    YOU need to know what accreditation really means!

    NurseGirl525 replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Students

    This is great because a lot of people don't understand this and they end up paying for an education that is worth pretty much nothing. And many of these schools have great "salesman" to get you in...

    NurseGirl525 replied to acmj's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I am taking the Teas which I am assuming is like the Hesi and there is physiology on it. I would definitely brush up on

    What do you think ?

    NurseGirl525 replied to MurseGabe2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's sacrifice, not sacrafice. That's the only thing I saw. Also, I don't think you have to tell them you are going to devote your whole life to the program. It's all about balance. As long as you...

    If we had a conservative nurses forum

    NurseGirl525 replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I guess one would say I am conservative. No too conservative, just enough. I would like to say though I never ask what other people's political affiliations are either at school or in the workplace....

    How do I know Nursing is for me

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

    You have to decide what YOU want to do and what will make YOU happy in life. There are lots of people out there that picked a career because they thought they may have liked it but it turned out they...

    What science classes should I take together if working full-time?

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

    I agree with the poster who said you need to check and see what is a prereq for what. At my school you cannot take micro until you have completed A&P I and you need A&P I before II. I had...

    NurseGirl525 replied to joshmiller2010's topic in General Students

    I am one of those "older" students going back since I am getting a divorce I have to provide for me and my son. I have to respectfully disagree with you. I find that the younger, just out of high...

    Two questions...one may be stupid :)

    NurseGirl525 replied to Laura in Canada's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would like to sit down with a hospital administrator and ask them what they feel is the difference between an ADN and BSN. I would really like to know if someone has sat down and looked at the...

    Do you think your work place should support healthy eating?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    One of our hospitals out here has what is called room service. You get a menu and call in the food when you want it. And let me tell you it is delish. The absolute best hospital food I had ever...

    Nursing Jobs

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

    Indianapolis is not a saturated market right now so it depends on where you want to live once you graduate. That seems like an awful lot of money though to spend. Is it because you would have to pay...

    Do you think your work place should support healthy eating?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    IU hospital in Indy stopped putting regular soda in the vending machines. When I go down there for my appt. with my neurologist it ticks me off. Hospitals should offer healthy choices but I am an...

    ADN's being pushed out

    NurseGirl525 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Let me clarify something. I didn't mean that I think that older nurses call out sick more. Sorry if that is how I came across. I mean that how is how the HR dept. sees it. Hope that makes

    ADN's being pushed out

    NurseGirl525 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There are several reasons why these nurses are being pushed out. One could be pay level. Making room for cheaper, new grad, nurses. I hate that this happens but it does. And it happens in every,...

    Applying with Eligibility Issues (criminal history)

    NurseGirl525 replied to BCSNurse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    That's great. I don't think a misdemeanor that occurred when you were 17 would have been an issue anyway. I'm surprised that since you were a minor it wasn't sealed. I think the main things the...

    book to keep: physio or micro?

    NurseGirl525 replied to kdmf12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I rented my micro and kept my A&P. Not to loan anyone else, just for my own reference when I am in nursing

    TCN scam

    NurseGirl525 replied to jane1959's topic in LPN to RN

    It's doesn't magically go away after 7 years. They transfer it to a new collection agency and they can come after you for their 7 years. It can go on and on and with $15,000 in debt someone is going...

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

    You need to research the area where you are in. What do the hospice's hire? I am doing an ADN program right now. I am getting a divorce and will have enough money to get me through the next few...

    NurseGirl525 replied to bkburgos1326's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LPNs make RNs seem more impressive?

    NurseGirl525 replied to RN-HSA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think this is something that basically goes on in nursing circles. The general public as whole doesn't really know the difference between a LPN, RN, and BSN. I didn't until I started researching...

    Harrison College

    NurseGirl525 replied to msitton's topic in Indiana Nursing

    You do not have to have A's in all the prereqs. That is a common misconception that goes floating. Some of the advisors will even say it. Not the nursing advisors but the regular ones. If you get...

    Advice wanted: should I continue with nursing at this point?

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

    It is just a job. But as with all jobs, it has to be one you like doing, or you are going to hate it for the rest of your life. I did jobs I absolutely hated. Dreaded to go to work everyday and...
