  1. Yay! Congratulations!
  2. Has anyone in here been an ER scribe?

    If your friend is set on being a PA, then I think you should be encouraging. I was a scribe for a while when I was still pursuing premed. I was making $10/hr in Northern California in 2012. It wasn't horrible, at least compared to my retail job, but ...
  3. French vs. Spanish

    It depends on where you live, the school(s) you plan on applying to/attending, and/or where you plan on working. I'm a California native who recently relocated to Florida. I majored in French. Unwise lol. I'm glad that I have a second language under ...
  4. Being a pre-med is so overated

    There are plenty of low GPA/low stats med students on SDN seeking admittance. I always found it funny how even some of those students still managed to be arrogant not only towards the nursing profession (nursing isn't an option for some as they refus...
  5. A nursing student.
  6. Being a pre-med is so overated

    You won't find nurses sticking up for themselves on a doctor forum and they shouldn't really. How many doctors are here on AN? I was on SDN when I was pre-med. A lot of them can be arrogant. If you want to see them at their "best", look up CRNA posts...

    Thanks so much for the tips! :)
  8. fat in nursing school

    I lost 40lbs between 2014/2015 and have managed to keep it off. Initially, I was working out daily, but, quite frankly, I hate going to the gym. You might find me there 1-2x a month lol. I'd rather do things that don't feel like I'm dying. I love sce...
  9. Do your teachers round up grades?

    Depends on the professors. Most of mine did though.
  10. When are you officially a nursing student?

    Precisely to the bolded. I don't know why anyone who isn't in a program would lie and say they're X student though. The people who feel a need to say they're nursing students when they're in English Comp and Micro aren't far off from those who end up...
  11. When are you officially a nursing student?

    They were accepted into a nursing program right? Hence, the nursing student designation. :)
  12. When are you officially a nursing student?

    I guess I don't see the gray because there's the designation of pre-nursing. Most schools have nursing majors/programs that require an application separate to the university, or at least that's how it is in California. A nursing student is someone wh...
  13. When are you officially a nursing student?

    I never told people I was a nursing major when I was taking prereqs because I wasn't accepted into a nursing program. Simple. All of us in the pre-nursing track (or pre-med/bio, pre-law, pre-health sciences, pre-psychology, pre-criminal justice [pret...
  14. Galen So far

    @nursehopeful0626 exactly! Being proactive is key, and not just at this school, but any. I was apprehensive initially and first went to the campus a little defense. So far, they've given me absolutely no reason to worry. :) @111th thank you! I wasn't...

    Is there a Facebook group or something where Galen students buy used books from each other?
