  1. Accreditation is KEY! A degree from a unaccredited school may be worthless when you try to find future nursing jobs and apply to higher-degree programs. You don't want to throw years of your time and...
  2. Developmental courses are not college-level courses. They are meant to prepare you for college-level courses. They are not counted for college
  3. I've been accepted!!!!!!!!

    I wish I can say something similar in two
  4. Decisions decisions!!

    Everyone is super nervous when they are making the next big step in their lives or starting something that is going to determine the course of the rest of their lives. It is only normal. Don't let it...
  5. BSN for Spring

    If you do some research, you can find good schools that start their ABSN programs in the spring. You can consider taking a CNA course and work as a CNA during the six months before your nursing school...
  6. You are welcome! Good
  7. I think if you have a stronger urge to be a FNP than PNP, then you've made the right decision. Your decision should be determined by what you really want to do for the rest of your nursing career, not...
  8. May I ask why are you starting to regret choosing FNP? Because its number of
  9. Have you got accepted yet?!

    The school I applied to sends out letters at the very end of March or first day of April. I literally cannot bare the waiting. I've already waited for a long time, and the closer it gets, the harder...
  10. I've seen this thread response-less a few days now. I think it is because only a small minority of people are ADONs or DONs. I recommend you apply to the ADON positions that are opening in the...
  11. Help? I regret this career choice?

    If you don't want to work weekends, then don't work weekends. If you don't want to work holidays, then don't work holidays. If you think working only three days a week and having four other days...
  12. Struggle - What would you do?

    I recommend to stay in your current CNA class. I would not throw away something I already have in my pocket for something I may or may not get. Looking at certainty vs. uncertainty and making a...
  13. RN to BSN (fayetteville state, ECU, others?)

    Yes, getting BSN would definitely open up more doors. I recommend looking into UNCW's RN-BSN program. It is online and only costs around $5k, so if you have to travel or relocate during the time you...
  14. Job Searching

    Unlike first aid/CPR/AED heart saver certification, BLS certification is specifically for healthcare providers. They are required to obtain a healthcare position at most hospitals, so if the hospital...
  15. Interview and Possibilities

    Congratulations on getting the interview! I would recommend wearing business casual, definitely not scrubs. It would show professionalism and readiness if you bring a copy of your resume and CNA...
  16. I get what you are saying, but your entire post gives the impression that you are looking down on CNA's and MA's. Have you ever been a CNA or MA? I completely agree with everything Dave said. I work...
  17. BSN rant/inquire

    I always find humanities and social science classes much easier than actual science classes, so I don't really understand why you are so bothered by them. They should be the classes that could be used...
  18. Once you start your LPN job, you will find making that $400 monthly payment much easier than you expected. Get a full time LPN job first, then go part time when you start RN school. Delaying debt...
  19. Landing your first CNA job - Tips?

    Have you had any hospital volunteer experiences? Have you worked as a surgical technician, paramedic, medical assistant, or at any related healthcare fields? You can also put the clinical you've done...
  20. ASN to MSN?

    You have to do internet research on the RN-MSN programs and their different requirements. Some require you to have a non-nursing bachelor's degree, and some don't. Since you already have a bachelor's,...
  21. The Med Room.

    I would not do it in the med room. It is still a public place in a public hospital/facility. You never know anyone who is in the same room or just happen to be behind the door may report what you say...
  22. Stressed Out and Sick to My Stomach

    It is not your fault. I recommend start looking for jobs at other places where they are able to accommodate your condition. Once you get an offer, leave. This facility does not have good management,...
  23. Dying of starvation

    The whole point of hospice is making the patient feel as comfortable as possible and giving her whatever she wants, regardless of the consequences. The patient's wish is the top priority now, not...
  24. ADN v ABSN - Triangle Hospitals

    I would say start taking your prerequisites first. Although the schools here don't require the exact same prerequisite courses, many of them are the same. Afterwards, you can apply to both ADN...
  25. Durham Tech Fall 2015 ADN Program

    Same here! I cannot wait to start! Btw, your avatar picture is
