  1. How different is ASN vs. BSN?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to parkj9's topic in General Students

    I can't speak for others and where they live, but where I live, I've heard that it's actually the opposite (although both types of programs are still rigorous). Just what I've heard,

  2. Where would a new grad start?

    Elizabeth Renee posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I start my ADN nursing program on the 23rd. Immediately after I graduate I plan on looking for a job while simultaneously bridging to get my BSN. I was wondering what areas in a hospital is a new...

  3. Where would a new grad start?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in Nursing Career

    It's ironic that you say that because it was my dream to do exactly that. I am still going to try but it is unlikely for me to get in because I have celiac (already tried once with the USAF and was...

  4. Where would a new grad start?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in Nursing Career

    Well I would like my BSN because I have always had flight nursing in the back of my mind where having a BSN is required. That's mainly why I asked about the ER. For hiring new flight nurses they...

  5. Who has volunteered?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I lived in Augusta for 7+ years! I did some nurse shadowing in various specialty settings at University Hospital when I was in high school. They even let me watch an open heart surgery from start to...

  6. Who has volunteered?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    7 am to 7 pm Saturdays and Sundays back-to-back for a little over a month while going to school full time and working my own separate part time job. I did it that way because I needed at least 100...

  7. Who has volunteered?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I volunteered at Madigan Army Medical Center on Ft. Lewis and I loved it. I was assigned to med-surg and did all the duties a CNA would - mainly vitals, blood glucose tests, toileting, changing bed...

  8. Almost 25 and Just starting school! Share with me your experiences and fears!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to emerald24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you know what to do, which is to buckle down and discipline yourself to get your classes started and finished with the best grades you can personally make. Nursing school is rigorous and...

  9. For those who work while in nursing school:

    Elizabeth Renee posted a topic in General Students

    How many hours a week do you recommend a nursing student work? I work full time right now as a CNA but I need to go part time once I start the program next month. I am married but do not have kids. My...

  10. Working full time AND school full time possible?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to KarinV's topic in New York Nursing

    Honestly? You're looking for a black and white answer for a situation that is so variable. Maybe it will be possible, maybe it won't. People vary. Everyone is different in terms of how much they can...

  11. Is it just me?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Froyoagogo's topic in General Students

    I think it is unfortunately the environment. The hospitals I've been in, whether it be for job shadowing or volunteering, has had several kind employees and the nurses usually love to share with me...

  12. CHEMISTRY.

    Elizabeth Renee replied to sjg8412's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second this statement. The poorest grade I ever got in college thus far is one solid C (the rest were A's and about 3 B's) and it was in Organic/Biochemistry. In my state, that class is not needed...

  13. Ever had to give up your dream job?

    Elizabeth Renee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently have and I'm still crushed as ever. For years I've wanted to be an RN in the military. I was recently accepted into a nursing program, so that half of the dream will be fulfilled while the...

  14. Army or AF?!

    Elizabeth Renee posted a topic in Government, Military

    Fair warning: this post is a little all over the place! It's really my dream to become a nurse in the US military. I just got accepted into a 2 year RN ADN program and when that's finished I will...

  15. Working and Attending School

    Elizabeth Renee replied to manatee17's topic in General Students

    I will be working 8 AM - 8 PM Saturdays and Sundays at my facility while I'm in the program starting next month (those hours have no downtime). I am nervous but I do need the money, plus they're...

    I sincerely appreciate these responses. It really does help with

  19. First Year Student Buying Textbooks!!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to misscelineangela's topic in General Students

    My school capitalized, bolded and underlined in our orientation packet that we needed the most recent editions of everything.

  20. Army or AF?!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in Government, Military

    Many of them, no. But several of the vegetarian and kosher MRE's are gluten free. But I understand that those MREs are the

  21. Ever had to give up your dream job?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in General Nursing

    I've had various soldiers express the same thing to me. The only way celiac could be a true inconvenience in my opinion is during basic. After that, I would get a pretty wide range of food choice...

  22. Army or AF?!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in Government, Military

    I think I've finally realized that it just isn't going to happen for me. Competition + celiac = hugely unlikely. I should probably start getting use to the idea of being civillian... It hit me like a...

  23. What did/do you dissect in A&P lab?

    Elizabeth Renee replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is hilarious, I love it! I dealt with a potato in lab in my first chemistry class when we were on the subject of

  24. Army or AF?!

  25. Army or AF?!

    Elizabeth Renee replied to Elizabeth Renee's topic in Government, Military

    People keep telling me to lie by omission about it since I can eat gluten w/o dire immediate consequences, but I don't feel comfortable doing that. I don't feel right about starting a job off with a...
