1. Relocating to DC area

   Kkalasa posted a topic in Virginia

   My husband just got a job offer and we will likely be moving early next year. I was planning on starting an ADN program at a CC in Atlanta. We are weighing our options because I could possibly stay behind with our kids to do the program or we can m...

2. Nursing schools in DC area

   Kkalasa replied to Kkalasa's topic in Washington DC

   We don't know much about the DC area, my husband will be working around McLean. I was going to attend a CC in Atlanta, and very cheap. So a private or expensive school is not really an option. I'm sure it will cost more that what I was looking at.

3. Back to the drawing board...again!

   Kkalasa replied to LikesToWander's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Why are the tatoos such a big issue? Can they not be covered? Good for you for sticking to your goal. Don't worry too much about moving into the dorms and living with a younger crowd. I have a friend that joined the army at age 32 and he was in th...

   I already have a BS and took Chemistry. All the advisors I've spoken to never mentioned a basic biology class.

6. Can Micro and A&P1 be taken at the same time?

   Kkalasa replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for the encouragement. I have to get all three biologies done by August to get into the Spring 2012 program. I have two kids and a parttime job, so it will be a seriously crazy semester.

7. Can Micro and A&P1 be taken at the same time?

   Kkalasa posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have registered for both of these classes next semester but I don't know yet if they will actually let me do this. Can these be taken together? Will I have a really hard time in Micro? The last biology class I took was my freshman year of highsch...

9. Can anyone share their experience on working in a nursing home?

   Kkalasa replied to heartnursing's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for a honest review. I'm not yet in nursing school but I think I want to go into geriatric care which would likely involve working at a nursing home at some point. I know it's a difficult environment to work in but the patients need and dese...

    Hi All, I'm starting my prereqs for nursing school and hope to start by next summer. I'm wondering, what kind of job market is there for RNs? I hear a lot about nursing shortages but is that really the case?

    I'm just starting out in my nursing pursuit (I don't even know what your abbreviations mean:)) but I'm also at a decision making time of whether or not to quit my current job and go to school full time. I would LOVE to just go to school but I also d...

14. Nursing School and Child Care

    Kkalasa replied to trae55's topic in General Students

    I'm all about the nanny option. My husband would love to help as much as he could but his job can have some crazy demands that he has to meet and I can't really rely on him without a backup plan. Right now I'm not yet in nursing school but I work p...

    Does anyone know of a good online flash card maker? I found a site called flashcardmachine.com, it looks good but I was wondering if anyone else has used it. It also has public sets of flashcards that can be shared. It could be a good way of havin...
