  1. Death and Dying Cultural Report Topic Needed

    anon695 replied to Amysuenu's topic in General Students

    If nobody has picked Jewish faith, you will find a wealth of information on cultural practices and beliefs related to death and dying with that one. They have very specific practices that I don't...

  2. Anybody get an internship?

    anon695 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    It was immensely valuable. I was put on a med-surg floor with one preceptor and when I returned to school for my second year, I was way ahead of the curve in clinical. I'll find out in a few months if...

  3. Anybody get an internship?

    anon695 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    This was for summer 2010, when I was entering my second year of a hybrid diploma/Associate's program: Applied for: 5 Interviews: 2 (was rejected for one, but was selected for the other) Acceptance:...

  4. Irritating Classmates

    anon695 replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I've had classmates that match many of the descriptions here, but I'll add one more: Bilingual Spanish/English students who think I can't understand them when they call me names (sometimes racial...

  5. Volunteer Experience

    anon695 replied to Loving This's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't say for sure, that was just one possibility (that it could look like you want to pad your application). On the other hand, even if it doesn't help it's possible it can't hurt, especially if...

  6. Volunteer Experience

    anon695 replied to Loving This's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can only speak from my experience with schools I applied to, but admission seems to be mainly decided by grades (current pre-req grades and transcripts from prior degrees you completed), a clean...

  7. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    anon695 replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I'm not a sentimental person, so pinning ceremonies or graduations have limited appeal to me, but I'm going because the faculty will surely notice if one of only 60 students decides to ditch the...

  8. "Group quizes"?!

    anon695 replied to dp1200's topic in General Students

    My program does "group exams" for half the exams given in one particular semester. Basically you take it on your own as normal, then you're put in a group of about 7 students to re-take the same test,...

  9. Nursing degree (BSN) for under $30,000

    anon695 replied to pamela202's topic in General Nursing

    You're looking for a second-degree ABSN program? City universities are usually the least expensive. I don't know what the entire total would be, but New Jersey City University charges a bit under $7K...

  10. Need help w/ cultural/spiritual considerations

    anon695 replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As the other poster said, it all depends on the individual patient, but overall I've never known a Jewish person to have any objections to pain medication. They don't have an official religious ban on...

  11. Do You Regret Nursing School?

    anon695 replied to ladylou88's topic in General Students

    I'm in my fourth semester, graduating in June, and plan to enter an RN-BSN bridge program right after while (hopefully) working. I don't regret it all, in fact it's the best thing I ever did with my...

  12. Does Having CNA Exp Help so Much in Nursing School?

    anon695 replied to proudmommy's topic in General Students

    It's hard to measure how much being a CNA helps, if at all. It depends on each individual person. I wasn't a CNA before I started nursing school nor did I have any prior medical experience, and I've...

  13. Junior In High School interested in the field of nursing

    anon695 replied to hcm1217's topic in Nursing Career

    As a junior in high school, here is what you should do to prepare for nursing school: Take the hardest classes you can handle, get the best grades you can get. Take as much math & science as...

  14. How will the new healthcare law in 2014 NOT create more jobs?

    anon695 replied to xInspiredx's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it will be neutral - no significant job gains or losses. The healthcare law isn't about 'socialized medicine' because there is no public option. We will see a lot more people with medicare...

  15. A little depressed..

    anon695 replied to texasmum's topic in General Students

    Nursing school tests are hard and the questions are unlike any I'd ever encountered before. I would recommend getting "Fundamentals Success", it is a book of practice questions with rationales and...

  16. How do you get through the last few months of nursing school?

    anon695 replied to bella147's topic in General Students

    I'm in my last semester and what keeps me going is that I've worked so hard for this that slacking off and failing (then having to repeat and not graduate until a year later) would be devastating. I...

  17. Books to use

    anon695 replied to FutureUofARN's topic in General Students

    Davis's NCLEX Q&A 2010 test plan, it's got lots of SATA Nurse's 5 minute clinical consult: diseases (makes pre-clinical research go very fast, and even has nursing diagnosis and interventions for...

  18. ABSN program

    anon695 replied to nursinghopeful1111's topic in General Nursing

    I faced the same dilemma when I was looking to start nursing school- ADN and an RN-BSN bridge right afterwards while (hopefully) working, or ABSN. I chose the ADN and then RN-BSN route because it was...

  19. not working for a year to get BSN

    anon695 replied to nursinghopeful1111's topic in General Nursing

    Best of luck to you then, if the hospital said you could apply. -It's a super competitive job market regardless of which route you go to end up with the BSN, in a way there are no perfect options of...

  20. not working for a year to get BSN

    anon695 replied to nursinghopeful1111's topic in General Nursing

    With an ADN and then an RN-BSN right after with zero work experience puts you at huge risk of being considered an "old new grad" once you ARE ready to apply for jobs. Your clinical skills will be...

  21. ADN Students Whom Already Hold a Bachelors in Another Field

    anon695 replied to TheCareerStudent's topic in General Students

    The problem with UofP isn't that it's online, the problem is that it's a for-profit degree mill that only exists to scoop up federal money and make shareholders rich. There are many online RN-BSN...

  22. New Chamberlain Campus in Houston

    anon695 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Buyer Beware. It's a for-profit company that mainly exists to hoover up federal loan, pell grand, and GI bill money. The credits may not transfer anywhere else when you're done, so if you want t go on...

  23. ADN Students Whom Already Hold a Bachelors in Another Field

    anon695 replied to TheCareerStudent's topic in General Students

    You still have to do the BSN coursework - it's just incorporated into the longer and more expensive "master's" program. And buyer beware - University of Pheonix is for-profit and charges WAY more than...

  24. What are some NY accelerated BSN/ 2nd degree programs?

    anon695 replied to vmorales's topic in New York Nursing

    NYU, Columbia, NJCU, Pace, SUNY

  25. Ohio Univ RN-BSN

    anon695 replied to mtsteelhorse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've done a lot of research on RN-BSN programs and from what I've seen, every online program from every state university system has the same nursing classes - community health, nursing management,...
