    hospitalstaph replied to apaisRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    hospitalstaph replied to mishayla96's topic in Ob/Gyn

  6. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    hospitalstaph replied to e_pigpig's topic in General Nursing

    I want to be a nurse for many reasons. First I really think that it suits my personality and I tend to be very technical in everything I do. Also, the wages and job security don't hurt:) I also...

  10. advantages of BSN vs. ADN

    hospitalstaph replied to katiebugg's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I heard the too from a college recruiter. She also had a very insulting attitude about me "only" going part time so that I can spend time with my kids while they are little. This only made me decide...

  13. 2-4 year waiting list?!?

    hospitalstaph replied to Achoo!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would agree that GPS should not be the only determining factor. But I am not "acing high school" I am acing my prerequesites. If GPA is not a factor then what is? All of the BSN programs in our...

  14. 2-4 year waiting list?!?

    hospitalstaph replied to Achoo!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually at the program (ADN) that I applied to my 4.0 means no more than someone else's 2.5. Sad huh? The requirement is atleast a 2.5 and above that we are all on the same playing field:( Good...

    hospitalstaph replied to TamelaRN2B's topic in General Nursing

  20. Question Regarding Hourly Rates for RNs

    hospitalstaph replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    H! I am a nursing student in KC. From what I have heard it is better to cross the state line into Kansas. A Kansas hospital about 15 minutes from my house pays 19.75 for new grads with a 2.00 night...

  21. Tech school vs community college...

    hospitalstaph replied to TamelaRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    hospitalstaph replied to TamelaRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Tamela, Wow, Penn Valley is popular but I did not realize the list was that long. I am fairly confident that I will get in during the semester that I want but maybe I shouldn't be. I included a few...
