  1. Difference between ASN Vs. BSN?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to lostbruin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am starting an ADN program in the fall. I have a BS, but, like you, a GPA less than 3.0. Here's the scoop (as I understand it): ADN/ASN. This is an associates degree in nursing. You can go to your...

  2. CNA training/vaccines...ADVICE:)

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to AnnaRuthBeckel's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just wanted to commend OP for asking questions, being proactive and thinking outside the box on how to achieve her goal of becoming a nurse. Good luck with your vaccinations, CNA class, getting a...

  3. Courses/Program to take Advantage of Tuition Reimbursement from Workplace

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to grad.rye.2012's topic in Nursing Career

    Why not start on msn

  4. Mane with MetroState

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to PTKChic's topic in General Nursing

    I went to look at the MetroState curriculum plan. It's 46 credits. Mankato is only 30. So, even though MetroState is cheaper per credit, when everything is included, it could actually be the same or...

  5. Mane with MetroState

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to PTKChic's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it's super cheap. I was finally admitted on July 5. So, at least that part is cleared up. I guess I'll wait to see how much of the program can be done online. Flexibility may trump cheap (to...

  6. Fall 2015 ARCC

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to NurseP00kie's topic in General Nursing

    Sign up for the TEAS early! When I tried to sign up, no spots were left for the earlier dates, so I was unable to take it

  7. Anyone have an MSN with no BSN? Problems with this?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to kerussll's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I haven't even started nursing school yet, but I googled and found: http://www.nursecredentialing.org/DEO-FAQ#B1 I'd think that if the CNO, nurse leaders and nurse managers are allowed to have a...

  8. What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Kimynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just to add some balance....well under 3.0, but my school only looks at the prerequisites. I have 4.0 in the

  9. Is cheating a double standard?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to 28studentsfailed's topic in General Students

    Whoever told you life is fair

  10. Mane with MetroState

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to PTKChic's topic in General Nursing

    I'm completely frustrated with MetroState. I've been admitted to NHCC, but MetroState has not accepted me yet. They ask for this or that for admission, but then change their minds. They don't call me...

  11. Leaving the JD behind for a RN --> NP?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to CrimJ2BRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I am a lawyer. I've been one for about 15 years. If you do not have a burning desire to be a lawyer, I highly recommend you do something else. The job market for new lawyers is probably worse than the...

  12. Lost and confused. Would appreciate any advice!

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to e1234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated with a 2.67. I had 3 D's and 3 A's -- the rest were B's andC's. Fast forward 20 years (you are lucky you figured it out much sooner than I did). Obviously, anything I had taken was too...

  13. Mileage question--is this the norm??

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in Home Health

    http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs22.pdf I don't know what's normal, but that just doesn't seem

  14. Really horrible working conditions with NO support

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to squatsandPB's topic in General Nursing

    Can you go talk to your manager? I have been in a similar situation, where I have not received a response to an email. I took it personally, as if he was ignoring me and my issue but, when I spoke to...

  15. MLT VS RN

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Mikkie13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MLT is medical lab

  16. Reputations of Various Programs

    Peanut&Buttercup posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone provide any insight on what employers think about the various Twin Cities nursing programs? I'm entering NHCC this fall, so I am particularly interested in that one, but I'd like to hear...

  17. Plan B for if you Fail/Get Kicked out of Nursing School? I may need help with this.

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Athariel's topic in General Students

    What about becoming a CRNA? It sounds like you might be more suited to something more strictly STEM. Engineering? A biomedical

  18. Teas score

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to amanda2323's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If you search the Minnesota page under United States Nursing, you'll find threads about NHCC. Admissions are ranked by TEAS/10 + GPA. So, if you have 77.2 TEAS and a 4.0 GPA, you have 7.7 + 4.0, or...

  19. Career Changers

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Eeveetee's topic in Nursing Career

    Trust me, you don't want to wake up every day 10/20 years from now thinking "I only have to make it another 35/25 years 'til retirement." I start an ADN program in the fall, at age

  20. Should I go to RN BSN Traditional Nursing school or Medical Laboratory Scientist prog

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to tomasala's topic in Nursing Career

    What do you want? What happened to you was horrible, but you have to get past it. No matter what field you enter, you will find people who don't treat others as well as they probably could or

  21. Worked 24 hours/3 consecutive 8hr shifts

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to marcjuico's topic in General Nursing

    Under federal law, I think no limit exists on the number of hours you can be required to work in a day. Some states have enacted some protections. Where do you

  22. North Hennepin Community College program?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to virgo7598's topic in General Nursing

    I purchased one set via Amazon just last night for maybe $43 for top and bottom. I hope someone knows of someplace cheaper! I am guessing that I'll need more than one

  23. New Grad RN program $15/hr

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to WannaBNursey's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It's not forever. My take on first jobs after school is that it is like the TEAS, NLCEX and every other hoop you have to jump through. The first job is the hardest to get, so even if the pay sucks,...

  24. Career Change ASN or BSN

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to sheridans2u's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I also have a BS and a graduate degree and am making the switch too. I start my ADN program in the fall; its three semesters, with the option of going on for the BSN. I was in a different position...
