  1. Totally agree with looking at cultural influences on caregiving for parents.... My grandmother has lived with us since she was 65 (now 89) and there has never been talk of putting her in a nursing...

    Conflicted about my next step to becoming a nurse

    Your best bet is to probably call the nursing schools around you to make sure you have everything you need to apply. Because you have a bachelors already, you can also apply for an accelerated...

    Help with A&P

    You are like me! I didn't pass my summer session of A & P. It was just too short of a time period, and I was taking chemistry... ugh, awful. I can't wait until this semester finishes so my grade...

    Physiology anxiety!!

    I agree with the PP, SI is a God send! I am actually going tomorrow morning from 9 am to 12 pm because it's so helpful! My teacher also does power points, but I use a notebook to write along. I do not...

    LPN to bsn bridge, i need info:(

    I think Indiana State University is the only online program for LPN to BSN, but I am not sure about for profit schools like Kapella, Chamberlain, etc. Some community colleges offer affordable LPN-ADN...

    Never live with a fellow student!

    I think that's where it is hard to determine how you should handle the situation. You need to stand up for yourself without making your home life any more unbearable. There is a fine line in between...

    Never live with a fellow student!

    It stinks you are living with someone like that. I agree with JillyPlot: tell her your recorder is busted, spend more time in the library, and give her misinformed

    Why get my BSN?

    Where I live, even ADNs who have worked for many years are being asked to go back now for a BSN. So even if you don't do it now, eventually it will be necessary. Sometimes the hospital you work at...

    Ok this may be a rant but....

    I hope you weren't assuming that I am one of the snooty ones. And when I say higher nursing education, I meant that you have a higher nursing degree with a BSN... which is the truth. It doesn't mean...

    Talked out of nursing by others and myself....

    To the OP, I am 20, have no kids, and am a traditional college student (went to college straight after high school) so can not help in terms of you going back to school. But I can say you should...

    Feeling kind of burnt out.

    I can only imagine how burnt out you are, especially in an accelerated program! Try to give yourself one "non nursing" day a week. Or at least set a few hours once a week where you relax or keep your...

    A Success and Failure

    I know it is disappointing, but just continue to do your best! You are NOT a bad student. As you said, you don't do the bare minimum so just find out where you went wrong and correct the problem. You...

    How to enhance my appeal?

    I'm in Maryland too! I don't know if you are planning to apply to UMB, but they require a resume, so volunteering would look good. I volunteered at adult day cares, summer camps, animal shelters, and...

    I want to quit :(

    My S/O has been away for 5 months (he is in the military) It is REALLY hard, but I take it one day at a time. I totally understand your vent though! Just keep at it, every day is one day
  20. Why not unit secretary at a hospital? All you need is a GED or high school diploma. You can get 12 hour shifts a couple days a week. Look into hospitals in your area to see if there are any

    TEAS V Exam

    I agree with sacnurse. The science is hardest and there's a heavy dose of it. Why waste money trying to rush it? Take a couple pre reqs and try to schedule it for next (or summer... I still don't see...
  24. I live in a small town in MD and found that the smaller towns have hospitals that are still hiring ADNs (rather than the bigger/more renowned medical centers). As a (future) BSN, working there would...

    If you are becoming distracted, I recommend studying in increments. 15 minutes studying, 5 minutes break, 15 minutes studying, 5 minutes break, etc. Also, figure out when you study best. I know many...
