  1. Bellevue College 2015-2017 Nursing Hopefuls

    jaycam replied to EMSLady's topic in School, College Programs

    We have clinicals, 5 weeks, it's more in later quarters. You're expected to know the NAC part before you get in but you will be tested on it. I think that's the same in most schools in this area...

    jaycam replied to EMSLady's topic in School, College Programs

    I work part time. I wouldn't recommend working full time. If you can get Healthcare experience working as an NAR or NAC, it helps. Personally, I'd go crazy if I didn't work, it is intense and...

    jaycam replied to scmceach's topic in General Students

    NSA seems like a great opportunity to me. My school used to have one that was super active, this seems to be a rebuilding year. Either way, there's a lot to learn from it. Effective communication,...

    jaycam replied to mnw9412's topic in General Students

    I scribble all over my tests. I don't just mark the ones I know are wrong, but scribble a note as to why. I underline important phrase to help me focus details. If a question is about ranges, I write...

  7. What is best private or state university for nursing?

    jaycam replied to Shrestha87's topic in General Students

    Another thing I would consider in your cost analysis is how much you could potentially make in that extra year. I know that personally, by choosing to not go to private university as well as taking...

    jaycam replied to childcare1's topic in School

  11. Online nursing program stigma?

    jaycam replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    This seems especially true in nursing that online programs fit into the chaos that makes finding a regular, school friendly schedule harder. I know several nurses who did online degrees or are in...

  13. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    jaycam replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    The TL:DR version of my wall of text: Assuming that someone has less education or an easier time of things because they choose to do something differently is a good way to step on toes. You never know...

  14. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    jaycam replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    Harder is relative compared to a person's personal experiences. What's hard for one person may not be hard for another. One program may be harder that another and it may have little to do with if it's...

  15. Can a LPN make minimum payments of $50 if your 39,000 in debt?

    jaycam replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    While it may seem tough, you can defer while you're off for the semester and once you're back in school it goes back to being a normal student loan situation. That said, especially with the amount of...
