  1. How to prepare for an A&P summer class?

    knnyz replied to pinkrain94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Watch Youtube lectures on digestive, endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. It doesn't have to make sense now, but it's helpful to be exposed to it since...

  2. Future of nurse practitioners

    knnyz replied to TheYouthOfMedicine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can't imagine msn and np programs going anywhere anytime soon. They are too vital to primary care at the moment, and you can see that with more and more states giving NPs independence and autonomy. If...

  3. Pre-Nursing PreReq Questions

    knnyz replied to lylunistar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Focus on one step at a time. But plan for the future. Prereqs like anatomy and physiology 1 and 2 is core, take them ASAP. and do well in them. I don't think a refresher course is necessary, because...

    knnyz replied to Abkelk's topic in General Students

    knnyz replied to BelindaPate's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NP programs are easy to get into, but I hear that finding a preceptor is the biggest hurdle and significantly delays graduation Sent from my HTC One using

  6. Need advice first job speciality but really like primary care

    knnyz replied to MICUVT's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats! I think if there's no other way, secure the job in the thrombosis clinic and build np experience that way, and move up from there. Have you tried retail clinics? Sent from my HTC One using...

  7. Nursing Schools are so stupid...

    knnyz replied to HeyYouNotYouYou's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep practicing on questions you got wrong. I hate when people say that they aren't good at a particular subject, and end up defeating themselves because of it, brooding over the fact. Not that I'm...

  8. Job is all lined up! Woo hoo!

    knnyz replied to rubato's topic in General Students

  9. fastest ADN to BSN program

    knnyz replied to lisasc60's topic in School, College Programs

  10. How much to know before nursing?

    knnyz replied to SeattleNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Completed Non-Accredited Nursing Program, But Want Higher Education. Help!

    knnyz replied to TheCommuter's topic in School, College Programs

    Spectacular article! At the moment I think I'm most interested, of all of the ones listed, in WGU for my future RN-to-BSN program. From my research, they seem too good to be true almost; cheap...

  12. Why your local physician group is wary of hiring a new graduate nurse practitioner

    knnyz replied to chillnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was wondering if your bold statements can be backed up with evidence. What constitutes difficulty? Does that mean more years of schooling mean better nurse practitioners? Or does it just mean more...

  13. What was your favorite topic to study in A&P?

    knnyz replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everything about the circulatory system in A&P 2 because you gotta know that system like the back of your hand (and then some) if you want to get into ICU for Anesthesia school (so I've heard)....

  14. I'm am worried about myself in nursing? Advice needed!!

    knnyz replied to aaron1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Once you understand your role as a nurse, you remove the fear aspect. You will understand your scope of practice of nursing throughout nursing school, especially through clinicals and rotations. If...

  15. Is it worthwhile to become a CNA before going to nursing school?

    knnyz replied to little-chick2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've always thought about this too. Currently in my last round of prereqs before applying to clinicals, and I'm really hard-pressed to just take a CNA course (for a $1000) and work ASAP, just to get...

    knnyz posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Anyone know what are the rules to work as a CNA here in NY? Heard that if you pass a fundamentals of nursing course, you can sit through a CNA program, or simply just work as one. Don't really have...

  20. Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

    knnyz replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting my ADN now, have a goal of becoming a nurse practitioner or CRNA. It's still very early to decide but at the moment - leaning towards FNP! Don't really have an interest being a floor nurse for...

  21. cheapest rn to bsn bridge program?

    knnyz replied to knnyz's topic in Online Distance Learning

    WGU sounds like a bargain! And it seems like a fast (and rigorous) program, just what I'm looking for. Did anyone who graduated from WGU, or other online programs, go for their MSN? And did they have...

  22. Analyze my PAX RN test scores?

    knnyz replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is very competitive. It also depends on what your program looks for specifically. For example, my school looks heavily on Verbal and vocabulary for some reason,rather than science and math. It's...

  23. BA in Non-Nursing Field -->BSN or MSN after ADN?

    knnyz replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I'm assuming that most of the courses for the RN to bsn bridge are liberal arts anyway if I'm not mistaken, give or take a few nursing theory classes. I don't think there are clinicals since this...

    knnyz posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey guys - so I was hearing from several colleagues that if you already acquired a bachelors (BA, not BS - does it matter?), and complete an associates RN program, you can go straight to a masters...

  25. BA in Non-Nursing Field -->BSN or MSN after ADN?

    knnyz replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Always thought about this but never seen anyone actually take this route. I am in the same situation, got a BA and doing ADN now. Very likely I'll be accepted to clinicals at this time (4.0 on all...
