  1. Lawsuit over grade changes?

    RunBabyRN replied to Jackson12's topic in General Students

    You could always talk to an attorney, as they would be your best source of legal info, but I agree with JustBeachyNurse, that they are probably tightening their standards so that they are only...

  2. Which path should I take to become an RN?

    RunBabyRN replied to Catherine Stickles's topic in General Students

    Any RN program that does not have prereqs should be scrutinized, IMO. The few that exist with which I am familiar are through tech schools, and none of the credits are transferable, which means that...

  3. Anyone have an update on the ATT turnaround time?

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in California Nursing

    I just called (hold time was only 18 minutes on Friday at 1500!), and the lady said that my letter was issues today, so I should hopefully receive it tomorrow or Monday. She said it takes PV about a...

  4. Answering Nursing test questions

    RunBabyRN replied to Eric02's topic in General Students

    I agree, speak with your instructors ASAP. I've heard good things about Saunders NCLEX books, but haven't used them myself. It helps you to learn how to answer NCLEX-style questions, and I know a few...

  5. Which path should I take to become an RN?

    RunBabyRN replied to Catherine Stickles's topic in General Students

    I agree about doing your research, but most of what you listed is required for all nursing programs. Some programs may require some other class as well, so be sure to fulfill any other requirements....

  6. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RunBabyRN replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    *dying* No pun

  7. Is Pregnancy During Nursing School Doable?

    RunBabyRN replied to 2bNurseHammonds's topic in General Students

    I haven't read through all of the comments, but I feel like those who choose to TTC during nursing school really underestimate both nursing school and pregnancy. You said that being pregnant during...

  8. Best Nclex book for new nursing student??

    RunBabyRN replied to jennaroo's topic in General Students

    Everyone says good things about Saunders. I haven't used it myself (I heard about it way later), but classmates used it to understand concepts while in school and to learn how to answer NCLEX-style...

  9. Need advice. Graduate and apply to ABSN or switch and apply to BSN?

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

    If you still need 44 credits to graduate, it would be a HUGE waste of time to obtain a degree you won't use only to do an accelerated BSN program. It would also be a SLOWER route than doing a...

  10. Really need some great advice

    RunBabyRN replied to Ms.Frank's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In addition to what the other posters have said, you need to check the repeat policies at schools. Many will not allow repeats, or limit how many you may have. Also, as Cs are considered passing...

  11. Anyone have an update on the ATT turnaround time?

    RunBabyRN replied to RunBabyRN's topic in California Nursing

    My check cashed 5/8, and I am STILL waiting. Meanwhile, I have classmates who are now RNs. I am getting BEYOND frustrated. I'm planning to call the BRN tomorrow. One of my classmate's app has been...

  12. Pre license BSN Programs in California

    RunBabyRN replied to jlsretro86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are a zillion second bacc students in traditional BSN programs. Don't let that bother you. Apply to every single program you'd consider attending. Also, if your GPA isn't high, can you take...

  13. What to do after a BSN?

    RunBabyRN replied to JJRN10's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What about doing your CNL? You could get into management and do less (if any) hands-on patient care. The other option is to take classes at a local community college that interest you simply for the...

  14. Don't want a full time job, but wait..,

    RunBabyRN replied to OCRN3's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, sounds like a dream for an extra $15K. *sarcasm* Only you can decide what's right. How are you managing your health benefits? Have you factored that in to your pay raise? How would you feel...

  15. What can I do with an AA in nursing?

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

    Well that's good news at least! :) Good luck with continuing your

  16. Commissioned as an RN but doing something else

    RunBabyRN replied to Raider 3/1's topic in Government, Military

    I haven't seen it first-hand, but I remember as a corpsman they beat it into us that we were a sailor first, corpsman second, so I would imagine it would be similar for officers, if that's what's...

  17. What can I do with an AA in nursing?

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

    This. What does your AA mean, and what have you completed in addition to general ed? I would assume, as VivaLaVespaGirl said, that it means your prereqs are completed, which means you can apply to...

  18. how to get into a registered nursing program?

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

    Depends on the school. I haven't seen any offer extra points or credit for languages, but it helps when you get into clinicals, and the nurses love you for it, and it helps when you're looking for RN...

  19. Cover letter for Nursing school app.

    RunBabyRN replied to Mar933's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does the school to which you're applying have any prompts or anything? I never had to write a cover letter for school (just an essay), but I would take a similar approach to what I wrote in my job...

  20. ADN with BA

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

    Most are 4 semesters, but do a search in your state for accelerated programs. I know the CA BRN has a list of programs, and denotes the ones that offer accelerated

  21. Taking NCLEX in different state?

    RunBabyRN replied to phiaflyy's topic in General Students

    ^^ What JustBeachyNurse said. It happens, especially with the job market as it is. I have a classmate from here in CA that had to move pretty quickly to another state for family reasons, so he's...

  22. Any student / RN athletes here?

    RunBabyRN replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    If it's a priority, you make it work. I did my first marathon in August of last year, and just graduated from my program last month. I took 3 summer classes, too. I have to say that the final...

  23. how to get into a registered nursing program?

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

    If you can, get certified as a medical interpreter. That will help A LOT when you're looking for work. Once you're working as a CNA, I wouldn't spend a ton of time with the volunteering, because you...

  24. Counting the types of questions you got....

    RunBabyRN replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree! It seems like several of my classmates have posted how many SATA questions they had (and ALL have been 20+). Just as I don't plan to do the PVT, I don't plan to make myself crazy ticking...

  25. question about kaplan and general NCLEX-RN

    RunBabyRN replied to blondie1887's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm in the same place you are (about to take QTrainer 5 in a few minutes!), and I'm reading the content review guide cover to cover and making note cards of some of it as I go. I'm about 2/3 through...
