   cec1183 replied to faith2014's topic in Washington DC

   @bnicole7 I'll be on C4-2, the MICU. Our nursing program is in the area so I think most of us already have housing, but if I hear of anyone looking I will try to connect y'all :) @boscape good luck on your interview tomorrow!

   As others have said, thank you for this article! I am graduating in about a week and my first job out of school has rotating shifts. A lot of very useful tips!

5. Working while in school

   cec1183 replied to bjames09's topic in General Students

   Yes, it is feasible to work. Several of my friends are working as techs while completing a 15 month ABSN program. Some full time, some part time. They are very good at managing their schedules and sometimes have to make sacrifices to make everything ...

8. better to do ASN at a community college?

   cec1183 replied to mangoman's topic in General Students

   You do not need a bachelor's degree to bridge an ADN to a BSN. Bridge programs allow nurses with 2 year degrees to take the additional classes necessary to earn a BSN without having to start from scratch. As for the pre-med requirements, a general B...

9. better to do ASN at a community college?

   cec1183 replied to mangoman's topic in General Students

   I agree, but the OP stated that he/she would start with an ADN. It would be quicker to bridge to a BSN than start a completely new degree in order to apply to med school.

10. better to do ASN at a community college?

    cec1183 replied to mangoman's topic in General Students

    One important thing to note - you will need to complete a RN-to-BSN program before you can continue on to a nurse anesthetist program or to medical school.

12. A & P II with Chemistry 101/lab or with Microbiology?

    cec1183 replied to TMCasaletto's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took A&P II with Micro and found it to be manageable. Plus, there was considerable overlap between the two courses, which was nice to have in the same semester because it cut down (a little bit) on study time!

14. Self-Introduction Essay

    cec1183 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in General Students

    There are several grammatical errors in the essay - do you have someone that could proofread for you? As for content, I have two main comments: 1. Songwriting paragraph - I think a discussion of the common values that you have found in nursing and so...

15. Puppy and nursing school?

    cec1183 replied to arightnurse3465's topic in General Students

    I think a puppy will only add to your anxiety! As others have mentioned, they require a lot of time and attention to train. I have two 2 and 1/2 year old dogs and they *just* now are growing out of their puppy stage. Some of this is breed-specific, b...
