1. Considering traveling...

   lifewithkids replied to lifewithkids's topic in Travel

   Thanks NedRN. Maybe instead I'll start the process of applying for CA license and then reconsider traveling there after the six month process. This would give me more time to practice as well as safer working conditions. Though I was so excited at...

2. Considering traveling...

   lifewithkids posted a topic in Travel

   I am considering trying travel nursing close to my house. I have submitted for a job that is over 50 miles away and would plan on staying in a hotel for those nights. Would my untaxed housing money affect my taxes? I'm having a hard time making d...

3. Nclex prep-only read the correct answer?

   lifewithkids posted a topic in General Students

   I saw someone recently post that they marked all the right answers in their nclex prep book and studied by reading those and ignoring the other (incorrect) answers. Have others done this? Was it a successful or unsuccessful strategy for you?

4. "If I could do nursing school over again" advice thread

   lifewithkids replied to ravenpuff's topic in General Students

   I am starting my senior year of nursing school. Time has flown as everyone has told me it would. I already have a previous degree so I thought converting a BS to a BSN would be relatively easy. It has been a huge wake up call. Here are some things I ...

5. Nursing school IS rigorous

   I am starting my senior year of nursing school. Time has flown as everyone has told me it would. I already have a previous degree so I thought converting a BS to a BSN would be relatively easy. It has been a huge wake up call. Here are some things I ...

6. Calling graduating class of 2014!

   lifewithkids replied to Jamaicandol's topic in General Students

   Class of 2014 as well. We started three weeks ago. I agree that there is a LOT of work. I'm also noticing people in my class seem to have their game faces on! With prerequisites people would always talk about being stressed, overwhelmed, and scared....

7. First day of Nursing School..

   lifewithkids replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

   I'm excited to start school soon as well. Don't let anyone get you down. We are SUPPOSED to pee rainbows right about now! Lol. I know it will be hard but I also know it won't be worse than my undergraduate degree was. I find there are many negative p...

8. Last Free Weekend

   lifewithkids replied to rubato's topic in General Students

   I seem to have been "organizing" for the past month only to have an even messier house. . I'm super excited to start the process of school but definitely a bit sad that time will be so tight for the next two years. I spent all day with my daughter. ...

9. Study groups?

   lifewithkids replied to lace2010's topic in General Students

   I've been wondering the same thing. I start in two weeks and I have never enjoyed study groups very much. Granted I've only tried it 2 times in my life but both times I found it was a waste of time for me. Maybe with a great focused group it would...

10. ABSN Regis University Class of 2012

    lifewithkids replied to Katie873's topic in School Programs

    Congrats to all of you!! I'm super jealous. I applied last year and was an alternate. This year I didn't apply because we couldn't swing the year off financially. I'm wondering if you all have advice about what may have set you apart to get in th...

11. Any other Regis alternates out there?

    lifewithkids replied to IphyGirl's topic in Colorado

    I wonder how many alternates took the health care ethics and are still eligible to start in January if called? I'm still hoping against hope to be called. Time is definitely running out though!! :)

12. CNA help BSN applications?

    lifewithkids replied to lifewithkids's topic in Colorado

    I've been looking further into CNA jobs and I am finding it discouraging. It seems that it may be pretty difficult to get a CNA job too. This is frustrating trying to find a foothold to get into the health care industry.

13. Is this crazy???

    lifewithkids replied to undecided needs help's topic in Colorado

    That is scary. It is a tough decision you need to make because it is hard to get into the program but you have to be able to keep yourself and your family covered in the meantime. Can you borrow enough to live off of for a year and a half in case y...

14. CNA help BSN applications?

    lifewithkids posted a topic in Colorado

    I want to get into Regis but need experience. Would a CNA be very helpful when applying to a nursing school? Also, please tell me it is easy to find CNA jobs in Denver area?

15. Take pharmacology calculations prior to NS?

    lifewithkids replied to lifewithkids's topic in Pre-Nursing

    calculate with confidence has great reviews on amazon. I think I will go that route instead of a formal class even though it is only one credit. Thanks so much!
