    Giving up pre-dental for nursing?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Alamo2015's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With dentistry you would have awesome hours and money. Every dentist I know works 3-4 days a week and they roll in the money. It's something people will always need and I don't think it is an over...

    NurseGirl525 replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    Test taking ABC's life threatening priorities or How to read a book efficiently. -HELP

    NurseGirl525 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    It depends on what else is going on at that moment. Does your school utilize ATI at all? We do and we got books for every subject at the beginning of the program. I'm like you where I try to think...

    Low GPA, Do I still have a shot?

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

    Why would you get a BSN when you want to be a PT? I'm assuming you need to get your Bachelor's in biology or something like that. Classes that pertain to your major. I would speak to your advisor...

    Anyone care to share what made you fall in love with Nursing career?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Fall15NYU's topic in General Students

    I think many of us know that. Nursing is a job just like any other. You are going to have miserable people at any job and I'm not talking about patients. My clinical instructor told our group on...

    Nursing vs. Dentistry vs. Optometry vs. ???

    NurseGirl525 replied to sophia33's topic in General Students

    Why would optometrists be not needed anymore? I've never heard of that? I would think it's a booming business right now especially with Laser surgery. I'm wondering do you want to be an optometrist...

    NurseGirl525 replied to crashingmedic's topic in General Students

    I took College Algebra last summer online. I hated it. Probably because taking it in the summer, it was compressed into 8 weeks instead of 16 and it was a lot of work. I had to take Algebra I and...

    Test taking ABC's life threatening priorities or How to read a book efficiently. -HELP

    NurseGirl525 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    Prioritizing is simply about knowing Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and going from there. You look at physiologic, then safety, and go on up the pyramid I think to self-actualization at the top. If all...

    What do you do when you realize nursing is not for you?

    NurseGirl525 replied to JJ1994's topic in General Students

    There are lots of jobs in nursing still. Maybe look at doing research. You would most likely need your masters but it's an option. I think you could even work at an insurance company. Or what...

    NurseGirl525 replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    My piddly CC's program boasts one of the best NCLEX pass rates in the state. Better than those expensive, prestigious colleges. There's the proof in the pudding for me. NCLEX is the same no matter...

    3.4 gpa-doomed?

    NurseGirl525 replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, my 4.0 which I achieved without cheating begs to differ. Worked my butt off for it. Sorry, if that is not what someone told you, but cheating is not rampant. I know of people who do, but...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

    You won't see me in L&D. I don't want to deal with the drug addicted mothers that are in high number in my area, I couldn't see the stillbirths, and in no, way, shape, or form do I want to try...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Help, can I apply to another program?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Hootowl7's topic in General Students

    Most schools will not take another nursing school's credits while enrolled in the program. And believe me, everyone has stress and a "special" circumstance. Did you communicate with your instructors...
