1. Typical cellular data use in NS

   AnnPerkins replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

   Well I'll be damned. lol My cheap watch broke too, so this is timely. Turns out a $5.95 watch doesn't have much longevity.

2. Typical cellular data use in NS

   AnnPerkins replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

   I'm a tech girl. I have all of the things you mentioned because, well, I like them and I can afford them. That being said, I don't *need* any of them for nursing school. Not one. We aren't even allowed to have our phones in the facility during clinic...

3. Starting the 4 year RN program at 29

   AnnPerkins replied to bluestar776's topic in General Students

   I just started my nursing program at 35 after finishing my pre-reqs and I will be 37 when I graduate. I haven't polled the ages of my classmates, but I'd say its a healthy mix of traditional and non-traditional. The ages of your potential classmates...

4. Real shortage of nurses or bogus?

   AnnPerkins replied to RNFall2017's topic in General Students

   According to past posts OP went to GWU, which is a respected (private, but respected) nursing school. I'm not sure what the problem is, guy. Did you fail your NCLEX and are angry at all nursing schools now? I'm really sorry you're having a tough tim...

5. Dating during Nursing school

   AnnPerkins replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

   I'm dating my husband of 13 years during school. Does that count? Actually, it's less "dating" and more "frantically trying to juggle four kids, his job, my school, and not kill each other in the process." We're romantics.

6. Amazon Textbook Rentals?

   AnnPerkins replied to longwayup's topic in General Students

   I've rented every book I possibly could from Amazon. The only reason I went elsewhere would have been because they were out of stock. They're the cheapest 95% of the time, easy to receive and return (keep the box the books came in to make it even eas...

7. HELP! Struggling on AP class

   AnnPerkins replied to nikool11's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There is a great A&P lecture series on YouTube called AnatomyGMC. I used it to help with my online A&P and it saved my life. She is really great at explaining things.

8. Does A and P II require you to dissect an animal?

   AnnPerkins replied to nettnett's topic in General Students

   Our online class had a virtual cadaver lab. No animals.

9. Too much...

   AnnPerkins replied to mrs.olare2019's topic in General Students

   You have to stop talking to these people. It's really is that simple. If you get in trouble for participating in spreading rumors, you'll deal with that when it comes (i.e. own up to it). In the meantime, pretend like those people don't exist and foc...

10. Disney and Nascar Nurse?

    AnnPerkins replied to nursephillip's topic in Headlines

    I've actually researched this quite a bit. There are listings for nurses at various Disney properties on the Disney Careers website. They generally require a BSN and at least two years experience. I have scoured the internet for forum posts of people...

11. Planners: Digital vs. Paper

    AnnPerkins posted a topic in General Students

    I start my nursing program this fall and I'm wondering which planner people prefer when it comes to keeping assignments, tests, etc., together. I'm a tech girl who uses Google calendar and iCal for my personal life, but I was wondering if a tangible ...

13. Hesi results ????

    AnnPerkins replied to Tyfuturenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Mine was on the Evolve site immediately (actually, I don't know that for sure, but it was on there when I checked 15 minutes after I'd taken the test).

14. How to survive Pre-nursing

    AnnPerkins replied to MsPerkins79's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's true and it's why so many nursing schools have high GPA requirements to get in.

15. What should I do - Abusive Instructor

    AnnPerkins replied to neuron's topic in General Students

    Ok, I just took a quick glance at your other posts and you have had "issues" with several professors. Judging by that and the irrational way you responded to Rocknurse, I'm thinking it's a you problem.
