  1. Bad/good habits

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to letstalk's topic in General Students

    What kind of habits? Health habits? Study habits? Picking our noses? Whatcha looking

  2. How should I become an RN?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to amandax's topic in General Students

    Thanks, Episteme! I definitely found the NCLEX pass rates on the state board. I will do some more digging on the AACN site as well. Appreciate your

  3. How should I become an RN?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to amandax's topic in General Students

    Episteme: Where does one begin to look for this information? I have actually searched for it for my university and asked about it at our nursing school orientation.

  4. Statistics

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to boragirl02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Statistics is not easy, but it is critical to understand in order to interpret as well as conduct research. Statistics is generally a prerequisite for many public health and community nursing classes...

  5. How should I become an RN?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to amandax's topic in General Students

    Hi Amandax: Unless you are trying to get into a 4 year BSN program, you will have to take the prerequisite classes whether you get your CNA or not. If getting a CNA for you right now would be a...

  6. General Nursing Discussion

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Cecilediocson's topic in General Students

    I am not sure I understand your question. Is this for school? Are you asking what the difference is between a level 2 student now, and that SAME - currently level two student - in 30 years, or a...

  7. Tips for New Nursing Students

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to LoveLife28640's topic in General Students

    Honestly, there are so many threads on all of these topics that you could spend hours reading them! I would just do a general search against All Nurses. For instance, use "advice for new students" or...

  8. pre-req books

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to pdc8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What books are required for the classes you are taking? I would probably start with

  9. ABSN/Entry Level Masters

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to t_nguyen123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right?? It is a policy that has been put in place by the CNO. Completely bizarre. We have one (extremely well respected) university here that attempted to do a direct entry master's program that...

  10. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Penny-Cillin, if you do not mind me asking...why do you have a preference for UP? While I did not apply to OHSU, I almost wish I had as their program is significantly less expensive than UP. (Stupid...

  11. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Congrats on your OHSU acceptance, Penny_Cillin! I am in at U of P starting in January. So

  12. Stupid classmate tricks

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    I think my biggest pet peeve of all (and most widely applicable) is that person who consistently asks a question that was LITERALLY just answered exactly 5 seconds ago in

  13. ABSN/Entry Level Masters

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to t_nguyen123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My husband works for a hospital that will not accept direct entry MSN nurses because they do not have their BSN. It does not matter that they sit for the NCLEX, they lack a BSN. I do not know how...

  14. Do any hospitals in the Portland area have new grad RN programs??

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Several hospitals in Portland have new grad residency programs. Check out this link from OHSU and scroll down to Oregon:...

  15. The FINAL final

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to mynismrh's topic in General Students

    Good luck...make sure you get plenty of sleep. It is just as important as

  16. Sociology CLEP

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to NurseSN45696's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not entirely sure, but if you google it, there are some sociology CLEP sample questions you could take a look at as well as a description on the CLEP page. Introductory Sociology | CLEP. Good

  17. switching nursing schools

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to Jen717's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually doubt that withdrawing from that school will cause issues getting into a masters program. You are only required to submit transcripts for schools in which you have earned credits. If you...

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

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to KS01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check in with your local community college. Most community colleges now offer online courses and nutrition is easy enough to find online. O.chem may be difficult as it does have a lab...

  19. Tips for succeeding?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to barnesn8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are unable to make time to study, you will probably need to address that. I do not know what the rest of your schedule is, but if you are only working 25 hours per week, that should leave...

  20. choosing right school

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to lpachecokaya's topic in General Students

    If your ultimate goal is to get your BSN and then Masters, I would suggest looking at colleges that have transferable credits. Are there any other schools in the area that offer nursing programs and...

  21. Community college vs. Sumner College

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to RachMP05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree with the pp.'s. I would be exceedingly wary of pursuing an RN through Sumner if their credits will not transfer. While you will have your RN, it leaves you at a significant...

  22. Dropping classes

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to dnelson120's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the program, but yes, absolutely, it can affect your ability to transfer or get into specific programs. A couple W's on your transcript will not be too bad, but colleges do not like to...

  23. Tips for succeeding?

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to barnesn8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If nursing is something that you truly want to pursue, then put yourself in the best position to succeed. If your GPA is a 2.7, it sounds as if you are struggling in more than just science. Are you...

  24. Human Growth and Development

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to TexRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it is the psychology course, it is probably lifespan human development, so it discusses human developmental stages - physical, cognitive, and psychosocial - from a variety of theoretical...

  25. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    VivaLaVespaGirl replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    If your immunizations were done in oregon, you might be able to track them down using the oregon public health website. There is a form you can fill out to request your immunization records: Getting...
