    Rn to bsn bridge program

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Lrodrig1089's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm in a dual degree ADN/BSN program. BSN programs are way too competitive to get into (1000+ applications for 75 seats??) so I went the associate's route. My school offers a dual-joint degree program...

    I didn't get into Nursing School!! Help!!

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    Your GPA is too low, you'll have to retake your pre-reqs. My school (which is an ADN program) wouldn't even accept your application if your GPA is less than a 3.0 and the average for my class I think...

    Have any of your patients ever told you that you're a good nurse?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm still just a student, but I've been told by patients and families that I'll be a wonderful nurse. Like others have mentioned, it has absolutely nothing to do with my skills or knowledge as a...

    words to live by! I'm just so scared to go for the danskos because they're so pricey and they felt soooo rigid! I bought the timberland pro renova shoes and they're uber supportive but the top is just...

    Good nursing shoes for high arches

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Jenn003's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Outside of school I wear toms, flats, or am barefoot almost exclusively so this idea sounds great to me. It's just finding "uniform appropriate" shoes that I'm having a hard time with! I'll have to...

    Good nursing shoes for high arches

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Jenn003's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I tried a few pairs of danskos out but the top of the shoe is soooo tight against my metatarsals that I can't walk around without bruising the tops of my feet, even if I size up so far that the shoes...

    I bought all of mine too. My fundamentals text is new because we'll use it through to NCLEX, but the others I bought used since they're mostly just support texts. Orientation is the day before class...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Fredled's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Fredled's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed. The first time I read this I read it at face value. Then I thought about how I would feel if my boyfriend took this route to help me through school. The questions you're asking, OP, might be...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to Fredled's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's so sweet of you to care so much about her well being in school! I think the most important thing that you can do for her is to be understanding of her lack of time to devote to you. She will be...

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to sunshinebright's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it really this difficult to get into a nursing program?

    frenchtoastwaffles replied to kariace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
