  5. Online BSN or On Campus BSN Program

    I believe you can only get your BSN online if you have your RN license (after completing an ADN program). So the only way to get from LVN to BSN is on campus. You could do LVN to RN then to
  6. UTHSC Traditional BSN Fall 2016 Applicants

  8. Nursing is my passion but I feel like I am too dumb.

    Maybe your prof doesn't help with your learning style? A&P is solely memorization. If you can still drop without penalty on your GPA, I would do that & take a different prof. I personally...

  12. Best BSN fast track degree ?

  13. Looking For The Right School

    Hello! You can go to Texas BON's website and look up approved programs & their NCLEX passing rates. If you're in the Houston area, I would say UTH (Little bias). There's also UTMB, TWU &...

  17. Another note, as I said you have to pick your specialty for NP. Another career option would be a Physician Assistant, you wouldn't have to pick a specialty & if you got into a field that you ended...
  18. I'm not sure where you live but in my area, schools require you have 1-2 year experience in that field. For example, if you wanted to be an acute care nurse practitioner, you will need experience as a...
  19. I really want to be a nurse but..

    High school and college are way different. I didn't care in hs but studied hard in college since I knew I wanted to be a nurse. I knew I had to keep my GPA as high as possible. So you don't have to...

  24. Nursing shortage

    I live in Houston, tx and I wouldn't say there's a shortage but yes there's a HUGE need and will always be a need because people are always getting sick. If you go to any Texas Mexical Center...
