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 break that rule given the risk to patient safety....

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, they won't ask questions, and then you'll get mad...

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 vocabulary between medical personnel (like nurses...

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 everything you need for the MCAT. Doctors and nurses hav...

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 nursing program. From what I've seen, none of 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 of intense full time CRNA school and then 4 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 - any intelligent MD understands the value of a good ...

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 prescribed Vyvanse to see if it would help. It didn't...

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 those bad grades were nursing pre-reqs so...it was...

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 semester $1000 and all the miscellaneous tasks to ...

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 experience...and most hospitals want BSNs for thos...

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 HIM that it was his job to build students up and te...

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 knowing what your results are? I'm sorry. I know ...

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 comfortable. Unless you're a surgeon, a Doctors impac...

A few months

I think have a Spanish option at the ATM or on an automated phone line is a reasonable accommodation given that we live in a country with such a prevalent Hispanic community. Having professors make up special exams for the single american in their c...

I'll agree to that. The French for example (haha)...I just felt op was being unrealistic in their expectations for accommodation... Culture is a wonderful thing... I wish more people were open to experiencing it.

And yet Americans are known for their closed mindedness when it comes to culture and language. It's not ignorance. It's an observation of my own culture.

Not sure why you're arguing with me. You just made my point. The op is in Korea. He should learn Korean. The end. Also, you have no way of knowing how long those "people" have been in our country. So you can't judge. Op has clearly been in Korea for ...

Sigh. Only Americans can move to a foreign country and get mad they don't speak English. I would learn the language and culture of the country you're in. They don't owe you anything.

It may take 2 years to get an associates in nursing, but for most people it takes an additional year or two to take all the prerequisites. Take a look at some of the requirements for the programs around you and take those as part of your duel enrollm...

OP my advice to you would be to continue on. Retake courses if you can - but don't quit. I got a C in a&p 1 and FAILED a&p 2 the first time I took it. I later retook it and got a B. I have a ton of withdrawals on my record and my overall GPA ...

As someone who just finished a biology degree, I would caution you not to take it lightly. I don't know about the school you're talking about but in my experience, there is no testing out. Courses change every semester based on the current literature...

3.0 but I have a bio degree and scored in the 99th percentile on TEAS. Starting my associates to bachelors program in August =] yay

If there's no mark in your glove I don't see how you could have gotten a stick. And if it just grazed you. It's really really unlikely that there was enough blood or penetration to transmit a blood born pathogen. I think you're just freaking out. It'...
