They told you to wear scrubs to a interview? That just doesn't seem to be logical in any shape or form lol. You should dress businesses casual and bring along scrubs in case that is actually factual wanting students to interview in scrubs. I'm just b...

I know a girl who got her BSN, disliked it and went back to school for neurobiology.... So weird. You're like her exact opposite twin lol. Anywho... Back to your post...you more than likely have almost all the pre-req sciences to just do a BSN progr...

I took a&p, micro and chem all together. Was pretty fun actually. For us,we couldn't even take patho until a&p and micro were completed as they are pre-reqs not co-reqs for patho. So we had to finish a&p and micro before we could even ta...

Senior year in high school? Or senior year in college? Which Hesi are you inquiring about? Exit or Entrance? If it's high school, that's a bit early to be studying for the Hesi entrance exam for nursing school....I mean because you still have about...

Well said, explains precisely why he asked you about going into nursing. He's living the life of Fred Flintstone. I'm actually curious to know if he even knows what a computer is, you should ask him next time you talk to him. Individuals like this ex...

DON'T limit yourself to applying just to one program, you're going to wish you had more options and had applied to more programs at the same time to increase your odds of getting into a program. It's like going to a casino and playing roulette, you d...

My graduation goal when I finish the program was to go on a cruise with my gf, and the day after graduation, me and my gf did in fact go on a cruise and it was amazing!. Now, as far as motivation during the program....well my motivation in school was...

Write about Nurse Bullying. You can find thousands of peer-reviewed nursing articles about it, then if you do it. you can use that paper and research for your capstone project at the very end of the nursing program.

LMAO, well I sure hope you NEVER hear how much Big Rig truck drivers make.... but just for fun ill spoil it for you. Big rig truck drivers make $100+K annually, even local truck drivers such as haz mat truck drivers, like gas, oil, waste etc make abo...

Look at both of your courses syllabus, look at what book is required, then look at the publisher, if its mosby, get mosby flash cards for that book, if its Kaplan, get Kaplan cards that are for that book. At the end of the day, both are really good....

In real world? I see nurses and even physicians break sterile field all the time at the bedside, but when it comes to OR, oh you will LIVE, BREATHE, EAT, SLEEP AND DEFICATE STERILE FIELD lol. OR sterile field where breaking will not only get you thro...

Do not give up, we all went through the same thing. Myself also had tests over x amount of chapters that covered hundreds of pages. However, that's where listening and following along during lecture comes in handy. Helpful way to study for exams by ...

I got B+ in A&P 1&2 and I still got into a BSN nursing program. Don't beat yourself up over your grades. However do your best to keep your grades up. I made up for those Bs with A+s in Patho 1&2 the following semester. Ah the joy of the G...

Med techs can pass meds in LTC facilities in my state but not CNAs. Med techs can't handle schedule II-III meds too. So OP I'm curious too.

Wait.... There was a rule about consensual relationships based solely on physical contact in nursing school? Oops haha, oh well. As for me, I didn't stay in contact with any of my fellow cohort after graduation. Everyone formed cliques, talked sma...

The first thing that always comes up when i meet another male nurse is, "did you watch the game the other day?" Only female nurses ask me "why did you become a nurse" Not once ever did another make nurse ask me that lol. Myself and other male nurse...

I foresee a sexual harassment charge in your future bud...

Here in my state, all nursing programs including ADN and BSN only look at your cumulative SCIENCE GPA. Essentially, all the science pre-reqs i.e A&P, micro bio, Patho, etc. For us, they didn't care about previous work experience such as those wh...

GCU program is much better than UNMs program hands down. Not to mention floor nurses can see the difference between gcu and unm students quite easily and gcu students are prized and remembered by staff for our skills and knowledge as compared to othe...

Interesting. The only hospital in my city that has nurse residency program only take in new grads after they have their NCLEX results, as I was told by the residency coordinator "we select applicants based on their NCLEX score". Wonder why they do it...
