  1. Other SSU pre-licensure BSN applicants?

    RunBabyRN replied to ThirdGen's topic in Illinois Nursing

    The last 60 units only applies if you're a second bacc student (which it appears you are). Did you attend an info session? I think they're done for this cycle right now, but you can e-mail the...

  2. high schooler --advice to become RN!

    RunBabyRN replied to kayteeyuu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only you can determine whether or not nursing is right for you. Are you working as a CNA? Have you spent any time in NICU or other environments with

  3. Navy Nursing

    RunBabyRN replied to jaydeecruz's topic in Government, Military

    1- If you want to commission (not enlist) as a Navy nurse, you will first need to complete your BSN (bachelor's in nursing). You are MUCH better off going in this way than by enlisting, hoping to get...

  4. Help me choose a nursing path [CA]

    RunBabyRN replied to b0ss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every nursing program in CA is impacted, community colleges, CSUs and private universities alike. I would hold off on getting a different bachelor's, because it will cut you off from financial aid...

  5. Should I wait to apply?

    RunBabyRN replied to nandosport's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll have to contact the program. Some schools are more strict about volunteer hours. I didn't have any, but I had other things working for me, and my school isn't fanatical about volunteer

  6. Needing guidiance for nursing education

    RunBabyRN replied to hyt5018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree with Esme. You might be better off applying to ADN programs, as most in CA run on a lottery system, so as long as you qualify, you're in the pot with everyone else. Apply to as many...

  7. First year nurse student--how do i study?

    RunBabyRN replied to NENANUNEZRN's topic in General Students

    There are only a couple of people I can study with in my group as well. Most are younger than I am, and, like you said, are more focused on gossip than on material. There's kind of a division...

  8. Adviser threw me for a loop- ADN vs 2nd bachelor's

    RunBabyRN replied to ShelbyaStar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why are you wasting your money on doing prereqs at a university? Even if you were to do a university nursing program, your prereqs will transfer. A lot of people do either an ADN or BSN program after...

  9. MSN online

    RunBabyRN replied to collorrn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    When posting about a specific nursing program, please post in the appropriate state forum where the program is

  10. First year nurse student--how do i study?

    RunBabyRN replied to NENANUNEZRN's topic in General Students

    I think EVERY nursing student feels this way. The volume of reading is overwhelming, there are a lot of demands on us, it's hard! There's no way to retain everything. DON'T worry about NCLEX...

  11. 20 yrs out of school....Teas

    RunBabyRN replied to PlumFairy's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I used the TEAS V study manual, and I found it extremely helpful. I read through the entire book cover to cover, marking pages as I went for what I needed to review, then focused the rest of my time...

  12. HELP MEEEE !

    RunBabyRN replied to Kay199's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    How are you studying for the exam? What resources do you have? What is the repeat policy for the schools to which you're

  13. TEAS TEST!!

    RunBabyRN replied to Nurse2B408's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I found it extremely helpful. What worked for me was reading the book cover to cover, and marking the pages I needed to review with little sticky tabs. I then went back and focused my attention only...

  14. suggestion for TEAS

    RunBabyRN replied to scotthyco28's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Navy vet. Not sure what that has to do with the conversation. The TEAS is the same in every state. You'll notice the scores are compared nationally, not just by state. Also, repeat policies here in...

  15. I want to know the truth.

    RunBabyRN replied to knightyknight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy and physiology usually transfer. Most schools recognize that some schools do it one way and some do it the other. You should be able to find out the acceptance rate from the school's website,...

  16. Community College or University?

    RunBabyRN replied to SeattleNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Around here, the community college has a better reputation for our prereqs (certainly a better anatomy lab!). I took everything at the community college then transferred for my BSN program. I don't...

  17. Fat nurses

    RunBabyRN replied to questions1025's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think weight impacts how you are as a nurse. That said, being physically fit DOES help you when you need to be able to lift and move patients, and in squeezing into a small patient room...

  18. When attending a traditional BSN program, are students told they're better than ADNs?

    RunBabyRN replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We've never been told that we were better than ADN-prepared nurses. We have a higher degree, and have learned more about theory, research, leadership and public health. It doesn't define me as a...

  19. Is working as a CNA a good idea?

    RunBabyRN replied to Dre'Laynna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Working as a CNA would be great experience, and you can make some great connections that will help you when it comes time for looking for a position as an RN. It'll help you to see more of what RNs...

  20. Got my license, no interviews yet :(

    RunBabyRN replied to srm1136's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It takes time. You may need to cast a wider net. Also, what connections have you made along the way? That's the BIGGEST help right there. Put it out there that you're searching- you never know who...

  21. Professional (Gender) Collaboration

    RunBabyRN replied to Watermaster's topic in Men in Nursing

    I really don't think it's about gender, but more about personality and culture. I've worked in both male- and female-dominated work environments, and they both come with their ups and downs. One...

  22. Different color scrub Top and Pants, does that look ok for Male nurses?

    RunBabyRN replied to RN_na_pogi_pa's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't see mixing it up as a problem. I've seen plenty of nurses, including males, doing this. That includes prints as

  23. Endometriosis

    RunBabyRN replied to snantz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It totally depends on the situation. I have endometriosis, and conceived my son on the first try. Yes, severity and spread are factors. No one here can say what one's (or, I assume, YOUR) chances...

  24. Would you commute an hour to a job you wanted?

    RunBabyRN replied to nursebythesea's topic in General Nursing

    I would totally do it if it was for a great job. Utilize that time for books on tape, catching up on phone calls if you have Bluetooth,

  25. I need some advice

    RunBabyRN replied to mphilomena's topic in General Nursing

    I agree- I think what you're feeling is quite normal. As far as families asking your preceptor the same things they're asking you, think about how you'd be if it was YOUR family member being care for-...
