I consider it very unprofessional. The heart behind nursing is not to gain the attention of others, but rather give attention to those in need.

Well, if you carry a good GPA come to San Antonio - that's where I am. They have some very good nursing programs. There are 5 nursing schools that I know of. There are two BSN programs 1) University of Texas Health & Science Center and 2) Univ...

Yep........same here. Last semester there were over 800 applicants to the nursing program, but they only take the top 100 [GPA], no waiting lists. The cutoff for last semester was a 3.51...wow. I'm hoping to apply in February. So far I'm pulling ...

I'm in a similar boat, 36 yrs old leaving the engineering field [not a money driven move )], but I do not think age will be factor when I graduate from nursing school. I would actually think the healthcare industry would prefer mature individuals wh...

What is the big draw for psych nursing? How is it different? I liked studying psychology, but I don't think that has much to do with psych nursing, does it?

Thanks John

What is L&D?

I'm new to this site and nursing. Could someone please guide me to where I can learn the abbreviated terms that are often used on this site like PEDS, LTC, etc.

I'm going to be taking my A&P I class in the fall and I was just wondering what study aids or guides you found most helpful in assisting you to learn the material.

Thanks :)

I am new to nursing, and I'm seeking to research as much as I possibly can about this career. I am currently working in the engineering field (have been for 15 years), making pretty good money, yet finding my career rather unfulfilling. I started o...

Hello :) I am currently trying to determine if nursing is for me. I started out five years ago chipping away at my core studies for either a BA or BS. As time has progressed I have narrowed my choices down to communications or nursing. I want to...

My transition is tri-fold. 1) I am a father and husband of six, and the needs of my children and family are increasing. I am as far as my education will take in my field (mechanical engineering). I do engineering work, however, I am not a degreed ...

Nurseguy: I don't think the BSN route would benefit you much at all. You already have a Bachelor's Degree, and in business management at that, so I would see no need of pursing another bachelor's. You have the management skills, now you just need t...

Thank you Mike. Just what I was looking for :) As far as physical condition, I'm in pretty good shape. I try to workout on a regular basis. Lifting will not be an issue - I lift weight for fun. I believe the emotional aspect will be my most diff...

As far as the time factor is concerned. I have taken so much of my core for a Bachelor's that the difference between ADN classes and BSN is not much, mainly the convenience differs. At this point, there are about 3-4 more classes I need to take in ...

Thank you Tweety. I live near one of the university health and science center's, that offer a BSN without any nursing background. They do not have a waiting list, but rather take applicants every semester and only admit 100. Last semester there we...
