  1. what laptop is good for nursing school

    ready2baRN replied to nat_22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I needed a new laptop as my clumsy Labrador broke my last one. I just brought a Dell. My first time owning a Dell but so far I like it. It's very practical for nursing school. It's a 2 and 1...

  2. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    ready2baRN replied to Ashleee014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are several factors that led me to want to become a nurse. I always loved science and medicine. Growing up my favorite shows always involved the medicine. Shows like Rescue 911, ER, House,...

  3. CONFUSED...I thought 1 yr into a 2yr RN program, you can b LPN???

    ready2baRN replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    Here in Florida the BON will allow you to challenge the boards after 1 year but certain criteria must be met first which are the type of classes and a certain amount of clinical/lab hours you must...

  4. Orientation Question

    ready2baRN replied to JACSN's topic in General Students

    My orientation is on Friday and I plan on wearing some nice jeans and a polo shirt. You want to be comfortable but look presentable. Like the above poster said you don't want to looks like you just...

  5. what age did you decide to become a nurse

    ready2baRN replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I was 32 when I decided I'm just going to go for it. Previously I had many years in health care on the administrative assistant/executive assistant aspect of health care. I worked in a few hospitals...

  6. My experience at ITT Breckinridge school of nursing (Ft. Lauderdale)

    ready2baRN replied to ready2baRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Fearless_Leader, I'm sure you will make the right decision for yourself as I think I have made the right decision for myself. My goal is to be able to sit for the NCLEX and pass the test and...

  7. Lack of new graduate jobs

    ready2baRN replied to LondonFog's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other posters. Job opportunities probably rely heavily on location. I worked as an executive assistant for the nursing administration at a hospital here in south Florida and they...

  8. Complete RN Program from Scratch

    ready2baRN replied to msdee's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other posters. There is no way to complete an entire RN program online. Your states BON requires that you complete a certain amount of lab hours and clinical hours to be able to sit...

  9. How did you decide your specialty?

    ready2baRN replied to frequentFLyER's topic in General Students

    I don't start nursing school until next month, but I would LOVE to get into the CVICU when I graduate. My background is in Clinical Exercise Physiology and I'm fascinated with the cardiovascular...

  10. Appropriate orientation attire

    ready2baRN replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    I honestly don't get the "dress to impress" idea for orientation. I use to be an executive assistant for a nursing administration department for a well known hospital. I know all about dressing to...

  11. I'm failing at life.

    ready2baRN replied to I'mReallyDumb's topic in General Students

    I agree with the other posters. I think you need to take some time off and figure out what it is you really would love to do. Picking nursing just because it seems like a "suitable" choice is...

  12. Appropriate orientation attire

    ready2baRN replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Well being as though we live in a technology advanced era. I just YouTube different types of orientation and that's what I stumbled

  13. Appropriate orientation attire

    ready2baRN replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Honestly I think you should dress simple and comfortable. You don't know how much walking you will do that day. I would dress for the job you are pursuing. Nurses usually wear scrubs to work so I...

  14. what laptop is good for nursing school

    ready2baRN replied to nat_22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can afford a MacBook (they are pretty pricy) you should go with that. They are pretty sturdy and last awhile. I need a new laptop also as my clumsy Labrador retriever knocked mine off the bed...

  15. I Want to Be an RN; I Am Bad at Math.

    ready2baRN replied to MysticTopaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel your pain. I failed Intermediate Algebra TWICE and the final attempt I passed with a C. Now I'm really nervous because I start nursing school next month and what class do I have to take? You...

  16. "Nursing Shortage"

    ready2baRN replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

    If you go on the Bureau of Labor and Statistics you will see the projected job growth for nurses which is about 19% from now and 2022. There were about 2,711,500 jobs in 2012. An estimated 529,000...

  17. Rn to Bsn online, Good idea?

    ready2baRN replied to amirana1's topic in School, College Programs

    In researching several RN-BSN programs ALL of them were online even the programs offered at traditional public state colleges. I believe the programs are set up that way for the professional nurse...

  18. is nursing really worth the debt

    ready2baRN replied to starnurse2b16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally understand how you feel. I am in the same boat. Although I do have a BS degree in Clinical Exercise Physiology I received a C in A&P II and had a tough time passing chemistry so...

  19. itt tech scam?

    ready2baRN replied to agills's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in the same boat at you. However I researched many different schools with ITT being one of them. Affordability for me plays a key factor because I am not eligible for grants and have exhausted...

  20. So I have a few questions about my GPA.

    ready2baRN replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Students

    I think you need to politely tell you mother that her constant berating is putting you in a bad place. It may seem frightening at first but if she respects you not only as child but as an adult she...

  21. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    ready2baRN replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    My point is the OP gave an example of a teaching style is boring and less engaging to the student with the instructor standing in front of the class room for hours and reading verbatim off a power...

  22. Which classes should I take, and will I make it?

    ready2baRN replied to JackieTL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Jackie, As far as which class is more difficult that will be different from each individual. For instance I passed micro with flying colors but had a really hard time with chem. Another person...

  23. Why Do Nursing Instructors Rely So Heavily On PowerPoints To Teach?

    ready2baRN replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    I think Nursing has a philosophical component to it that causes you to think critically. That is why most colleges make you take a philosophy course as a GEN ED because you will need to think...

  24. Dr threatening

    ready2baRN replied to mfarmer88's topic in Nurse Management

    I worked at many of hospitals (non clinical on the administrative side) and one particular hospital (which I will not name but it's a world renowened hospital and has been voted the number 1 hospital...

  25. thinking of startng at the Breckinridge School of nursing @ ITT Tech Lake mary Fl

    ready2baRN replied to mengil's topic in Florida Nursing

    They are NOT accredited by ACEN OR CCNE. Getting your credits transferred to a major university will be difficult. I was there for 3 hours doing a school tour and asked lots of questions. I also...
