  1. Tablet for note taking?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to DaisyRenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  2. Didn't get in, now what?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to iheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anything in california is saturated. I'd move and you can always come back in a few years. If that's not an option retake classes and/or easy A's to boost the GPA. Also it looks like you have many pre...

  4. What type of gross things do registered nurses have to do?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to Neisha_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes but if you would of told me that nursing involved that I'd of looked the other way. With that being said now that I'm doing it as a CNA I don't even think about it. When it's in context of a real...

  6. Will First Offender keep me out of nursing?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to PaperButterfly's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'd suggest calling the BON. in Arizona you go before the board and explain yourself and they would likely allow your license for something like that. I'd not sweat it. Just call and speak with them...

  7. Nurse oncology questions?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to Bellatouchet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some BSN programs let you choose a speciality or two you'd prefer to be in for clinicals. If that's not an option, perhaps shadow an oncology

    MrsStudentNurse replied to emily12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Failed CNA Test. Should I retake it?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to alp7780's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    MrsStudentNurse replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow that's expensive but if its paid for by all means add an "easy" class I.e. interpersonal communication, psych 101... Those types of classes. Where I live it's $65 a credit. Huge difference. Either...

    MrsStudentNurse replied to angellove6776's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  23. Am I Stupid For This, Or Does It Matter?

    MrsStudentNurse replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MrsStudentNurse replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take any premonitions gained from here and flush them down the toilet. It's a resource for info, plain and simple. As for the actual job, that's your own personal evaluation. Good luck...
