Congrats -- What test are we speaking about? Edit: I googled it....good luck. From the sound of it, it's a scam! Don't forget anything!

The question did not mention birth control I don't know where you got that from. The vaccine is always the best answer and as you cannot expect the adolescent to listen to you-a stranger-about sexual intercourse abstinence, the HPV vaccine is the be...

I know a girl who went to St. Catherine's for 6 years to get her BSN (she switched from a major with zero science after two years) Sooo 6 years at $30,000 a year.... paying back your debt will be a freaking cakewalk if you can live with your parents ...

Also I didn't see Moogie mention it (sorry if he did) but to get accepted to CRNA Programs you need to have an extremely competitive GPA, as well as MANDATORY acute care experience to even be considered to most programs. 1+ years is the listed "mini...

Yea GPA's go up hard and come down easy. But I agree, getting a B is totally acceptable for this class (that you didn't like.) This B can be explained (if it even has to be) by lack of interest in the coursework, meaning you still stuck it out and f...

You start your shift at meal time, did you think about that? I'm not saying it's one departments fault, you need to look at it from both sides. So the patients we already have on the floor should take a lower priority than those that are coming up ...

It seems to be a general consensus that ED is the only Dept. that is busy. A nurse has every professional right to refuse report/refuse to care for a patient if they feel the pt. is out of their limitations. Can you imagine a world where Charge nur...

You cannot deny that some specialties are "easier" than others. The same can be said for floors in a hospital. I am a new nursing student but I have 4+ years of CNA experience (all in med/surg). Some floors in a hospital (I'm not going to name flo...

Of course I'm not superwoman... I'm superman!

So you didn't pass your first semester? Not being mean; you just didn't state it :). I also have ~3.5 going into NS and I feel [over]confident. I don't want a wake up call though so posts like this do serve a purpose (me being scared into trying my...

If you are annoying them they need to find another job. You are EXPECTED to follow up on your job applications/interviews. Send thank you e-mails for any and all interviews or face to face interactions. It's no secret the squeaky wheel gets the oi...

So I've always been a solo flyer when it comes to studying and I'm wondering if I do not act as "part of the group" if I will be asking for trouble. I was just accepted to an ADN-RN program. Clearly this is a generic question but I get the feeling ...

As a staff nurse the only difference between an ADN and a BSN is $0.25/hour, this is at least true at the hospital I work at and it is a major healthcare system. I don't see how it would be at all "safer" for patients to not allow ADN nurses and tran...

I am a male, and starting NS. I'm gay sometimes, but other times I am sad. I don't really understand why your friend wouldn't want to be gay. Gay nurses are better for patients than upset nurses.

I've been on med/surg telemetry for 4+ years as a CNA, and let me tell you-you probably won't have any downtime. If there is any go and ask your patients if they need to use the bathroom or if they need anything, go around and check everyone in orde...

I just got into NS, but I have been a CNA in med/surg telemetry for 4+ years, but I have to really agree with this. TREAT YOUR CNA'S like your colleagues and you will be rewarded. Not to toot my horn but I always get reviews that the staff love hav...

Do you think it could ever hurt to inquire about the status of your application? I don't know why people think they cannot call the place that they have applied or interviewed at and ask if they need any more information, etc. This shows that you WA...

Really it makes no difference what you get as your major. I believe the number one admitted major to Medical schools are Engineers every year. (Possibly because they are simply the smartest) Schools and programs are going to look at your grades in w...

Thanks everyone for your replies, I figured it would be like anything else in life and would be better if I went into it with an open mind :). I too find that study groups move too slow for my liking or like you all said it turns into social hour. ...

What kind of program are you in? You find out you failed your FIRST test and 6 DAYS LATER is the final?

With a BSN, you could virtually run many LTC's. Think about it, all the things that didn't "work" before you could have the power to change. I agree with others, with your RN you can make an even bigger difference in their quality of life. Plus wh...

I just got accepted and I'm not married, but we've been together 5 years and up until now she's been pretty good with everything. I am curious to see how she does now that it's the real deal. Where it's chicks chicks and more chicks for lab groups/...

Hey all so I thought I would join the forum because I was just accepted into an ADN-RN program. I look forward to using this forum a lot during school! I'm sure this question gets asked a lot, and if you can direct me to a thread that's great (My s...
