    HELP!Community Health bachelors degree vs. possible associates degree in nursing?

    NurseGirl525 replied to raquiqui94's topic in General Students

    An associate degree is RN, not LPN. LPN is a diploma which is why it is probably at a vocational school. How are your grades now? You need to decide what you want to do career wise and just do. If...

    Avoiding patients hitting on you

    NurseGirl525 replied to Kitkat1212's topic in General Students

    Not a big deal in my opinion. I find it flattering when someone hits on me and I will always politely decline and thank them but say I am taken. This should not even be on your radar in nursing...

    BSN from 4 year program required

    NurseGirl525 replied to tokmom's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have not read the entire thread but I think you are reading too much into it OP. They just want to make sure someone has a BSN or what is considered a 4 year degree. It is taking me 3.5 to get my...

    I wore contacts with my safety goggles for every lab. I was fine. As long as the goggles are on there should not be an

    Working, family and school...HELP!

    NurseGirl525 replied to Asmyth12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have a lot on your plate. You need to decide what is important. You won't get into nursing school if you are barely making the min. GPA. GPA is very important to get into nursing school. If a...

    Cna and rn duty differences?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Wutermelon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would like to second the fact that a CNA is not a nurse. LPNs and RNs are licensed nurses. A CNA is a certified nursing assistant. While each plays a role in the health care management of a...

    RN - In USA

    NurseGirl525 replied to chinnu34555's topic in Nurse Registration

    You will most certainly have to pass the NCLEX to be able to get licensed. I would contact immigration and see what all you have to

    can I become an RN?

    NurseGirl525 replied to jessicajessica923's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why don't you look at becoming a citizen? I also think there are things such a student visas but I would think your work permit has a time limit on it? I would look at immigration laws in the U.S....

    Is nursing school worth it?

    NurseGirl525 replied to CantDecideUsername's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    $75k still sounds like an awful lot for an ABSN. First off let me say, an ADN would not be a step backwards. It would be a degree and you would have the same exact license as a BSN. You could then...

    NurseGirl525 replied to SuzieHelper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 38 and starting the program this fall. I will be 40 when I graduate. I don't think it is ever too late. Many of my friends at school are older than me. Some are over

    Rejected from nursing school

    NurseGirl525 replied to jdaniel10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm guessing the receptionist was right. After getting to know you, she felt you deserved another chance. Take the advice she gave you and do well on the interview this time!! Don't question it,...

    Help! I think I *need* to be a nurse! :)

    NurseGirl525 replied to ShanMiran's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Just going to throw this out there, when do you plan on sleeping? I think it's a valid question before you spend the time and money on this. I applaud anyone that can homeschool because I do not...

    Looking for an intermediate algebra course

    NurseGirl525 replied to Audrey_J's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My intermediate algebra was 5 credits but there was no way you could do it in 4 weeks. More like an 8 week class at the very least. So they are out there but not in 4 weeks. I think you are being...

    I hear ya!!! I'm 5'1" and have a double dd to triple ddd chest. Finding tops to fit me is a nightmare. I'm a medium petite pant and usually have to get an extra large top which is still too big...

    Help! Accused giving more narcotics than peers

    NurseGirl525 replied to h8bootheel_mo_rn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have a question that maybe someone can answer for me here. How does a nurse get accused of this? Don't you have to have a MDs orders to issue the narcotics? So how does someone get into trouble...

    What would you do?

    NurseGirl525 replied to TRIcat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need the A&P and you need to do well in it. My suggestion to you is to not take the EMT courses. Unless at some point you want to get into that. Also I would not do ECG interpretation. Not...

    how do you apply for prerequisites?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ichtus2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with you. I couldn't imagine starting school with a newborn!! I know how exhausted I was and I stayed at home. So just take your time. School will still be here when your baby gets a...

    hate CNA = hate nursing?

    NurseGirl525 replied to pre-unsure's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with RunBabyRun. I don't think anyone says I love cleaning up poop. But that is just one aspect of what nurses do. They do so much more. Some places will have CNAs to help, others won't....

    Graduating High School with ASN

    NurseGirl525 replied to KCW98's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What you would be able to do while you are in high school is probably do the prereqs. You would have about a year to year and a half of prereqs to do. The nursing program itself is full time and...

    how do you apply for prerequisites?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ichtus2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The last summer classes started June 9th. They usually allow a week late. So it is probably too late for summer. But honestly if you apply online it tells you everything you need to do. That is...

    Fresh bachelors, but need to start over?

    NurseGirl525 replied to adaroteiji's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to submit all previous transcripts when you apply to the college and nursing program regardless. I had to submit mine from a local business college I had gone to like 20 years ago. And it...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Onthefence1913's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a huge career change. Why do you want to switch? You are going to have a problem getting financial aid since you already have 1 degree. I agree with pmabraham that going the community...
