I would forget the bachelor and get the associate degree instead. You'll be making around the same amount of money and you can always take an associate to bachelor program. Nursing is one of the...

The HESI exam is used to weed out the nurses who wouldn't pass the NCLEX. If a nursing school doesn't get about a 90%+ passrate on the NCLEX for a couple of years then they could eventually lose...
What specific stance are you referring to? I'll try and guess what it is. My first post was simply a hypothetical question on why don't employers start lowering wages for nurses. I pointed out...
Just for the record, I'm not advocating the lowering of RN wages :wink2:. I myself would hate it if wages were to fall or stagnant before I get in the field. I believe the reason why wages are high...
I've seen on here that a hospital wouldn't even accept experience gained at a hospice for a RN. I doubt working as a CNA counts as experience with the few tasks they perform. A CNA doesn't do...
I would rather compete for a job also. I wouldn't worry about lower wages for RN happening, not even the tech sector lowered wages much during the time that lots of jobs were cut. RN wages posted...
After looking at the countless rants of nurses who can't get a job for months on here and seeing nearly all job listings for nurses requiring experience, I went on to conclude that getting a nursing...

I don't understand how a virus replicates inside a single cell helps you with everyday nursing. Tell me what and how specific action a nurse has performed on the job as a result of having taken...
I've looked over microbiology syllabuses online and my conclusion was that microbiology does not help working nurses to much. Chemistry should help you understand the chemical reactions taking place...
I seen people post on here that LVN's make at least $15 an hour. Yet I can't find a single lvn job that pays good. Here is an example of a LVN job paying minimum wage AND requiring experience!...
Should I even try to become a RN? I am hearing that the bare minimum GPA needed to get into a nursing school to get an ADN/BSN is about 3.7. Getting a "B" in any prerequsite will pretty much...
If I want to become a RN, what path should I take? From what I read, there are three paths I could take to become a RN. I could take the required prerequisite courses for a nursing school at a...
