1. Parents at Orientation

   Jayhawk4Life replied to lak20019's topic in General Students

   My school has a special night where parents/family come to the school for a tour and to meet the faculty. Everything else is students only.

2. Working while in nursing school? Phlebotomy?

   Jayhawk4Life replied to kimski10's topic in General Students

   I am only starting my BSN in August, but I plan to keep working as a phlebotomist. I have done it for 2 years during my first degree. My hospital lab trains our phelbotomists without any course, so I guess I am lucky. Also I don't know about the hosp...

3. Is it possible to take 2 Psych online courses and pass?

   Jayhawk4Life replied to ccjus123's topic in General Students

   I took Dev. Psych online this past semester through a local community college. It was very easy. Mine was broken down into 4 blocks. A block included ~9 quizzes(10 questions) and a test. The tests were also broken into 3 parts, based on chapters. The...

4. microbiology culture

   Jayhawk4Life replied to patchwaiahi's topic in General Students

   Ditto. I would be more than willing to help since I am graduating Sunday with my BS in Microbiology, but this seems fishy.

6. Scared of needlesticks?

   Jayhawk4Life replied to neutrophilicRN's topic in Men

   I am not scared at all, you just have to be very alert and cautious. I am a phlebotomist(only 2 yrs, but still have seen alot of things). Most near sticks or sticks that I have seen/heard about are the result of lack-luster techniques. People are no...

7. Does phlebotomy sound like a reasonable part time job?

   Jayhawk4Life replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in Men

   Phlebotomy has been awesome for me. I think it was one of the deciding factors for me getting in to my nursing school. I have been a phelbotomist, part-time, for 2 years while doing my undergrad degree. I start my BSN in the Fall. I plan on working d...

8. Nursing Scholarships

   Jayhawk4Life replied to playmaker2008's topic in Male Students

   I am in the same boat as you. I start my BSN program next Fall, and I am graduating with my BS this May. So I am going to lose basically all my grants, since they are based on being an undergrad. I am going to a private college, so it is pretty price...

9. How many of you plan on going beyond BSN?

   Jayhawk4Life replied to Idaho Murse's topic in Male Students

   I haven't even started my BSN program yet, Fall 2009. But I plan to explore the options of CRNA or PA. I am finishing up my Bachelors degree this May and had planned throughout my undergrad at going to PA school, but they don't accept many students s...

10. Tell me your GPA. Just wanna compare

    Jayhawk4Life replied to mahkev2000's topic in Male Students

    Well I was accepted for my BSN program for Fall 2009. My GPA is a 3.22 for my undergraduate degree. I graduate this May with a BS in Microbiology. My nursing school only looks at pre-req grades though, but I think my calculated GPA for the pre-reqs w...

11. Dogs and Nurses

    Jayhawk4Life replied to Jayhawk4Life's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I just wanted to see if it was possible to have a dog and work as a nurse. I have visited different dog forums and they almost make you feel like a horrible person if you have to work outside the home. It's like they ...

12. Dogs and Nurses

    Jayhawk4Life replied to Jayhawk4Life's topic in General Nursing

    I can attest because I grew up with Brittany's, we hunted them and they were fabulous dogs. I want a dog that will play/jog with me, maybe train to hunt, but I don't want a couch potato. That's why I like Labs and Brittany's, and I like Boxers becaus...

13. Dogs and Nurses

    Jayhawk4Life replied to Jayhawk4Life's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mean to offend, or pass judgement. I know the dogs in stores deserve fantastic homes also, this is a reason I can't go into pet stores. I may come home with one.

14. Dogs and Nurses

    Jayhawk4Life replied to Jayhawk4Life's topic in General Nursing

    I have a fenced in yard. I live in the suburbs, definitely not city. The dog will be an inside dog, but will have the option to be outside for playtime. I really love Labs, Boxers, and Brittanys.

15. Dogs and Nurses

    Jayhawk4Life replied to Jayhawk4Life's topic in General Nursing

    Athena, I have a few breeds in mind, but they all are pretty high energy. I love Boxers, Labs, and Brittanys, but am open to any dog. But I am looking for a medium to large size breed.
