I have considered becoming a CNA at one time, but since I'm already on the track to begin clinicals next summer, I don't really see the point of it. (I am traditional BSN-RN) Are there any previous or current nursing students who did not start off in...

Yes this really helped, thank you so much!! I will definitely take your input into consideration.

I am aware of what an LPN is... I asked the question because I actually know of a few LPNs who are not REGISTERED nurses and are currently in school to obtain their BSN... I understand the difference with BSN and LPN, respectfully, so my question was...

Hello, I have been trying for a while to get a job at a hospital, even as a cafeteria cashier or food transporter to patients, just to have a background. I am not a CNA or have any certifications in the field yet and sometimes it makes me feel anno...

Very true... I had all of my introductory nursing courses with CNAs and others who are already working with patients in the field who complained the most about what was being taught vs what they do at work everyday.

That's wonderful! I wish you all of the good luck and thank you for your input. I will take it into consideration. :)

Oh yes, that question was for you Simplistic. I was pre-nursing with a few CNAs that were already familiar with everything and it would kinda make me feel a little discouraged... just a little bit. My question is just how did you adjust to your sched...

Are you currently in nursing school? I would really like to hear more experiences from you!

I know most community colleges require that you have your CNA certification, and I was told that most hospitals will help student nurses who does not have their CNA to obtain it while they're going through clinical, which is what I may consider if th...

Hey cek35, 1. Are the courses that you are referring to college accredited or AP courses? Because in all honesty, unless that is the case, your high school grades and ACT/SAT scores will not count against you after you apply to college and actually g...

Hey briannad, It is ultimately up to you obviously, but I am glad that you are asking yourself this question because some people will just go into the medical field for all of the wrong reasons. You did mention the options that you are aware of, whic...

I was literally confused and about to google this BSN in Accounting. It doesn't even make sense lol

Oh and also to answer your third point about my studying habits, I do seem to get easily distracted at times. My boyfriend and I are both studying in the science field, so we both understand the severity of the work, but while I'm studying, for examp...

Hello, Is there anyone that has been through or currently may have any advice on balancing life between clinical, classes, relationships, meals, etc.? I am expected to begin my cohort next Summer and I still sort of feel like I am lacking with my t...

Wonderful advice. Thank you so very much. I will take note of this.

I"m almost afraid to ask if you are really a student nurse or a RN assisting patients... to say that it's fine because of your high GPA isn't always the end result of being a great nurse. There are "C" nurses that are much more experienced and dedica...

Hi KariT, I'll have to give you some tough love here, but before I do, do not ever feel ashamed of yourself. You should just sit back and think if being in the medical field is truly what you can see yourself loving and doing. It is extremely importa...

No problem! I know exactly what it's like to feel defeated. I was literally feeling the same this past Spring semester every time I would score less than 85%, but I managed to get through it. There were days I cried and even questioned my purpose as ...

It is not a bad start, honestly. It's just a lesson learned. There is no perfect one-way street to becoming a nurse. You are not the only one who may feel defeated because of one disappointing grade. Always remember to study smart, not hard. Best wis...
