So I am debating on whether or not to choose engineering or nursing as my major. I have done much much research on both professions, I have also shadowed a nurse that I know during her job to get an idea of what nursing is about. I have interest in b...

I saw your previous thread/post and realized you applied to the same school I did. I received an interview invitation for January. My stats are eerily similar to yours so I too am surprised you were not granted an interview. My science and overall GP...

I have an interview as well Jan 18th

I'm Currently applying for Anesthesia school, application deadline is November 1st so I have time to prepare my application before submission but I do have worries regarding my stats for school. My stats are as follows: -3.44 cumulative GPA. Graduate...

Questions are in the title; I'm just wondering what the average age range for students starting their programs is.

No regrets so far. The things that really drew me away from engineering as it comes down to it is that I'm honestly not that good at math and probably would both dislike and have a hard time juggling the math heavy course load, as is the nature of en...

What a way to revive an old thread! I'm happy to say that I am now a practicing RN on my local hospital's stroke and neurosurgical unit and just recently received a nice little pay raise.

Is it very often that RN's get to scrub in on surgeries, or are the RN's more exclusively becoming circulators while the surg techs take over scrubbing in?

I'm not talking about lab coats. I'm talking about the thin and light scrub jackets that have buttons on them and the tapered, elastic cuffs. Mostly I see only women nurses and lab techs wearing these, what about male nurses when it gets extra cold?

The externship I participated in looked at overall GPA and not just individual grades in your Nursing courses.

Hot? In an OR? Surely not.

This is purely speculation from my own personal encounters in my locality. Is it just me or does it seem like LPN's are on the rebound in terms of being hired. I know a large consensus of people find the LPN is being phased out, as not even 2 year RN...

I will graduate with my ADN come December and plan on applying to RN-BSN programs soon after that. One option I have to attend an rn-bsn program from a fairly well known state university in my state. The program will take 2 years, mostly online, and ...

Yeah the online program through IWU used to have a clinical component, but no longer does. My main reasoning is that I will be working full time, as a new grad RN. Having clinicals is one thing, but doing it when you are work full time as a new grad ...

Both of the schools I listed above are CCNE accredited.

I will graduate with an ADN in December of this year, probably won't take (and hopefully pass!) the NCLEX until sometime in January. I was browsing my local hospital's job openings today and noticed an RN position in a unit I would really like to wor...

I'm not sure, but people can and do graduate and become good nurses, everyone that graduated last year had an RN job upon graduation, whether locally or in another town. My main concern is the grading system. Yes, any third person viewer can simply s...

I'm entering my 4th semester in my program with 9 people. We started with 25. My school has the highest NCLEX pass rates in the surrounding area. Nobody at all in my program has managed to make an A in any of our classes so far and only a select few ...

Does anyone know what the bio-patches are inoculated with?

OP I could swear you are talking about the same situation I see in my local area. We have one ADN program in my area (that I attend) and a BSN program that is an extension from a university a few cities away. All of the examples you cited in you orig...

I constantly hear stories of how doctors, fellow employees, supervisors, and disgruntled patients alike always uses nurses as a punching bag. So despite those issues, do nurses really get respect for anything they do, by anyone? Another question is a...

What other kinds of interview questions did they ask?

If you don't mind me asking, why did you bomb the interview? I'm located in KY, and if I ever went to CRNA school, either the military or Murray would be my first choice.

A little background: I'm just starting the final year of my nursing program. Our clinicals allow for us to have certain observation sites are various hospital units, one of them being the ICU. I have a very strong interest in critical care and would ...

Fall 2013 is my final semester. Yes, there is in fact an externship at my hospital for nursing students during the summer. I will most definitely be applying with hopes of going to the ICU/CCU. However, I don't even currently work at the hospital and...
