    meanmaryjean replied to Webster30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess the over-riding question here is: Do you know what LPNs do? Have you job shadowed? Does it seem like something suited to your abilities and temperament? See, the problem is, we don't know you-...

    RN to MSN with prior BA

    Is hospital nursing an unbearably dirty job?

    meanmaryjean replied to lisaniles's topic in General Nursing

    It is EXTREMELY unfortunate that I never got to film an episode of Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. What with that darned HIPAA and all- he doesn't even know that he's my next

    Freaking out..?

    meanmaryjean replied to BedtimeEnforcerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem is you are applying for RN jobs and you are not an RN. Computerized applications are going to spit you out. And you can forget about getting a call as a courtesy. Hospitals don't...

    Any ADN-BSN programs?

    meanmaryjean replied to nalie2's topic in General Students

    You are probably not going to find that you are looking for because these are not "ADN-to-BSN" programs, they are "RN-to-BSN" programs. Could you get by with enrolling as a courses only student...
