    Butterfly0328 replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally relate. I am almost done. Only 2 more classes, but one of them is A&P II and it is so hard. I have already taken it once and got a C-, so I will be re-taking it. The teacher said...

    Butterfly0328 replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I need to move to Canada. I knew a lady that missed 2 clinicals because of a death in the family and even though she had a B average she was booted. She was in the last semester. So she had to...

    Butterfly0328 replied to drowning486's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP: It really depends on your school. If you were to apply to the college I am applying to here in Nevada you would have a good chance at being accepted. However, there are a lot of schools that...

  15. ADN/BSN which would you choose?

    Butterfly0328 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    op: That would be perfect. You could work on your BSN part time while working. That way you have more time with your family, especially with the baby on the way. Good luck and enjoy those babies....

  16. ADN/BSN which would you choose?

    Butterfly0328 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One last thought. Many times, it is a personal thing in that to some it appears as if the BSN is pehaps more important, better sounding if you know what I mean. It's more impressive to tell friends...

  17. ADN/BSN which would you choose?

    Butterfly0328 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. ADN/BSN which would you choose?

    Butterfly0328 replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you checked the NCLEX pass rate for the past several years? Is the pass rate you mentioned for just one year/most current year? I would check on that first. If you have spoken to current...

  21. Starting to dislike my NA job, but still want to be an oncology nurse.

    Butterfly0328 replied to Jingles39's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My opinion is yes. You can't disregard that "light bulb moment". It happened for a reason. I have not worked with the elderly nor the cancer patients, but I would think that working as an oncology...
