  1. Epidural vs. Dilaudid?

    Girls, I was just asking for your own experience with both methods of pain managements for your patients. Of course I will be the one who makes this decision, just my doctor's suggestion is only one person's opinion and I want to know all the facts b...
  2. Epidural vs. Dilaudid?

    Hi there, I am a future nurse, but right now I am going to be a patient and need some advice from experienced nurses. I want to thank in advance to everyone who will share their opinions. I will have a general surgery next week (distal pancreactomy...
  3. I wanted to start this thread for awhile, and since today I am in a particularly bad mood, I decided it was definitely time to do so. So many times I've seen pre-nursing students starting topics here asking for advice regarding applying to nursing sc...
  4. What was your favorite topic to study in A&P?

    Endocrine in AP-1 was my hands down favorite! Liked cardiovascular this semester in AP-2 as well.
  5. Can't get into nursing school!

    Well, that's just the way it is. And I think it is fair. A lot of students DO work and have 4.0 gpa. Others take loans with living expenses and repay after the are done with school. You will still have to pay your bills while in nursing school, but I...
  6. 3 Rejections in 1 Day

    what kind of schools are those? Counting classes in progress as C's can put a lot of applicants to the bottom of the list. And it does seem weird. It's not your fault you didn't get in, you have great stats.
  7. Alternative majors?! Out of motivation.

    Ok, you need to give us more info about your situation: 1. what is your GPA 2. do you have any volunteering experience? 3. are you considering only public schools or also private? 4. where do you live? 5. what about ADN in the community college?
  8. Bones, Articulations, Muscles...Oh my!

    The bones are not the hardest part, wait till you get to cardiovascular with its "wired men". For me personally, anatomy is the best part. I loved learning bones, muscles, heart, veins, etc. Physiology, on the other hand, is so much harder! I am a vi...
  9. How to find out nclex pass rates

    For my state I found all that info on Board of Nursing website. It has every school and program with passing rates as well as how many people took the test each quarter. However, you don't know how many people originally starter the program and how m...
  10. Why NOT private??

    Thanks for your comment, gpa is really something I need to consider (in terms of private school especially). I also wanted to ask if employers actually looking at our overall gpa after we finish nursing school? Or all they need is our license?
  11. Why NOT private??

    LadyFree28, thank you for responding, it was very helpful
  12. Why NOT private??

    I just googled it, very informative! Thanks)
  13. Why NOT private??

    Wow girls, reality is hitting hard.. After all your comments I start wondering who actually goes to private schools as what are they hoping for. Average 18$/hour? Are you serious? To be clear, I know nurses, but none of them I know close enough to as...
  14. Why NOT private??

    Using this calculator, my payment would be around 530$/month for 5 years (estimate of course). For 3 years the tuition will be around 27,000$
  15. Why NOT private??

    Thank you for your post. I will try to answers one-by-one 1. The job. As I stated before, it all depends on location. Where I live I know quite a few nurses (I volunteer at the hospital) and they all found the job easily. If I lived in, for example, ...
