    Help out an aspiring nurse?

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

    You will not be able to get your RN in 2 years. Think around 3-4. You will have prereqs to do with any ADN program. Mine took about 3 semesters. Then you need to make sure you go to a school where...

    Does drinking more water make you thirstier?

    NurseGirl525 replied to No Stars In My Eyes's topic in General Nursing

    It could be that your body is not absorbing it if you don't have enough sodium. Water follows sodium and glucose in absorption in the renal system. So when your body decides that you need water and...

    What can ADN nurses achieve with a BSN other than accumulating more debts?

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

    Seeing as how you have posted several threads about not trusting your advisor and apparently having an issue with the school you are going to, I have to wonder what the point is. Ok, you are having...

    Are Academic Advisors Trustworthy

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

    I have never had an issue my nursing advisor. My regular advisor when I first entered the school really did not have a clue. If I had listened to her I wouldn't be applying to the program until...

    License vs Seniority

    NurseGirl525 replied to mickeypat's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would think that if you were both LPNs you could say something but seeing as how this person is a RN and you are a LPN, there is a difference there. There are both 2 different jobs so there really...

    What are the toughest classes in nursing school?

    NurseGirl525 replied to JDK1's topic in General Students

    I agree with everyone that said it depends on what you already know. For me, I am not expecting pharm to be that hard. I have a lot of different illnesses and have been on meds for as long as I can...

    Acute care/New grad

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

    CNA does not equal RN. They are two completely different jobs. If they did equal each other, I would just get the training to be a CNA. Why would I bother getting my RN license? Becoming a CNA...

    Nudity in healthcare classes education or violation?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    I am not really understanding why there is an issue now. This happened several years ago, you refused, no action was taken against you, and you have left the school. If you are still having issues,...

    Most terrifying thing?

    NurseGirl525 replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't say I am really terrified of anything. I am not there to make friends or anything like that. I could honestly care less what people think of me. I know in some of my classes these past...

    Is It Necessary?

    NurseGirl525 replied to osi2011's topic in General Students

    I have one. I use it for different things. Pmabraham is the expert on the ipad. I do not take notes with it. Most of my teachers would print out outlines and we would use them. I did download the...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Leonardsmom,LPN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    38 here and started school last fall. I have really enjoyed it and am finding I do so much better now. I don't know if it is maturity or wisdom but it's

    What will happen with all of the ASN programs now BSN is the norm?

    NurseGirl525 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    BSN's are not the norm. Do not believe everything you read on the internet. Take some time and do some research about the job market in your area. There are many different ways to get your...

    RN-BSN SCAM

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

    Every school you mentioned is a for profit school. I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. Also what does it mean when you say that school will give you 35 credits toward your BSN NCLEX. The...

    a&p repeat HELP!

    NurseGirl525 replied to drea3303's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just know that just because it says a 2.5 is needed to apply that is just a minimum requirement. You usually need at the very least somewhere in the 3.0 to 3.5 to be considered and usually around a...

    Pre-Nursing Concerns

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

    It amazes me the amount of kids who come on here with discouraging parents. This is your life, and you only get one, so live it for you and no one else. I guess I was extremely fortunate that my...

    Good Job for Nursing Student?

    NurseGirl525 replied to SeanPN777's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know that being a PCT necessarily gives you an advantage. When it comes down to it you will be doing clinicals at the same places as all of your other classmates and you will all graduate and...

    2nd Degree BSN / career changer

    NurseGirl525 replied to Grad 2020's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would look and see what the hospitals are hiring in your area. What is your GPA from your previous degree? Nursing school is extremely competitive to get in to. You can look at ABSN programs but...

    Apology from a doctor!

    NurseGirl525 replied to JasBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a boss in retail that I absolutely did not like years ago. He was the DM and would call his store managers and just cuss them out all of the time. Customers on the sales floor could hear him....

    What inspired you to be a nurse?

    NurseGirl525 replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have always had an interest in the medical field. Like as long as I can remember. I wasn't interested in college right after high school so I went into retail. I hated it but it paid well in...
