  3. EMT first?

    203bravo replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CNA would still give you better in-patient bedside experience... As an EMT you would only be allowed to give O2 and help patients to administer their own prescription medications (such as albuterol...

  4. EMT first?

    203bravo replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you just have a high interest in being an EMT then it may be a good option.. But have you considered CNA? This route could be faster than a semester and give you more exposure to actual nursing...

    203bravo replied to skitches1's topic in General Students

    203bravo replied to trn2015's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

  11. Failed My Hesi

    203bravo replied to brookeynichole's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

  12. PREREQUISITES

    203bravo replied to msmisha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Should I retake A&P (soon to be nursing student)

    203bravo replied to bbmsn5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Guess my concern here would be that taking A&P online should have been like a refresher/review if you already had a good understanding of the material by taking it before. If it was difficult for...

  16. Should I retake A&P (soon to be nursing student)

    203bravo replied to bbmsn5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    203bravo replied to newnurse94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. HELP! ABSN or BSN?

    203bravo replied to newnurse94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This confuses me a little -- how would an accelerated program offer you additional time to complete pre reqs and raise your GPA over a traditional BSN

  19. How to prepare for in advance..

    203bravo replied to milanorn17's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not always -- our professors publish a semester book list and make every book required so that financial aid will pay for them (some financial aid will not cover the cost of "suggested" books) but...

    While it's god that you are thinking ahead -- sometimes it's just as good to actually put the horse before the cart :) a Doctorate degree is considered a terminal degree (highest you can earn) DNP =...

  24. Enrolling as a part time matriculated student for preference in registering for classes?

    203bravo replied to castorandpollux's topic in General Students

    I don't completely understand your question - don't all Colleges require you to be admitted in order to take classes? If this is the same school that you will be seeking your RN degree then I'd bet...
