  6. Get my adn or lpn? Newbie here

    8130 replied to AutumnFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN hands down. Do an RN to bsn later if needed or desired. The market just doesn't demand LPNs these days. They work just as hard and are paid little when

  7. If you feel sick the nurse will call me and you can go home

    8130 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Mr Nurse I can definitely empathize with your standpoint. Some of that sounds like abuse of the system. We've never pulled our kids out for non illnesses. The big thing we appreciate is being able to...

  8. If you feel sick the nurse will call me and you can go home

    8130 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Do you all work in public schools? My kids go to private school and they value the parents as the primary decision makers. They play a supportive role but always defer to the parent on matters such as...

  9. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    8130 replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

    It would be interesting to find out exactly why so many young nurses don't aspire to be a long term bedside nurse. Years ago nurses often "opted in and out" during times of childbearing and so forth....

    8130 replied to Celeste1011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too am mid thirties with a prior bachelor's! I am going for the ADN then the bsn afterwards. In my area, it will take me 1.5 years for the ADN (pre reqs are already done). It is also a fraction of...

    8130 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, does anyone know how much RN hospital experience is required to work on call/per diem? If I could I would work this way as a new grad after orientation but I am hoping some of you may know...

  12. Taking chemistry before biology

    8130 replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never took chemistry and am nearly done with anatomy and physiology 2. If you don't need to take it don't! I've gotten through with A's and can't imagine why I would have ever needed to take

  13. Am I too old to start this?

  15. Financial Aid and $165,000.00 debt

    8130 replied to Den1978's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your dream is to become a nurse, then large previous debt should not be the end of that. However I would tread carefully. Community college will be your only option and if you are able to save the...

  17. my gpa is low... b.s.n concurrent program or a.s. generic program? Seminole state college

    8130 replied to beyondbeautii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, about the gpa: is this your cumulative gpa or pre requisite gpa? One school may ask for one over the other. Be sure you know what each program is asking for. Your gpa may really only count with...

  18. my gpa is low... b.s.n concurrent program or a.s. generic program? Seminole state college

    8130 replied to beyondbeautii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's what I would do. Make a spreadsheet comparing both programs and include things like time to complete (factoring in going back to get your bsn after your ADN for that option), cost,...

  19. Will working the night shift provide more opportunity to see family on holidays?

    8130 posted a topic in General Nursing

    To all of the experienced nurses out there, There is something that absolutely petrifies me about finishing nursing school. It's the idea of missing holidays with my small children. I do understand...

    8130 replied to 8130's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for answering my post! This has been unbelievably helpful to me in formulating the true picture of what takes place. I knew nurses were the best people to ask! You are all so experienced and...

    8130 posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The new version of teas comes out this fall and that's the version I will be taking. I know no one has taken this one yet, but from your experience with prior versions, was A&P 1 sufficient to...

  23. MCTC Nursing, U of M or St. Kate's?

    8130 replied to sglim92's topic in General Nursing

    St Kate's will be expensive. They are eliminating their two year program and replacing it with an evening and weekend BSN program if that's appealing to you. They'll keep their traditional daytime BSN...

  25. Too old to go into nursing??

    8130 replied to st431's topic in General Nursing

    If this program is expensive, I would check a community college. I am so cautious about student loans! I see them crippling people financially. I have no idea what kind of money this program costs....
