  1. 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

    So are you saying you become an RN and a Clinical Nurse Leader in two years? I'm still confused by your information because every program I have seen requires someone to be an RN before they are...

  2. Crazy Load?

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

    There is no way I would ever do Statistics with A&P and Micro. I would take Fine Arts with the A&P and Micro, then take Stats with Ethics. I don't see the point of cramming so many classes in...

  3. Help-what to do about nursing school?

    happy2learn replied to honeybee23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are plenty of Master's program's set up for this situation. It's considered an accelerated program. You will get your RN(BSN) and then proceed to the Master's program. You will not be looked...

  4. 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

    A BSN is an RN program. There are 2 types of RN programs, Associate's and Bachelor's. The only difference is the degree, it's all the same RN though. That's exactly how it is set up where I am at. I...

  5. Can diabetic educators be fat?

    happy2learn replied to Heinz beans's topic in General Students

    You are basing "overweight" on the outside appearance when overweight is base on your body fat percentage, something you would never be able to calculate based on looks. Your whole "overweight...

  6. 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

    Well, your question doesn't provide much information about your education history. Anyways, The accelerated programs by me are set up so that if you have a Bachelor's in another area, you will...

  7. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    happy2learn replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I still believe the patient comes first. And if you spend so much time helping this NS, doesn't the patient suffer? The instructor needs to be teaching that student, not letting the patient suffer...

  8. Need opinion on pursuing Scholarship or not

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

    I would do it. If it's an accredited school and you can get it paid for, why not? There are a few hospitals around me that offer that option, they just don't advertise it because they know they would...

  9. Whty do people become nurses?

    happy2learn replied to Kimberlyjoy's topic in General Students

    I am a pre-nursing student and I'll tell you why I decided nursing was for me. Two years ago, I volunteered for a small organization that ran a small Christmas event at the local Children's Hospital,...

    happy2learn replied to bioniclewoman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Whoa!

  11. Attractive Students Being Hired First

    happy2learn replied to bioniclewoman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have to agree that maybe the more "attractive" people have more confidence. I mean, you are saying they are more attractive than you, so that shows a lack of confidence. If you do not feel good...

  12. How to stop beating myself up...

    happy2learn replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    Psychology will tell you that you need to set a realistic expectation for yourself. Not everyone's brain is capable of getting an "A." And there is nothing wrong with that! When I took my first...

  13. Volunteering at Multiple Hospitals

    happy2learn posted a topic in General Students

    Hello! I am looking to volunteer. My main motivation for volunteering is personal reasons, though I know it will help me in the future to have some rapport at established hospitals. I am unemployed...

    happy2learn replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Just because a student is having trouble in one task doesn't mean they will be horrible in all other tasks. Anyways..... Clinicals are about the patient. To me, I think the teacher took off a percent...

  15. Question about me pursuing NURSING.?

    happy2learn replied to urbanspectre's topic in General Students

    An LPN is a nurse also. An RN just has some advanced responsibilities. At my school, most of the courses for the LPN-RN and the regular RN program are the same. I have LPN's in my A&P classes....

  16. Advice for certain classes??

    happy2learn replied to Shblondie71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I think you should also consider what will make A&P easier for you. Personally, General Chemistry seems more relevant to A&P. In my school's curriculum, Organic Chemistry is a...

  17. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    happy2learn replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    I have a bleeding disorder, my blood is pretty much as thin as water, so yes that time of the month is wonderful(sarcastic.) I have not started clinicals but I do believe they wear white scrubs. Yuck....

  18. What to do about favoritism in class

    happy2learn replied to charliecat's topic in General Students

    I personally think it's rude to ignore the professor when they ask a question. Maybe you can talk to your professor about the lack of participation in class. This is what I would say, "I have a...

  19. I got accepted to a nursing program, but im about to give up my seat...HELP

    happy2learn replied to RN2BKD's topic in General Students

    What's better, pain now for the next few years, or pain and struggling for the rest of your life if you are not able to get into another program? Make it

  20. Is it illegal to force students who have financial aid to buy books from your school?

    happy2learn replied to sweetiepie98's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of this. At my school, if you ARE using your financial aid package for books, you can only buy them at their bookstore. That's just because they are the only ones that can access and...

  21. Have a B.S. -- 2-year R.N. -V.S.- Accelerated B.S.?

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

    I agree with SerenePeach. Also, there are quite a few RN-BSN programs that do not take 2 years, some only take like 1 year and a few

  22. Do I need Bio before A&P??

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

    I didn't remember anything from Bio or Chemistry. In high school, I didn't care about class, so I barely made a C. They accepted my credits(which were like 8 years old, but the expiration was 7, they...

  23. Rejected to Accelerated BSN program, should I consider an Associates?

    happy2learn replied to enfermera2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man! I hope you are NEVER my nurse or I never have to work with you. Obviously YOU made a poor career choice, so don't be telling other people it's a poor choice for them just because you made one....

  24. Is it better to be LvN first?

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

    Not sure who's doing the pushing, but where I'm at, it's a waste of money to become an LPN/LVN if you want to be an RN, and it takes just as much time in the end, maybe 6 months less. Of course, my...

  25. Advice on how to pursue a BSN

    happy2learn replied to tn42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    this just shows how different every place is. i think it would be a good idea to take some easy courses to raise your gpa, then apply to a few different schools
