    best way to get into nursing

    iPink replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you may be confusing hospitals vs. doctor's offices. CNAs aren't nurses, therefore they are not allowed to administer medications. So, for hospitals to replace RNs for CNAs is defeating its...

    How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

    iPink replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not me and almost half-way through my BSN program. Out of about 60 students in my cohort, maybe 5 have some medical experience. There is one LPN, but she got into the program not because of her...

    iPink replied to sewk85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    leenak: Some career changes I've seen on here have actually went straight into obtaining their NP. I know myself, and I have no experience working in the healthcare field, so it only made sense for me...

    Considering BSN as 2nd Career - Help!

    iPink replied to Edgewaterguy's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm currently a UMDNJ student. During my clinical rotations the nurses who find out we are BSN students start sharing that having a BSN will help you as their hospitals are only hiring BSNs. Yes the...

    LPN or RN help!!

    iPink replied to eab12191's topic in General Students

    RN... I initially was going to do the LPN till my aunt gave me the run down. Where I'm located, which is the NE, I'm grateful for the decision I've made to do the RN over the LPN.

    I hope others will chime in to assist you. But, I'll try my best to give some advice. If those classes that you want to retake are no longer offered at your current college, can you find out IN PERSON...

    Too late to put in application for June 1 deadline?

    iPink replied to ICUchick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Above poster is correct. It is obvious you are anxious because you are worrying about submitting an application on time, before the deadline. Silly, huh? All you can do is send it in and pray and...

    iPink replied to mstacyi's topic in General Students

    Congrats!!! About your job situation, if you're going to be working on your BSN in the Fall, I'm surprised your boss didn't just hire you. That would have been nice for them to even do a tuition...

    Should we Skip RN and go straight for BSN?

    iPink replied to mamaxmaria's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I agree with AtomicWoman. I'm currently in a BSN program and without prompt, in every clinical site I go, the staff is telling us that getting the BSN was a smart move as their own hospital won't hire...

    iPink replied to futurepractitioner1's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I don't know if you can also try to apply to other BSN programs? Rutgers is competitive and I know other schools are as well, but I would maximize my chances in this situation. Good

    iPink replied to futurepractitioner1's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    If nursing is where your passion is, then go for it. You don't want to play the "what if.." game. Wait to hear while taking your major course requirements in the meantime. If you don't get in, then...

    Do I have a chance for Accelerated BSN in NJ @ Rutgers, UMDNJ, FDU, SetonHall, NJCU??

    iPink replied to nurseinnyc&nj's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm in my second semester at UMDNJ's ABSN program. No, it's not difficult to get in. It's not necessarily hard, just a lot of hard work is required to keep organized. You just need a 3.0 GPA from your...
