  1. Come on Blizzard!

    andrea3434 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    They must be more cautious now, they closed our district two hours early and we got maybe 2-3 inches yesterday. We did get really lucky with the weather this year though, I had to convince my...

  2. ABSN student going into NP programs

    andrea3434 replied to koreanbraves's topic in General Students

    Totally depends on the school. My BSN school did not look at my previous degree GPA at all. They only counted my prerequisite GPA and any other classes I had taken at their school (the school I was...

  3. Missed application deadline

    andrea3434 replied to amber_nicolee22's topic in General Students

    andrea3434 replied to Roxy Simms's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome! I'll be 37 when I graduate with my BSN and I hope I am foruntatw to be able to work for 30+

  6. PLEASE HELP! I AM STRESSED TO THE MAX!! How long do Prerequisites last?

    andrea3434 replied to Ms.Gainer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah you are going to have to replace those Cs. A 2.6 likely doesn't even meet the minimum GPA requirements to apply to nursing school. You aren't too old if this is really what you want to

  7. PLEASE HELP! I AM STRESSED TO THE MAX!! How long do Prerequisites last?

    andrea3434 replied to Ms.Gainer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is going to get moved to the student forum I'm assuming. I'm laughing at your poll choices...how do we know how old you are?? I will be 37 when I graduate nursing school. Only the school you are...

  8. Need help making a decision RN VS BSN

    andrea3434 replied to rfutrell's topic in General Students

    I would probably just go to the school you were accepted at. A lot of people will put thoughts into your head about nursing school being next to impossible. I am getting better grades in school now...

  9. Am I too old to start this?

    andrea3434 replied to mightyaphrodite's topic in General Students

    Hi! I'm not the person you quoted but I wanted to say I get way better grades now in nursing school then I did when I was going for my original degree 15 years ago. The classes are tough but I am...

  10. Need help making a decision RN VS BSN

    andrea3434 replied to rfutrell's topic in General Students

    If you go to the "RN" school (I'm assuming that means it's an ASN? I might be confused), what is your plan to get your BSN you need to obtain your CRNA? What is the reason you would choose this...

  11. Low GPA looking for an ABSN program. Help!

  12. Number One Pet Peeve in Nursing School: Future "Paycheck Nurses"

    andrea3434 replied to joshmiller2010's topic in General Students

    I'm not the person you are asking but in MN we have two accelerated MSN programs that I know of that are for people with non-nursing Bachelor's degrees. One is at St. Scholastica and the other at...

  13. Evidence Based Weight Loss

    andrea3434 replied to Empire Chick's topic in General Nursing

    The craving cigarettes actually makes a lot of sense. You are using all of your will power to eat healthy and stay away from junk, so it's lacking in other areas (not smoking). I think it's awesome...

  14. So where IS the nursing shortage?

    andrea3434 replied to milliesmom88's topic in General Nursing

    I live in MN and both MN and ND are hiring RNs as hospital floor nurses all of the time. Schools are great. I know people who graduated from Rasmussen with their RN (not BSN) and were offered $32/hr...

  15. Where to obtain BSN coming from Rasmussen?

    andrea3434 replied to MnRNhopeful's topic in General Students

    Wait why do you think Rasmussen is less expensive? You do know there are plenty of public state schools and universities that have BSN programs and are also cheaper than Rasmussen don't

  16. Where to obtain BSN coming from Rasmussen?

    andrea3434 replied to MnRNhopeful's topic in General Students

    St. Cloud State U just (within the past couple semesters) opened up a "RN to BSN" online bridge program! I know many nurses get hired at St. Cloud Hospital who come from

  17. Failed preceptorship

    andrea3434 replied to Spurse32's topic in General Nursing

    " I got super anxious. I should just grabbed his meds, found a clearer spot to work, took a deep breathe and been more careful. It was bad and unsafe." It sounds like you have great self awareness and...

  18. FAILED first clinical evaluation head to toe

    andrea3434 replied to jpd1g's topic in General Students

    They never gave you a chance to practice on a VS machine before a test out??? I have failed test outs before on the first time, but never because I wasn't given ample time to practice (failed because...

  19. School dropped ball on clinical rotation contract, Need Advice!

    andrea3434 replied to JBfromSiliconValley's topic in General Students

    If they truly are trying and can't find you a spot then I would ask about internships over school

  20. School dropped ball on clinical rotation contract, Need Advice!

    andrea3434 replied to JBfromSiliconValley's topic in General Students

    Sorry to jump to conclusions! I would still advocate for myself to get a clinical spot this semester. As you stated, a medical library is absolutely not an acceptable

  21. School dropped ball on clinical rotation contract, Need Advice!

    andrea3434 replied to JBfromSiliconValley's topic in General Students

    This is BS...let me guess...for profit college? What I would do? I would make the school administration extremely familiar with my face until they found an appropriate clinical rotation for

    andrea3434 replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    Performing a new skill on a patient while the RN watches. My instructors so far have been kind but I've had 1 less than friendly RN...which was actually great for me. She got me out of my comfort...

  23. Discouraged need advice

    andrea3434 replied to jones532's topic in General Students

    Does your school do grade replacement? Like if you retake a class and earn an A, will it completely replace your D in your GPA average? If so, I would do that for a couple of your first year classes...

  24. Any tips before going into nursing school?

    andrea3434 replied to NurseH1903's topic in General Students

    I wish I would've I would've had some CNA or PCA experience first. If I were you I would take a CNA class and work at a hospital while waiting for acceptance/starting

  25. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    andrea3434 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wish I could like this a hundred times. Back in a previous life I worked in the corporate world. They did this crap ALL OF THE TIME. They would hire someone new to do the exact job (no prior...
