  2. What to do...

    I am going for my rn at a diploma school starting August. I am just thinking ahead, obviously. I have recently been doing research to be a forensics nurse and I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about this. Do I have to get my bachelors firs...
  3. no random drug testing

    I cannot believe that anyone would really find something so minuscule as weed more important to their lives than their career that brings food to their table and a roof over their head. I believe you need to check, then recheck your priorities.
  4. Nursing Is My Dream, However..

    Start taking prereqs to get your GPA up, maybe try different nursing schools in more rural areas. It seemed to be easier for me to get in due to the area I live in from more populated ones.

  6. Part time work and Nursing program?

    I am also heading to school in the fall, and plan on working 16-20 hours a week. My school is in a hospital and offers half off tuition if you work at minimum 160 hours a semester. They also give you a casual position so you can arrange your hours fo...
  7. medical terminology

  8. Leave college for a year to become LPN at ECPI?

    I feel that going to school for your lpn when you're already on track for your rn is a step backwards. Instead of taking out 10k in loans to get your lpn and waste a year. Maybe try taking out a personal loan for 10k and use it for living expenses. H...

  12. Working and nursing school?

    Hodgie, I am quite fortunate to have 0 need for a lot of friends. At most my boyfriend and I have another couple over once a week. We hardly care to leave the house or do much. It is just our nature. He lives with me, so factoring in time for him is ...
  13. Working and nursing school?

    Thank you Sox, I felt a little attacked by her comment there. And 20 hours is the most I will be working. I actually have awesome time management skills. (: I'm going to try to save up enough to cover my car payments while in school. Then if I can't...
  14. Working and nursing school?

    Cnmfba, Well, that was a little sassy. Used cars still cost money, which is what I got. I had to get a newer used car due to that is all they will finance me for with little credit, being 20 years old and just starting out. Not sure if you understand...
  15. Working and nursing school?

    Miiki, thanks for the advice. I'm already in the health care as a home health aid, but I have to switch to a job at the hospital once I start school. And that will be a great experience.
