    Question: BSN to RN or RN to BSN?? confused!

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

    When you see those RN-to-BSN programs means the programs are offered to ADN or diploma nurses who want to obtain their BSN. Those programs are about a year to complete. Instead of the traditional four...

    iPink replied to oldfashionedlove's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Thanks airj. I'm still in the waiting game. Not sure if the letter will be good or bad news at this point. Can you share how intense it is so far? I had a former classmate of mine get in for Spring...

    need advice from rns that became pas or nps

    iPink replied to JonB04's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you want to hear from RNs that became NPs, then you need to post this under the "Specialty" tab, not in the Pre-nursing forum. Very few NPs post in here; their hang out spot is usually in the Nurse...

    With jobs in such short supply should I still get my RN?

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

    I agree with mangopeach. Although the job market looks grim for nurses right now, I'm still going for my BSN in nursing. Job market is rough with all careers. There is no job that is recession proof....

    Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    iPink replied to louis345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Too late for nursing??? You must be new to allnurses because I've heard some wonderful and inspirational stories of people who entered nursing in their 50's. I wish you didn't listen to others in your...

    Just starting Pre-Reqs....so excited and nervous. Advice?

    iPink replied to KLP151's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started to take my prerequisites at age 27, and like you, I was disappointed I never stuck with nursing when I first entered college. Nonetheless, I'm now finished and applying to nursing schools....

    iPink replied to Mile05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished up my prerequistes at UCC and while in class there was someone discussing Muhlenberg vs. Trinitas. A teacher from Trinitas (who she is good friends with) said to go to Muhlenberg. I...

    Ask for a grade increase in anatomy?

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

    In your case fighting for a "+" would be a waste, because it's non-existent at your school. However, for students where the grading scale includes pluses and or even minuses, the fight maybe worth...

    Ask for a grade increase in anatomy?

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

    LOL. I got an 89.9 which is a B+, 90.0 is the A, do you think the teacher cared? NO! He doesn't believe in rounding. If you received the .5 away and the teacher didn't give you the extra points, that...

    having a terrible teacher

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

    Walomom: Some of those evals are a waste of time. The tenure teachers aren't worried about their jobs. The evals are optional with them. The only tenures who actually will request the students fill...

    HELP Am I about to make a HUGE mistake?

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

    $40k??? Ouch. I'm trying to get into an Accelerated BSN program that is much cheaper than that! Actually the ABSN programs by me run between $27k-30k. This is a diploma RN you're doing for that...

    career change!

    iPink replied to kristieneedshelp's topic in Nursing Career

    Are you sure you're not competitive enough for the ABSN programs in your area? When I decided to do a career change, I first looked into LPN. Well, the LPNs that I spoke to said if they could do it...

    having a terrible teacher

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

    OP, welcome to college. I've had several terrible teachers. I had a horrible Micro lab teacher. Every year people complain about her in their reviews and nothing is done. Why? Because she's tenure at...

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

    Welcome to allnurses. I too went straight to college after high school and spent 5 years "settling" on a degree. Now, four years later I'm back trying to do what I should have done many years ago and...

    Thanks Mystic for sharing that info. I'm assuming children was not something you wanted in the future? When I was diagnosed about 6 years ago, I was put on bc pills, which is meant to regulate your...

    2.35 GPA too low for Acc Bacc BSN Program?

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

    I read through some of the advice people gave you. So, hopefully I'm not repeating some things that were already mentioned. Just start searching for ABSN programs that require LESS than a 3.0 GPA to...

    Mystic: Can you tell me more about endo ablation that you mention. Currently, I stopped taking all medication for PCOS. You can PM if you like.

    Overweight Nurse?

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

    Hi and welcome to the site. I will say, for me I'm considered obese, but I also have PCOS which makes it difficult for me to lose weight. However, I am so fit. I eat plenty of veggies and lots of...

    Why did you choose to go into nursing?

    iPink replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    StangGang, I was just about to say something similar to the poster. Kristou, you have to get over the fear of blood to be a nurse too. And as a CRNA, you will be needed in surgery which deals with a...

    I am so sick....

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

    I understand your frustration too. Even though I'm not validating why those posters do it, but they do it because they are so frustrated they can't get a job as a nurse. However, we can't seem to...

    Why did you choose to go into nursing?
