  1. Which Master's Program Would Be Right For Me?

    happy2learn posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello! I am a pre-nursing student who likes to plan early, lol. My dream is to eventually work in Oncology and/or Hematology. I also like being in high pressure situations, it is where I work best. I...

  2. What can a high school student do to get into....

    happy2learn replied to an0nymous's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind that a lot of the credits from the private schools will not transfer if you ever want to get your BSN or MSN (where I live). You will have to pay MORE money to retake these classes. For...

  3. On the path to a RN Studies. Is CNA the right choice?

    happy2learn replied to bmarrero's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My schools requires that you become an STNA (same as CNA I think) to get onto the waitlist. It is grunt work and not for everyone. I don't think that because you may or may not like the CNA work means...

  4. Denied to adn rn school... Work towards bsn rn school?

    happy2learn replied to Warrior504th's topic in General Students

    My community college doesn't have a lottery system, it's a wait list. While on the waitlist (which is roughly 1 1/2 to 2 years(max)), I'll be working on all the classes in the ADN & BSN program...

  5. Where should I start in the nursing field?

    happy2learn replied to Tricia76's topic in General Students

    Go for your RN! Where I'm located LPN's usually only work in Long Term Care

  6. Which Master's Program Would Be Right For Me?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I never said I "saw" a CNS doing desk work, which is why I'm asking this question. Because the information some school have provided make it seem like the CNS is more involved in paperwork than the...

  7. I know what kind of nurse I want to be!

    happy2learn replied to Sammygrll's topic in General Students

    That's great! You may have to call your local Planned Parenthood to see if there are volunteer opportunities. I want to be an oncology and/or hematology nurse based on volunteer & personal...

  8. Which Master's Program Would Be Right For Me?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm going to the University of Cincinnati, but they do not have the CNL program. They have NP and

  9. Which Master's Program Would Be Right For Me?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I never said I wanted a single answer. I also never said this is the only field I want to work in, I said I want to eventually work in it. I think asking the question could tell you I know you can't...

  10. Which Master's Program Would Be Right For Me?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I guess I should have worded my question another way. I desire to work in this field, but I am open to other options. I just want to know which Master's program would help someone get into the...

  11. Which Master's Program Would Be Right For Me?

    happy2learn replied to happy2learn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I understand what you mean, however, my reason for wanting to be in hematology is because I am a hematology patient and my reason for wanting to work in oncology is because of knowing people with...

  12. Physiology

    happy2learn replied to Ciale's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There shouldn't be a difference. A&P is just anatomy and physiology combined into one course. Having the separated shouldn't make them more difficult, it may actually be easier since you will be...

  13. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    happy2learn replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    I always thought it was strange that my school didn't require MedTerm for nursing. I originally started in the Sonography program and MedTerm is required for that so I took it. Then when I transferred...

  14. How many of your schools require a pharmacology class?

    happy2learn replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    I'm attending a community college for an ADN program and Pharmacology is required. There is no way you can get through the NCLEX and pass the Pharmacology part without taking a class and you must know...

  15. Is it better to do an entry MSN or BSN if you do not have an RN yet?

    happy2learn replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    Why don't you try to shadow a CNL for a day? If you are not 100% sure, I personally wouldn't do it, but that's just me. The way I see it is the opposite of you. What if you do the 2 year CNL, then...

  16. Is it better to do an entry MSN or BSN if you do not have an RN yet?

    happy2learn replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    I think if you are having doubts that you may not be able to do it, then you should do the BSN, first for your own peace of mind. It would only be an extra year, and if it can give you enough...

  17. Daughter looking to be a RN

    happy2learn replied to boatnam1's topic in General Students

    This is a great idea as well. When I graduated high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. Sometimes at that age, you think you know, but you really don't know yourself well enough. This would be...

  18. Daughter looking to be a RN

    happy2learn replied to boatnam1's topic in General Students

    132k??? or was that a typo? i hope so, because rn school is not worth 132k. the expensive associates rn schools by me are $18k per year, so that's a total of $36, which is still high. if she goes to...

  19. Getting bad vibes about next class

    happy2learn replied to Anne36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've actually never had a bad experience with ratemyprofessor.com. All teachers they say are good have been great(with the exception of 1-I have her now and she is horrible) and all the bad ones are...

  20. Crazy Load?

    happy2learn replied to Tara:)'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Geez. However, MedTerm is not hard, IMO. Speech shouldn't be either. As long as you are able to focus on the science, then you should be fine. It seems as if the science GPA is more important. I would...

  21. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    happy2learn replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you already a nurse and getting your BSN or have you chosen the BSN route to get your nursing degree? If it's the latter, you should still be

  22. Cheap textbook sites?

    happy2learn replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't buy all my textbooks from Amazon (only because my school makes some books the are specific to them), but I do buy all my books there (just books I like to read.) I usually go to Border's to...

  23. Is it better to do an entry MSN or BSN if you do not have an RN yet?

    happy2learn replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    Ok. I see why now. A CNL is not an Advanced Practice Nurse, which is why you are able to do it in 2 years. If that is what you want to do, then I would do it. It seems like a CNL does not provide as...

  24. ADN to a Bachelor in??

    happy2learn replied to Schmoo1022's topic in General Students

    I don't see why not. You already hold an associate's degree so you would just have to take all the classes required for the program you

  25. Cheap textbook sites?

    happy2learn replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Renting is great. Also check on Amazon. You can usually find used books there for really cheap. I've actually found them cheaper than the other textbook re-sellers such as ecampus.com Also, see if...
