   annabellarose77 replied to annabellarose77's topic in General Students

   Thanks everyone for your responses. NICU guy, it's not that I feel I will need lots of extra one on one time. I just want to know that if I need additional time in the skills lab, or help from one of my instructors, it will be available. I've never b...

   I'm in the application process for BSN programs and I'd like to ask current students about their experiences in large classes. I'm really interested in an accelerated program that is small and every student is able to get individual attention and hel...

   Thanks everyone for your honest responses. I've struggled with my decision especially because at 41, I want to make the best decision possible. I know in my heart nursing is what I'm suppose to do. I've tried to think of different options like Lab an...

5. How do you feel about the role of a Nurse currently?

   annabellarose77 replied to annabellarose77's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for your honest response and it does help. I really do love interacting with patients, well most of them, but if Nursing has become more about numbers, paperwork, and administrative BS, I'm not sure it's worth it for me. I haven't committed my...

   I know this may be a sensitive topic, but I'm asking because I need to start sending applications to Nursing programs, and I'm having second thoughts about my career choices. I was a CNA for almost 10 years and I worked in LTC and on a Med-Surg floor...

8. Need Advice in Deciding between LPN or RN

   annabellarose77 replied to annabellarose77's topic in General Students

   That's about the cost of the private school I'm looking into. My current job is in medical billing, and it's days only. I've thought about going back and re-taking a CNA course, as I stupidly let it expire, but not sure it's worth it. After the first...

   Thanks AspiringNurseMW, I really need to check into that. I know they require you to take the Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam. It is a private school, and people have told me it is easier to get in because their tuition is higher and they accept more st...

    annabellarose77 replied to annabellarose77's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your response. I'm not sure if my school does that, but it is definitely worth looking into. Does your ADN program require you to take A&P/Micro even though you completed the LPN program? Thanks.
