  1. Where to start?

    For a slightly different perspective, I'd suggest identifying some good BSN programs within your reach (geographic if it matters; financial) and make an appointment to talk with an admissions...

  3. ADN then RN-BSN or BSN?

    nurseprnRN replied to Majoraty's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice is always to get the BSN as fast and as directly as possible. This is largely because life happens, so you might intend to gt the BSN later but if you can't, then ... It is also because in...

    nurseprnRN replied to ilovern2b's topic in General Students

    The answer is to be found in your pharmacology book. If you don't understand it, come ask us to help you understand! But do tell us what you found out first. Hint: remember your Sesame Street songs:...

    nurseprnRN replied to M0808's topic in General Students

    Most orgs that take volunteers as nurses (not non-nurses), like MSF, the Red Cross, and most nonprofit or religious relief agencies, want people who can hit the ground running with nursing skills...

    nurseprnRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Not my birthday, my dear mate's, but he doesn't like the cake and I hate to see it go to waste. Waist? Thanks.

  9. (8/29) This week, I have learned......

    nurseprnRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that someone I always liked and respected, although we have had our disagreements, has been lying to me. And about me. I learned that sending three pieces of furniture halfway across...

  11. Advice for non-nursing student with low G.P.A

    nurseprnRN replied to gottagetouttahere93's topic in General Students

    Agree c KatieMI. I ought to have specified I meant an RN program, i.e., ADN or BSN, not LPN, when I said regardless of level, for the reasons she notes-- lousy job prospects for LPNs these

  12. High Cardiac Output State--Examples?

    nurseprnRN replied to jena5111's topic in General Students

    Once again, I am so happy to see a student excited by an opportunity. So many posters here talk about terror, fear, and freaking out without seeing how limiting that kind of self-talk is. Go, you!...

  13. Advice for non-nursing student with low G.P.A

    nurseprnRN replied to gottagetouttahere93's topic in General Students

    Please take this as helpful, because that's how I mean it: Consider remedial work in English. Your writing, grammar, and spelling will hold you back in whatever you do, including applications. At at...

  14. Where to apply?

    nurseprnRN replied to AlexaN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll think this is nuts, but it isn't. Speak to the nursing admissions people. Your chances of admission may be better than you think, or you may have time to improve them, and they will have...

  15. Is there a test to determine which area of nursing you are best for?

    nurseprnRN replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say this predicted nothing like what I love(d) and do (did). I vote for the answer that says, "Life." You can't predict what will come up and grab your attention. I had no idea what...

  18. How legit is the CNA program offered by American Red Cross?

    nurseprnRN replied to Penneelyo's topic in General Students

    Oh, my lord in heaven. I needed that. Thanks for the chuckle. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:It actually sounds like...

  19. Taking the NCLEX multiple times

    nurseprnRN replied to cambrose's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Fallacy here. If more than 80% of first-time takers pass their licensure for beginning, entry-into-practice competency (which they do), "going in blind" doesn't seem to be an issue. Besides, is there...

  20. Realized floor nursing isn't for me, anything else i can do with a bsn?

    nurseprnRN replied to enchantedlife's topic in General Students

    You have to have nursing skills to be able to do this job. This and case mgmt are not jobs for rookies. Nobody will hire new grads with no clinical judgment for

    Your adviser is right. Tech college ADN + online BSN = circular file for a lot of HR

  23. HELP ME!!

    nurseprnRN replied to wheath98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is a fallacy that ADN-and-work-and take-BSN-later is better, although many kids are seduced by the idea of a paycheck early on. Why? Because when you take an associate's degree in, say, English,...

  25. Why do you think nurses leave the profession?

    nurseprnRN replied to Nacki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    There's another way to look at this. A number of smart people leave bedside nursing for careers where they could be nurses, but can have far greater control over their lives and don't need to kill...
