$12,000 is actually on the lower end of the tuition costs I've seen and heard about for PN schools. Is there a public technical school in your area that offers a PN program? I got into one nearby and it was only $5500. I suppose it's up to you wheth...
I understand that not everybody is 18 and has their entire life to sit around. I am 19 years old and I don't want to sit on my community college's RN wait list for 2 years either, thanks, which is why I'm GOING to the PN program. It's just a shame th...
Hello, my fellow nurses! I am a nursing student that is being plagued with some rather bizarre symptoms and (as many of us know all too well) it seems like every doctor I talked to didn't learn a thing in medical school. This may be unrelated to tra...

Hey there! I checked out Galen thoroughly and they're not difficult to get into. They require certain SAT/ACT scores (or get a suitable score on their test) but they didn't say anything to me about my GPA. (which was a 2.9 weighted in high school bec...
I was wondering the same thing. I knew a few people who will be doing the Excelsior Bridge but I'm a little skeptical of its accreditation and the chance for transfers. I would like to think so, but who knows? (And smart of you, may I say, because SP...
tatara, go back to sleep and pat yourself on the back. taping a little bit of pubic hair is at best a nuisance to take off. it's not as if you taped it to his testicles or did something that would cause him an extreme amount of pain. he knew what he ...
I think the OP was referring to the possibility of the technician reusing a needle. That is why I like to witness the opening of the sterile package myself. :) And, might be a little off topic, but does anyone have suggestions for donating blood? I'v...

Sorry for the delay in response. So you did make it? Congratulations! Yes, class starts October 29 but from what I was told it's basically a half day. Just an orientation so they can let us know about uniforms and books. Look forward to seeing you ...

As an LPN student (starting October 29) I am scared beyond all belief. These same questions have bothered me the last few months when I decided to change my major from Social Science Education to Nursing: "Am I going to be able to be an effective nur...

Thank you for sharing this story. I am a nursing student (who at one point wanted to be a psychiatrist) and have been heavily contemplating getting a job in psychiatric nursing. I understand this was a long time ago, but I won't lie - it terrified me...
