1. How Much in Student Loans Do YOU Have?

   peachbye replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

   I had a hard time deciding whether or not taking out loans to help pay for school would be a good idea or not for myself, but I finally decided that it would be a good investment because it is really the only way to achieve my goal at this time. I am...

2. recommendation dilemma

   peachbye replied to Stephanieee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would go ahead and let her know you are applying to two schools. I'm assuming that since she is the teacher that you thought of to ask that you do well in her class, and she knows you well. I would think if that is the case then she wouldn't mind d...

3. How do you study?

   peachbye replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

   I haven't start my nursing program yet (May 19th!) but all of the classes I took for my bachelors degree - especially science classes (microbiology, exercise physiology, anatomy, human physiology) I HAD to make flashcards. That is the only way I ever...

   peachbye replied to KBoo's topic in Ohio

   Thank you for posting this question! This is something I've been wondering about myself. I'm actually just starting a 15 month accelerated program this month, but it is never to early to start planning ahead because my debt is increasing a lot for su...

   peachbye replied to jr3t's topic in Ohio

   It they accept people every quarter and it is the quickest way to getting to your goal (NURSE!) it sounds like you would be making a great decision! I hope everything works out:)

6. Commute to school?

   peachbye replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would definitely keep in mind the price of gas as well, as it is steadily increasing.... I'm also one that doesn't like to spend too much time in the car, so if I had a stressful day at school, followed by a stressful long ride home, it would proba...

8. Pre-req advice

   peachbye replied to itsinthegenes's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm not sure if you are getting financial aid to pay for these classes, but be sure to check if taking 11 credits will be equivalent to full time. My school was on the quarter system, so it may be slightly different, but if you went less than full ti...

9. COTC while living in Columbus?

   peachbye replied to jr3t's topic in Ohio

   I didn't go to COTC, but I do know someone who drove from Columbus to Newark daily to attend OSU Newark. She had always said the drive was okay, but it can be an annoying drive sometimes because she would take 161 out there... and it isn't really a h...

    peachbye replied to casey-cat's topic in Tennessee

    I know this post started awhile ago, but it is still part of my subscribed threads, and something happened recently that I thought anyone interested in Healthways would be interested in knowing. I don't work for Healthways any longer, because I'm goi...

13. Hep B Question

    peachbye replied to peachbye's topic in Disease

    Thank you for your response! Sorry my question was a bit too personal. I guess my main question was how often these blood tests are wrong. I didn't mean to include too much info. I guess my bachelors degree in health promotion freaked me out because...

14. Hep B Question

    peachbye posted a topic in Disease

    I wasn't sure of the best forum to post this question, but hopefully I can get some input here! I'm starting nursing school in May, and of course we have health requirements to complete, including the Hep B Vaccine. I didn't remember having this seri...
