  1. Any ADNs that do not care about bachelors

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Big_Mike's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting. I've never heard of this. To answer your question, I imagine that the VAST majority of ADN programs do not give extra points or preference to applicants with a previous bachelor's degree....

  2. RN-BSN Student Knows Too Much

    Tacomaboy3 replied to NurseDrizzles's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Welcome to the game of school. School and earning the grade is more about jumping through hoops and following directions. Success in academics measures obedience and compliance,...

  3. How many hours did you honesty spend studying in nursing school?

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    I'm in an ADN program and put in about 10-20 hours/week for school work. This includes studying and assignments. I've had clinicals the whole duration of the program. If I know I have a big midterm...

  4. I have a 3.4 GPA. Should I not even dream about CRNA school

    Tacomaboy3 replied to ChooSoul's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    3.4 GPA is fine - people go to medical school, dental school, vet school, law school, CRNA school, ect. with much lower gpas. This post ("I know it's not enough...but I'm hopeful anyway") makes me...

  5. I am not satisfied with my assigned preceptorship unit

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Nabeelaodu's topic in General Students

    Whining isn't a good look for anyone. I feel like this post warrants some tough love, so here it goes: Stop whining, keep your head down and just do the best you can on the unit you are assigned....

  6. I failed out of nursing school midway, now what?

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Jkliu888's topic in General Students

    What made you a successful student in your previous bachelor's program? You probably experienced the same symptoms of your undiagnosed ADHD. I'm having a little trouble understanding why you're...

  7. Good online NP school for a non nursing bachelors degree

    Tacomaboy3 replied to dressagedevon's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The only online FNP program in my state that doesn't necessarily require a BSN is at Gonzaga University. Though, they only accept students from a small number of

  8. Nurse Midwife vs Labor and Delivery RN. Can't Decide

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really? Combative? I simply dislike the spread of

  9. Nurse Midwife vs Labor and Delivery RN. Can't Decide

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's four years long, not five. I'm not trying to argue - I would likely take the route you suggested as opposed to a direct-entry CNM program. But hey, not everyone wants to work as an RN beforehand,...

  10. LPN vs RN

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Mommyofone0408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on the cost on the LPN vs RN programs you're considering. If congruent, I'd suggest an RN program since you'll have MUCH more earning potential. Where I'm from, there's almost a...

  11. Nurse Midwife vs Labor and Delivery RN. Can't Decide

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's a midwifery DNP program without the need for L&D RN experience: For Non-Nurses: Advanced Practice Nursing Immersion - Doctor of Nursing Practice - College of Nursing - Seattle

  12. Nurse Midwife vs Labor and Delivery RN. Can't Decide

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It takes passing an exam to have that "solid nursing

  13. I might get a B in Human Physiology ?! Is this going to hurt me

    Tacomaboy3 replied to sean1976's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, you might as well quit now and choose another career path. Come on, man. People get into medical schools, dentistry schools, veterinary schools, law schools, and PhD programs with Bs on their...

  14. ADN w/ BS degree Not Nursing to NP.

    Tacomaboy3 replied to New Starts's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    VERY few exceptions, huh? That list someone else posted looks pretty long. Granted, not all of them are NP programs, but there seems to be MANY

  15. Nurse Midwife vs Labor and Delivery RN. Can't Decide

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's unsafe? Are patient outcomes different between CNMs with nursing experience than CNMs

  16. Is getting your DNP worth it?

    Tacomaboy3 replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    *Analogy, not metaphor. Had to revisit 7th grade English.

  17. Is getting your DNP worth it?

    Tacomaboy3 replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's insensitive because it reduces the black experience. Poor nurses being subservient to physicians and fighting for their independence is not the same experience as black Americans resisting bus...

  18. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    Tacomaboy3 replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sigh. I suppose you still don't understand. Also, you provided no analogy. Lol. I'll leave it at this: A patient does not have the right to know their nurse's sexual orientation. Sure, the patient can...

  19. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    Tacomaboy3 replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Wrong, wrong, 100% incorrect. The patient absolutely does not have the legal right to KNOW the sexual orientation of their healthcare provider. Find me the law, act, title, code, etc. that says a...

  20. Please I need HELPPPP! I failed NCLEX-RN five times.

    Tacomaboy3 replied to angel15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think you misunderstood my post. I never mocked you. Five failed NCLEX attempts simply surprised me, although I suppose I didn't need to say that. Sorry. And about the "don't rely on God to help you...

  21. Please I need HELPPPP! I failed NCLEX-RN five times.

    Tacomaboy3 replied to angel15's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Jeez, five times is a lot. What kind of student were you, and what grades did you earn? Firstly, I'd suggest to not rely on God to help you pass your NCLEX (and I say this with as much...

  22. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    Tacomaboy3 replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wholeheartedly disagree. Nothing about me is the patient's business - not my sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, race, background, family life, religion, socioeconomic status, etc. The patient...

  23. Was I accepted into nursing school for being a male

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Big_Mike's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Maybe? Maybe not? Ask the admissions committee. Perhaps you were admitted because you were a top applicant. Does being accepted bother

  24. Male CNA while finishing prerequisites for nursing

    Tacomaboy3 replied to Cnick91's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm 26, male, and have been working as a CNA for almost 3 years (1.5 years at a SNF, 2 years at a hospital). I'm about to being my final year of nursing school. I think it's great that you're planning...

  25. Are you a nurse practitioner without any nursing experience?

    Tacomaboy3 replied to bethymaester's topic in Advanced Practice

    1. I don't mind the four APRN tracks. But I think the NP curriculum should be consolidated into a generalist NP program of study, similar to PA programs. It'd be cool if there were more fellowships or...
