Future_HospiceRN

I originally was going the ABSN route as well but I am now in an LPN program here in NY as well. I’ll be getting my feet wet in nursing while making a decent living fairly quickly. It’s so competitive to get into an RN program right away.

Some rehab centers hire LVNS. You could look into that.

I have definitely seen this, working in LTC for so many years. I don't think it's true though. If anything, I think that the LPNS are more knowledgeable in my facility. I would take a knowledgeable LPN over an RN that doesn't know much anyday.

I originally took Physiology with Statistics which was a disaster for me because personally I hate math and two, I hate Chemistry, and Physiology was basically Chemistry based (reactions in the human body) type. I think that taking Anatomy and Physio 2 with a class like Nutrition or Microbio would be helpful because you'd be able to make the mental connections of how they are important/coincede

Hospice is the field of nursing I will go into after graduation!!! :)

Hey guys! I'm currently taking prereqs for accelerated bsn programs. I need a nutrition class but unsure of which one I should take.....please help!!!! 1) [h=3]BIO 115 - Human BioNutrition[/h]Description: (Formerly BIO 111 / BIO 112) Nutrition is explored as an emerging science that combines biology and chemistry into an exciting field of specialization. This course is designed to explore the physiological mechanisms of nutrient metabolism and their interactions on human cellular biology. The characteristics and functions of nutrient groups are studied in their relation to their biological requirements and proper balance. Special attention is given to the relationship between an unbalanced diet, an altered metabolism and the disease process. Also considered are the unique biological features of each of the stages of life and their effect on nutrient requirements. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Credit Hours: 4 Department: Biology 2) [h=3]BIO 209 - Nutritional Science I[/h]Prerequisites: BIO 109 and BIO 110 Description: Recommended for science majors, the course includes such topics as the digestion, absorption, and function of nutrients. Regulatory mechanisms that influence the requirements and metabolism of nutrients are considered. 3) [h=3]NTR 198 - Nutrition for the Healthcare Professional[/h]Description: This course emphasizes general issues in the nutritional care and assessment of patients utilized by healthcare professionals in healthcare facilities. Topics include: Introduction to Nutrients, Digestion, Absorption and Metabolism of Nutrients, Life Cycles, Nutritional Assessment of Patients, Introduction to Diet Therapy and Nutrition Support Practices. or lastly 4) [TABLE=class: datadisplaytable] [TR] [TD=class: nttitle]DTE 101 - Introduction to Nutrition[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD=class: ntdefault]Introduction to basic nutrition in which study of nutrients and food is applied to making intelligent food choices. Lab allows students to apply math and reading skills to various areas of dietetics and nutrition practice. (Offered fall semester only.) Prerequisite: MAT007 or equivalent. Corequisite: DTE103. Minimum grade of C required to advance to next course in DTE sequence.

Hey guys! Brand new to Allnurses! :) but anyway, I need your help. I'm applying to accelerated bsn programs and currently completing some prerequisites. I need Nutrition for some schools but unsure of which to take. Here's the info for the nutrition class @SCCC Introduction to basic nutrition in which study of nutrients and food is applied to making intelligent food choices. Lab allows students to apply math and reading skills to various areas of dietetics and nutrition practice. (Offered fall semester only.) Prerequisite: MAT007 or equivalent. Corequisite: DTE103. Minimum grade of C required to advance to next course in DTE sequence. Here are some classes offered @NCC [h=3]NTR 195 - Nutrition through the Life Cycle[/h]Description: This course stresses the practical application of nutritional concepts from pregnancy and birth through old age. Strategies for handling nutrition related problems, including infant feeding, introduction of solid foods, picky eaters, obesity issues, eating disorders, the use of nutritional supplements, sports nutrition, food guides and standards and label reading are among the subjects investigated.

I'm leaning more towards the human bionutrition class and the nutrition for the healthcare professional class.
