3. Seriously? What are they telling you in school?

   sgo13 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

   Just for the record...I wasn't directing my "I do feel somewhat insulted by some of the posts that imply that MA's are idiots." comment at anything said in this thread. There have been past threads that have gotten rather insulting towards MA's. I un...

4. Seriously? What are they telling you in school?

   sgo13 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

   I will give my own personal experience (so take that for what it is worth!) I am a former MA currently in school to become an RN. I went through a 2 yr program degree program. "They don't know what they don't know" is EXACTLY right in my opinion. I w...

5. BSN program that only looks at pre-req GPA, not overall?

   sgo13 replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Some schools will also let you fill out a form and petition to get a "fresh start". In my case the classes (from 20 years ago) stay on my transcript and count...but don't get figured into my GPA. My advisor told me about it..it is on their website ...

   I totally agree with the person that recommended "The Business of Being Born". I watched it on Netflix also. It was very interesting.

   I know someone that swears by them. She says they are definitely ugly, but the most comfortable shoes she owns. She has 2 pairs and wears them anytime she will be walking all day.

   sgo13 replied to lindzmarie06's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't know anything about the waiting list at MUM but I have heard it is a good program. I am currently working on my prereqs at Raymond Walters. I was told we have a 2 yr waiting list for the nursing program.

11. How does the dog handle your 12 hour shifts?

    sgo13 replied to SnowStar4's topic in General Nursing

    You can also look for a rescue group for your dog's breed and email the local rep asking if any of the foster homes might be interested in helping out. I am a rescue rep for a dog rescue, and several of my foster homes currently dog sit and/or dog wa...
