  2. Rn's, are you able to do job well without chemistry class?

    33762FL replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I didn't take chemistry at the college level (I took honors chemistry in high school back in 1995) and I did just fine in nursing school and working as a nurse. If you want to take it because you...

  3. Am I too old?

    33762FL replied to psskclayton's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I don't think the factor here is age, I think it's finances (with regard to age). You'll be taking time off from working to go to RN school, paying tuition, and THEN be paying for a BSN and master's...

    33762FL replied to nurse2033's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  5. Is going into Nursing a good idea?

    33762FL replied to littletwinstar's topic in General Nursing

    33762FL replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily. it depends what aspects of the CNA job you don't like, and what aspects of an RN job really attract you. I never worked as a CNA but my first semester in nursing school, our clinicals...

  7. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    33762FL replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be concerned as well, although there is no way to know how many times a nurse took NCLEX. Isn't there a rule in Canada that if you fail the licensing exam 3 times you don't get a 4th try and have...

  8. why and how can people abuse the ER?

    33762FL replied to esunada's topic in Emergency

  11. "Don't you find this degrading?"

    33762FL replied to shhhh's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would have shrugged and just casually said "no, not at all. I love being a nurse" which is the 100%

  12. How has becoming a nurse changed your life?

    33762FL replied to Kylie53189's topic in General Nursing

    Background: I came from a corporate environment, doing human resources. It was vapid and unskilled. I felt my life had no meaning, there was nothing to strive for, limited earning potential, no room...

  13. Need help with BSN Paper for School on Health Care

    33762FL replied to bma008's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In my experience, students in RN-BSN programs who are not employed write about problems or things that happened at clinical sites they went to in nursing

  14. What to do with these kind of patients?

    33762FL replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

    We have "patient safety rooms" on a few of the floors at my facility. 4 beds to each room and one CNA in that room at all times tending to patient needs. It seems to work

    33762FL replied to Jershar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You have to buy the textbooks for every class. Weekly discussion questions require that you read the text and cite it in APA format. If you're going to do this program, you need to be willing to buy...

  19. online BSN, do the units transfer?

    33762FL replied to weavers's topic in Online Distance Learning

    In short, online BSN classes from a state university will most likely transfer anywhere, online BSN classes from for-profit schools such as Phoenix, Chamberlain, Kaplan, Grand Canyon, etc. will likely...

    33762FL replied to Mike32110's topic in International Nursing

  21. Thomas Edison RN-BSN program

    33762FL replied to choco2me's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    TESC has had an online RN-BSN program for a number of years now. It's fully accredited. It is an absolute TON of work, probably because it's online and the school is "over-compensating" for that...

    33762FL replied to Grannyof6's topic in LPN to RN

    Not unless you're independently wealthy like Mitt Romney. You'll spend a few years and an unknown amount of money going to school for your RN, and you'll give up time that you can be working and...
