    Foreign medical graduate wanting advanced nursing

    WookieeRN replied to superking's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Many Masters programs specifically require a BSN. However, there are some direct-entry MSN programs that will take a non-nursing bachelors

    Montgomery County Community College Nursing

    WookieeRN replied to Blue Robin's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You get more points for your application if you take the classes as MC3. Aim for the 60 range, point-wise. I think I heard their last round took people with points ranging 58ish-80ish. They used to...

    Working while in school

    WookieeRN replied to Palamino2019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A week really isn't a long time in the hiring world, to be honest. I would be worried if it was a month or more without hearing anything. Hiring in the hospital is a long process in a lot of...

    Cannot find no ADN programs!

    WookieeRN replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

    If you can't/won't drive, how do you expect to get to clinical? Many times students can have to travel up to an hour or more away for one

    Cannot find no ADN programs!

    WookieeRN replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

    There aren't many online programs for prelicensure. I can think of only one hybrid program and its in NC. Most are for students that are already

    This the path I take?

    WookieeRN replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

    I honestly think the most important part of the equation is that you need to become a nurse first in order to do anything else, as you've seen. You're kind of putting the care before the horse. Are...

    This the path I take?

    WookieeRN replied to xoxo23's topic in General Students

    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but CNM is a graduate program, meaning you can't really just get your ADN and then become certified as one. Also, if you just want to deliver babies why are you...

    Typical nursing school schedule?

    WookieeRN replied to lolly78's topic in General Students

    I have lab for 4 hours, clinical for 5, and 10 hours of lecture every week

    Amount of loans you can take out when you already have a bachelors?

    WookieeRN replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    Graduate limits are different than undergraduate. There has been a cap on federal student at least since 2006 when I first went to

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    WookieeRN replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    Employers don't care if you quit 2 weeks ago, to be honest. If it shows up on the test you're out. And it's been held up in court, to boot. Unfortunate but I guess as long as it isn't a protected...

    What to expect in Nursing School

    WookieeRN replied to Xstaticshock's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school is a whole lot of everything (fun, stress, work, and more stress). My experience has been good so far. I think the hardest thing the first semester for a lot of people is the workload...

    Amount of loans you can take out when you already have a bachelors?

    WookieeRN replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    Do NOT take out more loans than you expect to make your first year. Do you plan on making $160,000 your first year? Otherwise it will take you a lifetime to pay that

    what should I do with classmate/ friend who won't study but will complain about failing?

    WookieeRN replied to Goal_NP's topic in General Students

    If she won't put anything in, she won't get anything out. However, you can't make her see that; she has to see it for herself. If you feel it's starting to affect you, take some distance from

    Glucose Competency: testing your own blood sugar?

    What was your experience like in nursing school? I have a lot of questions!

    WookieeRN replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly. I don't truly study. I still get As. The person next to me studies day and night and we have the exact same grade. "Hardness" is an individual perception. I would tell you right now that...

    Holy moly, I don't think you're going to get anyone to write an essay answering all those question. Nursing school is hard. You get what you put

    Do you agree this was unethical?

    WookieeRN replied to Nurse_CrystalRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I've heard some crazy things to get a foot in a door, but I don't find this too unethical. We once had a new grad fudge her resume listing time she worked as a CNA as RN experience. I guess she didn't...

    Thinking of Dropping Out

    WookieeRN replied to urbangirl2020's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You would probably have to still do the 4 semesters (2 years) of nursing classes. Best resource would be to call the school and inquire. Nursing classes rarely transfer from school to
