  1. Need help deciding what path to take...

    Bobmo88 replied to loveofmedicine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go the route that gets you done the quickest. If finishing the BSN program is quicker than applying to the ADN program and potentially waiting to start the program then I would go for it. I...

  3. Best Foreign Language to take in College PLEASE HELP!

    Bobmo88 replied to college freshman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is extremely biased because I live in Southern California and majored in Spanish for my first Bachelor's but Spanish wouldn't be a bad option. It is the 2nd most natively spoken language in the...

  6. Why is it all so difficult?

    Bobmo88 replied to K3ndraR's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry if I come across as harsh but I am being brutally honest. If nursing were an easy career then it everyone would be able to do it. Nurses are responsible for peoples' lives so it takes time...

  7. Finishing pre-nursing later than planned?

    Bobmo88 replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I met the requirements for an ADN program but they had a long wait list. Little did I know that they had gotten grants for extra spots in the program and chose those with higher GPAs in the pre-reqs....

  8. Finishing pre-nursing later than planned?

    Bobmo88 replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend doubling up on classes only if you think you can handle them and still be able to do well. I'd say that is more important than finishing sooner. With how competitive nursing schools...

  9. Can't get into a BSN program if you don't have your ADN?

    Bobmo88 replied to amiablepau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are BSN programs (regular and accelerated) for people who do not have their ADNs. If not, they usually are called RN-BSN programs. I'm not sure why your counselor would say that unless for...

    Bobmo88 replied to Bobmo88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bobmo88 replied to norcalsurfer77's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Here is a link for every all white shoe on Eastbay. I'm debating between Nike Shox Deliver, Air-Max 90, or Aasics Gel Foundation Walker. As much as I would like to be styling for clinicals, I want to...

  12. Social life of a nursing major?

    Bobmo88 replied to futurenurse97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't started nursing school yet but I would say that you should get used to saying no to your friends. I didn't have my priorities straight while I was taking pre-requisites and hung out with...

    Bobmo88 replied to Bobmo88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bobmo88 replied to HN Cody's topic in California Nursing

    I am from the Ventura County area (about an hour north of LA) and there are no longer any schools in this county that have waiting lists. We have one BSN program with a points system and is pretty...

  15. Wondering About Changing My Major

    Bobmo88 replied to blue.girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I think your best bet is to see if a local hospital has a volunteer program in which you can actually be around nurses instead of doing something like sitting at the front desk or working at...

  16. I have a Bachelors in History... I want to be a Nurse

    Bobmo88 replied to gorlebb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend keeping your options open because nursing programs are getting pretty competitive. ADN programs require less pre-requisites and tend to be less expensive if they're public. BSN...

  18. Is it possible to be too emotional for nursing?

    Bobmo88 replied to emilyleigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. career change????

    Bobmo88 replied to JLaubach93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
