  1. Low GPA, Non-nursing undergraduate student looking to get into school

    xInspiredx replied to kiwi415's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome! I'd be very appreciative if I could view that list. :) Also, what was your major? Was it something

  2. Is there dissection in A&P or other science classes?

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

    I think that it depends on each school. It'd be a good idea to e-mail the professors of those classes, and ask them which animals the students will be

  3. Any credible program that lets you take psychology online and it still counts?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I sent my college transcripts to be evaluated and now I can't re-take psychology, since I got transfer credit for it already. I don't really know what to do, because my grade for general psychology...

  5. San Joaquin Delta College Spring 2012

    xInspiredx replied to crystalball's topic in California Nursing

    Hello! Has anyone taken Delta's psychology class online as a pre-req? About how many units did you have before you could register for it? I will be coming into the school with 0 units, and just need...

  7. Any credible program that lets you take psychology online and it still counts?

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

    Thanks for the reply shahoo5! However, I live in California, and I don't want to pay any extra out-of-state fees. I'm looking for online programs in California

  8. Computer Literacy Requirement- Is a class needed?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    On one school's nursing homepage, it states that one of the admission criteria is "computer literacy". It just says that. Does this mean that I need a course? Is there any way to challenge a course by...

  9. Should I purse the CNA or HHA?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Should I pursue the CNA or HHA? I am still confused on how to pursue the HHA. If I live in California, do I need the CNA first, and then take an exam to get my HHA certificate? Is that how it works?...

  10. A-BSN Can my GPA be counted twice?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    *Applying to an accelerated BSN program I have to take micro, anatomy, and physiology at a community college. I took the pre-requisites at my former university, so these units will be counted towards...

  11. Balancing a semester: Micro with Anatomy or Physiology?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My background in the sciences is very limited, so I know that I will need to extensively study for these classes. I would like to take them during different semesters, but I'm kind of on a time...

  12. No nursing shortage: roll call!

    xInspiredx replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    CALLING ALL NEW GRADS: If you're in California... you're in luck!! The positions will be in Solano County (which I guess is the Bay Area). I just saw a post on Sac State's Facebook page by someone who...

  13. CNA in a long term care facility or home health- Difference?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What's the difference between a CNA working at a long term care facility versus at a home health facility? Why do more people want to work at a home health facility? Also, how are the job...

  14. FNP - Their Own Clinic - California

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

    I am confused then. So a NP can open a clinic, but can't practice independently? Wouldn't the whole purpose of opening a clinic be to practice independently? I guess I'm missing something

  15. Job market for new grads

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

    Really? I always assumed that NP's had an easier time to get a job after graduation (even with no experience) since they had a more advanced training. Is their situation really as bad as the new RN...

  16. Any Direct Entry MSN programs WITH experience?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have been reading around that direct entry MSN programs do not provide the adequate experience needed to fully succeed after graduation. Are there any direct entry MSN programs that DO provide...

  17. FNP - Their Own Clinic - California

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

    I thought that NP's in CA can't practice

  18. Samuel Merritt University FNP Insight

    xInspiredx replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I guess it's not the requirements per se, but the university itself. I kind of feel like you're paying for the degree, since the cost is so much (and from some posts on this forum, they seem to accept...

  19. How should I approach Nurse Practitioner before 2015?

    xInspiredx replied to ggryz's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When will the final decision be made on requiring NP's to go the DNP route (in 2015+)? I've done some online research, and nothing seems concrete yet. I am just worried now, since I was planning to...

  20. Besides education & pay, difference between a NP & RN?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am still unsure of the exact differences between an RN and an NP. I understand that an NP can teach, since they have their master's degree, but after doing some research online, their duties seem...

  21. Besides education & pay, difference between a NP & RN?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ^Thanks for the replies everyone! Well I still want the option to work in various settings, and not just teach. I want to teach "on the side" so to speak. * Could someone please answer this for me:...

  22. Samuel Merritt University FNP Insight

    xInspiredx replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What do you mean by this? I thought that primary care can be considered hospital care... I am interested in Samuel Merritt, but for some reason the program doesn't seem legit to me. I guess it's their...

  23. Besides education & pay, difference between a NP & RN?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ^Thanks for your reply! So would the latter refer to congested states (e.g. California, New York)? ** If I were to pursue the FNP way, would it be possible to work at just a pediatrics clinic? An...

  24. Besides education & pay, difference between a NP & RN?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    anny08 & NPinWCH, thank you soooooooo much for those replies!!! They are very helpful! In regards to where an NP works, are the jobs generally at clinics? I see more postings for clinics than in...

  25. ABSN College credits versus Community College credits

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying to accelerated BSN schools in the near future. I already have my bachelor's degree, and still need to take anatomy and microbiology. I will need to take the classes at a community...
