    jess.mont replied to IzzyJ's topic in General Students

  3. Can anyone explain the differences between ADN and LPN/LVN?

    jess.mont replied to jc109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes - exactly. Research shows nurses with BSNs help improve patient outcomes, but I just wanted to clarify what was said upthread about differences in scope of

  4. Can anyone explain the differences between ADN and LPN/LVN?

    jess.mont replied to jc109's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There isn't anything that a BSN RN can do that an ADN RN can't do. All RNs have the same scope of practice in each individual

  7. Chemistry Worries

    jess.mont replied to JMat121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two things - why would one year of school cost $9000? Please consider finding a less expensive school. Also. biochemistry is truly an important foundation for A&P, which is a foundation for...

  8. Online Pre-licensure BSN for Non-nursing students

    jess.mont replied to VioletW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most online nursing programs are RN-to-BSN programs, and not all of then are accredited in all states because of different requirements from each state's BON. There are RN programs set up as hybrids...

  9. Helppp I may be in trouble.

    jess.mont replied to Egonza57's topic in General Students

    I don't know why the university would have access to your medical records, unless you've signed a release allowing them access. They'll have access to the test they require because you'll sign a...

  10. HELP! Classes are expiring!

    jess.mont replied to Brittanydlopez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even if admission is based on a lottery, the fact that your courses are five years old and your grades weren't stellar is concerning. How much information do you think you'll have retained? I while...

    jess.mont replied to sweetcheeks2626's topic in General Students

    Chiming in to update that I completely abandoned my cute planner after about two weeks of school! I loved it because it was pretty, but I really liked having everything in Google calendar. Our school...

    jess.mont replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I volunteer as a hospice family caregiver. I don't do hands-on patient care, but I spend time with patients during the last six months of their lives. I felt drawn to hospice work and enjoy the...

  13. Tell me about your university's student/peer mentor program - I want to start one

    jess.mont replied to secondversenurse's topic in General Students

    We have a program sort of like this, but in a group, not individually. A mentor comes into our first eight-week skills lab during our first semester and gives us helpful tips and takes questions. Our...

  14. Having so much fun!

    jess.mont replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in General Students

    I finished up last week, too, and I'm just hanging out and relaxing until my summer pharmacology class starts In three weeks. It feels so great to do almost nothing! :) My semester went really well,...

    jess.mont replied to m2038's topic in General Students

    That is so hard. Please take the time you need to grieve. I'm so glad your parents were supportive; continue to lean on them over the coming weeks. You're in my

  16. Is getting a BSN during residency doable?

    jess.mont replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on the new job and school! Is there any way you could work for one year and then start your BSN? That way, you'd have time to settle into your new job without the she's of starting a...

  17. What is your week like in nursing school?

    jess.mont replied to LorvenaD's topic in General Students

    I'll second Rionoir's comment that the first semester is eager than I thought. In some ways, this was definitely true. You're learning everything at the most basic, fundamental level, and if you have...

  18. What is your week like in nursing school?

    jess.mont replied to LorvenaD's topic in General Students

    Our program is unusual in that we only meet once each semester for each class and spend the rest of the semester studying on our own. We do go to campus to take theory tests and do skills evaluations....

  19. Grades? C?

    jess.mont replied to Ehuggins97's topic in General Students

    I have a new philosophy that I'm trying. When something has already happened, I try not to focus on what I could have done at a (now-obvious-in-hindsight) point and instead focus on what I can do now....

  20. Grades? C?

    jess.mont replied to Ehuggins97's topic in General Students

    Ehuggins, why don't you send your program an email and see what they say? I wouldn't get into the technical difficulties because that may seem like you're making excuses and nursing program don't...

  21. Best educational path for older student?

    jess.mont replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you did an ADN program at a community college and then followed that immediately with the University at Buffalo's RN to BSN program, you'd be done in three years and it would cost about $25K. Then...

  22. What to study or know before nursing school?

    jess.mont replied to Broadstreetbully24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second (third? fourth?) Brad's comment about drug calculations! I used his fabulous and thorough information along with a bunch of other resources and practiced a dosage problem nearly every day...

  23. ThE WAIT For Acceptance IS TORTURE!!!!

    jess.mont replied to Tmacky2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hated waiting to hear, too, and then there's the wait before school starts, and then there's the time before clinicals start...are you sensing a theme here?!! I know everyone always says it'll go...

  24. Anyone a single mom/caregiver in nursing school?...burnout rant; it's all too much.

    jess.mont replied to adnwinter2018's topic in General Students

    You are definitely not alone, but you are shouldering some tough burdens. You are so close to your goal, and you are an inspiration to your daughter as you continue to strive. You can do this. Look...

  25. Please help

    jess.mont replied to Jamiediane's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not trying to speak for Workitinurfava, but what I think she's saying is that becoming a psychiatric NP is a challenging road that requires a good support system - for your kids, your finances,...
