Find out from the school you transfer to,if you will.Go to your college's career and counselling cnter.I ask for a transfer course sheet and also talk about that to your counselor or advisor.Most school transfer C as the least grade in a subject. you can also use your school's catalog.Look for the subjects you took,usually at the end of it's description,you're given the minimum transfer grade.The best option is too see your college's counselor.

I would contact the state board of nursing for the state you want to practice in. They should be able to advise you what is needed.

I'm taking my last final tomorrow and that will complete my 3rd semester. God willing, I will graduate in December. Nursing school is difficult, but not impossible. I am able to keep up while being a wife, mother of 2 and working part time. You have to be organized and disciplined. I just keep thinking of all the people I will be able to help in the future (and all the cute scrubs I get to wear).

I don't know of anything specific, but check the hospitals. Sometimes they have nurse training programs.

As a nursing major myself, I have these tips for you:\n\n1. Take all of the prerequisite courses, and all of the recommended extra courses BEFORE you get into the nursing program. The more you get out of the way, the easier it will be.\n\n2. Volunteering is great, but if you want to see what it's really about, you need to get a job at the local hospital. Get your certifed Nurse aide license, and put yourself out there. That way, you'll get to know what the daily routines are, and people will see your passionate about making a career in nursing. In my instance, when I get out of nursing school, I will have a job on my unit, because people know me. It's all about networking!\n\n3. Study your buns off! People will notice, and it'll really pay off in the end.\n\n4. Pair up with another Nursing student- No one will understand like your fellow peers the pressure that's put on you to be the best nurse ever!\n\n5. A good attitude, and good PENMENSHIP go really far. Instructors will notice the extra effort that you've put in, and will be more likely to offer references for employment.\n\n6. Don't be afraid to be scared. If you weren't scared, you wouldn't be human. It's a very intimidating thing to have someone's life in your hands. Have confidence in yourself, and don't be afraid to ask stupid questions. Instructors would much rather you ask questions than to screw up.\n\nHope that helps!!!  Good luck!! Remember- NURSES CALL THE SHOTS!!!!  :)

Call the nursing homes in your area and ask to speak with the program director or volunteer coordinator. Good for you! God bless you! Have fun!

If you are burned out being a nurse, consider teaching.  My local community college cannot train all the new students who want to be nurses because there aren't enough qualified nurses willing to teach.  We need you in the classroom!

As far as nursing school is concerned, yes, algebra is helpful, but the algebra used is fairly simple/basic.  It is mostly solving for x, or filling in a formula with values, but you will need to know how to set up an equation based on a information provided.  \n\nMost nursing schools will test prior to admitting a student, and then to move on each semester, some schools will test again.  My school drops a student from the program if the student does not pass the test with at least 95% the second time.\n\nAs far as on the job, algebra is also utilized, however, as a safety measure, pharmacy and/or other nurses are always around to provide assistance when one needs to verify medication dosage.  If you work in an ER, you need to be good with your skills, because there may not always be someone around to assist you in math.\n\nHope that helps.

A lot depends on how close to graduation you are.\nIf you are two semester or less, finish the health admin.\nthis will allow you to work in a hospital.\nYou can then work toward the RN.\nIf you are just starting the health admin then change to RN and follow your heart.\nFollow your heart either way!

Not going to be able to answer that.  But I did look at North Dakota State.  They have an excellent nursing program and I would have loved to have been able to go there.  I can only tell you to research as many schools as  you can.  And try to visit as many as you can.  You have to remember most schools have a very strict curriculum based on the states requirements.  And all schools in that state are either right on the line or above.  Most try to be above the bar because they want their students to be prepared to pass the state exam.  Check out the schools in your area first.  Chances are you will find one that has the same requirements as the more expensive schools.

He should check with the state liscense boards for nursing. My state requires approval from the board of nursing for such problems. He also has an advisor with the nursing school he attends, and they will be able to help him find this information.

I am almost sure you cannot do that anymore.It used to be called "grandfathering"  But all is not lost.You clinical skills should help you in a nursing program.Why not go for R.N. LPNs are not as well trained as R.N.'s and they are supposed to function under the direction of an R.N. but believe me they don't.They aren't as respected in the medical community either.

Almost all Jr. Colleges have a curriculum for LPN. Call the one closest to where you live and they can advise you and explain the program. Good luck!
