    BSN Our Lady of Holy Cross College...HELP!

    I have everything completed except the philosophy and theology. Have you talked with Brandy? She is immensely helpful. Honestly, if you aren't worried about the cost I would say go for it. They do...

    Reconstitution Help!!!!!

    Wouldn't it be 4.8ml since the reconstitution says for IV to add and additional 10ml NS, making total volume 20ml? Edit ... Or would it be 12.4ml since it says (reread) an additional 10ml per
  3. Eek. Sounds like a case of jealousy sadly. As long as you are published in per reviewed publications with a sound research methodology it certainly should not hinder your application. Perhaps as a PP...

    I need advice...

    Talk to your professor and advisor. If you're actually failing with no chance of passing you should drop. But some nursing schools only allow you to attempt a class a limited number of times so you...

    I don't know if I will go back to school now

    Ah the fresh new mommy hormones.... Don't make any major life changing decisions right now. Enjoy your new baby and don't stress. I waited 5 months to go back to work (partially because I was laud off...

    Made a terrible mistake...

    Academic suspension and probation is likely different than what happened to you. Typically academic suspension results in being dismissed from a program not made to sit out for a day. The best way to...

    Can't seem to get my foot in the door

    Personally I would steer away from ADN program simply because the employment market is leaning toward only hiring BSNs in many acute care settings. So it may be nearly impossible to get a job much...

    concerns about seeking mental health treatment

    Call your OB. If it's just the baby blues or even mild PPD they can help you work through it. You owe it to yourself together help. You might have to report to the board if they put you on an SSRI or...

    Sociology

    That being said I would take the basic intro to sociology. It's an easy A to boost your gpa. You might learn something to

    The Clinical Ladder

    Forgive me if this is a 'stupid' question. But what exactly does this mean? I am a new nursing student. I see this phrase repeatedly on this forum, but never with an explanation of exactly what the...

    Question about education

    Right but you would still need those pre reqs if you were applying to the nursing portion of a traditional program so it is in fact an accelerated way to get to RN, at least in my state. PP had stated...

    Scrub tops for petite with larger chest?

    That's a major bummer. Do you own a sewing machine or know someone that does? You could always tailor tops by adding buttons or darts to create the more form fitted look. I have to alter all my pants...

    Question about education

    Here (Louisiana) the aBSN programs are approximately 22 months straight through. Whereas the traditional BSN programs are 5-6 semesters with no summer semesters. So the 22 months shaves about a year...

    Scrub tops for petite with larger chest?

    I like the Greys anatomy tops that have the double button in the back. I was even able to wear them when my big boobs (36 dd) grew to size obnoxious (38f) after I had my baby. The wonder wink are my...

    Smart Enough?

    You got accepted to an early admit RN BSN program. You ARE smart enough. Schools typically don't accept students they don't think will succeed. It is very costly To educate students, they don't want...
