1. Would like to relocate to Asheville area, need advisement on best places to work

   vetiver replied to JRockey76's topic in North Carolina

   Asheville is great! I have to tell you right out of the gate that there is not a huge amount of money to be made here, however. Life here in the mountains is really swell; lots of local organic food, outdoor activities abound, and it is a nice place ...

2. Vanderbilt NP Bridge program

   vetiver replied to Bigranger's topic in NP

   I've been reading about this program recently...I live 2 hours from Nashville. Are you provided a place to stay on those weekends that you're required to attend or do you have to get a hotel? How often do you have to go to campus?

3. Hearing loss disclosure...

   vetiver posted a topic in Disabilities

   I am soon beginning the upper division nursing courses for my BSN. I have congenital unilateral hearing loss that is getting worse over time. My last screening results were called "moderate to severe mid range loss" by my audiologist. I have recently...

4. A&P I at Calhoun/Wallace State?

   vetiver replied to meladori's topic in Alabama

   Meladori.... I'm so sorry if my post sounded parental....It sounds like you have been working hard so far and your instructor may have some issues. I hate to say this, but I have been in class with some really lazy people this year at Calhoun and it...

5. A&P I at Calhoun/Wallace State?

   vetiver replied to meladori's topic in Alabama

   I took all of my pre-reqs at Calhoun and am transferring into UAH's nursing program this year. A&P I & II were the most time-consuming, as far as studying goes, and by no means easy. Don't assume that it's gonna be easier than UAH just becaus...

6. tips for quality study?

   vetiver replied to retread71's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm a SAHM to two toddlers. The only time I get to study is after they go to bed at 8pm. I have have two notebooks for each subject, one for lecture, one for writing everything in again. When I sit down to study, I go over everything I did the nigh...

7. How's the Economy for RN's?

   vetiver posted a topic in New Nurse

   Is it really as bad as CNN makes it out to be out there? Anyone having trouble finding work? So many of us looked to nursing for stability. We keep hearing there is a desperate nursing shortage. How is that holding in this economy? Any thoughts?

8. Huntsville Info Please

   vetiver replied to cali_nurse_1976's topic in Alabama

   Heya, I can't tell you anything about licensing and working as an RN in Huntsville. I'm still in school.. I can tell you that the cost of living here is way below the national average and way, way below CA. If you move here from CA you would have ac...

   vetiver replied to vetiver's topic in NP

   Good question OC85. I've been wondering that.

10. Torn over FNP or MD...

    vetiver replied to vetiver's topic in NP

    Thanks to everyone who replied. I plan to get my BSN, and by then I should have a better idea about which way to go. I've read that a BSN is a bad undergrad to have before applying to med school, which seems strange to me. I know the nurse/med appro...

11. Torn over FNP or MD...

    vetiver posted a topic in NP

    I'm currently pre-nursing. I have been interested in being a doctor for many years, but all the chemistry scared the bejeezus out of me. So I have planned to go for FNP, instead. The trouble is....I have this nagging feeling that I am not a nurse-pe...

12. Holistic NP jobs?

    vetiver posted a topic in Holistic

    I am beginning nursing school next fall after a change of careers. I really, really want to be an NP with training in holistics and nutrition, maybe even herbalism/homeopathy...but how do you get ACCREDITED training in holistic medicine? My husband i...

13. School + Work + Mom = Goin Nuts?

    vetiver replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Spidey's Mom posted some great resources! The no cry sleep method worked for me and my twins within a week. I was up every 45 minutes with them for a few months and I thought I would jump out the window. This is some great advice that my LC gave me a...

    vetiver replied to Butterfly2112's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm a SAHM to 22 month old twins. I haven't started my nursing program yet, still doing prereqs. I'm getting ALL non-nursing and Bio classes done at a CC before nursing craziness begins, then I plan to transfer to a university BSN-MSN program. The ...

15. Grrr..I was so sure...

    vetiver posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am working on my pre-req's at a CC where I had planned to get my ADN. I figured that I could start working sooner that way, then get my RN-BSN-MSN through UABirmingham. Should I rush to get a license and a job, or just focus on getting through sc...
