    Please help me understand!!!

    The best thing you can do is talk to an advisor at your school. They can tell you what kind of GPA normally gets accepted to your nursing

    Intro to A&P before A&P1?

    Hey there. My school did not offer an Intro to A&P, so I just went straight into it (although I did take biology first). I think it was a great class. Very information-heavy, but frankly, nursing...

    Opinions on nursing students?

    I'm only finishing my second semester of nursing school, so I am not yet an RN. I think the best thing we can do as students is to remember to empathize with our nurses. They are doing US a favor by...

    Night shift for new grads.

    Not a nurse yet, but I am a medical scribe who works the night shift in the ED. Honestly, night shift has been a struggle, mainly because I'm also a nursing student that obviously goes to school...

    Which Littmann stethoscope is best?

    I use a Cardiology III (nursing school gift from my parents) and it's awesome to work with. Sounds clear as a

    Low GPA, Regis ABSN?

    I'm very sorry about your accident, it must have been an incredibly traumatic experience and I admire your desire to move on and make something wonderful of your life. However, most schools I know...

    LVN to BSN

    Personally, I think all these private, for-profit schools (West Coast, Keiser, Chamberlain, Phoenix) are just a big scam. They charge you exorbitant prices for a sub-par nursing program. Hospitals in...

    BS in psychology and pursuing ADN

    I work at a Magnet Hospital (Gold standard for nursing) that hires lots of ADN grads. They are required to get their BSN within a few years, but it's definitely not a

    Working while in school

    I am currently in an ADN program and I work weekend night shifts as a medical scribe in the ER. It's taken a toll on me for sure. Sometimes I don't have the time to sleep in between work and school so...

    Tattoos and nursing

    Lots of hospitals around here happen to have a religious affiliation and will have an anti-tattoo policy, and my classmates with tattoos have to wear some sort of covering during clinicals. The...

    LPN jobs in L&D??

    Currently living in North Florida. Sorry, none of the hospitals around here hire LPN's, no matter the unit. LPN's are usually in long term care facilities around

    Should I continue to be a Nurse?

    Definitely get a math tutor. The dosage calc math has not been incredibly difficult for some, but there are students who will fail because of it. My program has a policy where if you don't pass the...

    What is a good attrition rate for nursing school.

    Personally, I think the NCLEX pass rate is more important than the attrition rate. A really good NCLEX pass rate is 95-100%. If a school consistently is making below 80%, they will go on probation and...

    Working while in school?

    Many of my classmates work. I work the night shift in the ER as a medical scribe. It makes me really tired and I don't have as much time to study as my classmates do, but I'm currently pulling an 89...

    Thinking of dropping Nursing school and doing Pre-Med

    NP's use the nursing model, and also integrate some elements of the medical model. They render medical diagnoses, prescribe medication (including controlled substances in some states) and must include...

    ok nurse's trade school or communty college?????

    Actually that really depends. Around here the ADN programs have better reputations than the for-profit BSN programs. I work for a magnet hospital that accepts ADN grads who make a commitment to earn...

    Why don't nurses bond?

    Microbiology online at New Mexico Junior College

    Do you have a lab component to that class that you need to come in for? Just a heads up, most nursing programs will not accept a Microbiology course without a lab that you need to be there in person...

    Daytona State College RN Program Fall 2016??

    I'm a student in DSC's RN program. I started this fall. I think your GPA and TEAS score really are fine to get in. The lowest they accepted in my application cycle was a 3.19, I believe. I got in with...

    I took A&P II, Microbiology, English II, Oral Communication, and Theatre Appreciation at the same time. I ended up making straight A's. I think it's very doable if you focus and work
