    Kuriin replied to Aspiringnurse13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    advice

    Kuriin replied to gertlib's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Volunteer in clinics and see if that's actually what you want to do all day, every day. Just note, it's a CLINIC so working in a hospital will be much different. Suggest you also take your...

    PA or Direct entry MSN-RN to NP?

    Kuriin replied to ryonel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just do a Masters Entry Program if you're really interested in being a NP. No sense in doing a BSN then doing an additional 2-3 years for your masters. From what I've *heard* from other NPs and PAs,...

    Kuriin replied to cas0043's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go through an accelerated version that way you don't have to spend an additional 3+ years in doing another bachelors. That, or doing a Direct-Entry program for your

    Dropped out of ADN program to go into ABSN program

    ABSN is accelerated. It's completely different than an associates. Chances are though, you should be fine with the ABSN since a lot of it will be a

    Need help deciding what type of nursing to do?

    Kuriin replied to stephaniee923's topic in General Students

    Hard to say. When you're in school, you go through several rotations similar to medical school to help you decide what specialty you want. You say you want to work with babies right now, but just wait...

    Dropped out of ADN program to go into ABSN program

    Kuriin replied to kardav's topic in General Students

    You will learn more theory and it will be hyper accelerated compared to the ADN program. I would PERSONALLY recommend going for your BSN over your associates because that will lead to more...

    How hard is the BLS class (CPR) ?

    Kuriin replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in General Students

    I think generally most people pass the class. Take notes during the class because you do have an exam at the end. Also, I would recommend you take it early enough in the event that if you do fail, you...

    Pharmacology

    Kuriin replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

    Would recommend you enjoy your time off before school starts as you will wish you had. You will get enough pharmacology in school and knowing which ones to learn will be pretty difficult until you...

    Assistance in Finding Nursing Shoes

    Kuriin replied to tdi213's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I tried on a pair of Dansko's -- the all white ones. Makes me a little uncomfortable by how girly they look (the clog version). Though, I see pretty much every single nurse wear them. I'm not sure I...

    Has Anyone Taken Statistics

    Kuriin replied to Mia83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Statistics is only easy if you have a professor that knows how to teach it. That or if you know how to teach yourself math. If you have a bad teacher, it's an easy class to

    Did Anyone NOT Study for the NCLEX and Do Well?

    Kuriin replied to lifelearningrn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you think you can do the NCLEX without studying, then go for it. But, the question is, why would you go into a national boards exam without studying for

    is this for me?

    Kuriin replied to wrmotroni's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Clinicals can range from once a week to four times a week with theory in the middle. You can decide what clinical hours you want (well, depending on the school), but generally it's from 7-3 or 6:30-5....

    Offering money to switch clinical sites? Ethical?

    Kuriin replied to chewychipsahoy's topic in General Students

    Excuse me, but how is it unethical switching clinicals for money? Not to mention, why would you even complain? Do you plan on complaining throughout your entire life? Good luck

    Where do you get your books?!

    Amazon. Never go to bookstores because they will rip you off. If you have Amazon Prime, then it will be even cheaper. If that's not feasible, check out

    Kuriin replied to futuresctRN's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    You can't study for the HESI in a sense as you would a normal exam. You have to take the Evolve case studies and scour the internet for more HESI-styled questions and do those, while reading the...

    Dosage calculations and doc's written orders

    I think if it's hospital policy to not use a specific abbreviation or system (such as Apothecary) and a provider still uses it, the best idea is to call the provider or pharmacist for

    Applying to nursing program after grad school dismissal- advice needed!

    Kuriin replied to Robin87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would you go for your ADN and not a BSN? Don't understand that. They will probably ask you WHY you decided to switch career moves and all you have to say is that you found that you weren't...
