  1. LNA Health Careers is awesome!!

    arciedee replied to NHGirl5565's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not an LNA, so no advice, but just wanted to say :groupwelcome: and good luck on your licensing

  2. Where do I start???

    arciedee replied to anurse1day's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome to allnurses! This is a great resource for exploring nursing and helping you get through the journey (and beyond!). I would read through some of the forums here, especially the pre-nursing...

  3. Class Schedule...need opinions

    arciedee replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a woman in my A&P II class last fall who was in the first semester of the nursing program. She also worked full-time, as I recall. She was busy, but I think she did just fine. It really...

  4. Non-Nursing degree holder hopes to become NP

    arciedee replied to cspt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    For those of you wondering, yes, Boston College does offer a direct-entry NP program in two years and it's actually pretty well regarded, however I would imagine that it's quite intense. I know there...

  5. Direct Entry Programs

    arciedee replied to karlynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    you may want to check the graduate student forum. i remember a few threads where there were a lot of direct-entry applicants, many of them in the boston area. here are a couple....

  6. Discouraged

    arciedee replied to Ado Annie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just wanted to add my support. I agree with the previous posters' advice: take it one step/one day at a time. Easier said than done sometimes, but it will help you stay sane. You will get through...

  7. Contemplating Nursing School. Thoughts & Suggestions please?

    arciedee replied to Pikaia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In light of the fact that the school has only been open two years, I think that would explain why they are only conditionally accredited. As far as I know, most accrediting bodies require that a...

  8. Contemplating Nursing School. Thoughts & Suggestions please?

    arciedee replied to Pikaia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, CNA is Certified Nursing Assistant and is probably the same as the STNA in your state (different states call them different things... in my state they're Licensed Nursing Assistants). If you are...

  9. UNH Direct Entry Program

    arciedee replied to arciedee's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Tim, Thanks for the encouragement. I am really looking forward to this new challenge in my life. I got my letter from the nursing department yesterday followed by the official acceptance letter...

  10. UNH Direct Entry Program

    arciedee replied to arciedee's topic in General Nursing

    Bumping this up to see if there are any other UNH DEMN students out there. I just checked my application status last night and it said that I was accepted for this January! I'm hoping there will be...

  11. Hospitals in the Rindge Area

    arciedee replied to Lilnurse0803's topic in General Nursing

    Here's what I found on a quick search: Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough, NH Heywood Hospital in Gardner, MA Athol Memorial Hospital in Athol, MA Cheshire Medical Center in Keene, NH (you...

  12. Am I crazy?

    arciedee replied to goddess_of_summer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I wouldn't say crazy, but perhaps, overzealous Could it be done? Sure, but you're probably going to be one unhappy puppy. I agree with TexasAngel regarding starting off with a science, and...

  13. PENN accelerated BSN phone interview...HELP!

    arciedee replied to BlueJune's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I can't speak specifically for that program, but I would probably expect to be asked why you are interested in nursing, why you want to earn your RN through their program, what type of learning...

  14. I don't think I can do it!

    arciedee replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad that you're feeling better. I think we all do reach those low points of "What am I doing this for anyway?!?!" And the best thing to do in those is to find some encouraging, supportive people to...

  15. I don't think I can do it!

    arciedee replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow DaughterofRuth, you sound incredibly stressed out and overwhelmed. If it looks like you are going to have to retake micro would you be able to drop it now? Perhaps taking that one thing off your...

  16. school rankings?

    arciedee replied to puresass's topic in Post Graduate Students

    US News & World Report issues an annual graduate school rankings. I know they rank nurse midwifery, nurse anesthesia, and a few NP/CNS specialties. I believe the most recent one came out around...

  17. Prereqs at a Community College

    arciedee replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took most of mine at a CC, though nutrition I took at a 4-year. The CC's class schedule worked much better with my work hours. The education was fairly comparable between the two, especially as...

  18. Advice needed... NH or MA? (new grad)

    arciedee replied to MuddaMia's topic in General Nursing

    Pardon my Yankee cynicism, but I wouldn't worry about the commuter rail issue too much. It's a constant source of discussion, but it's not on the MBTA list of future projects (and judging from the...

  19. LNA Programs in NH or MA

    arciedee replied to Christine83's topic in General Nursing

    I just saw that you posted elsewhere that you were looking for LPN programs. The list I posted before is for LNA programs, obviously two different animals. I'm not sure which you are actually...

  20. LNA Programs in NH or MA

    arciedee replied to Christine83's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a list of approved NH LNA programs from the state BON web site. Hope this helps!

  21. have question!!

    arciedee replied to Jess_babygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Again, it depends on the school. It is not "easier" to get an RN from an ADN program than a BSN program in terms of academics. Many people choose to pursue the ADN because it is easier financially...

  22. Obsessing....

    arciedee replied to MuddaMia's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Just a note on the "income tax free" thing. Yes, NH does not have income tax, however if you work in Massachusetts and live in NH you still have to pay MA income tax at the same rate as MA residents....

  23. Pre-nursing...worried

    arciedee replied to gudiarani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely work hard to do as well as possible both in your nursing pre-reqs AND whatever classes you have left for your current degree. Showing that you did well in your regular coursework...

  24. AP 1 on Saturday

    arciedee replied to belleellis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did that for A&P I, A&P II, and microbiology. Our classes were scheduled for 9:00-2:30. For A&P we actually usually left early, between noon and 1:00, though I wouldn't count on that...

  25. I have a question for all of you pre-nursing students

    arciedee replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the others that you should check on the pre-reqs. I know at some schools an intro to computers class is required for the degree, in which case you might as well get it out of the way....
