    It is no more

    Apple-Core replied to abc123RN's topic in School

    Believe me, being made to watch this at 15 was beyond embarrassing and cringy! I think they'd *tried* to make it *appealing* (I use the term loosely!) to the teenage crowd, but the soft focus writhing...

    How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

    Apple-Core replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

    See my previous post on this (page 3, I think)...I have a couple of British friends who are nurses here in the States...they feel they've won the lottery! Everything's relative, I

    How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

    Apple-Core replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

    The ones you consider worth only a nickel....what do they do (or not do) that deems them to such a meager wage?? Just interested, not questioning your assessment of

    How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

    Apple-Core replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

    You may wish to take a look at the salaries of nurses in England, where we have the socialist healthcare system (NHS) that pays absolute peanuts compared to the salaries and wages I see being...

    How to get an A in medical terminology course? (Merced College)

    Apple-Core replied to forevermn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes I got an A in medical term, although not from your school. What helped me was breaking down the words and going from there; I think that's really the very basis of medical terminology

    Apple-Core replied to Alexandra888's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This all depends on the pre-reqs that your college of choice demands, and how heavy a workload you are comfortable with carrying. For example, to enter the ADN/ASN program at my local community...

    30 years ago I endured the most brutal sex-ed video known to mankind (IMHO, LOL!)...it showed a man and woman kissing and getting naked, then had a camera inside the woman showing the tip of the...

    Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    Apple-Core replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL! I'm 44 and just preparing to enter nursing school. I don't consider myself "too old". In fact, I feel my age, in some ways, is a bonus; I'm calmer, more mature, more experienced, and less fazed...

    Can't get into nursing school!

    Apple-Core replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Could you apply further afield? I'm a true believer that if you want something badly enough, you'll do whatever it takes to get there (as long as nobody is hurt in the process!). For example, I'm...

    Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    Apple-Core replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took all my classes online so far with Rio Salado. My experience with them has been excellent. The website navigation is easy and the tutors have all, with the odd exception, been very responsive...

    Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    Apple-Core replied to BellaGrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes its possible because I'm doing it, and I was about 35 when I started this journey! It's taken my many years to get all my pre-reqs. I actually ended up completing a degree in the process because I...

    HOW MANY C'S?

    Apple-Core replied to Nanc_1996's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there - I'm assuming this is GCC in Arizona and not GCC in California, right? Have you spoken with an advisor there about the concurrent program? Entry into the GCC nursing program is competitive...

    Patients afraid of needles...

    Apple-Core replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Needles are in my top 3 biggest fears, and coming from a true needle-phobe, I can say for sure that it has very little, if anything, to do with the pain. It is purely psychological; I have a sleeve...

    Apple-Core replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HI! Yeah, I recall now from a previous post that you already have a bachelors degree, so you're study pathway will be different, obviously. Shame they don't take the online labs tho. I do know that...
