    Best Path to Becoming a neonatal nurse

    RLtinker replied to Nakia_prospective_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well if you have a BS then you can go BS to BSN. I am not completlly sure about the details though, but I believe Allnurses has a forum just for that subject. The cheapest program in Indiana is going...

    how far do you drive for school

    RLtinker replied to tierra399's topic in General Students

    That was not fun at all I drove from Avon to Lawrence to get to my 8 am class this morning, left early and still ended up being 20 minutes late for class. Not a good first impression. But at least...

    International Versions of Textbooks - Smart way to save? (Specifically A&P)

    RLtinker replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's usually the newest edition of whatever book it is they normally use. If I remember correctly, that is every three years or so...usually. Not that the information has changed in that time....

    A&P PLEEEASE help!!!

    RLtinker replied to sk8inghunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think I would agree with this. While I wouldn't have suggested taking AP1 as an 8-week course, a background in biology isn't necessary nor would it be helpful for most of the class. OP-I...

    RLtinker replied to nomsa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, there are I think about five different Nursing school exams. Including the NLN, HESI, NET,and the PSB. There are even multiple versions of some of these. For an example there is a version 4 and 5...

    Skills Lab kit

    RLtinker replied to Yummy Chocolate's topic in General Students

    Oh, the TEAS people.. will we ever get away from them? Major, by any chance are you going to Ivy tech? Because I noticed in the nursing pack there are $353 in ATI testing fees. I just wondering if...

    Need advice on nursing programs

    RLtinker replied to lawly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What you mentioned is actually the long route. Since you already have a BS have you looked into a BS to BSN program. I think they usually are 1-2 years. Most major universities with a four year...

    Fastest way to learn spanish?

    RLtinker replied to USMCseng's topic in General Students

    Some times I wonder how many people that suggest immersion have actually tried it. But anyway, learning a new language is an active exercise not a passive one. A formal class would definitely help,...

    Med Term online or lecture

    RLtinker replied to heavenbound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did the live lectures. Well it was mostly live. There were lectures and the tests were all on campus, but the home work and quizzes were all online. We didn't have an oral version like Halkogirl's...

    are student loans worth a nursing education

    RLtinker replied to kjj007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where are you going that is is going to cost 60K? I don't know if you can do it with a masters but you might want to look into a BS to BSN program? They are usually shorter than a traditional program....

    grades

    RLtinker replied to nazareth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to check your schools policies and talk to a councilor. If you transferred, usually only c's and higher will go with you to your new school. If a grade is over a certain number of years,...

    Do I want to be a nurse for the wrong reasons?

    RLtinker replied to Diane in Ohio's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think there are all sorts of nursing jobs to fit all sorts of personalities. Age really isn't a factor either. Now I don't think you have to be the most personable person, but it is kind of...

    How Many Hours Of Studing Required For A&P1?

    RLtinker replied to Ayvasmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it depends on you. The general rule is 3 hours per credit hour, though I could honesty say I have never spent 3 hours per credit hour studying for any of my classes. I think in AnP I spent...

    Where to begin with anatomy

    RLtinker replied to kbucksn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes I like to listen to lectures on itunes. They are usually free, but some teachers are better then others. As far as I know most (i am assuming AnP 1) start out with basic cell structure,...
