  1. I have a non scientific bachelors, so what would be the least competitive program to get into? 1. Tradition 2 year 2. ABSN 3. Direct Entry
  2. Independant Travel Nurse Pay

    Just wondering what the billing rates are if you are going out on your own instead of using an agency. Also, do you charge the hospital for housing IN ADDITION to your hourly pay or should you factor that into the hourly rate?
  3. Why are some people on here so rude?

    I'm a pre nursing student and I asked like 7 questions and people have been on my back. Now what is the point of that? I even asked a question about being depressed and being in school and someone told me to quit complaining (we're going to assume t...
  4. Why are some people on here so rude?

    You guys!!! I got in!!!
  5. The average starting salary of a RN is 26.50. Travel nurses is $ 40-45. But when you factor in travel cost to the destination, gas, having to keep paying on your apartment lease of where you left etc, is it actually more money in your pocket?
  6. Being depressed

    So I'm about to get done with my application and I'm starting to get really depressed. 2 years seems like such a long time!!! BTW I already have a BA And it took me forever to get. I just feel like life keeps hitting the restart button on me
  7. No this is not my reason for entering. Just a curious question. And if so... Do tell.
  8. Being depressed

    My degree is in a non scientific field. Plus my credits are old so I had to retake everything including a placement test for math. I don't care if you don't care about me. If that's the most important information you have to relay then stop posting o...
  9. Being depressed

    I have had a very hard life. If I had family/friends that could help me I would be asking them and not a public forum. I will continue asking, I will continue to aspire to be more than I am today, hence my screen name "Upward_Bound". And to address y...
  10. Being depressed

    Hey ElkPark, I'm going to take the prereqs while I'm in nursing school. It's really the chem1, chem2, orgo and calc based physics that's holding me back at the time. So the prereq's would take me a year and half, and nursing school would take 2.
  11. Being depressed

    Everyday I wake up just feels like a waiting game. I'm an adult but feel like I'm still waiting for m y relationship situation to work out, and to get an adult job. And when I start nursing school, its daytime, so what decent part time job can i get...
  12. Why are you a nurse and not a doctor?

    So I'm thinking of jumping ship. Either now or 2 years from now. For the MD's who started as RN's what is your experience?
  13. Well you too must be pretty. I never get asked for anything lol (j/k)
  14. You must be really pretty, I never meet men anywhere.
  15. Why are you a nurse and not a doctor?

    Thanks for asking. My undergrad GPA was not good. But my current GPA is very good. Guess I just didnt know what I had in me until I started researching and trying really hard.
  16. Nurse Anesthesia school overseas?

    Has anyone ever heard of a nursing anesthesia program overseas that you can work in the US with?
  17. From C to B student in 1 test!!!!

    I amso SO SO SOOOO happy because I was able to raise my grade from 1 test!!! (both in anat and physiology) But I am also SOOO scared. It took like 20 plus hours a week on anatomy/p alone. Is nursing school harder than pre-nursing???
  18. Pre-Nursing or Pre-Med

    Seems like we get most of the courses done anyway +2 Chemistries +1-2 Physics +2-5 Maths (College Algebra to Calc 2) +20+ Electives
  19. I was wondering if anyone knows of any schools that offer Direct Entry will lower required GPA or least prerequisites.
  20. RN vs BSN, is a BSN really worth it?

    Thru research on the internet the average salary of an RN 66,000 is a BSN 69000. So is it really worth getting a BSN? I have a non science BA now, and I'm contemplating between getting a 2 year RN or an ABSN. The ABSN would have me jump through more ...
  21. Lecture consists of; the teacher talking about the weather for a bit, then tells us what pages we have to memorize, then we leave. Seriously. I got a D on the first exam. We had to memorize about 40 pages bones of -The skull (anterior, posterior, lat...
  22. 1. I don't have a family. (other than one who depends on me) 2. I tried this forum but people have been mean to me 3. I moved and don't know anyone here Where do you guys go to find support when things get rough? And thank the (few) of you girls so m...
  23. I came to class late. Did my work. But my teacher gave the group grade perfect, but me a 0. Is this within a teachers reach to do so? I e-mailed him and he said that I didn't contribute to the group.
  24. P.S I am no longer acknowledging personal attack style comments.
  25. Is there a cap on how much loans you can take out once you have a bachelors degree and decide to go back for your ASD or aBSN. Someone told me 35k is the most you can take, but how will I get into a private school that charges 40 k a year if that's t...
