    frequentFLyER posted a topic in General Students

  2. Is RN-MSN recognized for Magnet hospitals for floor nursing?

    frequentFLyER replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Students

  3. Is RN-MSN recognized for Magnet hospitals for floor nursing?

    frequentFLyER replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Students

    I looked that up at the site you mentioned and that's exactly what I found! Couldn't find anything on staff nurses, only on managers and CNO. That's great to know! So what is the 80% BSN...

  8. ADN-BSN??

    frequentFLyER replied to vrios's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. ADN-BSN??

    frequentFLyER replied to vrios's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you IN the ADN program now? If you're going from ADN to BSN, most schools call it RN-BSN and want an RN license, certain GPA, possible certain amount of work as an RN, certain pre-reqs, etc. So to...

  10. Previous Bachelors Degree w/ low GPA 2.98, What to do! Help :(

    frequentFLyER replied to kcrom18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in almost the EXACT situation. I'm talking dead-on 2.98 in my Bachelor's and decided I didn't like what I chose a bit too late. I'll spare you my story but I have been trying to get into nursing...

  11. How did you decide your specialty?

    frequentFLyER posted a topic in General Students

    How did you finally choose your specialty and when (during school/semester, after graduating, years into work)? Do you ever get worried/discouraged there wont be many jobs if you chose popular areas...

  12. How did you decide your specialty?

    frequentFLyER replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Students

    That is SO cool! I had heard of this before but didn't have a good idea what this specialty did. I started with phlebotomy and vein access really is almost like a sixth sense if you're good. Happy...

  13. How did you decide your specialty?

    frequentFLyER replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Students

    I agree with you. It IS such a nice thing that in nursing you aren't forced to pick a specialty and stay. Like you mentioned, I was concerned as far as getting too deep into a niche and not being able...

  17. Whats your NICU experience?

    frequentFLyER replied to jackiei3's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Amen. Even if little hineys are easier to deal with than big hineys for some people, there was a better way to word that. It hurts me that someone going into nursing would say that.

  18. How can I prepare for NICU while in nursing school?

    frequentFLyER replied to frequentFLyER's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks! I hope so. There actually is an opening now in a huge hospital and they take you with a semester of clinical rotation done but mine ends Dec 9th so I was thinking of going ahead and applying...
