1. Accepted! Now needing financial advice

   FormerLawyer replied to tcl0045's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh, Mclennan, I love your plan, you are awesome! I am going to go to school for nursing as well. I;m starting my pre-reqs in the Spring, and I am currently working full time. I make terrible money (legal advocate at a women's shelter), but I love ...

2. Mid-Michigan Community College ADN v. Second Degree BSN? Relative Merits?

   FormerLawyer replied to FormerLawyer's topic in Michigan

   I'd have to take all the pre-reqs at grand Valley and they are too far away from where I am living to make this feasible. I'm pretty sure at this point, I'm going the ADN route. I've done enough research on the job market where I am seeking my firs...

3. Decisions decisions

   FormerLawyer replied to smitty192's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Maybe you should take a few years off to decide what you want to do? I wish that I had done that before I got my JD. I realized, way too late, that I should have pursued a degree in nursing, like i wanted to do my first year in college. You can ta...

4. Very inappropriate!

   FormerLawyer replied to Erikadawn RN's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe she is just worried she will have to train another nurse? Has she been mean to you or anything since this occurred? I mean, she might just be worried. I know that in my jobs when my bosses would get calls about me and another job they would ...

5. Can a teacher do this?

   FormerLawyer replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You know everything the teacher covered in class? That's just the base for what you need to know. You also need to know all of the stuff in the books. The professors cannot teach the books again, they don't have the time. I'm sorry it was rough f...

6. Exhausted and Frustrated

   FormerLawyer replied to gathrightRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I found that when I am busy, I get a lot more done because it forces me to prioritize. You will be okay if you get rejected again. I have two friends who failed the bar twice, and they have both lived (possibly the alcohol consumption from the depr...

7. Is it nearly impossible to find a job with only an associates degree?

   FormerLawyer replied to Ednach's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Congrats on the job!

8. Is it nearly impossible to find a job with only an associates degree?

   FormerLawyer replied to Ednach's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Where I live (smallish town), ADNs get hired from the local community college even before they take their exams. It's crazy, the hospital tends to hire these grads because of them do clinicals and internships in this hospital and they have a good re...

9. Nursing Externships

   FormerLawyer replied to Nscorpiored's topic in General Students

   I think if you can swing it, an internship is always the way to go. If you can't get one, then you can try and volunteer somewhere? It's always good to have some experience to list on your resume. When I was in my post-grad program, i did three in...

10. Clinical Sites & Background Checks!

    FormerLawyer replied to x3catlover's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Talk to them first. it will look better and less like you are hiding something. Second, stop fixating on the fact that you plead to something less than you were charged with. Do not mention that. At all. What is on your record, is what you plead...

11. BSN or ADN? I have a chance to do either, but need help!!

    FormerLawyer replied to taraer1206's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm going the ADN route, but I have a BS and JD already, and I want to pay for the classes myself. If you are talking about 21k a semester and you mention aid, i have to ask, is this loans you refer to, or is this this grants and scholarships? beca...

12. Is a BSN worthy? Please read , I really need an opinion!!

    FormerLawyer replied to arnurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

    85k with a scholarship could get you a law degree. The average debt for a student with a BS or BA is 25k. So that's ridiculously high. Also, is this one of those online schools? Because they have a huge default rate. It's about half. Which means...

13. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    FormerLawyer replied to phieud's topic in Male Students

    I wore scrubs when I worked as a direct care worker because they were comfy. DCW is basically in home help, and I also PJS, short skirts and heels, basically, whatever I wanted. And if someone would have come up to me and said what you did, I would...

14. Starting nursing school in the Spring. REALLY nervous. TIPS??

    FormerLawyer replied to xxkmpxx's topic in General Students

    I think at the end of the day, you can do anything you put your mind to. Don;t be afraid to have questions and experiment until you find the perfect study methods for yourself. When i was in law school, it took me three terms to find the best study...

15. I did a dumb thing today and learned a lesson

    FormerLawyer replied to DawnCaprice's topic in General Students

    You can use the course eval like the other posters said. I'd like to point out that the first time whenIi was in college and I heard a professor drop an f bomb, I giggled like a schoolgirl. But after undergrad and law school and now working as a la...
