  1. I'm a CNA just because I want experience

    xInspiredx replied to blessed2bfree's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would renew your license, and get more experience working as a CNA. The admissions committee will see that it's a

  2. About laughing at yourself.

    xInspiredx replied to coffeelover10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  3. Are all nursing schools based on a point system?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems like practically every nursing school is based on a point system (i.e. 50 points for grades, 40 points for TEAS). Where do factors like volunteer experiences and essays tie into

  4. Are all nursing schools based on a point system?

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

    ^Thank you all for the replies! It seems like the majority of the accelerated BSN programs go by a point system, which doesn't work for my advantage. It'd be nice to include essays and extracurricular...

  5. How likely is it to get laid off?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been searching through old and recent threads, and have stumbled upon posts in which the posters have stated that they have been laid off. One of the main reasons why I am interested in the...

  6. I don't get why you have to become a RN first ?

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

    Oh, it's fine. I am just a very confused person right now, and keep reading so many different things posted on sites. I know that a NP is an advanced nurse, but I thought that they were two separate...

    ^Thank you for the replies everyone! I definitely feel reassured

  9. I don't get why you have to become a RN first ?

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

    ^Thank you for the replies! I realize that a NP is an advanced RN, but my question had more to do with when will you be able to actually perform the NP "duties" (like prescribing). I am understanding...

  10. Does there seem to be more NP supply then demand?

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

    Well there always seems to be a demand for NP's at clinics. There's always that option if you can't find one at a

  11. how to learn another language?

    xInspiredx replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Nursing

    Learning from a book won't be as helpful. Yes it's a starting point, but you really need to immerse yourself in the language. As many of the posters above have mentioned, watching the Spanish channels...

  12. Are all nursing schools based on a point system?

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

    ^Thanks for your reply! So if (many) schools have this point system, then what's the point of holding interviews? I've read on some schools' websites that they have a point system, but they will also...

  13. Are all nursing schools based on a point system?

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

    ^Thanks for the replies! What's the basis for their decision though (to only look at the GPA and TEAS scores)? I kind of feel like I'm wasting my time trying to build a "solid" resume when I see that...

  14. Ranking of nursing schools + undergraduate degree (ABSN)

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1) Is there a comprehensive site which has a ranking for nursing schools, as well as the passing rates for the NCLEX exam? I couldn't find one, but perhaps someone knows of a site (or even a current...

    ^Thank you for the reply,

  16. How do I tell staff members apart?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I currently volunteer at the L&B/PP area of the hospital. I have to check with the patients' nurses to see if they can eat their meal (when passing out meal trays). However, I never know who to...

  17. How do I tell staff members apart?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in Ob/Gyn

    wow, really?! yikes! thanks for the

  18. How likely is to sue nurses?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just read a story about a nurse accidentally overdosing the medication for a baby. Well, can the parents sue the nurse? Or do they just sue the HOSPITAL as a

  19. How likely is to sue nurses?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Nursing

    So if nurses carry malpractice insurance with them, they never have to worry about liability issues? I ask because I have been reading some recent messages posted here which state that they are...

  20. How do I tell staff members apart?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ^Thanks to everyone for their replies! I appreciate all of your comments! I still don't quite get why (some) nurses flip their badges over though. Is there a particular reason for

  21. If I already have an undergrad degree, could I transfer to a regular BSN?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a little confused by this: If I already have an undergraduate degree, could I transfer into a regular BSN program, or can I only apply to an Accelerated BSN program? I've tried to go on school's...

  22. How do I tell staff members apart?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ^Thank you for the replies everyone! It is definitely hard to talk to staff members when the hospital is always so busy. Since I am a volunteer, I kind of feel like I'm 'in the way' sometimes....

  23. Experience in the ABSN programs?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in General Students

    Do you get enough experience in the ABSN programs (accelerated BSN)? It seems like the course load is too much, and there wouldn't be much time to have experience in the field. Does anyone find this...

  24. Experience in the ABSN programs?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Students

    ^Thank you for the replies gumby & pitaya! It does seem like a challenge to maintain good grades (& maintain your sanity as well with all of those hours of school & clinics lol), but I...

  25. Have to send all transcripts? Online classes?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    (Applying to an Accelerated-BSN program) This might be a strange question, but I was wondering if the grades from all transcripts count? I have a Bachelor's degree in a non-science field, so I need to...
