Hi! Thanks for reading this! So right now I am a student in an accelerated nursing program and I decided to quit my job as a medical technologist because it is just too much. I was working midnights and never had time to get any sleep. I quit right b...

Hey All! I started nursing school 5 weeks ago and we are already having our final exams next week for Health Assessment and Professional Role of the Nurse. This will be our 4th and final test and most of our grade is based on this. On the past 6 test...

Hey, Those of you out there who have gone through an Accelerated/2nd Degree BSN program: How did you get loans and what are the best places to go through? I heard that it's impossible or very difficult to get FAFSA loans or any type of government l...

So I am a medical technologist right now and I have $35,000 in student loan debt. I am planning on going to an Accelerated BSN program that will run me about another $45,000 in debt. Nursing was my original major but I changed it because I didn't get...

How did you guys choose what type of nursing you wanted to go into? Did you figure it out while you were in nursing school, or did you just specialize in whatever you took your first job in? Is it difficult landing a first job as a nurse? I have so m...

Are any of you guys worried about how easy it is to get an online MSN with an FNP concentration and how that will affect future jobs? I have heard several docs say they don't trust NP's nearly as much as they trust PA's, they just have more respect f...

Micro was my favorite course!!! If you ever need any help, let me know! Also, I'm pretty sure you can take it online.

I didn't get into nursing because I had narcolepsy, undiagnosed. So once I graduated college and found out, I couldn't stop thinking about becoming a nurse. Working in the hospital and not being able to be a nurse is the worst. All the other techs I ...

I guess you just never know what specialty you are going to fall in love with!

I guess that's not what I mean. Earning an MSN just seems like it would be easier to do now that you don't have to go to campus, so it's available to more people. Which is a good thing. I guess I am asking about job competition because it seems like ...

What do you guys think of online NP programs? Do you think they are well received by employers?

Is it more difficult to get into some specialties rather and others? I always thought I would love to work in Labor and Delivery and eventually become a Women's Health NP or work in ER. I know those are both very different, but those are where my min...

You can change the repayment time, it will just obviously cause you to pay more over the life of your loan. 10 years is standard, but you can make it 20 or 30 years if you choose so that the payments are lower but then you are stuck in it for that lo...

My boyfriend is an ER physician and does not want me to become an NP. I think it's a little crazy and judgement all of him to not think NP would do just as good of a job

Really?

Narcolepsy does not cause you to fall asleep mid sentence.

Thank you for this, I really enjoyed reading it. I hope I won't end up to be this type of nurse.

Do the online programs require clinicals as well? I am a really good online learner and I think I would do better with an online program, but I'm not sure how it would be received by prospective employers.

I think it depends on what else is going on in your life --- only you know what you can handle. You can always try it for awhile and then quit if it becomes too much, depending on what the job is. I plan on working part time during my ABSN program, d...

My Narcolepsy is now under control, which is why I am trying again. I hadn't been diagnosed when I first applied to nursing school at 19, so I had no idea why I was SO tired and foggy all the time. I changed my major to Clinical Laboratory Science an...

Okay so my original college major was nursing. I changed it to Clinical Laboratory Science because I didn't get into the nursing program. I then graduated and now work in a blood bank at a hospital lab. The problem is I really wish I worked with pati...

What gpas did you have when you got Accepted?

Hey! I am a lab tech too. I work in blood bank and want to go back for nursing. Any advice?
