Can anyone become a Registered Nurse?
I never like to discourage anyone from following a dream, but nursing relies on keeping tons of information in your head and being able to recall that information at a split second and be sure it's the right thing to do. Peoples' lives depend on it. Another feature of being a nurse is that you have to be ready for anything at any time and be able to do that thing in a specific way each time without fail. These are things that may make nursing school very difficult for a person with your issues. There are many other helping careers that will be good for you to follow. I just don't know that nursing is it.
How hard is it to get your RN (registered nurse)?
Yah its hard. You have to have higher then a c in all science classes(anatomy, physiology and microbiology) and in an english class. Then you have to get a c or higher on the teas exam. Then you can apply but they recommend you to take all your co-reques and additional requirments before you enter. They are like psychology, anthropology, statistics, History, humanity and communications. Then you can apply when you have all the pre-reques done and some or all of your others classes. At my school they have 250-300 people apply each semester and only 80 make it it. The lowest GPA for the prereques last semester was 3.4 or a solid B average! Just study hard and really focus and you can do it! As far as the CNA it might help but it is your grades that make all the difference in he end!

How do registered nurses become rich?
Let’s say you get educated in Des Moines, Iowa, where the median RN salary is $66k a year. You’re 25 years old and you’ve graduated with your BScN.Start by moving to an area where nurses are paid a lot, like California. It’s not uncommon for nurses in CA to make $50 an hour.Next, work on your MScN or DNP, or try to move into a higher paying specialty like nurse anesthetist. According to Salary.com “The median annual Certified Nurse Anesthetist salary in Los Angeles, CA is $190,747, as of March 31, 2017”Next, do some overtime. If you get paid $95 an hour regular and $140 OT, and you work 60 hours a week you’ll clear 191 + (20 x $140 x 48 weeks) = 325k a year.Let’s say you’re taxed at 40%, means your take home is approximately 195k a year. Put aside 130k a year and live off the 65k a year you would have gotten in Des Moines.130k a year x 10 years at 7% = $1.9m by the time you’re 35. Now, that $1.9m will generate about $95k a year in future contributions (if we assume a 5% rate of return.)You’re 35 and you can retire, or you can leave that money to compound until you’re 65, and you’ll have $8.3m at retirement assuming you make no more contributions. Contribute just $12,000 a year and your $8.3m becomes 9.1 million.
Is becoming a registered nurse hard?
For most RN students the amount of work, as well as for many the complexity of the material consumed almost all of their time during nursing school. From that point nursing school is hard. For some students who have a strong aptitude for the subject matter, great organization and study habits the time in nursing school is less time consuming and stressful. Most students find it difficult, if not impossible to maintain a full time job and attend an RN program due to the amount of study and clinical hours required in addition to classes. Of the BSN programs I have been associated with, all have had close to or over a 50% attrition rate due to people dropping out due to family issues, stress, personal problems, or academic problems. Of the ones that finish not all pass the NCLEX-RN examination for licensure on the first attempt. In this area most RNs are making $65,000 to $70,000 per year from one full time position. Some have more than one job due to the shortage of RNs.Given that the average household income in the area is around $40,000 the RNs are doing OK. Those who go on for an advance practice degree are making around $100,000 or more in this area. I think you can support yourself. The RN shortage is expected to increase in the future. However, if you don't understand what a nursing student has to endure, or fully understand the job of an RN in today's healthcare setting; I would not consider nursing until I spent some time finding out first hand, and not online. I have been in nursing over 30 years and have taught all levels of nurses, and have seen many people invest 3 to 5 years of their life in school only to find that they hated nursing and headed into real estate sales. Real estate classes are a lot shorter and easier, and you can start working faster if that is where you are going to end up. I hate to see the space in a nursing program taken up by someone who isn't going to finish the program or work in the field. The shortage of school slots is too great.
What is the difference between a nurse and a registered nurse?
A registered nurse, or RN, is one who has met the education and training requirements of their state, as well as a background check to verify that they do not have a criminal background, and then sat for (and passed!) national board examination (known as the NCLEX). An RN can perform assessments and develop careplans. All work that an RN does is under a physician’s order; an RN can not practice independently.Years ago most RNs were trained at residential schools called diploma programs; these are no longer standard (and rare, if not completely phased out). Now an RN is required to have at least an associates degree in nursing. Some states in the US require a bachelor level degree. There is some thought that not all nurses need to have bachelor level education; the associate trained nurse is trained primarily in bedside nursing, while the bachelor level nurse learns more nursing theory with less focus on bedside nursing. The masters trained nurse is generally a nurse that has been practicing as an RN for a year or more and has identified an area of specialty that they want to expand their knowledge in. Some masters level nurses become NP, or nurse practitioners.There are also LVN (licensed vocational nurse) or LPN (licensed practical nurse). The term used depends on the state they are in. These are nurses trained to do tasks as directed by either RNs or MDs. They observe rather than assess, and they follow rather than develop care plans. What an LVN/LPN can do can vary by state and employer. For example, in California (where I live and practice nursing) an LVN can be IV certified and hang certain IV fluids, but many employers do not allow LVNs to administer IV fluids even if certified.The term “nurse” is not specific, and can be used to mean just about anyone, from an RN to a caregiver, that provides care. As in, “She nursed then back to health.” Many people do not know there are different levels of training and abilities, so might refer to anyone providing care as a nurse.
Can a non us citizen become a registered nurse?
I want to go back to college. I graduated high school in 2007 and it is about time I do something more with my life. I have lived in the us my entire life. Ever since I could remember. I am not a resident or have a green card. I am able to work. I have working permit and social security, I am and have been under tps (temporary protection status) this has stopped me from going to college before because I do not qualify for any financial aid and tuition would be double the cost because it would be an out of country student. Anyway, I want to go to the local community college and follow a degree in becoming a registered nurse. My question is, does anyone know if I may work as a registered nurse with my tps status?? I would grately appreciate any answers and knowledge. I live in new jersey if it makes a difference in states. Thanks again in advance.
