2. UMB Spring 2012

   aeonic replied to kels320's topic in Maryland

   Thanks for keeping an eye on us here, Grey Lady. I can't speak for anyone else on the thread, but right about now I'm feeling nervous and clueless, and I keep worrying that I've forgotten something essential. The post about Neehr Perfect sent me in...

3. How old is too old?

   aeonic replied to Maryea's topic in ADN/BSN

   That's what I get for reading posts on AN at 2 a.m. , when I'm overtired and all too quick to relate posts to pet peeves. You are right, of course. But the quote you included hit a sore spot: increasing media coverage featuring young people in thei...

4. How old is too old?

   aeonic replied to Maryea's topic in ADN/BSN

   Brandy, slow down. In reality, you and I are very much in agreement on many of your sentiments. The current situation IS deplorable, but it's been the norm for a long, long time. And with much of the public blindly following those politicians who ...

5. How old is too old?

   aeonic replied to Maryea's topic in ADN/BSN

   LaughingRN, I’ve heard that quote a lot lately, and I blame their parents for filling their kids’ heads with that nonsense, and I blame the kids for thinking it was going to be just that easy. We now have this incredible backlash against education i...

6. How old is too old?

   aeonic replied to Maryea's topic in ADN/BSN

   Maryea, without going into gruesome detail, let me just say that our stories are eerily similar. However, today I am 55 years old, and next week I'll begin a BSN program at one of the highest-ranked schools of nursing in the country. Despite norma...

   temem, are you Traditional BSN or CNL? And are you at Shady Grove or downtown? I've searched through Blackboard pretty carefully, but haven't seen any mention of Neehr Perfect (I'm Trad BSN downtown). Can you tell us where you found your info at? ...

   aeonic replied to kels320's topic in Maryland

   Hargrove, I'm not sure, but if you haven't made arrangements for payment of your tuition yet, it may be keeping you from accessing Blackboard. I'm assuming that you've gotten your UMB login/password, so if you are entering that into the Blackboard l...

9. Anyone else a Biker Nurse? ;)

   aeonic replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in Stress 101

   Now this IS a coincidence: I just came across this thread for the first time, via this post - the first one on this thread since April. I, too, am a biker, NOAM, albeit on temporary (and involuntary!) respite while attending nursing school. But lo...

10. Have a done too much damage?

    aeonic replied to MarkieMark's topic in Pre-Nursing

    markie, i'm not trying to be rude, or unsympathetic, but from your description of your original injury and its long-term physical effects, i question your ability to handle the physical demands of nursing. you even go so far as to mention your open ...

    I already have Prime; I really hate shopping, and don't have any time for it besides these days, so, I, too, use Amazon a lot. The Prime has more than paid for itself. The Amazon Student version is now 6 mos. free Prime shipping. I hear you on AACC...

    The "Calculation of Medication Dosage" (ISBN: 9780781758543) is definitely something that just about everyone will use to some extent, depending on their level of skill (altho a bit pricey at 67 bucks). This is also something that you're responsible ...

    aeonic replied to kels320's topic in Maryland

    Tippeny, most times I steer away from "packages" because many of them have crap I don't use. This promises to be especially problematic in this program, where the amount of assignments and reading is monumental. I had already purchased the Kozier &...

    TEXTBOOKS: Anyone in Spring 2012 Trad BSN buy your books yet? I checked out the booklist provided when I registered for classes yesterday, and found that the REQUIRED books alone total approx. $850.00. This does not include the recommended texts (s...
