  1. Admission essays!!

    Have someone proof your essay for spelling, grammar, and punctuation (a former professor or someone you know who speaks/writes correctly). That's probably one thing right off the top they are looking...
  2. What was your worst professor & How did you cope??

    I would supplement by finding good You Tube or other videos on the subject matter. Also, look at other professors' websites who teach the same course, either at your school or elsewhere. They may...
  3. Rethinking my choice

    Coming from a teaching background, I think of Allnurses.com as the teacher's lounge equivalent after teachers have had a busy or stressful day. Just like nurses have HIPPA, teachers cannot legally...
  4. ADN OR BSN? Confused:(

    While there may only be a couple of pre-reqs to get into the nursing program, you will still be required to take certain core classes (English, PE/Health, etc.) to graduate with a ADN. You will use...

  7. Need Advice

    Have you thought about taking A&P I, A&P II, and Microbiology (and any other classes your school requires for the ADN), checking your GPA, and then applying for the ADN? Some schools also...
  8. Scared to death about A&P

    Sometimes, counselors and professors use the "scare tactics" for new students in the pre-reqs to see how serious they are about becoming a nurse or whatever it is they are interested in. I went to...

    When you're paying your own way through school (and/or knowing you will have loans to pay back at the end) and have studied and worked hard, you definitely don't want to see someone getting theirs for...
  10. Can I apply a BS.ed in the nursing field?

    In answering your first question, after becoming a nurse, you could take your state teaching exam for an endorsement to teach Health Occupations (or whatever your state calls it) and teach the CNA...

    No one missed him?? Re: The pt who went to the BBQ
  12. Off the books job experience issue

    Just make sure you and your old boss are on the same page if they call him for a reference check. That would be the biggest issue. I've had background checks done (credit report and for employment),...
  13. This year's flu vaccine not too useful

    Are all medical facilities and nursing schools in Georgia requiring those? I've never had a flu vaccine before, but my nursing school is requiring it because the clinical sites require
  14. I got found out!

    My aunt was at the Medical College of Georgia Hospital in CCU for months, I was always there with her, and her doctors always thought I was a nurse. That was several years ago, and I'm starting...
  15. Bravo to you school nurses!

    I'll be a nursing student in the Fall. What is the average school nurse rate of pay compared to everything else? I've heard that the average RN pay is $20/hr. before differentials in this
  16. Nursing student stereotypes

    Instead of counting sheep, I think I quote the skeletal system or something. I know I must dream about

    1) I taught school for ten years and then decided to change careers and go into nursing. I cashed in my teacher retirement. It was not the ideal choice, but it was the best choice for me at the time....
  18. One huge reason I want to be a nurse

    Thanks for the video. I, too, and making a drastic career change to go into nursing but have all ideas both of us will do just
  19. Dont make the same mistake i made on the Hesi

    That's odd that the proctor would verbalize your time remaining like that. I just kept an eye on the time on the computer. It was counting down as I answered the questions. The proctor where I...
