No, I am in Australia. I get what BSN is, but I have checked out almost every single university's website and they only offer Bachelor of Nursing as an Undergraduate course. Bachelor of Nursing(keeping in mind that I am in Australia)= BSN, right? Thanks for your inputs, people. But still, things are not clear.

Yes, but I am doing Bachelor of Nursing. BSN and BN are totally different things, right? I am so sorry if these questions sound juvenile to you but I just want to make things clear, even if I make an orifice of myself.

Hi As embarrassing as it sounds, up to this date I thought I could become a CRNA after finishing my Bachelor of Nursing, getting a RN license, 1 years ICU experience but now that I have realized that you have to have a BSN degree to get into a CRNA program, I am really ****** at myself. My Nursing program starts in July and I know there is nothing I can do, even if I can I wouldn't because I do not want to miss this intake too. Can you tell me what can I do after finishing my bachelor of nursing that will make me eligible for a CRNA program? Thank you for your inputs in advance.

Hey I'm currently applying for a Bachelor of Nursing program and soon after that(after getting RN license and 1 year experience in ICU) I plan to start my CRNA program. And yes, I have read all the requirements for becoming a CRNA, but I am still confused as to will I be able to start my CRNA studies with completing my Bachelor of Nursing or do I need to do Bachelor of Science in Nursing?

I apologize if this has been discussed before, if so, would you be kind enough to provide me a link to that? Thanks.

Hey, guys!I have four months left before my school starts. So I thought may be I'd buy one or two books, just to, you know, get myself familiarized with what all these medical terms and get some basic knowledge of what I'll be studying for the next three coming years. But the problem is, when I search, just say, Anatomy and Physiology textbooks in the searchbar of Amazon, there are lots of editions and versions, some books with funny covers. I get all confused and can't decide what to buy. What if I buy a book that I think is right and later I find out that it's not the right version or edition? Please tell me which version or edition of books should I buy, not only for Anatomy and Physiology but also Medical/Surgical books. Thanks for your inputs in advance!!

Haven't started school yet, but I passing by my campus the other day, and it felt like I was this close to heaven or hell(i'll find that out in 2 months.)

Thank you guys! Now I should be able to concentrate on other(more important) stuff, like, study! LOL I've started working on my pronunciation.Been reading books and watching local sitcoms for months now, I hope that will help me in the long run. Once again, thank you, thank you all for replying to my post and giving me the support I needed, although I feel pretty stupid for asking such a question now, but sill..... Now I feel a little relieved.

Hey, you guys! Something about myself- I'm an international student, studying business in Australia for the past 11 months. English is not my first language. I've applied for a nursing programme and the University requires 6.0 bands in IELTS, which I have. I sent them all my academic documents and I got an offer letter! Twist- After a couple of weeks they told me that I have to pass a test, in which I will have to prove my listening, reading, and writing skills. I even passed that exam too. Now, the pathway to my school is clear, but, when I was reading all you people's posts, it got me thinking that one needs to have strong communication skills and writing skills to succeed in nursing schools. And then, I got depressed and thought that no matter how many tests I pass I will never be able to communicate with a patient as an English speaker does. How the hell am I going to remember all names of those medicines and anatomy and all that stuff? Will I be a good nurse? How can I get rid of this fear of me not doing well in the programme? I'd really appreciate some help. P.S- please don't discourage my efforts by saying such things as- ha! You will never pass the programme, we've been speaking, reading, writing, listening English since our birth whereas you haven't.
