  1. Summer Jobs

    happyinmyheart replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm glad to hear about someone in a similar situation :) It's definitely a tough decision to make- Especially since the job market is tough and I need all the transferable skills I can

  3. Kishwaukee College

    happyinmyheart replied to nwjones2005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am from around that area, and I have heard that they get many applicants. However, I do not know their "criteria" as far as getting into the school. But it would be easy for you to do your RN-BSN at...

  5. why do nurses discourage nursing students?

    happyinmyheart replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that even if students don't see it at first.... They find out once they get a job. Sometimes you just have to step in your own

  6. How important are minors?

    happyinmyheart replied to kgao's topic in General Students

    I decided to minor in Family, Consumer & Nutrition Sciences because it only required one extra class outside of the classes I already had to take. I thought, why

  10. Online LPN to RN college in Illinois?

    happyinmyheart replied to ChitowNurse's topic in Illinois Nursing

    However- I'm also not for sure on

  11. Online LPN to RN college in Illinois?

    happyinmyheart replied to ChitowNurse's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I live in Illinois- I'm not completely sure there are any LPN-RN programs 100% online. I've seen many RN-BSN though. Just my 2 cents

  12. Where do all the nursing students who keep getting rejected end up majoring in?

    happyinmyheart replied to starter12345's topic in General Students

    All of the ones at my school (Traditional BSN) switch to: 1. Public Health 2. Child Development Many switch to public health because it has the most pre-requisites in common with nursing at our...

  13. What is the draw to nursing these days

    happyinmyheart replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I have almost made a thread asking this same exact question. I have been wandering around on these threads since I was a sophomore in high school (didn't make an account until later) and...

    happyinmyheart replied to NicuRN628's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you so much for answering my question :) that was most helpful!! I hope you enjoy your new NICU position- you should post about how it goes

  15. I just accepted my dream position

    happyinmyheart replied to NicuRN628's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't have any advice for you (I am still a pre-nursing student) But I'm curious what you did to make yourself stand out. It's difficult to get a job as a new grad, especially in the NICU :) oh- and...

  16. It's a crime to take pictures of your patients

    happyinmyheart replied to Alnitak7's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    That's what I thought. When I became a CNA we had HIPAA explained very well to us. I'm surprised that the dietary aides weren't taught this as well.... Or maybe they were and she just didn't

  17. hospital based program

    happyinmyheart replied to toi121's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is a hospital based program near me that is actually a BSN. So they are not all ADN college programs anymore

  18. It's a crime to take pictures of your patients

    happyinmyheart replied to Alnitak7's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I know a girl who works as a dietary aide at a local nursing home. She posts pictures of the residents on her Snapchat story all the time. This is against HIPAA

  19. RN to Healthcare Administration Question

    happyinmyheart replied to gett34's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    For the most part I believe elkpark is right. It may definitely make employers look twice at you- But I definitely think that most of these positions are requiring a masters level degree for entry...

  20. Is it too late for me?

    happyinmyheart posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello all :) So as I have been preparing for this summer, I have been faced with a dilemma. My junior year of high school I took a CNA course through the local community college and got certified in...

  21. Is it too late for me?

    happyinmyheart replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for your response :) I am hoping that I would catch on quickly again to everything. And you are right... Many of the duties of a CNA are personal care. So I would definitely remember to...

  22. Is it too late for me?

    happyinmyheart replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The place I would be considering is a nursing home about 15 min away from me! I am just afraid my skills would be too rusty, ya know? I may just have to take a leap of faith haha

  23. Is it too late for me?

    happyinmyheart replied to happyinmyheart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oops, I forgot to mention this. I am talking about a summer job! I do not plan on working during the school year

  24. ACT score good enough to get in school?

    happyinmyheart replied to xjay22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It definitely depends on the program. To get into our program "early", high school GPA, ACT score ( minimum 25) , and reading ACT score(mine was a 33) were factors. To get in "late" only college GPA...

  25. honestly, is nursing school plausible with a 2.2 gpa?

    happyinmyheart replied to queene's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
