    Did I get accepted?

    nalie2 replied to hopefulfuturern86's topic in General Students

    I'm not familiar with that school, but it sounds like you are in the program as long as you pass your pre-reqs. Some schools accept you into the nursing program before you even start pre-reqs and you...

    How did you get that?

    nalie2 replied to Ames coolvibeman's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming your drip factor is 20 gtt/mL and the answer you're looking for is drip rate. So you take the volume (1000) times drip factor (20) and all divided by the number of minutes (10 hours times...

    need advice for nursing schools

    nalie2 replied to heyitsraj's topic in General Students

    When I was applying for nursing schools I went to California's BRN website. I clicked on every single school listed on there and looked at their requirements and admitted students GPA and TEAS scores....

    California Nursing Advice

    nalie2 replied to NorCalPal's topic in General Students

    Your GPA is good, but BSN programs are really competitive. Get A's in those pre reqs anatomy, physio, etc. and score really well on the TEAS. The prereq and TEAS score is what is really going to...

    Am I over thinking this? Opinions appreciated.

    nalie2 replied to Futuremurse23's topic in General Students

    What made you feel like he didn't like you? It's probably in your head. I wouldn't worry about it until it becomes a problem like others have said. I do think a clinical instructor can fail you if...

    Finding the right nursing school for me in SoCal

    nalie2 replied to hopeful_RN_student's topic in General Students

    I understand. Well, good luck to you. Check out the BRN's website. They list all approved nursing programs. Most ADN programs have similar prereqs so you can probably apply to several already with the...

    2nd time around

    nalie2 replied to tbird88's topic in General Students

    I haven't been in your situation, but if I were you, I would take this time to master skills and get better at clinicals. I would still pay attention on the class you are auditing because you'll pick...

    Ethical delema

    nalie2 replied to Cclm's topic in General Students

    If I were you I would keep my mouth shut. I know it sucks, but you said yourself you're from a small town and you don't want to get black balled as you called it. As others have stated, the patient's...

    Done something in Clinical you weren't supposed to?

    nalie2 replied to tammytwochains's topic in General Students

    Oh thank god. Sarcasm does not come across well through text for me.

    Finding the right nursing school for me in SoCal

    nalie2 replied to hopeful_RN_student's topic in General Students

    Would you mind sharing the name of the school? I'm curious to know which school it is. I've heard bad things about ELAC which is why I didn't apply there and I'm curious to know if that was it. I...

    Undecided if I want to be a nurse. Please help!

    nalie2 replied to anothervietguy's topic in General Students

    I would try volunteering at a hospital. When I did volunteer that's where I discovered I was for sure in the right field. Some volunteers I worked with discovered nursing was NOT what they wanted to...

    Done something in Clinical you weren't supposed to?

    nalie2 replied to tammytwochains's topic in General Students

    Well mine is not nearly as interesting as the Noctor_Durse, but during first semester I was asked to do a urine specimen collection from a foley bag with my clinical instructor observing me. That was...

    Any ADN-BSN programs?

    nalie2 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm currently in an ADN program and I'm looking for an ADN-BSN program that doesn't require licensure initially to apply. Any strictly online or any in person school in Southern California is what I...

    Any ADN-BSN programs?

    nalie2 replied to nalie2's topic in General Students

    I hadn't thought about applying as a CNA. I'll have to talk to my employer about that. I just checked the hospital's website and they do have openings for that position. Thanks for suggesting

    Any ADN-BSN programs?

    nalie2 replied to nalie2's topic in General Students

    Yes, I am understanding my employer. Where they stand is crystal clear. Other students that graduated last semester no longer work there because they aren't enrolled. So now they are jobless and still...

    Thanks for the info! I thought I was gonna have to wait a lot longer than 3 months to get my ATT. Some coworkers told me it took them almost a year!! I know this can change, but good to know it is...

    Tattoos

    nalie2 replied to ThatChickOmi's topic in General Students

    My school requires me to cover mine during clinicals. I have several on both of my arms including my lower forearms. I wear a long sleeved shirt underneath my scrubs and the color has to match my...

    Any ADN-BSN programs?

    nalie2 replied to nalie2's topic in General Students

    I am supposed to be graduating in December so I'm looking for a BSN program I can start after I get the ADN to continue my enrollment in a nursing program to satisfy my job requirement. I'm just...

    Any ADN-BSN programs?

    nalie2 replied to nalie2's topic in General Students

    I've checked many RN-BSN programs and they all require licensure, so I was hoping there was such a thing as ADN-BSN. One of the contingencies of my employment is that I have to be enrolled in a...

    Pre-nursing: How to answer NCLEX q's before RN school (or mastering them)

    nalie2 replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Worry about your prereqs first and foremost, because without that there won't even be any nursing school for you. If you're reading the required textbook for the nutrition class and it isn't helping...

    What to do?! ADN or LVN

    nalie2 replied to Mrscoltweaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! The only way to find out how many applicants you are up against is to ask the school or check their website. I know schools I applied to released that type of information but after the...

    Will you be attending a community college? In California we have a board of governor's fee waiver meaning if your income is below a certain amount you only pay around $30 per semester total. If you're...

    Right Path to Nursing?

    nalie2 replied to nur_journey's topic in General Students

    If you're close to getting your bachelor's then it seems like an accelerated BSN program would be the best option. However, since you failed nursing school do you think you would be okay with a fast...

    Not a CNA, LPN, CMA, etc.

    nalie2 replied to RSP.SN's topic in General Students

    I wasn't a CNA when I started nursing school. The CNAs and LVNs at times had an advantage because they had more experience in dealing with difficult patients, skills like blood draw and were exposed...
