    NurseGirl525 replied to jessadarling14's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing schools are very strict on what you can and cannot have at clinicals. They want professionalism. They want to teach you professionalism. So I am going to say with 99% certainty that will...

    Silly question about Biology pre-req

    NurseGirl525 replied to w292737's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No. Biology and A&P are not the same thing. If Biology is a prereq, then you will have to take it to apply. But many colleges use Biology as a prereq to A&P. So you will probably need to...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Manny92's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    As a decrepit person of 38, I can say that employers love people in their 30's and 40's. We have work experience and lots of it. We are more mature and are not in our 20's anymore making young...

    NurseGirl525 replied to TW2nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Discouraged pre-nursing student

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

    You don't have to take the Hesi? Most BSN programs do the Hesi for entrance also. What worries me is you don't have a good foundation of how the human body works. That would be why I would retake...

    A little lost

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

    A RN is either a ADN or BSN. They sit for the same NCLEX. If you get your BSN you will still be considered a RN. The only difference is the degree you obtain. You really need to sit down with an...
