  2. Getting into nursing school

    I have never heard of a program looking down on those who don't take prerequisites at a university. If they transfer to the school you're interested in going to, why the heck would it matter? I would...
  3. Psychiatrist Overdosing Pts??

    Maybe pharmacy just happens to overlook this? Maybe try calling them the next time you work and let them know your
  4. Milk & Schizophrenia

    I can attest to antipsychotics and increased hunger. When I first started Seroquel, I was so hungry to the point where I would eat so much that I felt like I was going to vomit yet I was still hungry....
  5. Moving for Nursing School

    I would consider an Associate's degree program. As a second degree student myself, I used up most of my financial aid, so an ASN was the only way I could go for a nursing degree without going for...
  6. Paths to becoming a crna

    Depending on your area, you may find it hard to get into a hospital gig with an associate's degree. This is pretty regionally specific. I have heard of new grads going straight into the ICU, but some...
  7. Wheelchair/lift cleaning

    LOL!!!
  8. What to do with combative residents?

    bump....
  9. Dilemma: choosing between ADN vs ABSN

    The problem with this reasoning is that many programs either outright require nursing experience or it makes you a more competitive applicant. Even if neither of those are true, to be a good...
  10. Nurses forced to stop med pass

    It sounds like you and the other nurses need to get together and tell them "no." If they are having trouble passing food and feeding people, they clearly need more
  11. new job.....risking my certification?

    This doesn't answer a lot of your questions, but if there is no place for you to chart that the facility will store, you need to get your own notebook and keep your own records. The whole point of...
  12. Help please

    This is possible, but you're going to have to pick one to work as primarily and one to work as as a side job. Teaching is a very different schedule than working as a nurse. Unless you want to...
  13. Dilemma: choosing between ADN vs ABSN

    To me, this is a no brainer. For an extra six months in time you can save $62,000 (minus the cost of a bridge program)? While you could get to work sooner with the ABSN, you're only looking at an...
  14. A&P in making my life hell

    To me it seems like you are either having a problem of thinking you know stuff when you really don't (and therefore not studying certain things enough), you are not syncing well with what the...
  15. RN first then MSN?

    It probably won't matter if you go straight from an associate's degree to a Master's program, provided you have a good amount of experience as a
  16. A&P online?

    My college, Saint Petersburg College, offers A&P 1 and 2 with completely online
  17. Biology pre-requisites

    Find out what the school's prerequisite courses are? You're better off starting by asking the school or doing some research about the

  19. Best Path to RN for me?

    I'm definitely planning on bridging to BSN and then going for an MSN
  20. Best Path to RN for me?

    It really comes down to what is more important for you, the time or the money. For me, as a second degree seeking student with the majority of my federal loans used, money was more important for me so...
  21. If you're not able to pay for a BSN, why not go the ADN route? You may end up working LTC until you can bridge for your BSN, but you will be making money while bridging and you will pay a lot less for...
  22. Competitve GPA?

    It really depends on the school. Some places you can get in with a 3.5. Others you can have a 3.8 and still not get in. Ask the schools about the average accepted applicant's
  23. Lowest-cost online science pre-reqs?

    StraighterLine, but my college wouldn't accept the grades from them. If I had transferred credit from straighterline, it would have transferred as a C, so I had to take the class locally. But if your...

  25. Hello AN, I had a question about jobs that are best for preparing someone for an NP program and later practice as an NP. I've heard a lot of people say that the ED or ICU are good experience for...
