    ready2baRN replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    Our pass rate is 80% for all test and to pass the class. However they are gracious and do round up if you end up with a 79.5% or higher they will round up to a B but if you get a 79.4% you end up...

    ready2baRN replied to LuciaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    It really baffles me that people get into nursing with the mentality that people only get sick on the NURSES schedule. "I'm sorry Mr. John Doe but it's the weekend so can you tell your pneumonia to...

  4. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    ready2baRN replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    I think some students are book smart and some students are floor smart. What do I mean by that? There are students that could probably recite the entire fundamentals and med-surg books cover to...

  9. Nurse Practitioner vs Physicians Assistant

    ready2baRN replied to _iamkel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  11. Nurse Practitioner vs Physicians Assistant

    ready2baRN replied to _iamkel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't have anything meaningful to add but I just wanted to chime in on how I love the fact that this thread went from a poster inquiring about a specific field to a spelling and grammar fight. LOL...

  12. How did you pay for nursing school? Help...I'm in a pickle!

    ready2baRN replied to dc1994's topic in General Students

  13. I think I might be in the wrong field

    ready2baRN replied to ptrang1987's topic in General Students

    If you intend on working with the public there will always be really nice people and really mean people. That's just human nature. Not every patient you have will be grateful what you do for them....

  14. degree changers, was nursing harder than your previous degree?

    ready2baRN replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I would say nursing is just a smidge harder than my previous degree. I received my bachelors in exercise physiology and I think it prepared me very well for the science part of nursing. Learning the...

  15. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    ready2baRN replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it should be required to be a CNA before becoming a Nurse but I think some shadowing experience should be required. Most other health professions require it (PT, PA, etc). Nursing is...

  16. Can past drug use before becoming a nurse hurt you?

    ready2baRN replied to paranoid's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed!

  17. Can past drug use before becoming a nurse hurt you?

    ready2baRN replied to paranoid's topic in General Nursing

    The BON wouldn't have any interest in someone "calling" them saying "Person A did drugs 10 years ago and should not be giving a nursing license" If there were no arrest, convictions, photos, or video...

  21. Why am I starting out making 19 an hour?

    ready2baRN replied to NewgradMary's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yep and I think some people think otherwise. Although the career can be financially rewarding in the long run, its by no means a get rich fast lottery

  22. Why am I starting out making 19 an hour?

    ready2baRN replied to NewgradMary's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "Starting" salary and "Average median salary" are two different ball games. Inexperienced new grads will make significantly less then the nurse who has way more experience. The average median salary...
