I work at a hospital in CT and there's no difference in pay between ASN and BSN nurses.

krissyr....I feel the same way as you do. I just finished my third week (out of 12 orientation weeks) at my new job on an LTAC Respiratory unit, and I feel so uncomfortable, out of place, in the way and just deer in the headlights. I actually thoug...

Thank you so much for this. :)

ADN...April 2013....:singing:Halleluia! :)

"You're seeing it too, right??? Now I KNOW I've worked too many hours...."

I totally understand, Heather! I'm in my first semester too, and have only had three clinical days where I worked with a patient. The first two we were able to pair up with a classmate, so it wasn't so scary. Last week, though, I was on my own. T...

Hey fellow nursing students! This is week two for me in my quest of becoming the best RN that I can be. I know I'm just beginning and I have a TON of things to learn, but I was curious to see if anyone else has the same issue that I seem to be havin...

Thanks for the comments everybody....it's good to know I'm not the only one. I looked around at some of my classmates, and their introductions and explanations were just flowing right out. They just seemed so comfortable. I know some of them are ...

BA in English with a concentration in Creative Writing and Literature, minor in Sociology. @RN2BDFW....my thoughts exactly. Liberal Arts Studies got me right where I wanted to be....administrative assistant job after administrative assistant job! ...

I've rented books from Chegg.com and Bookrenter.com. I bought most of my ASN books off Amazon. I saved over $200 buying them that way instead of going through my school bookstore. Last I checked Amazon Prime had a deal going for students, as Connie11...

Glad to hear all went well! Praying for a speedy recovery! :)

I'll be praying for you! :redbeathe

Today marks a year since my coworker and friend "LL" passed away... Diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in August 2009, she fought for just under a year, and she worked up until the last three weeks of her life...determined not to let cancer win. I...

Congrats! I just got mine as well.....here's to the class of 2013!

Hey studentnurseCT....I know we've chatted a bit before, but I'm psyched to say I just got my acceptance letter to start this Fall in Goodwin's nursing program. I'm PSYCHED!...and relieved! Now I just need to get through the next 7 weeks of this sem...

:) Thanks for the quick response! I feel better about starting now. I'm finishing up my pre-reqs this semester and it just seems like most of my classmates are already in the field...it makes me feel way behind before I even start! I get a positive ...

Goodwin_StudentNurse, how has your first semester in gone so far? I'm anxiously waiting for my acceptance letter for the Fall semester. I'm not sure if you have a medical background or not, but I don't (or have very limited experience...I doubt vol...

WOW! and I thought taking AP2 and Microbio was going to be a challenge!! how did you do?! :)

It'll be AP2 and MicroBio for me this summer...then hopefully I'll be accepted to start core nursing classes in the fall....it's been a long year of pre-reqs and I can't wait to be finished! :)

Congrats!

There were a few other programs I was looking into, but most are full-time day programs. I work full-time, so a nights and weekends program is needed. :)

I'm planning on handing my application to Goodwin College by the end of the week....very anxious, but really excited at the same time! Good Luck to everyone!:)

Hey there! I'm currently working full-time and finishing up pre-reqs part-time. I'm hoping to apply in about a month to start core nursing classes in the fall. Like others have said, time management is key. I've been taking three classes a semeste...

Hey everyone... I've been floating around on this site for about a year now. Learning all kinds of things about the nursing field. I have a few nurses in my family, but I decided to go back to school for nursing after witnessing a coworker and frien...

That's one way things would be crazier for me. I don't have kids...yet. Unless you count my husband...he's a 15 year old trapped in a 30 year old's body. :) Maybe after nursing school...we'll see. Anyway, great idea about checking out the funny nu...
