Tattling sounds pretty high school to me. How about "I appreciate you letting me in on the secret, but we've had this no eating and drinking rule for years and I don't think that it is appropriate to...

This is silly. You've essentially created a divide in your unit. Experienced nurses vs new grads. There is literally nothing good that can come of this. The new grads will feel you are unapproachable,...
This is what I'm thinking. It would be a disservice to teach you to be a nurse in English when your career will require you to be a nurse in Korean. What I mean by this is that there is a large gap in...
Go to medical school if you want to be a doctor. Your nursing school pre-reqs will not be the same as your med school pre-reqs and by the time you start clinicals, you won't have time to finish...
A BSN degree is 2 years of prerequisites and general education and 2 years in a nursing program. At my school, you started as a "pre-nursing" major and then in your sophomore year you applied for the...

I have no idea how long it takes to become an LPN. But it sounds like you're gonna do pre reqs. LPN. The 2 years to be an RN. Then 1-3 years to go RN-BSN, 2+ years of critical care experience, 3 years...
My Mom LOVES being a CRNA. She gets along fine with the Anesthesiologists and many of the MDs in the hospital request her specifically for their cases. I think you just came across a wonky thread -...
I was a lot like you. Top 7% in my high school and then just...tanked in college (as a bio major). Bad grades, depression...all of it. I will admit that the lowest my GPA ever got was 2.8 BUT some of...
I haven't even started my program yet and just to accept my seat (no tuition involved) is $700 dollars. Plus $50 for sending my transcripts and $65 to apply.... Add in the cost of books for my first...

From what I've seen. MSN and DNP programs require a BSN...maybe there's a MSN bridge since you have a prior degree...but DNP you will definitely need a BSN...along with several years of critical care...
I failed a class once and had an adviser tell me to change my major "biology" and that there was no way I could ever get into medical school whether it be nursing, respiratory therapy ect. So I told...
Maybe I'm off base. But your username is "4mykids" ... What are you teaching them by just...giving up. You did the hard part. You got through school...and now you're just going to quit...without even...
ATBStudent replied to pre-unsure's topic in Nursing Career
I think you're digging a bigger hole with that one. There are 7 nurses in my family and I guarantee you they will say they do make the biggest impact. They advocate, medicate, get meals, make them...
So I will be starting nursing school Fall 2014 and one of the requirements for the program is a drug and background test. A while back my physician thought that I may have a mild case of ADHD and...
