    Nursing School in Canada

    Be careful about making plans to attend school in Canada and then possible work as an RN in the US. I know this is not the same in every case (I'm in Northeastern Florida) but there is an ER nurse I...

    Trying to Apply

    Instead of taking the actual exam to gauge what kind of score you might get, I would recommend purchasing a practice test on the ATI testing website. It's a bit cheaper (at least at my school it was...
  3. No, I am not planning to delete my Facebook. My family lives 2,800 miles away from me and I like to use Facebook as one of the ways to keep in touch. I do know of a few nursing students who got in...

    Finals Week

    Quizlet is a free study tool that allows you to make flashcards online. It also has a few other "games" on there to help with memorization and learning. Also, you can get a free app for your phone...

    Physiology in the summer

    I didn't take these courses in the summer, but I don't think what you're suggesting will be biting off more than you can chew. Last semester I took A&P II, Micro, Comp 2, Speech, and a Humanities...

    Job outlook for new RN grads in BayArea

    Hi there! So just to be completely clear, I live and work in Florida, but I lived in the Bay Area for 20 years and know many nurses who studied there. If you want the honest truth from what I've been...

    jobs for nursing students

    I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I'm starting work as a medical scribe in the ED and also will be attending my ADN program. This is not really the conventional route, but there are...

    Nursing Diploma

    You get an RN license, not diploma. That is acquired after taking your NCLEX, which most (all..?) ADN programs make you eligible to take. Personally, I will be doing an ADN program. After that, I'll...

    What Type of Entrance Test is Required?

    My ADN program requires the TEAS V. It was harder than I expected, but reasonable if you study the materials

    What job be better while in nursing school?

    I know this isn't specifically what you asked, but I recently got a job as a medical scribe and I recommend that. I was going to go for my CNA but I got wind that some local nursing students were...

    Goals after Graduation

    For me, the thought that there's nothing in the world that could give me as much fulfillment as nursing keeps me going. It's been a really tough semester with 17 credits and 9-5 job, but I know that's...

    Journey to the Ultimate Career.

    This definitely depends on the kind of financial need you have. Personally, I am mostly financially independent but live with my boyfriend who takes care of a lot of our monetary needs. I still...

    applying for nursing programs

    I'm not sure I know what you mean by "points". Are you referring to GPA, or points on the TEAS? Either way, I would call or email to speak to an academic advisor. They're usually very helpful about...

    Family not supportive

    I completely understand your frustrations. My family has recently come around (at least my parents have) but my uncles and aunts would constantly pepper me with mean-spirited jokes about how my...

    LPN or ABSN?

    I am not a nurse yet, just a pre-nursing student waiting to get into my RN program, so take that with a grain of salt. If I were in your position, I would first evaluate my goals, financial...

    "Patience" Is Not A Word In Our Vocabulary

    I know I'm late to the thread but I can't express how nervous and excited I am as well! Just applied to my school's ADN program and I should find out in late June or early July. Congrats to you lovely...

    Finals Week

    Have your professors provided any study guides for the finals? If so, then that's exactly where I'd start. I'll also say that organizing the necessary information with Quizlet helped me pass all my...

    Intro to Speech or Public Speaking workload

    Most of the time, it is easy. For me, it wasn't, but I think that is not the norm. My teacher was a very tough grader and had very high expectations for his students' speeches. However, as long as I...

    Online pre-nursing courses?

    You definitely can't do all of your pre-reqs online. I took Bio, A&P I, A&P II, and Micro with required lab classes. However, I was able to take English, Humanities, and College Algebra...

    Finally Done With Pre-Reqs!

    Congratulations! As a student who also JUST completed my prereqs, I completely understand the immense feeling of relief! I just applied to my school's ADN program for the fall and will find out...

    NOt liking where this is headed

    I would do research about the requirements of all nursing schools in my area. Do the absolutely best you can in your courses (duh, of course you will) and apply even if you're not certain about...

    Need some help with learning how to memorize.

    Quizlet has been a godsend for me. I know you mentioned that you're not great with flashcards, but Quizlet has a few other "games" to help you memorize and match terms. It's got several memorization...

    College Algebra

    I was required to take College Algebra as a pre-req for the ADN program I have just applied to. In my opinion, (although take this with a grain of salt because I'm not yet a nurse) I don't think it...
  24. Good luck in your interview!
  25. Absolutely, great for terminology as well, you're right! They require us to learn around 700 terms (ailments/diseases, names for lab tests, and drugs, including what those drugs are for) so I'm hoping...
