  1. I will never get into a nursing school

    The Teas is hard. Don't feel bad. I'm still in disbelief when people score 92's on this test. The average at my school is a 58. So either the test is really hard or yeah.. the test is really hard. Are...
  2. Why did/are you getting your BSN?

    I have a bachelors in non science and have decided to go for LPN. When it's time for me to bridge, I'll be able to use my husband's GI Bill. If I had to pay for a BSN myself, I wouldn't get one. Sure,...
  3. Nursing School Realistically

    I'm in the same boat, but my husband is VERY supportive. He sees that when I win, he wins. If I'm happy, he's happy. Hang in there. However, there are days when I feel guilt and so much pressure for...
  4. AD VS BSN to start off...

    If all your stars are perfectly aligned and you get into all schools you apply to and money isn't an issue and you don't need to work ASAP.. I would go for the BSN. You can get it over and done with...
  5. I've been a restaurant manager, furniture store salesperson, waitress, worked in retail, managed a mental facility and much more. I've done so many things and theres always been miserable people at...
  6. LPN not taken serious

    I think it's human nature to 1 up people in our society. Doctors do it. My friend is a pediatrician and that's not seen as "challenging" or "a real doctor" to some people. My husband is military and...
  7. I'm not working now and people have lots to say about it. My theory? If you arent paying my bills it shouldn't be of any concern to you what I do, unless I'm asking you for money. My husband is OK...
  8. I'm shocked that people pay $132,000 (plus interest) for a BSN. That's insane. Yet, some of these schools allow you to start 6 times a year. In the time you spend waiting to get into a public school,...
  9. I think volunteering will be good. It will help to put you out there. Maybe you can network. At minimum, you'll get to go a hospital and feel productive. Can't hurt. I'm not sure the office assistant...
  10. Changing careers

    You need to find a way out of your job. If money is not a concern.. pursue MA. If money is an issue and you don't want to make 12-14 an hour, I'd purse something else. I don't think you should choose...
  11. I can see 100% what you mean by having a plan... but... Its competitive. Say there's someone out there with the same qualifications as you. Similar resume. BUT their interests are related to the unit...
  12. Advice and info on loans and debt.

    Knowing what I know now.. I would say work as much as you can, up until the point it interferes with school. On the flip side, lots of people can't work and go to school. But if you can manage it.....
  13. How important is experience?

    I think it all depends on what program you apply to. I've seen direct entry programs that won't consider you unless you are a CNA. I've seen some applications where there is no space to even write...
  14. 35 years old with 3 kids and thinking about nursing

    For what its worth.. I'm 26 with NO kids and still have my worries. I think its normal to question yourself. Point is- you can definately do whatever you want to do, as cliche as that sounds. Good...
  15. So confused...

    If you absolutely hate it and think you can go back to the other place.. GO!! I don't think you'll learn or benefit from a place that makes you miserable. If you're at work everyday miserable, explore...
  16. I can really offer no advice, but.. you've survived so many things. Most people would have given up long ago. Something has to give, and it will!!! Hang in there. Like others have said- maybe you can...
  17. Need help deciding what path to take...

    If loans isn't what you want to do.. get the ADN and work your way through school. In 90% of cases that will be the cheapest route. Work and put yourself through school for BSN and MSN. People will...
  18. Summer students, sound-off...

    Im taking A&P and Nutrition. Hoping to get into the LPN program and start in the fall. If not.. looks like I'll be taking BIO2 and Statistics in Fall to buy more time before nursing
  19. I can't really comment on that school, but try not to worry. Easier said than done I know. The reading part killed me too. I was all "I got this. I got this". Next thing I know I look up and time is...
  20. Chem 1 vs Bio 1

    I think you'd be better off taking BIO. With all the other bio requirements, it seems BIO1 would be a good
  21. Too FAT to be a nurse?

    I think people have been talking crap since 1761 about other people and its not stopping anytime soon. If you want to be a nurse, be a nurse. If you think you should lose weight, lose weight. But I...
  22. Teas V Exam HELP PLEASE!!!!!

    Like the other poster said, study for Reading and Language. I am VERY good in both subjects and only got a 81 on Reading and let's not even talk about Language. Just look over that. For that section I...
