   erpeters19 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

   I find it amazing you've never seen or heard a nurse being mean or patronizing to a student. You must work on a great unit with some incredible people. I, on the other hand, have seen it far too often, and strongly agree with the original poster. My...

2. Any tips for a new nursing student?

   erpeters19 replied to mursuli428's topic in General Students

   CrashCourse is another good one to watch on YouTube. He's very animated when he talks and explains things in such a fun way that I find they stick in my mind quite easily. :)

4. How can I afford Nursing school?

   erpeters19 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

   This is a topic very high on my worry list these days. I am a single mom entering nursing school this fall, after graduating with a bachelors degree (in marketing) over 20 years ago. Because I already have a bachelors degree I do not qualify for any...

   nicuguy - Thank you SO much! I had checked the ACEN website for that information but was apparently looking in the wrong place (I looked under Site Visits, rather than Candidates), so thank you very much for that info. My mind has just been set at e...

   Hello all - Wondering if anyone has had any trouble either getting a hospital RN job or pursuing a BSN (or MSN) after graduating with an ADN from Albany Memorial (in Albany, NY) or Samaritan School of Nursing (in Troy,NY)? I will be attending Samari...

   Super Congratulations, nc0720!!! That is fantastic!! How did you come about picking these schools if you don't know too much about them? Have you gone to an open house at either location? If not, that may be something to consider. I visited each sit...

   I got my letter from Ellis yesterday and I've been waitlisted. I'm bummed but at least I wasn't rejected, and there is still hope if a spot opens up! From what I recall hearing at the open houses I attended, it is common for people to withdraw from t...

    I've applied to three schools for my ADN with a start in Fall...there is one that I'm extra hopeful of getting into and that one should be sending out acceptance letters late March/early April. And yes, the wait is killing me! It has me quite anxious...

    Hello Proton! I'm actually still taking some prereqs too. Well they are coreqs for most, but since I haven't had math/chemistry/biology within the past five years, I had to either retake them or take an algebra class along with A&P I and II and ...
