  1. Any one who is currently/ was in a 4- year university to get their BSN

    StangGang92 replied to llaura's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It honestly depends, as for applying to start college you will be accepted as a "pre nursing" student. So basically, you need to meet admission requirements to that particular college or university....

  3. Working in school (I promise this isn't the typical 'should I work' question!)

    StangGang92 posted a topic in General Students

    So, I know that with this economy we, if possible, should try and pick up a hospital job for both experience and networking. I know that if possible you should also aim for a hospital job so that when...

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in General Students

    Well, I have several years before I'd apply for an RN job with whatever hospital I would work with, so it isn't like I would 'bolt' as soon as I

    StangGang92 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I didnt read every page, so please excuse me for restating something already said. I can see this happening because a) It isn't common knowledge that there is pre-nursing. It's simpler to say "i am a...

    StangGang92 replied to lovesunshine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm applying for a BSN, I just figured its better to get the 4 years out of the way. Plus the CC around here is lottery based and takes forever to get into. So the time it would take me to get a ADN...

  10. Deciding Between RN vs PA.

    StangGang92 replied to Sped's topic in General Nursing

    I would actually have to disagree with that, with a NP you need to choose a specialty before you start school (Adult, Family, Neo, ect), but when you are a PA thats it - you can jump from job to job...

    StangGang92 replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    StangGang92 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just curious here, have you gotten over you fear of blood? It'll be interesting to be a CRNA in the OR and witnessing surgery. I hope this doesn't come off negative, I'm honestly curious. Or do you...

  15. Why did you choose to go into nursing?

    StangGang92 replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had always wanted to become a doctor - family medicine to be specific. I had the grades, drive, money to fund schooling, ect but I was under an illusion of what doctors did. I figured out the roles...

  18. One Binder or Many?

    StangGang92 replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a very organized person and I think that the one binder for everything would drive me nuts - but I can just imagine falling over carrying 3 binders/books plus a laptop. I must just have to do some...

  23. Are we a dime a dozen?

    StangGang92 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't get discouraged!! Nursing is a extremely hard major and the pre-reqs themselves will weed many people out. I wouldn't look at it to your disadvantage to competing with 25+ year olds, you have...
