Okay i am planning on applying to the nursing program sadly the grade for APHY 101 hasnt been updated i took it originally a long time a go got a C.
Retook it got an A.
I understand the canvas situation messed things up but what am i suppose to do here ?
I am calling the registered office about this since my advisor is out but any suggestions on what to do its pretty frustrating if i am being honest.
I have a sibling who has a nursing degree. They graduated last year, got their license and everything, but she still has not been able to get a job.
In her defense, one of our parents is not well and honestly needs constant care and supervision. That has pretty much been the main reason she has not gotten anything yet because she does not want to leave our sick parent alone, and honestly I do not blame her.
I was working and my father was helping too until I got laid off sadly, so she became the main person staying home, helping with medications, monitoring, and other caregiving responsibilities.
Well, she has been out of school for a year now, and besides her clinicals and maybe some babysitting, she has no actual work experience whatsoever. A lot of the jobs I looked at online, just to see what the applications are like, want her to list supervisors and prior work experience. I was honestly wondering how she is supposed to get experience unless someone gives her a chance.
One parent is really starting to push her to get something, but it is a rough market and her lack of job experience seems like the biggest setback right now.
What should she realistically apply for? Do hospitals allow RNs to apply for PCT or LPN-type roles if they already have the RN degree? I was thinking maybe a nursing home, rehab facility, or something similar to at least get experience first.
The issue is that she is being very picky and mainly wants outpatient, but I honestly told her the reality of the situation. She keeps saying “something will come my way,” and I was just looking at her like, what are you talking about? Like market is horrible even for healthcare and wont get anything unless you put yourself out there.
Any advice would honestly help.
I took the TEAS the other day and got a 70 on my first try. I plan on taking it again sometime over the summer or fall, but I was wondering what I should do in my situation.
For reference, I already have a prior bachelor’s degree and have completed many of the credits needed for the BSN program at my local university, where I originally earned my degree. However, I would still need to take additional science courses based on how my credits transferred. These include APHY 2, microbiology, and chemistry, since my chemistry credit is considered too old. Ironically, they don’t require chemistry for the ABSN program.
Once I complete the science courses, I’ll be able to apply for the BSN program at my local university. It has direct entry, and the cost isn’t much different from going to a community college. I could even take nursing classes during the summer, and I would start in the spring next year.
There’s also an ASN program at the community college where I’m currently taking a lot of my classes, as well as an LPN program. I already have everything I need for the ASN, and I plan on applying to see what happens. If I receive an offer, I will likely accept it since the cost is cheaper.
My main question is about the LPN program. If I get an offer for LPN, should I consider going that route first instead of pursuing my RN?
For context, I have all A’s in my prerequisites except for psychology. I transferred in a psychology credit with an A, but for some reason, the community college hasn’t fully accepted it. They have it on file, but they’ve been unclear about it, so I plan on speaking with an advisor tomorrow. As of now, I would be applying with a C.
It’s a points-based system, so I estimate I would have around 150 points out of a possible 180 (assuming someone gets around a 90 on the TEAS). I could retake psychology if the credit doesn’t transfer or if they give me issues, but I checked online and it should transfer, so I’m not sure what’s going on.
I’m also wondering if I should do the LPN first. To be fully transparent, I’m 26 and have enough savings to pay for college out of pocket. I’m only able to do this because I live at home, and while I was working, I was saving and investing before I got laid off.
However, if I get my LPN, I could work in a hospital while continuing my education, and potentially have them help pay for it while also bringing in income and experience.
either way if i go the ASN route or the BSN route it'll take 2 years if i get into the ASN great.
But just wondering if its worth it to do it or i would just be wasting a year and my money if i did it.
for context i took it online remotely through the ATI website and had ATI send transcript over to the Ivy tech campus im attending although honestly starting to think should've just sent it to Indy.
Anyway how long does it usually take for it to display i know it says 72 hours but what has your guys experience been like.
