  2. Career changers - is it worth the change?

    Not that you may be interested in my life story, but since you asked... From the age of 14 I was enrolled in a specialized high school where I majored in the nursing science. (The school was in...
  3. Herniated Disk and Physical Demands of Nursing

    Thanks for replying. I would not say my back pain is unbearable. It gets to uncomfortable point when I have to sit for more than 5 minutes. However, when I walk I do not really feel it. As far as...

    As a pre-nursing student and a career changer (I have been a teacher for 5 years and will be teaching for two more years while I complete my pre-reqs) I have been reading tons of post on here. Some...
  5. I am not an RN and far from becoming one (still taking the pre-reqs), but based on the description of your work experience at the larger hospital, it seems like taking an ER RN job at a much smaller...

  8. How old is too old to be finishing nursing school?

    Since it has taken you so long to finish the pre-reqs, why don't you take both micro and stat altogether? I mean, I do not know if there are more classes you have to take, but if stat is the only...
  9. Undocumented Patients

    I guess I will be playing a devil's advocate here. I do agree with the commenters on here about caring for the patient no matter the status. However, I do also understand where the OP comes
  10. HELP! BS degree, trouble with accelerated BSN programs

    Why did you take TEAS twice before? Was it just for practice? As far as the criteria of three times of taking the exam, I had no idea. If that is the case, I guess you have one more shot at really...

  13. Urgent... Nursing vs accounting degree?

    From your long post I only got one thing: you have no clear and strong desire to be a nurse. It seems like you could either do accounting or nursing, but you may not be successful based on your own...
  14. Financial stability while in an accelerated nursing program

    Yes, I have BA and MS in Childhood Education. I have also worked as a teacher for 7 years in the South Bronx. I will not go into the whole education thing in America, but those 7 years have taken a...
  15. Question about DNP programs

    What do you think? Do you think it is a good idea? How do you feel about it? When you say you are a BSN student, do you mean you are still in the BSN program or you are a recent BSN grad? Did you...

  19. GPA ruined? RU accelerated program

    I will be short, much shorter than your entire post. You said you did terribly: how terrible you are talking about? Did you get a C, a D or an F? For now your GPA is still good enough to be eligible...
  20. Am I "late"? 22 yrs old starting prereq Jan

    What is with the age thing? Every other post I read has to deal with the "age thing". In modern times age should not be an issue. If someone wants to do something, be it to become a nurse or a pop...
  21. Yes, I will be applying to Hunter's accelerated BSN. It does require a genetics
  22. So, do you recall taking genome biology (a pre-req for Hunter)? How was your experience? I just hate the fact that I will not be able to apply to Hunter due to this
