1. Nurse advocacy (Rant)

   PoetryInMotion replied to KalipsoRed's topic in Activism

   I feel much the same way. I keep thinking to myself...How can I make a difference for all nurses? Why do we take this crap? Because it's always been this way, or worse? I've heard it said time and again. Just seems we are going to lay down and t...

2. one semester of chemistry costs $1000?

   PoetryInMotion replied to milo2145's topic in General Students

   I think it really depends on the school. My cost for Chem (4c.h.) was over 2k, because my school is a private one. The books was silly expensive too and the prof didn't particularly like the text.

3. Acceptance letter Month!

   PoetryInMotion replied to macizu's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I received my acceptance letter yesterday. I laughed and cried! I called everyone I knew and my BFF bought me a plant and a card...she's the greatest. I still feel off balance...I know the hard work starts now. I want to do this and I've never be...

4. For all pre-nursing students

   PoetryInMotion replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Served over 10yrs in the military. I think I'll be okay. I try not to absorb too much negative energy. School is stressful enough without taking on someone else's views and generalizations. I know it's not going to be tea and roses. Just like I ...

   It's really nice to know that I am not alone. I thought it was just me.

6. Scared so very scared

   PoetryInMotion replied to PoetryInMotion's topic in General Students

   I'm not afraid of the poop, blood, etc...I'm terrified that I will invest all of my heart & soul and be a horrible student or I won't like nursing. I'm scared that I can't/won't cut it. :sofahider

7. Scared so very scared

   PoetryInMotion posted a topic in General Students

   I'm submitting my application for school this month. I feel I have a really good chance of getting in. I'm in my mid 30's, a war vet, mom to 3 and wife to a husband who is supportive. I spent 11yrs in the military doing a job I wasn't all that wil...

8. Texas Tech Second Degree BSN

   PoetryInMotion replied to ellekunk's topic in Texas

   Have a friend in this program. My friend HATES it. Sorry, but my friend says the program is unorganized and the coaches/teachers aren't all that great and Texas Tech isn't all that involved or concerned with resolving students' issues.. Just my f...

10. Anyone else pinning all hope on getting accepted to ONE program?

    PoetryInMotion replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I only have one program in my area. If I don't get in, I don't have a plan B:crying2: My DH just took a job that will keep us here for at least 2 more years to give me a chance to finish school. I feel I've let him down if I don't get in.

    PoetryInMotion replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Okay so I'm just stunned right now. I went to meet with my nursing adviser (even though I'm not in the program the nursing school handles all of my stuff because it's my major). Registration starts this month and I wanted to get in asap. I had al...

14. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    PoetryInMotion replied to Brian's topic in Relations

    I served in a male dominated job for 11yrs in the military you haven't seen competitive, mean, and petty until you stand in a room full of men (usually high ranking) trying to **** on each other. I can't tell you how many games of mine is bigger than...
