1. Need info on Butter soft scrubs

   I think they're true to size. I'm 5'5, 125 lbs and wear a small in both pants and tops.

2. St. Kate's Lifespan Development course

   jnsk99 replied to Toots71506's topic in Minnesota

   Yes, that's very true. Although now St. Kate has changed their requirements so that if you are already accepted to the post bac nursing program and have agreed to attend, you must agree to complete all additional coursework at St. Kate. We were talki...

3. St. Kate's Lifespan Development course

   jnsk99 replied to Toots71506's topic in Minnesota

   St. Paul Campus. I can't post the name of the professor on here (allnurses rules). Just go on St. Kate's website and look up who taught the weekend course last semester.

4. St. Kate's Lifespan Development course

   jnsk99 replied to Toots71506's topic in Minnesota

   Toots, I got your PM, but I can't send PMs since I don't have enough posts yet. But the Lifespan course turned out great. The tests were take home tests and were really easy if you take good notes. Make sure to attend every class because a lot of st...

5. I Made It

   jnsk99 replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

   As a woman who is going back to college to take on nursing as a second degree, I thank you deeply for your story. Reading about your plight has just reaffirmed to me that I am not crazy in going back to school to become an RN, for I know it is my cal...

6. St. Kate's Lifespan Development course

   jnsk99 replied to Toots71506's topic in Minnesota

   Hi Toots, I'm in this course now, and I am really enjoying it (though we're only two classes in). I'm not sure if the professor is the same each year, but i really like the professor this semester. The work seems very manageable right now. There is a...

7. Hospital work - RN vs. BSN?

   jnsk99 replied to jnsk99's topic in Minnesota

   Bikelola, There's a second page in that document. Unfortunately, St. Kate's numbers are worse for the post bac prorgram.

8. Hospital work - RN vs. BSN?

   jnsk99 replied to jnsk99's topic in Minnesota

   I'll just go ahead and throw this out there. Doesn't put St. Kate's in the best light, but I always take statistical data with a grain of salt. http://www.state.mn.us/mn/externalDocs/Nursing/Number_and_Firsttime_Success_Rate_of_NCLEXRN_Candidates_Edu...

   jnsk99 replied to jnsk99's topic in Minnesota

   I'd never hear rumors like that, Leyla. Care to elaborate? PS. I couldn't figure out how to PM on this site, or I would have done so.

10. St Kate's Post Bac Admissions

    jnsk99 replied to mollysdirtysprocket's topic in Minnesota

    I just got a denial for 2009/we'll hold a spot for you for Fall 2010. I am pretty upset right now. I guess I can't look at the bright side that I did get in for Fall 2010 right now. I just want to start nursing school so badly, and it'll be difficult...

11. Hospital work - RN vs. BSN?

    jnsk99 replied to jnsk99's topic in Minnesota

    Ammin, Forgive me for saying "just an RN" - I have a bad habit of using the word "just" and by no means meant to demean the work it takes to become an RN. Anyway, I guess I'm not really as concerned about pay as much as I am about getting hired at a ...

12. Hospital work - RN vs. BSN?

    jnsk99 posted a topic in Minnesota

    Hello all, I'm sure this is a much over-asked question, but I am wondering whether it would be better to get an RN or BSN degree here in Minnesota. I specifically want to work in a hospital and have heard that it would be more advantageous to have a ...
