1. Paying for school...

   callalily32 replied to nurse2btracy's topic in General Students

   I feel for you. I have to take out loans for my school - $19,000 per year for tuition alone. I am getting ready to leave my full-time career for this, and it's really scary, especially with knowing I have a mortgage,etc. I've almost used up my Sta...

2. I need health insurance!!!

   callalily32 replied to cincin1's topic in General Students

   I just got a policy through Anthem. What was cool about their website was you entered what you were looking for in a plan and they give you many different plans and prices to sift through. I ended up going with a high deductible plan that still off...

3. Is anyone else freaking?

   callalily32 replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am completely obsessing about getting accepted! Until I get that letter in my hand, I will think about nothing else it seems!!! (Or maybe I'm just ready to get out of this cubicle and start school.)

4. Lotion

   callalily32 replied to mingez's topic in General Students

   I love Gold Bond Ultimate. It's really thick, and you don't need a whole lot. At home I just use an antibacterial soap (Dial or the store-brand version) before the lotion.

5. Going crazy waiting

   callalily32 replied to LisaJ_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It's first-come first served with admissions criteria on a rolling basis. They stop accepting applications once they have enough to fill the class (which does happen pretty quickly from what I'm told). I think people aren't knocking down the doors ...

6. Going crazy waiting

   callalily32 replied to LisaJ_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know how you feel!!! I am waiting too. The school I applied to is a first-come, first-served enrollment, and it looks pretty good that I'm in, but the admissions team doesn't meet again until March, so I feel like I'm going to go insane waiting o...

7. How much does your tution cost?????

8. Why do you want to be a nurse?

   callalily32 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

   This thread is timely, because I recently had to complete for my nursing school application an essay on "why I want to become a nurse". Not to bore you all with the essay, but here were some of my reasons: 1. I want a challenging career (my curren...

9. Advice for newbies in the OR

   callalily32 replied to umakemesmile's topic in Operating Room

   Thanks for this thread! I think it's funny that you mention that OR nurses have the rep of "eating their young". My friend is an OR nurse and she says the exact same thing! I am still waiting to hear if I am accepted into nursing school, but I...

11. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

    callalily32 replied to lainith's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am part of the waiting game now also! My packet is now complete and I will be with the group that gets review when the admission team meets in March. So I will no by no later than March 30th. Until then I'm going to feel like this -- .

    callalily32 replied to LiveZen's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed to get in for Fall 2007 for the ADN program - Class of 2009! I met with the nursing admissions counselor today. They are just waiting on my college transcript (from my first degree) that was mailed (I just confirmed i...
