I too had to take additional credits. Yes prereqs are included, but here is the difference: I didn't know adn programs were required to take 2 semesters of a language, statistics, some even required...
Unfortunately educators and social workers are severely underpaid. I agree with you 10000000%. I am happy to have been accepted into my program. I'm told all the time I'm doing the right thing by...
As I said before, there is more nursing theory work in a bsn program over an adn program. This is why associate degree programs, regardless of the major require a minimum of 60 something credit hours....
No grammar police here. I would be under the jail, lol. It makes me feel better to know that the research classes, theory will be beneficial. Seriously, I want to be where you are. A licensed...
The nursing core classes are fundamentals, peds, maternity, med surg 1 and 2, etc. Bachelors degrees are required a minimum of 120 credit hours, some even more credit hours. Just like there is a...
By no means did I mean to come across as if the adn programs did not learn theory or do research. I genuinely apologize if I did. I'm thinking now I should have used the word difficult. I know that...
How could you have received the same amount of nursing theory in an adn program compared to a bsn program? Isn't that the difference in the two? I'm assuming you went the adn route based on your...
I would have went to an associate program too if that was the only one that accepted me. If I could do it all over again, I would have applied to the adn programs. I got caught up in the "bsn is...
I used the ethics class as an example. I could have easily posted a list of all the other theory classes that are required from my program that are to be completed alongside the nursing core classes....
The point you made about more theory work being fulfilled along side the nursing portion of the program is what makes it more difficult, is exactly what I meant. There are moments I WISHED all I had...
I understand your point. The level of difficulty in a class will be different for all. You are right, both programs have to take the same nclex. Even worse, to be paid the same amount as a new grad...
Hello there, congratulations on your acceptance to nursing school. If I could do it all over again... -find someone who has taken the class before, get the syllabus, and start reading/outline...
I understand. Do what MizMaverick suggested. I did that for my health and assessment class when it came time for validations. It helps to make the material stick. It really does. Also, so you won't...
Hi, is there someone you can speak with clinical/lab instructor who can go over the areas where you are having issues? Do you have a copy of the validation/skills list that shows the areas you had...
Hi, I too am from IL. I'm curious as to how the city colleges of chicago can even able to offer a larger program, when none of the colleges NCLEX rates are good. I JUST checked the percentages. MX...
Hi all, I am a new member to this site. A friend of mine recommended it to me since we are both in nursing school. I really need some help. I'm about to finish my second semester and passed one of my...
Hi, thanks for the warm welcome! I feel like when I do eliminate my answer options down to two, I start to second guess myself and then I over analyze my answer. Uggggh. God forbid its a "select all...
Thank you both for replying. I will definitely go purchase a recorder and download the class lectures. I didn't realize that was the only thing I wasn't doing. I've never been an auditory learner. I...
