1. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

   karmic_architect replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I worked in social services. 2 degrees along with being bilingual will get you $13/hr to start (assuming you can even find a job). So yeah, I feel pretty fortunate to be a nurse.

2. What was your game plan for the NCLEX???

   coffeefix, you'll pull more from long-term memory than you ever thought possible. Otherwise, I would have failed the pharm section

   karmic_architect replied to nepalusarn's topic in Texas

   I would skip the review course (IMO); it's pretty easy.

7. My psycho Chemistry Professor (long vent)

   karmic_architect replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's possible another student complained about the fact that you (and other students) were allowed the extra time. If you're the curve-killer, any kind of extra help you get (such as extra time) is going to draw a lot of negative attention to you an...

8. Is it this hard to get into med. school??

   karmic_architect replied to jonb1213's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree. (P.S. You didn't miss out on anything -- I did get in, and all I have to show for it is a lot of debt (!)...and a less-than-glowing "image" of doctors:lol2: .)

9. Is it this hard to get into med. school??

   karmic_architect replied to jonb1213's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You can't compare the two. The classes required for medical school are much harder and more competitive than the courses for nursing school. organic chemistry... At my school, pre-meds weren't even allowed to take A&P because it was considered...

13. Do you think grades are universal?

    karmic_architect replied to Mom2J&B's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm getting a better education at my cc than I received at my large public institution. I'm being taught by people who want to teach rather than (1.) indifferent graduate students who are sleep-deprived and overworked and (2.) surly professors who w...

14. A&P I Spring 2007 Semster - Welcome!

    karmic_architect replied to DigitalWanksta's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If your bf is already acting like that, I guess it's better to find out now rather than later (when you're knee-deep in a nursing program). I speak from experience. I dropped out of med school (partially) because of a bad marriage. I should have ...
