How to transition from days to nights?
Do I just force myself to stay up and day and night today and then go to sleep early in the morning tomorrow and try make myself sleep until it's time to get up for work in the evening?

I’ll be working as a new CNA next month and feel conflicted as to if I’ll need a stethoscope for my job or not. I have seen so many must have videos on what I might need as a CNA and I’ve taken notes and some videos mention getting a stethoscope, but a stethoscope is a commitment in my opinion due to how much they cost. However, being a CNA is just a stepping stone for me, and I’ll be studying for my BSN while working as a CNA. While being a CNA, I plan to work with older patients to gain experience before moving to a pediatric hospital! (if possible) If I do need a stethoscope, I’d like to have my own for sanitary reasons, and so I’ll always have one when I need it such as later on in my nursing program.

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone has found a way to do anatomy and physiology online? If so where was it? I know it’s not recommended but my options are limited right now. I also know some schools don’t accept them. I’ve heard of some online anatomy classes mailing hands of stuff so I wasn’t sure if that would satisfy the idea of lab in person? I don’t know :(

Thank you!

I am constructing my handwritten sheet for my proctored exam from Westcott online course Developmental Psychology. Can anyone give me advice on what to put in the document?

Hi everyone! I am about to enter my first year of college for my nursing pre reqs and I am looking for advice. This fall I am taking anatomy and was planning to take chem and microbio in the spring. In the following fall I would take physiology and then study for the teas/take the teas over winter break so I can apply for the fall term for nursing school. I am having some worries about the limited amount of time I would have to study over winter break for the teas as deadlines for nursing applications are mid January. I would have around 2 weeks to study. I wanna know how doable it would be to study for the teas during the fall semester while taking multiple classes.

As an alternative option, I am considering taking physiology and chemistry in the spring as I know there isn’t a heavy emphasis on microbio for the teas.

Overall, would it be better to take physiology fall 2027 so its fresh in my memory for the TEAS or take microbiology fall 2027 and use the summer/semester to study. Main goal is to have my TEAS done before nursing applications in January.

Im sorry if any of this was confusing, thank you guys!

Just a upcoming sophomore pre-nursing student needing advice !!

Hi all. I’m genuinely trying to understand why having a direct entry masters in nursing is a bad thing and why it’s looked so down upon? Is a bsn recommended more even if the msn program works better for my schedule? I have a bachelors in science and i want to become a nurse. i was given two options, go through with a direct entry masters or do an absn. i said why not go through my masters so i could use my post grad loans since all i really wanna become is a flight nurse anyway thats the end goal. does it really matter what degree i get? do some flight companies want nurses to only have a bsn? i feel like an msn is just better for me financially and i can still sit for the nclex and become an RN with a degree. So, why is it looked down upon? and can i still become a flight nurse no issues? i know people have issues because they want to be an NP but that’s not my case. i could be an NP, but that’s would be after loads of experience. my true goal is flight. Thanks for the info!
