The director at my school of choice basically stated "it is a requirement that you receive one, however you ...

thanks everyone for your input. I appreciate your honesty and opinions. it is something that I need to really consider before I go further in my education. Stephlump right on!!!! I was trying to say that, however, was so peeved that I could not think...

i had my first kid at 31 and my last at 39. (4 total)... you can graduate and still work a good 4-5 years before you have a kid... pending on how many you want... that's my 2 cents.

I on the other hand would write her up and bring it as far up as the chain command would allow me. Its allowed because people choose to ignore it; wanting to avoid confrontation. I feel sorry for the whole floor who has to deal with this. If the cna...

I have to agree with some of the previous posters about not teaching due to the higher level of education loans and there is no good end result. I know with the budget cuts at most community colleges it would be difficult to pay student loans like ho...

Hang in there! there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I too am ALMOST done with my pre-reqs... but I took the long route as I am also pursuing my AA degree at the same time. I also am applying to a BSN program (as well as ASN) so yes, more classe...

with that low of a passing rate, I would NOT want to go their program anyway! I could see why it's so low with instructors like that. DO NOT GIVE UP YOUR DREAM!!!! so what if you had trouble with the microscope! who doesn't at times? it gets better w...

I have to agree with the previous posters about it depends on where you are, who you know and what your skill level is. I know 2 adns who got jobs within 3 weeks to 2 months FRESH out of school... sooooo i really truly think it depends on the individ...

I know it sounds "insulting" but it's an INTERNSHIP. Some places don't even pay for interns. So you can either suck it up and gain the expierence and hope that they like you enough to pick you up and keep you; or you can ignore and go on and try to f...

Thank you for all those who responded. I never gave much thought of the cost associated with the MSN programs. Thank you for that insight. I'm going the old traditional route with the hopes and prayers that I get in on the first try. Not holding my ...

Ok. so I've been reading lots of posts asking questions on if they already have a BA in one thing and want to pursue nursing they get to go straight into a MSN program... Question: with all the waiting lists for actually getting into any nursing prog...

If you're looking for entry into a community college ADN program, it should only take you 3 years to complete. the 5 years is most likely taking pre-reqs to obtain your AA at a community college level then transfer to a cal state or university to obt...
