You bet. That's one of the biggest reasons I want to go into education and prevention. I think there are a lot of opportunities in complementary and alternative medicine for nurses- you just have...

I should add that I will have a new baby at home so time management/studying at every opportunity is CRUCIAL.

Uh, YEA, you're playing it safe- why is that a bad thing?? I wish I was as smart and focused as you at 20. I'm going into my ADN this fall and I'm 25 with my second baby on the way. Let me tell...

Does anybody know of anyone that's received the scholarship for a PT program? I'm worried that since my school's ADN is only 9 credit hours, I'll get less priority than FT students.

Hey y'all! I have about a 75 mile commute to campus and I'm wondering if any of you have found creative ways to use the time on the road to review material and study. I want to see about buying a...

I just got this in my inbox today: Thank you for your interest in the NURSE Corps Scholarship Program. The 2013 application cycle is now open! The deadline to apply is May 2, 2013, at 7:30 pm ET....

I'm due June 1st and start NS August 26th. I also plan on BFing/pumping through school and clinicals. Crazy? Yes. But it's a personal conviction of mine that mothers have superpowers. I also...

I'm in the process of applying myself. I just got my requests sent of for my letters of recommendation, so now I'm working on my supporting documentation. It's a process, but it would totally be...

For what it's worth, I have two Ws for Comp II on my transcript, and I got into NS just fine! I hope you get all of your health stuff worked out by the time you get into NS :)

I was accepted for the Fall 13 semester, too, and the consensus around here seems to be to enjoy your time NOT thinking about nursing while you have it. Read a novel, a magazine, while you still...

Does your school not have access to research databases?? :blink:

I would be interested to see the results of the poll asking "Did you take all pre-reqs before being accepted to your nursing program?" I voted no, because my advisor encouraged me to apply for a...

THIS is great insight for somebody like me who's heading into their program.

They HAVE been. I raised over $500 in a week. It's been incredible. I guess people really think I'm going to make a good nurse!

I'm guessing it's pretty integrated into the curriculum- it comes fully loaded with professional software for charting, etc.. We can get it fixed through the university's IT dept. and use a loaner...

Yes- please keep me (us) updated. I want to hear how pumping during clinicals go. My understanding and assumption is that there are lactation rooms in most medical facilites, and there's probably...

Gah! The laptops we need run between $1050 and $1800!! At least I have until this summer to figure out how I'm going to pay for it.

Has anybody waited to hear if you've gotten accepted into a program, only to receive a letter of "conditional acceptance"? I could have read the admissions more clearly on the university's...

And if she ever wants to know why you deleted her from FB, you can tell her!!

Pell grant, then student loans. I figure I'm borrowing from my future, licensed self. I max out the subsidized student loans, because I'm not accruing any interest on them, and then I'm taking out...

NOOOO!!!!! This. is. awful. (Not to mention such a slippery slope to HIIPA violations, sheesh). How totally unprofessional. My strategy would be this: Bring up Facebook posting and the...

You mamas ROCK. I'll definitely be keeping in touch with y'all, checking in, letting you know how it goes. Now to just make it through the next 8 weeks!!

Unless you get a live attenuated vaccine, which is still a living virus, and can cause complications in people with weakened immune systems or other underlying medical conditions.

Also, from what I've seen, nurses are notorious at not taking care of themselves and not doing necessary burn-out prevention measures. As a student (and a mother), I'm making it a HUGE priority of...

Hehe, go hang out in Public/Community Nursing- everybody loves their jobs over there!!
