  1. What was nursing school like for you?

    Wow that is very informative. I actually start nursing school in the spring and the only thing that comes to mind when I think about it is clinicals and med/surg. I don't really think too much on the work aspect but I am sorta like you too, I believe...
  2. To intern or not to intern

    I say you should definitely do it! Especially, if you want to get you foot in the door for future employment and be able to work in your specialty of your choosing as quickly as you can. So just because it's at a LTC facility and is an unpaid interns...
  3. HESI heeelllpp!

    Because you have 4-5 months to study thenyou basically can now give your yourself up to 5 hours weekly of studying time. No more and no less because cramming more info into your head is not going to help you retain it better and not studying enough w...
  4. does high school matter?

    Make sure you put everything you got into your ACT/SAT. The CC may not care about it but if you school is anything like mine where your ACT/SAT scores determine the classes you are placed into and what classes you can take ( which are a lot of restri...
  5. How to register for the Hesi?

    So I plan on attending an institution next spring and the school requires for me to take the Hesi. But it's all the way in Massachusetts while I live in Chicago. So how am I suppose to take the test if I will not be going to MA until next spring (pas...
  6. HESI heeelllpp!

    When is your next exam? How long are you allowing yourself to study weekly? Im also sorry to say that I really don't got anything for you because my school only requires the Kaplan. So that's the only thing I study for. But I do have some tips for yo...
  7. What is your working schedule like? Are you able to work part-time (weekends and evenings)? Also if you have a seven year old see if you could arrange your school schedule around his/her; as goes the same for the one year old (if the baby is in dayca...
  8. How to register for the Hesi?

    Ooh okay. Will I have to link my hesi to the account as well? Or does it do that on it's on?
  9. How to register for the Hesi?

    Okay so I have to make an Elsevier account before I take any Hesi exam?
  10. Help with writing

    This is so true. Before I started practicing my writing two years ago my grammer skills were horrible. But I did not work on my grammar skills to please others, I did that all for myself because I initially wanted to be a writer instead of a nurse. S...
  11. New grad starting salary?

    I'm just a pre-nursing student here in Chicago so I don't really have anything to add but I was wondering have you tried Rush's new grad residency program?
  12. Cheating on the nclex??

    You seem to be very cinical and prejudice about the whole situation... Just because someone has a different background and culture doesn't mean they can't have the same resources or education as you. I mean you act like these people just climbed out ...
  13. Help! Travel nursing or fulfill a contract?!

    Honestly, if you are miserable and is dead set on leaving quickly then pay the 7,000 now before the numbers go up and your employers keep wasting time on you. Plus, you seem to think your marriage is an inconvenience to your traveling and if you don'...
  14. Hello all, I was wondering what would be the better option between becoming a Phlebotomy Technician or CNA? Which career option would increase my chances of getting hired as a new grad RN? I plan on working summers as either when on break from nursin...
  15. Nurse Corps Scholarship Program?

    Thank you for your response and yes you are right I should look into more inexpensive schools.
  16. Hi! I'm currently a new HS grad and a pre-nursing student at my local CC this summer and I will be transferring into a BSN program next summer (I can not wait). However, I just found out about this NCS program, recommend by my A&P teacher. I tol...
  17. I can take my boards, but will anyone hire me?

    When you do ever get an interview let them know why you have been out of work for the past five years because you actually do have a good reason. I too know the struggle since my dad is permanently disabled from spinal cord injuries and my mother and...
  18. Finally going for my RN

    Congratulations on your journey! I am too a prep nursing student and going for my RN.
  19. Honestly, if you want to go the quicker route I say to just become a LPN/LVN because you can be that just in a year or fewer. Then when that's all done do a bridge program. I personally would not spend that much money for PTC program or waste 7 long ...
