1. How did you guys realize that nursing was for you?

   MountainRnEMT replied to afa2352's topic in Male Students

   I was already an EMT and decided to go to Paramedic school. All of the Medics I worked with told me if I had the option, to do nursing...more $$ and more options. I like working in clinical environments (ie. ED), I never liked working out of a rig. N...

2. Dating for Men in Nursing/Nursing School

   MountainRnEMT replied to Raymond CA's topic in Male Students

   I do not date my classmates...that would be crapping where I eat. I like the above line better. I am in a 27 to 3 ratio in my class and the other classes are about the same at NAU. Our recent accelerated program has 12 guys in it...***? We just playe...

3. Lpn? Rn? Bsn? Help me out here ;)

   MountainRnEMT replied to beochicken's topic in Male Students

   I too would highly recommend BSN, but it depends on where you will work. ADN are RNs and can work in hospitals and it takes a little less time. the last year for me will be mostly theory. All my clinical skills will be gleaned from the first two year...

4. Online Science Courses

   MountainRnEMT replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

   Organic required a science kit and software. Inorganic only required the software. You come into the lab and turn on the burner, mix cultures, etc...They even ding you for not turning off the light when you are done. The software was quite sophistica...

5. Online Science Courses

   MountainRnEMT replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

   I honestly do not know, but I can't imagine that an online nrsing program would deny nline pre-reqs. Be careful of Excelsior. More and more states are not accepting Excelsior grads for licensing because of the lack of clinicals hours.

   MountainRnEMT replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

   Excelsior accepts all kinds of classes. It is nor very rigid at all. Even from LVN programs. You have to be an LVN or at least a Paramedic to apply to their program. Be careful. Some states are no accepting Excelisior including California.

7. Online Science Courses

   MountainRnEMT replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

   I am finding that most schools are not scrutinizing the classes that much. As long as it is from an accredited college, it is ok. Some may need descriptions, but the descriptions do say lab included. I did do labs. Most schools simply do not have the...

8. Online Science Courses

   MountainRnEMT replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

   I took A&P I & II as well as Microbiology and I am about to take Chemistry. Other than the price, I think it is great. The labs in Microbiology were good. I am not so sure about the labs in A&P, as they were lind of stupid, but I guess I ...

9. TEAS questions

   MountainRnEMT replied to Lilac's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took the TEAS last Friday. If you didn't get the manual from ATI...GET IT! And do it cover to cover. Alot of that material is stuff that I haven't covered since High School or at least early college. The manual gives you the tips you need and a lo...

10. I'm waiting too

    MountainRnEMT replied to Nurseismade RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am about over the nursing school waiting game. I have already been through one round of rejection having applied to Accelerated Master's Programs (an option avaialble because I have BA). When all of those came back rejected, I decided to apply to c...
