  1. RN ? NP ? Confused

    youngRNstudent replied to Jeanzi's topic in Nursing Career

    You must go through RN school before becoming an NP. You can do an online search for RN and NP and I am sure you will get a lot of detailed info. Basically an RN is a registered nurse who usually...

    youngRNstudent replied to WestCoaster's topic in General Nursing

  3. When should you start looking into a job as a new grad?

    youngRNstudent replied to szccdw's topic in General Nursing

  5. When should you start looking into a job as a new grad?

    youngRNstudent replied to szccdw's topic in General Nursing

    You are DEFINATELY not too early. When I had two semesters left, I looked into a few hospitals, and I ended up getting a CNA/Student nurse worker job there (which I highly recommend doing). There is...

    youngRNstudent replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    youngRNstudent replied to HisTreasure's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Cost of living does play a big role (since the cost of living here is outrageous!) The $25/hr is for a new grad position (no experience) Typical RN's with experience are around $30 now I

  9. BSN requirement for all RNs

    youngRNstudent replied to cindylousmith's topic in General Nursing

  13. BSN requirement for all RNs

    youngRNstudent replied to cindylousmith's topic in General Nursing

    I am in an ADN nursing program, and I don't think a BSN is NECESSARY to become an RN (Although I am going back to school for it as well as my Master's). It doesn't matter if you have your ADN or your...

  14. "Do it yourself surgery" on Discovery channel

    youngRNstudent replied to Sis123's topic in General Nursing

    I JUST watched that two hours ago!!!!!! I would say its "medically accurate". They are real stories of real people (of course the scenes are re-enacted) but I would say it was a very good replication...

  15. Wanting to Work in California, I need to know everything.

    youngRNstudent replied to Nurseboi's topic in California Nursing

    Most places do work 12 hour shifts, and you would work only 3 days a week. That would be considered full time. Of course, there is a nursing shortage and you could definately work more (more $$$ of...

  19. Any ADN programs that have no prereqs?

    youngRNstudent replied to amber74's topic in California Nursing

    I have not heard of any ADN programs w/the pre-reqs built in (although that would be nice!) There are too many pre-reqs. It took me 1 year for the pre-reqs and then 2 years for the ADN program. Why do...

  20. How early should I apply for jobs after graduation?

    youngRNstudent replied to pittdidi's topic in California Nursing

  22. What are Ca salaries really like?

    youngRNstudent replied to creeves's topic in California Nursing
