  1. Should I listen to the results or should I follow my heart?

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

    There are a ton of career possibilities in health care; nursing is just one of them. With your grades, it is extremely unlikely you would be admitted to a nursing program. Why not look at other, less...

  2. How should I become an RN?

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

    In my state, employers may be required to reimburse you for the CNA course. Basically, I think the first place you work for for 90 days (if within a year of taking the course), must pay. You might...

  3. Master of Arts in Nursing program

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to 10200Astro's topic in General Nursing

    How'd it go? I'd think it'd be equivalent (thru extrapolation), but you might want to contact potential employers about it. As for a BAN vs. BSN, it appears to be equivalent. i found this at Magnet...

  4. Where can I take organic chem and nutrition online over the summer?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to KS01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oregon State and UC Berkeley extension also have online organic chemistry courses. I'd check your local community college to see if it had a class. Organic chemistry is one of the few courses I would...

  5. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    People are overweight for reasons over than sloth and overeating. One's BMI is just one measure of health, but it certainly is a very obvious one to others. For those who suffer from eating disorders...

  6. Just received a A D+ in psychology

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

    Surf these boards. Not only have plenty of fantastic nurses "failed" (you didn't fail) a prerequisite, they failed a nursing course or got kicked out of nursing school. It can be

  7. GPA less than 3.0?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to pdc8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should talk to your school. Some places require that classes be taken within a certain time frame. Some prefer or even require you take classes at that school. Some won't let you repeat...

  8. Master of Arts in Nursing program

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to 10200Astro's topic in General Nursing

    So you are not currently a nurse? I don't think this program is appropriate for you, but let us know what you find out. Augsburg's website states: Selection of candidates will be made on the basis...

  9. Anesthesiology Assistant

    Peanut&Buttercup posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    While I'm sure that I'll get some bias view points on this board, but I recently came across the anesthesiology assistant program. I had not heard of this type of program before. It appears to be...

  10. From ADN to CRNA

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to JCarhuas's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am starting my ADN program this fall, with an ultimate goal of CRNA (maybe....). Several of the programs in the area where I live allow a bachelors degree in something other than nursing, as long...

  11. In my late 40's, is it worth it to go back to school to become an RN?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to 4everpeace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be 43 when I start my ADN program and I'll finish at 44. I'll be 44 in a year and a half either way. If you do a cost benefit analysis, the cost of a community college for a RN is going to be...

  12. When and where to take the TEAS!

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

    I don't know where you are, but I can tell you that the ATI site lets you search for test locations by city. For example, there is a test in Brainerd on 5/23. I suggest searching for locations near...

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

    Many years ago, I had a classmate with a similar background to you. He was deaf, but got a cochlear implant at some point. His speech was difficult for many to understand, but I usually did not have...

  16. Entry level Master in Nursing

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to khangl1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    St. Kate is starting a program this year as well.

  17. Attorney to RN--best education path?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to wobegon78's topic in Nursing Career

    I realize this thread is old, but I was happy to see that someone else is an attorney who wants to leave the law. I am doing the ASN route; hopefully, I'll find a job when I'm done and then get my...

  18. Chamberlain BSN- Single mom

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to Lynette86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no opinion on Chamberlain, or any other school. I do have comments on the cost. I have been there/done that on school loans. You sign the papers, never realizing what it all means. Do you know...

  19. Normandale Community College pre-nursing

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

    Admissions are very competitive. At each school, the applicants will be ranked based on their GPA and their TEAS score (divided by 10). In other words, if you have a GPA of 2.75 and a TEAS of 75%,...

  20. Normandale Community College pre-nursing

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

    With the MANE program, you just have to complete the first semester of classes in order to apply (there are other requirements, but these are the classes you have to have done): ENGC 1101 Freshman...

  21. Normandale Community College pre-nursing

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

    I'm applying to NHCC, but I'm not sure if that matters much. On NHCC's website, it states: The Associate of Science in Nursing is designed to articulate to: Bethel University B.S.N. in Nursing degree...

  23. Second Careers

    Peanut&Buttercup posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I will be starting an ADN program in the fall. This will be a career change for me. I already have a BS. Unfortunately, a direct entry/accelerated program was not an option for me (I had a little...

  24. For giggles 2.7 GPA

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

    Where I am, they have a new dual admission program. You go to a community college and do the ADN, then you can go to the university to get your BSN if you want. The best part? admissions is based...

  25. Dates of Orientation for NHCC and IHCC programs?

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

    NHCC's website mentions an orientation, but all it says is that it takes place after acceptance into the program. Your best bet is to contact the schools and see if the dates have been scheduled
