    Can I be a nurse without majoring in BSN?

    Rionoir replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ADNs are a hell of a lot cheaper, and in many areas just as good for getting a job as a BSN. Hospitals may require RNs to complete their BSN in X number of years, but they'll also help pay for it....

    2 year waiting list?

    Rionoir replied to Sccm24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can finish an ADN in that amount of time and start then working while finishing your BSN online and having your employer pay for it.

    Rionoir replied to Uhs_769's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the wound care suggestion. I did a few months for clinical at a wound care clinic (not in a hospital) and it was pretty much sit and chat all day while wrapping feet. Had pretty much...

    About to start my final semester and was thinking of paying for UWorld to get serious about NCLEX studying. I am looking for something I can use on my iPad as I don't really like paper anything....

    Is this legal? What are your thoughts?

    Rionoir replied to coffeecup's topic in General Nursing

    When did companies start giving holiday/sick time/etc in addition to PTO? I remember when PTO first became a thing the whole point was to combine all those things into one so it was less confusing -...

    Fearing a Mental Breakdown

    You’re going to need more help than a post on a forum. I’d seek out the school counselor for a

    Is this legal? What are your thoughts?

    Rionoir replied to coffeecup's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure that person isn't being paid for the call-off? They can absolutely make the person use PTO for a call off, but that would usually entail them also getting paid for the sick time, which...

    Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    Rionoir replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    I'm a little confused - did/do most of you get taught and reviewed by the nurses at your clinical sites or the instructor? At my school the instructors are basically like Superwoman and are...

    Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    Rionoir replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    I’m gonna guess it wasn’t what you said as much as how you said it and probably other things that have been perceived in a similar way that weren’t written down. Some people are easy to teach,...

    Can nurses really “do anything??”

    Rionoir replied to Piper98's topic in General Students

    It's not for everyone, and it's one of the hardest undergrad degrees there is so if it isn't your passion just find something else. It's not a big deal really and it's better to realize it now than...

    Got in, and failed ??

    Rionoir replied to misspy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to do some more research into what an ADN program entails because many of them are going to end up taking you 3+ years and the nursing course portion isn’t any easier than a BSN...

    Tablet for school??

    Rionoir replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Students

    I use ebooks exclusively because I can copy and paste things straight out of the book into my flash cards (Anki). It’s also easier to search for things with an ebook. I have both an iPad and an...

    psych tech to RN bridge?

    Rionoir replied to mz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There may be bridge programs but state requirements are still going to be the same, which means either way it's going to be RN requirements minus whatever pre-reqs you've already taken, so I doubt the...

    Possibility of getting HIV, Hepatitis from a fingernail scratch?

    You are not going to get HIV taking vital signs. ?‍♂️ And you probably weren't informed because anything you would've been doing that has any chance of transmitting HIV to you, you should...

    Can I be a nurse without majoring in BSN?

    Rionoir replied to 4pplepie99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are certainly areas of the country that are less competitive, but if you want to go to an ADN program thinking it’s going to be any easier you are mistaken. If you are struggling with...

    Nursing Intership

    Rionoir replied to pumpkinbaby's topic in General Students

    Do hospitals hire nurse externs where you are? This is when you work as a nurse-in-training while you are still in school. In my area some hospitals will take you in your last semester and some will...

    How often do you wash your scrubs? :)

    Rionoir replied to RNinheart's topic in General Nursing

    Rionoir replied to SNgirl21's topic in General Students
