  1. I have a dilemma

    beekee replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not necessarily true! I had a 2.6 in college before entering nursing school. I am now one semester from finishing my ADN with a 4.0 (nursing courses and all prerequisites). Cumulative GPA is...

  3. is nursing a life science degree?

    beekee replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I'd guess that they would deem you overqualified with a BSN. It can't hurt to apply, so if the position interests you, go for it. However, you might want to consider explaining why you want this...

    beekee replied to cjsiege's topic in General Students

    If you take out $150,000 in loans, you are looking at a loan repayment of $1,700 per month for ten years. If you are disabled and can't work, can't find a job, or flunk out (no one ever expects to,...

  8. Potential Nursing student in the dark

    beekee replied to Sweetcinna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think OP is trying to find an online pre-licensure program. If that's the case, you won't have any luck in Georgia or any other state. You can train to become a nurse by several methods: diploma,...

  9. Pre-requisites and Applications

    beekee replied to Levitsa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the prerequisites, check to see if the courses transfer from one to another. A&P at one school may not satisfy the A&P requirement at another school. Also, some of the prerequisites for...

  10. Picking a minor

    beekee replied to msannaa's topic in General Students

    No one cares about minors. I wouldn't bother, unless you have the interest, time and money. And by interest, I don't mean interest to help get a job (because it won't help). I mean interest as in...

  11. Tips on Nursing School

    beekee replied to bdarden07's topic in General Students

    While taking the prerequisite courses, working full time isn't too bad. Once you hit the actual nursing courses, it gets much harder. In my first semester, most tried to keep working full time. By...

  12. I can take my boards, but will anyone hire me?

    beekee replied to gethealthy2's topic in General Nursing

    If you explain it like you did here, I envision you'd get hired. You didn't mention why you let it lapse or what you did for the first ten years, but it doesn't matter. You can just say something like...

  13. Does this sound too hard

    beekee replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Is this your first semester of nursing classes? If so, I'm going to advise against it. The time I spent taking 12 credits in nursing school was way, way, way more than 12 credits of other

  14. Failed A Course...

    beekee replied to Kyliemb's topic in General Students

    I also have no prior healthcare experience. Our labs consist of a lot of lecture and very little time to practice. In clinical, we aren't allowed to do much and the stuff we can do, the instructor has...

  15. Am I covered for malpractice under my personal lines homeowners' policy?

    beekee replied to RiskManager's topic in General Nursing

    To that end, I'd suggest anyone who travels between work sites during the work day or otherwise uses their personal car for work purposes inquire if their auto insurance covers you. It probably...

  16. What kind of job can I get with an ADN but no license?

    beekee replied to LM2015's topic in General Nursing

    Right now, you need to get back on your feet. Once you have some stability, try the NCLEX again. I'd look for a live-in nanny position. I've known plenty of nannies that brought their kids to the...

  18. Does anyone know any good BSN or RN-BSN programs in Illinois?

    beekee replied to kariace's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are plenty of nursing schools in Illinois. You might want to narrow your question. Are you in Chicago? Springfield? Peoria? Even then, you have choices. A list of programs and NCLEX pass rates...

  19. Failing a&p this summer. Bad GPA. What now?

    beekee replied to ilikecorgis's topic in General Students

    I hate to be a downer, but usually only students who are at the top of the class in the prerequisites move on to nursing school. Even though those students have fantastic GPAs, excellent study habits...

  21. Working as a Per Diem CNA to get experience?

    beekee replied to Bookworm85's topic in Maryland Nursing

    If your regular job is one of those M-F jobs, I'm sure you can get a part-time job on the weekend. Just tell them when you want to work and see if they will work with your

  22. What ABSN/ELMSN programs in the US accept low GPA with good related work experience?

    beekee replied to msnikkidoo's topic in General Students

    Here's the thing: when it comes to GPA for admission to an educational program, no one cares how hard your major was. If the minimum requirement is 3.0, they throw out your application if you don't...
