Hy everyone, A classmate of mine told me friday that she was told by "someone who is on the nursing teacher staff"... that soon only BSN's will be allowed--no more ADN Rn's. This can't be true, can it??? We already have a nurse shortage, so if it wou...

Thanks for all the info. You know what gets me though---they want us all to get a BSN, but as far as I have been told by RN's, the pay is the same for ADN-BSN. Doesn't seem fair to me! 2 more yrs. of school X 40k of pay lost or cut due to going to sc...

I took the NLN for RN and LPN. I had a study guide FULL of errors, and when I took the LPN test--some questions came from the RN study guide. I was also confused about the fact that I found the LPN test much harder than the RN NET---and I truely beli...

I agree with you on this. I think the greatest job I will ever have as a nurse is being a servant to others in need. Servant does not mean waitress, but rather having a servants heart = loving people and humbling oneself. To me this is the greatest w...

This might make you feel a little better: with pell grant, we can not charge books until May 17th.---school starts up again on the 19th. for me. So, I have 2 days... hope this makes YOU feel better. :chuckle

I once forgot about a math test...we usually had labs, where everyone was doing problems alone ,or in groups. I was running late, so everyone was working on--what I thought was just another lab. Since I did not hear the teacher's intro, I was working...

I found these Nursemate clogs for only $14.99 @ allheart.com >>> http://www.allheart.com/nmquarks.html I really love them.

I know many people that are in the same situation. I applied to both RN and LPN and got into the LPN program. I see this as a blessing, since MANY students flunk the RN program--they seem to weed out badly... I rather take baby-steps gracefully than ...

I was thinking about how much we all hoped to get into the program, and now it's happening. :) Once in school, we will think about making it through, finding a job etc. I just hope I will never lose my love for people, desire to help my patients, a...

I'm doing the same thing this summer, but I have 10 weeks to do it, so I've got it much easier than you :chuckle I loved A&P I--I was scared to death to take it though. It has given me a much greater appreciation for God's awesome creation, do...

Hi, I'm taking the Basic Life-support for Healthcare Prof. through the American Heart Assoc. this Saturday---required to start a nursing program. I would go w/ an organization that is accredited nationwide--not to say the other company isn't providin...

Again, I have a "dumb student" question for you wise nurses--I do feel so ignorant sometimes :imbar ... How do you become specialized in a particular field, like Psych/ ICU/ etc. ? Do you have to take X-amount of Psych classes and get a certificatio...

I'm going through a heck of a time right now to complete my physicals. First, they didn't even sent us the paperwork until a month ago--deadline is may 3rd, or you are out of the program :angryfire ---what about the ones who have no insurance??? I h...

I'm in Jacksonville! What school are you going to? I just got into the LPN @ Coastal, but I'm planning on doing the Bridge RN in New Bern. Got any advice for me, or where I should apply for the RN program?

I'm counting before I say something to the previous comment.... Yes, it takes a lot of determination to do well in A&P, but some of us have kids etc., so 3-4 hrs./day just for A&P??? But maybe as a software engineer you are @ your PC most of ...

I'm a firm believer in "Baby Steps". I think it would be good for you to take a basic A&P class first. I was VERY scared of A&P and I'm getting an A. It has alot to do with who teaches it too. I asked around, and found that teachers at night ...

I was born and raised in Germany and married an American in 91'. I don't think they offer a nursing program, however, you can take your pre-req's --the military does offer classes for spouses. Things might have changed, and who knows, maybe the milit...

I'm starting to wonder what people might say about me?? :uhoh21: I have one to add though... What about the student that sits next to you in class, always writing something NOT pertaining to THIS class... We recently went over the study guide of an ...

Hello everyone-- Happy Easter btw, I'll start LPN school in august and was just wondering if anyone has any advice on "things I wish I had known about", or "can't live without" item I should get...? Also, should I order any magazine on a regular b...

have you ever been in the military? gi-bill is almost $1000/ month. also, pell grant, depending on your income, is a max of $4050/year. you can also get a stafford loan (federal loan), and as long you pay the interest (should be less than $100/mo), y...

:kiss Thank you all for your replies! I'm getting very excited and scared the closer I get to start school. I know it will be/ is a lot of stress we have to go through as a student/ nurse, but at the end of the day its all such a blessing to be abl...

Just do the math...80hrs/wk = 11.4something hrs./day PLUS school, driving, studying for other(!) classes...? yeah, right... :rotfl: It's the quality of study time--not quantity. I have plenty of ppl. in my class, who after failing a test ( inc...

Can ya name names?? :chuckle
