   Winry replied to Winry's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I ended up going with the lenovo yoga 710, which has an ssd! So far so good and I got a Memorial day deal on it. But I'm still going to get an accidental protection plan just to avoid any bumps in the road í ½í¸Š

2. 2017 Laptop Recommendations

   Winry replied to Winry's topic in Uniform/Gear

   My current laptop (Lenovo g510) worked great until the Windows 10 update. I tried getting my old windows 8 back, and even had prpffesional help. Not long after that, my computer started having issues connecting to the Internet by ethernet and wifi. I...

   We have like 4 or 5 programs for the computer, plus we have to buy a preloaded ipod touch. I guess I just want something that's gonna last!

   Hey everyone! So, I finally figured out that I will need to buy software for nursing school. There aren't any laptop requirements, but I do need to have something reliabLe for the software. I want to get a new laptop because my current one constantl...

5. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

   Winry replied to neuron's topic in General Students

   Complaining about a professor and his or her methods is only going to dig a deeper hole for you. This isn't coming from someone from the field, but rather from someone who has taken courses where over half the class has failed, and surviving them and...

6. Nursing School and Technology

   Winry posted a topic in General Students

   I was officially accepted into nursing school for Fall 2017 (yaaay!). Now I am trying to get an estimated budget for the fall semester. I already have a lot to buy in the way of uniforms, textbooks, and equipment for the Fall semester of Nursing. I w...

7. To become or to not become a RN that is the question.

   Winry replied to NYCtrader's topic in General Students

   If I were you, I would start out with a 2 yr program at a community college. Depending on where you are from ( I am from western New York) community colleges tend to give the best bang for your buck. Not only is it MUCH cheaper than a 4 year state s...

8. Do you think nurses get special treatment?

   Winry replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

   It depends more on the cop than what you are wearing. If the cop isn't looking for paperwork or is a newbie, he will let you go without any ticket. The only time that cops really favor any type of work force (at least in my area) is volunteer EMTs an...

9. Dating while in nursing school?

   Winry replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

   I agree with this statement completely. Dude, she has her own life. Her not answering her email simply means SHE'S NOT INTERESTED. You sound like a disrespectful stalker, based on what you have just said. Your negative feelings are NONE of her doing!

10. BSN degree seems off topic

    Winry replied to Wayne47's topic in ADN/BSN

    I can see why you feel that way. My nursing experience is very different. I went to a 4 year college for two years thinking I wanted to be a Medical Technologist. This summer, I had a change of heart and am now going for nursing! I switched to a 2 ye...

11. Switching My Major?

    Winry replied to Winry's topic in General Students

    I know that it is rather hard to estimate, but what would be a decent minimum GPA in order to get into an accelerated Nursing program? I think that after this semester my GPA will increase to about a 2.96 up to a 3.01. (I just did the math)

12. Switching My Major?

    Winry replied to Winry's topic in General Students

    My problem is, that I am very much a tactile learner. I always do well in labs, usually much higher than the class average, but then lecture exams yank my grade down. Next semester I am signed up to do Undergraduate research, Nursing Microbiology, A&...

13. Switching My Major?

    Winry posted a topic in General Students

    Hello everyone! So I haven't really gotten a chance to introduce myself. My name is Samantha and I am currently a medical technology (BS) student at The College at Brockport. Long story short, I don't really know what to do anymore. I am afraid that...
