    CNA before nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to amandaamanda's topic in General Nursing

    No, I do not think it should be required. You learn what you need in the few weeks anyway. My nursing fundamentals class is 4 weeks. We then hop right into med/surg I for the rest of the semester....

    Can a student get into another nursing school after not succeeding in another?

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

    NurseGirl525 replied to Bjarte's topic in General Students

    I'm thinking that the professor doesn't quite understand what you are asking. I would either just buy it and wear it, because I doubt anyone would notice or speak to the dean. That is

    Nutrition Prerequisite Course

    NurseGirl525 replied to swimmingfever00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm interested as to why you think the University of Phoenix's class would transfer? What I would do is call the cc and ask them. They will know if the credits transfer or not better than another...

    Considering LPN.

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

    I would think the more rural hospitals in your area would hire an ADN. The bigger cities won't but central Ohio is full of rural

    NurseGirl525 replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    U.S. Student, going to study in Canada

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

    But will your US financial aid go to Canada? Not sure how that would work. I guess I'm not understanding why you would want to train in Canada if you plan on working in the US. Just get your degree...

    Should I still apply to Sacramento States Nursing program?

    NurseGirl525 replied to calvaaan_21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your Teas score is not bad. What other things can you do to increase your points? I see you are retaking a class which is a good idea, just wondering what other areas are you missing points

    Almost Done - Except Sick

    NurseGirl525 replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    I understand your frustration, but this is a legal issue. You have to have so many clinical hours to sit for the NCLEX and to meet state requirements for graduation. Plus, if groups are full you...

    NurseGirl525 replied to beatrizcastro's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I'm starting the program in Anderson on Tuesday. My Teas was a 78, which I think is a pretty good score. I know of some in their 80's but most were in the 70's. We got our letters on time but I know...

    What kind of accreditation does a school need?

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

    No. National accreditation is just something that the nursing board gives to certain schools saying that they approve them. Regional accreditation is actually better and is what allows the credits...

    Are they doing away with the ASN programs?

    NurseGirl525 replied to ac9390's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are tons of threads on this. No, ASN programs are not going away. And a NP can still get their masters. Your friend is wrong. Yes, there is talk of requiring BSNs as entry level in hospitals...

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

    Is there more to this? Because I can't imagine a CPR instructor dyeing this after only 2 attempts at rescue breathing. Did you get certified? Were there other issues? Was it maybe that you were...
