    sweetbriar replied to swhirst's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome! I just friended you! I'm Ashley Carroll

  2. HELP! failed pre-reqs

    sweetbriar replied to stacylethani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, if you're unable to retake your classes to change your grades at that school then retake them at another school, like a community

  3. My final steps - nervous as hell

    sweetbriar posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is going to be long, but I need to put it out there...get it out of my head. Any words of encouragement or realism are greatly appreciated. And thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this...

  4. My final steps - nervous as hell

    sweetbriar replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks so much for your encouraging words!! Yes, it's the people that tell me that I'm going to "hate" nursing either because it's hard work or because I'm an introvert that really bug me. I honestly...

  5. Recent BA graduate, ADN->RN->BSN, or straight to BSN?

    sweetbriar replied to swhirst's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It warms my heart to see another SBC Vixen on here!!! #SaveSweetBriar! I ended up working at SBC for 4 years (still there) and will be working there up until June 30th. I'm going to finish up my last...

  6. Recent BA graduate, ADN->RN->BSN, or straight to BSN?

    sweetbriar replied to swhirst's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ahhh! I just saw this! A year later.... But, yes!!! I did graduate from

  7. My final steps - nervous as hell

    sweetbriar replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post and then reply :) I'm hoping that people in my life will also be more supportive once they see how dedicated I am. My friends, on the other hand,...

  8. Should I take Medical Terminology for nursing school?

    sweetbriar replied to MntEMStoBSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MT is a required pre-req for the program I'm looking at, so I took it last Fall. I thought it was a super fun, super easy class and it gets your feet wet. It won't hurt anything to take it -- what's...

  9. ADN vs. BSN

    sweetbriar replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Again, you're making assumptions. Yes. Leadership is earned. Higher degrees teach you new information and actual experience teaches you how to use information. A person with little to no experience,...

  10. ADN vs. BSN

    sweetbriar replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    But, dear, I'm not. You're the one who came gallivanting in here arguing about how lower degrees shouldn't be in charge and that, somehow, a BSN magically affords someone with the wherewithal to...

  11. ADN vs. BSN

    sweetbriar replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My god. Your way of "making me see logic" is by insulting my intelligence and assuming "facts" about me that you have no idea to be true? Must be that fiiiiiine higher education you have, sweetheart,...

  12. ADN vs. BSN

    sweetbriar replied to studentnursemon86's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Pfft. Just because someone has a higher degree than others does NOT mean that they are more competent than those with lower degrees. The person in charge, regardless of their degree, was put in charge...

  13. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    sweetbriar replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think that's awesome. It's less about people *not* understanding it and more about people being *unwilling* to understand

  14. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

    sweetbriar posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dear all, I'm in a bit of a bind, emotionally and financially, and need advice from older individuals who are either in my same boat or have already been where I am. I'm nearly finished with the...

  15. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

    sweetbriar replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I forgot to mention that the ADN program around here is about $20k or less, total, and the ABSN is about $40k

  16. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    sweetbriar replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Pagan here. I've come into contact with quite a few nurses and EMTs who are pagan

  17. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

    sweetbriar replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow. I could not have expected more thoughtful replies than what you all have written. Thank you all so much! This has given me much to think about. I cut out both Internet and cable about 6 months...

  18. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

    sweetbriar replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've thought about doing CNA work while in nursing school, but the CNA course around here is 6 weeks long, every day, and costs over a thousand dollars to complete. Not to mention the fact that I'm...

  19. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

    sweetbriar replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you both for your wonderful suggestions and reassurance! Since I already have a bachelor's degree, there are very few, if any, scholarships available to me. In cases like mine, the government is...

  20. Recent BA graduate, ADN->RN->BSN, or straight to BSN?

    sweetbriar replied to swhirst's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought I'd chime in on this since I'm from Virginia -- Lynchburg College has an accelerated BSN program and has a very good reputation for their nursing program. Centra Health (also located in...
