    RN-BSN programs-vent

    NurseGirl525 replied to mmc51264's topic in General Students

    Does this instructor understand that ADN and BSN sit for the same NCLEX-RN test? I think that both have the same critical thinking

    Anatomy Classes

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

    It depends. My school offers a ton of 101 classes, fewer 102 classes, and only a couple of 201 classes. Reason being is that so many drop out after getting a taste of 101 not many make it to the...

    I need help.. I feel like I'm never going to get into a nursing school!

    NurseGirl525 replied to mmcdon32's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think there may be something else going on here. What else was required at these schools besides scores? Was there an interview? Did you have to write an essay? Are volunteer hours required?...

    Received my 3rd rejection today.

    NurseGirl525 replied to iono101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm wondering why you didn't talk to an advisor before? Surely they could have told you that you were basically wasting your money taking these upper level science classes that aren't a requirement...

    Venting (can the nursing field be fun?)

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

    In my area they are desperate for CNAs. There are CNA jobs everywhere. But nursing is not even close to what a CNA does when you get down to it. So you really have to ask yourself what it is you...

    Feeling like I'm in a rut with school and I really need some advice...

    NurseGirl525 replied to JBrown8592's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all it depends how competitive your school is. Mine is extremely competitive and you need excellent grades to get in. They go off of 4 classes and your TEAS score. It is a points system....

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

    Have you sat down and tried to evaluate what your issue is as far as passing these classes? Are you not studying or are you not grasping the basic concepts? These are the basic classes that you need...

    Adult Nursing Students: How do you pay your bills while in school?

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

    I am very fortunate that my ex made enough money while we were married that I can live with without having to work. I call it payment for putting up with his butt for 15 years. He made me quit...

    NurseGirl525 replied to jg24's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am going to throw this out there, how did you know they were not in pain? Just because they were sleeping does not mean they were not in pain. I have watched many family members die a horrible...

    Need some advice please!!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to mm09026's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do they not combine your lab and lecture grade? Our lab grade is worth 40% of our total grade. We have 4 practicums but in micro I only have 2 lab practicums but again is combined with our lecture...

    CNA job interview at hospital, one problem though

    NurseGirl525 replied to MikeDee1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go. You never know what might happen. I would explain up front that you didn't see the whole email and apologize but what's wrong with going? She may really like you and hire you and get...

    How long were your pre-reqs?

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

    My program only has a few prereqs. All of the rest are coreqs which can be done before or during the nursing program. I will have all of my prereqs and coreqs done in 3 semesters before I enter the...

    ADN or BSN Please give me your opinon!! (Mom with a 1 year old)

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

    I agree with the others that have said to check the job market in your area. I live in an area where most RNs that are hired are ADNs. Most people with BSNs here are in management. I may someday...

    Unhappy camper looking for some advice from nurses

    NurseGirl525 replied to skigirl8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, I am going to offer a differing opinion here. While much of what is being said is true, you have to be happy in life. Sure, I could have gone back to a retail position making quite a bit of...

    Why Do You Want To Be A Nurse?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I want to be a nurse because I am fascinated by the science aspect of it. I love the medical field and learning about it. I have been researching stuff all my life. That's why I am going into

    NurseGirl525 replied to abiggie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not understanding. You had a car accident and you want to change careers from hair stylist to a nurse. So is that because you are injured and you think nursing will be easier or you had an...

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

    My question is then, Why do you want to become a nurse? I'm not being sarcastic at all, but it's something you need to ask yourself. Nursing is dealing with needles and starting IVs and all that fun...

    Prayer Before Surgery

    NurseGirl525 replied to orscrubcutie1's topic in Operating Room

    This would make me highly uncomfortable. My religion is my business and however I feel about God should not pertain to how I work or my work ethic. I would feel pressured to participate because I...

    Being bullied at school (I thought we were all adults here!)

    NurseGirl525 replied to granolatrees's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I guess my opinion on it is that you are not there to make friends or to get approval from anyone. You are there to get your education, do the best you possibly can, and get your degree. I barely...

    What is the average nurse's opinion on medical assistants

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

    I can't believe you are being treated so poorly in one of your first work experiences. Some people get so hung up on titles. That is crazy. Just keep working hard. You sound like a hard working...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Lisamarie22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would see if your school offers free tutoring especially in the math. My school has a whole dept. devoted to math tutoring and writing tutoring. I think in math sometimes it takes the right...

    Will Federal Student Loans/Grants cover my tuition at Chamberlain College?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Dagogirl68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no idea what the tuition is at Chamberlain. But I think it is a for profit college so I'm thinking probably not. If it does, it's only because they tailor their tuition to meet what people...
