  4. Cost: Tuition Fees Or...?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been reading some numbers on the schools' websites with a sum number titled "Tuition", but does this include just the fees? Or the books, living costs, etc. as well? Also, how likely are you to...

  7. Is there really "stability"?

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

    I have a question about laying off in the hospital... 1. If you're a Nurse Practitioner, are you less likely to be laid off, due to the 'higher rank' you have over the RN's, LVN's, etc? 2. If you are...

  8. A-BSNorMSN Does undergrad university matter?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do Accelerated BSN and MSN programs take into consideration where you went as an undergraduate? Or look highly/down upon them depending on where you went? I know they don't say that directly, but I...

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

  13. Certain number of years?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hello! If I may ask a NP here, how many years were you a RN before you could apply to become a NP? Do you have to be a RN first, or can you just do the BSN program, and immediately do the MSN...

  14. Which Volunteering Positions?

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

  16. Is there really "stability"?

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

    Thanks for your input everyone! :) @racquetmom I am not changing my area of emphasis, per se. It has to do more with frustration, confusion, and me being a scaredy cat basically. I mean, after reading...

  17. Certain number of years?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Could anyone please reply? I would really appreciate it coming from an ACTUAL NP, and not an advisor, or some information on the web. Thank

  18. Can't specialize if I do an ASN?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Someone told me that if I do an Associates Degree in Nursing, then I can't become a Pediatrics Nurse. Is this true? How do you become a Pediatrics Nurse, since this is a specialized form of a nurse?...

  19. BSN versus ADN

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oh sorry, guys! I now see the search option up at the top, but in my defense, it has a "Google" written there, so I thought that it would just do a general Google search hehe. Also, even IF I had...

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pediatric

  22. Why do people do a LVN if...

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why do people choose to do a LVN, if they can become a RN by doing the ADN, which are both the same amount of time? Or wait, is there a difference? It seems like a LVN isn't an actual RN, right?...

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

    ^Thanks for your reply! So what you're saying is that I should NOT do the ASN program if I want to be a Pediatrics nurse in the future? Could I apply for the MSN program in the future? Like after...

  25. Do they look at high school transcipts??

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

    caliotter3, Well I know that they wouldn't look at that GPA to calculate, but just to look at it to see that I could excel in higher courses (I.B. courses), and just messed up one year in college. Oh...
