    Microbiology before finishing A&P?

    I took microbiology a semester before A & P 1 and 2. I did fine. Everyone has their own opinion of when to take what, but I don't think it matters as long as you are willing to

    I'm not going to lie...

    If my parents had not offered to pay for my BSN, I would have definitely gone for my ADN first. My community college has an amazing ADN program with a near perfect NCLEX rate. I know good & bad...

  5. I took all the courses that were required for the BSN program which also happened to be the same courses that I had to complete for an associate's in pre nursing at my community college. This way when...

    LPN, ADN, or BSN ? Help!

    I would do option 1. It's tuition free and a year shorter than the ADN option. Its great that you will be able to get your BSN at the end of it
  7. You want to GrnTea to be supportive yet you just put down those studying in BSN programs or who have graduated with BSN & higher degrees. Just because someone has a BSN doesn't mean they will be a...

    I AM TERRIFIED

    To one of the other posters, not financing your child's education when you can afford to is not helping them. Setting them up for debt is more likely to make them financially stressed especially in...

    I maybe in trouble, HIPPA Violation

    Just do whatever the directors asks & learn from this experience. I am continually amazed at what sorts of things people will put onto FB or how fast it can get
  11. As a warning, it can be pretty hard to get in. My fiancee is AF enlisted & his former recruiter was saying so many people are now trying to join (who have college degrees), that officer training...

    Backstabbing & Frenemies.

    Just ignore her. If she talks to you, ignore her & walk away. I know this sounds mean, but I think ignoring her is the only thing you can do. It sucks knowing she will probably talk bad about you,...

    It always helps me to put things into my own words. I am in A & P 2 now and we get power points to study off of that are based off book material. I go home, retype or rewrite the power points and...

    Is there really a "nursing shortage"

    In my area of Baltimore/D.C. I have heard that many places are asking for ADN nurses to go back for their BSN, so I guess there is a shortage of experienced BSN

    Do I need a ADN to get a BSN

    You can go into a bsn as long as you have the pre reqs done. But don't go into it just to get a job since you aren't guarenteed a job as a new
  21. If you were going to eventually aim for a BSN then I would recommend just doing it now & getting accepted into a BSN

    Microbiology Online! HELP!!

    If you are feeling overwhelmed, a W on your transcript is much better than a D or F. Withdraw if you think you have too much on your plate for this semester. If you decide to stick with the class,...
  24. Have your thought about signing up for one or two classes at a local community college? I changed majors after 1 year at a large university. I felt out of my element and alone at the large university....
