    Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    Bbett replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    It might be a good idea to make it required. It might make sense because then the actually RN program might be slightly shorter. In my program the first 16 weeks was essentially learning PCT/CNA/NA...

    Would you quit over white uniforms?

    Bbett replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    I think the wording of how I described my degree doesn't detract from the topic of the thread. Take your negativity

    Would you quit over white uniforms?

    Bbett replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only 24 and I wouldn't mind if nursing went back to white. I'm about to be graduating with my RN license in two months and our school doesn't even give a pinning ceremony anymore! I feel that this...

    Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Bbett replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The flu to this day is the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced. I was 20 and healthy. I weighed 140 at 5'7". After the flu I was 115. That is NOT a healthy weight for someone my height....

    Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    Bbett replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Being a CNA is what paid for my nursing school can't beat getting a job making 14/hr without any experience/schooling. I believe it has helped me in nursing school

    If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    Bbett replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    Like you said "this may be a different thread" but I still want to comment. I don't believe it's elevating the practice because after my ADN the only classes I'm missing before I get my BSN completed...

    Bbett replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    Would someone just take the NCLEX again instead of settling for a lower degree when they worked harder and longer for it? This post makes zero

    Do Nursing Students Have a Life?

    Bbett replied to BellaInScrubs's topic in General Students

    To the people complaining that they had "no life": Don't you realize working, having a job, taking care of a baby, having pets, etcetera are all having a life? What more of a life do you want?...

    Do Nursing Students Have a Life?

    Bbett replied to BellaInScrubs's topic in General Students

    It really depends on what you mean by "have a life" I'm a full time nursing student and I take an extra class each semester to get my BSN done faster. I also work between 25-40 hours a week depending...

    What was the most helpful thing you did to successfully pass your nursing degree?

    Bbett replied to Zyrv's topic in General Students

    It depends on the person. Group studying is NOT for me because not everyone takes school as seriously as I do. From my experience group studying leads to disaster, but I've heard opinions say...

    BSN programs are harder than ADN

    Bbett replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    I didn't read through all of the comments so I apologize if I'm repeating something. If I had to pick I would say ADN is harder. We are in school for more hours than a BSN. I have a friend going to...

    NCLEX stopped at 86

    Bbett replied to katkat916's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It's worth the 8 dollars to me if you have to wait 24 hours either way

    Math Help Please.

    Bbett replied to Sarahjohnson39's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    While math was not a requirement for my program, we did have to get above a 90 on our HESI which would assume that someone could pass basic middle school

    do you wash your hair every day?

    Bbett replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Everyone's hair is different obviously. The whole "it gets less greasy the less you wash it" does NOT work for me. I just use sulfate free shampoos and I wash my hair every day. I don't have dry hair...
