  1. Nurse Practitioner vs Physicians Assistant

    Chesterton1 replied to _iamkel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Because it isn't plural, it's just Physician Assistant and believe me PA's will fight tooth and nail about that

  2. Nurse Practitioner vs Physicians Assistant

    Chesterton1 replied to _iamkel's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just remember, if you choose to be a PA make sure to never call it physicians assistant, lots of pa schools would chuck your application for that however I think you are better set up for the NP (tho...

  3. It is official

    Chesterton1 replied to Chesterton1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kinda bummed that I didn't get the Pell Grant this time but at least I qualified for a good sized student loan (I have never taken out a student loan before) so that should all be set inn the next...

  4. Your opinion on degrees.

    Chesterton1 replied to Kaitybar7's topic in General Nursing

    Huh, I never thought of

  5. Is nursing for me? (I cannot stand bad odors)

    Chesterton1 replied to dallydee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That honestly doesn't sound like a strong enough reason to switch majors, and I honestly think you will grow used to the bad smells for the most

  6. Micro and A&P

    Chesterton1 replied to stacylethani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have had an anxiety disorder most of my life, and I have never considered it to be a learning disability which is why I was confused, but fair

  7. Internship or Shadowing?

    Chesterton1 replied to meganec17's topic in General Nursing

    In regards to shadowing you just have to call the local hospitals and doctors office and just ask, methinks you could see if your school of nursing could set up an internship, but I kinda get the vibe...

  8. Whats an ASN program all about?

    Chesterton1 replied to Cronin's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well when I look at the program that I am personally hoping to attend it seems like the medical stuff is almost 75% of the stuff, so long as I'm counting the clinicals, without the clinical stuff it...

  9. pvt

    Chesterton1 replied to mrfredtb1977's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think most people will just tell you to wait to hear about the results officially, especially since the PVT won't change the outcome. You either passed or you

  10. Whats an ASN program all about?

    Chesterton1 replied to Cronin's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    sounds to me like they are asking specifically how much of it focused on the actual care if the

  11. Micro and A&P

    Chesterton1 replied to stacylethani's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would you go to the learning disability office for a panic

  12. Your opinion on degrees.

    Chesterton1 replied to Kaitybar7's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a fan of going the ADN route, but like others have said it can also depend on your situation. There is only one College in my area that actually has a brick and mortar BSN program. I'm going to...

  13. Sadly, discrmination against male nurses still rampant in job applic process

    Chesterton1 replied to Ecstatic2014's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Isn't there also the option to apply to LTC facilities? at least so you can get your foot in the door? Right now I'm only a pre-nursing student but I know that hospital isn't going to be my only...

  14. Union Representative (humor)

    Chesterton1 replied to No Stars In My Eyes's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    My Great Grandpa owned his own small trucking company and Teamsters beat him up, so he spent the rest of his life with a gun strapped to his

  15. It is official

    Chesterton1 replied to Chesterton1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks peeps! If everything goes well I will be finished with my prerequisites by the end of the 2016 spring semester, and will hopefully be in nursing school by the 2016 fall semester at VTC (Vermont...

  16. Doctor Anyone?

    Chesterton1 replied to Ant24's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I mulled the idea around my head for a total of one whole day! In the end my desire it to become a NP but I am unsure of what specialty at this moment. My plan of action is to get my ADN, pay off...

  17. Are you encouraging other XYs to pursue nursing?

    Chesterton1 replied to Zyrv's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I personally don't see any careers (except maybe military) that I really deem so important that I feel the need to sort of "proselytize" for its sake, however in answer to your question I am not a...

  18. What is the best computer to have for school?

    Chesterton1 replied to bamwife06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I was to purchase a laptop for school I would go with a Chromebook to be honest. The things are cheap and they are pretty much exclusively meant to be used for internet and documents and

  19. What kind of CNA are you?

    Chesterton1 replied to Chesterton1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If I become a LNA I will most likely be starting out in LTC myself, but would probably then try to get into the Hospital..........I could try to get into the local Doctors office but the pay is way...

  20. LNA Class

    Chesterton1 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi guys, I'm very interested in becoming a nurse and I really want to be able to work as a LNA while I get my nursing school stuff rolling so here is where my question starts. My mother has worked for...

  21. grey's Anatomy petition

    Chesterton1 replied to XXXX5's topic in General Nursing

    My mom has been going through the show recently and I haven't hated what I occasionally sit down to watch. Now a show I really loved but was cancelled after the first season because it was so dang...

  23. Medically Independent?

    Chesterton1 replied to Chesterton1's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! things seem to have gone sour. I would first like to apologize, I honestly meant no disrespect and I could probably have worded my question better. I wasn't saying that nurses do not have...

  24. Medically Independent?

    Chesterton1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was reading through some recent threads and a topic that seemed to come up often was a disdain for the fact that nursing does not actually contain much "figuring out" of medical situations but was...

  25. Anxiety Disorder?

    Chesterton1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    first I would like to apologize this isn't in the right forum. I took a good while considering if this should go into the stress management area, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to...
