    KareBear0609 replied to Meagan0928's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. How to turn a patient???

    KareBear0609 replied to Ted D's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  8. How to turn a patient???

    KareBear0609 replied to Ted D's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  9. Starting school and need to stay focused

    KareBear0609 replied to nevergiveuprn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with a lot of what is being said on here. I just turned 22, I am married with two children. I am 100% on my own. My mom showed me tough love, not because I depended on her, but because it...

  11. Can A&P plus working a full time job work for me?!

    KareBear0609 replied to cmbrown06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    KareBear0609 replied to ConstantLearner2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    KareBear0609 replied to ConstantLearner2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Part-time LPN program-Is it worth it?

    KareBear0609 replied to laski's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is what I would do: Do the LPN program since it is part-time and you have young ones at home. Once you complete the program, try to find a job at a nursing home or long term care facility (unless...

  16. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

    KareBear0609 replied to Katwallace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends how many classes you are taking and how many pre-reqs you need for the nursing pre-reqs. I am going for my BSN, it is going to take me four years total just for the pre-reqs. I need...

  17. I need confirmation that I made the right decision.

    KareBear0609 replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Need opinion!

    KareBear0609 replied to Studylots34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Networking can help your chances and if you can "get your foot in the door" at a hospital (such as a PCT job) then you can raise your chances of being hired right out of nursing school. Otherwise, you...

  20. ADN degree... Hospital Acceptance?

    KareBear0609 replied to nursetobe2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is different depending on your area. In my opinion, if two applicants apply with the same experience and interviewing skills and one has an ADN and the other has a BSN.. the BSN will get...

    KareBear0609 replied to stargurl2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    KareBear0609 replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P is easy for me, I really don't even study for it. We have had two tests so far and I missed two questions on the first test and none on the second test. English is what is kicking my butt.....
