I know that good grades are very important, and I plan on keeping my GPA as high as possible considering I do not have any other obligations while I'm in nursing school. My question is, what can I do to make myself a better candidate? I was thinkin...

You would think community volunteering would be on my radar but it slipped my mind somehow. Did tons of it during my prerequisite classes, will pick it up again for sure. My GPA is a 3.89 right now, plan on keeping it up that high. Thanks for the inf...

Not sure if you're still looking, but I came into South University as a junior, and I'm now in their BSN program-- not RN-BSN, just BSN. I thought it was a great transition, the school is quite nice, and as someone who has been to several universitie...

That's crazy! Tampa Bay Area starts off from $25-30!

Ahh okay, it's a stand alone surgery center... The hospitals around me ARE the surgery centers lol! Cool and good luck!!!

Yep. Dealing with this right now. Transferring with less than a year from an non accredited program into an accredited one, not gonna be done until the end of 2016 (whereas I'd be done in June 2015 if I had listened to other people... AND HAVE MY BSN...

For what you're responsible for, yes a little. I'd aim for 25-32$/ hr

Okay so long story short, I started las June in a 2 yr. ADN program. The program had some accreditations (SAC) and way okay per my BON to sit for boards. Well I just found out they are no long looking to receive CCNE or ACEN accreditation, just maint...

Wow surprised this hit 6 pgs. Thanks for all of the info ladies and gents. I don't feel so bad about transferring now... it wasn't that I felt bad, it was that I was just questioning everything... should I/ shouldn't I kinda thing.. But after looking...

What do you mean? You can PM me if you want... I'm transferring from Galen to here, I just want to know that I'm making a good choice heh.

I'm starting here in Oct but have to take a few prereqs. Applying for the BSN program in April. How do you like the gen ed classes so far?

Your school is telling people they have national accreditation and they don't?? I know we don't have it, because SAC is only regional accreditation, not national. But when confronted by the president of the campus, he tells me we have national... I ...

He's saying SAC is national and that CCNE and ACEN is not needed (which is kinda true I guess?). But marking our school as nationally accredited. Only accreditations are SAC, FL BON, COE. 2-year RN program.

It's non NLN approved.

I feel like this took a weird turn. I just wanted to know what people thought about my situation. I know around here BSNs are very desirable (they're firing RNs from the local level 1 trauma hospital) and especially ones from an accredited program. ...

One thing that I've noticed is making yourself available. I guess that kinda goes along with common sense, but still-- I've seen students just flat out avoid the CNA/ PCT on the floor so that didn't have to do something like clean someone up. It make...

The problem is this: I DO want to get my MSN as an FNP. My dream school is the school I'm transferring to anyway, and they won't take me after i complete the ADN r/t the accreditation issues. I live in an area where there are about 5-6 good nursing p...

After you graduate with your FNP, can you get more certifications? This is probably a dumb question lol but I'm just wondering (I want to go in to infectious diseases/ epidemiology).

After playing with tons of ideas on what I want to be when I grow up... er, when I graduate nursing school next May, I have finally figured it out. I was watching the news with my husband and a story came on about children who were victims of sex tra...

thanks everyone!!

Hello All, I've posted some questions in the past, and you've all been great at responding. I have a new one for you... As some of you know, I'm going to an ADN program that is only SACS accredited... but I have been in close contact with local progr...

you can join the nat'l guard with your adn?!

With the healthcare laws being pushed back, I wouldn't worry about it so much at this point... But eventually, depending on how much you love nursing, work on furthering your education to make yourself more applicable to future FUTURE jobs, and open ...

I'll have my ADN in 2015, and I KNOW I want to join the USAF. I also know that I would need my BSN to get a nursing job. I want to join and then finish my BSN after I join, but I also know that's its better to join after you have your BSN (officershi...

I will have to look into the Nat'l Guard. I will be going right into my BSN after I graduate. I want to be a nurse in the field though, not sure how much I would see in the NG. I guess I'm just anxious to get out there and start... I've want to be a ...
