  1. Allnurses needs nurses

    BookishBelle replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I saw this thread was at 99 comments, and couldn't resist the urge to push it to 100! I agree, as a long time lurker, that posts by the experienced ones rock! There is so much as a newbie we don't...

  2. TEAS prep

    BookishBelle replied to dreamnursing2's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I am also a returning student, and haven't taken biology or A&P yet, but got an 87 on the TEAS. I got a TEAS study guide out of the library and read through it and did all the tests inside. To get...

    BookishBelle replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely some things to think about! Thank you! I appreciate the examples that seem very realistic

  4. Dealing with a dirty old man

    BookishBelle replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I think he was my wake up call that I would have to "raise the bar" on what I find yuck in this way to be a nurse, (before I was only thinking of blood, phlegm and code browns) and I...

  5. Courses for a Pre-Nursing Student

    BookishBelle replied to htharpe_24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Where to give away my books?

    BookishBelle replied to DegreeCollector's topic in General Students

    Maybe you could put up a note at your old school? Craigslist? If you just want to get rid of them, thrift store near you? You make more money personally on ebay than half.com, but there is the hassle...

  7. Taking sociology and psychology at the same time?

    BookishBelle replied to Anaya96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion they are both very easy. Take them together! They don't build on one another- more like complementary

  8. Perhaps a stupid question - Accelerated BSN or Associates

    BookishBelle replied to ayemarr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I had to make the same decision. BA in music theory, but I want a career that is flexible and pays decently! I also didn't want to come out in debt, NEEDING to work so i could pay off my student...

  9. Requirements for an associates program

    BookishBelle replied to helloego's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To get into my SUNY ADN program the only pre reqs were chemistry I and II and a choice out of 3 maths. They did recommend A&P to be competitive, but it is theoretically part of the nursing...

  10. RN-BSN Completion time

    BookishBelle replied to ItsYourJourney's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    In my area there is an accelerated nursing program you can do that theoretically takes 16 months. Even though I have a bachelor's too I would have had to take chemistry and math prerequisites to get...

  11. Very Unsure in Reno, Nevada

    BookishBelle replied to chesca8019's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! Going back to school has a lot of advantages. You have had more life experience, which often leads to confidence and wisdom. It takes more out of you, but you really want to do it, so you also put...

    BookishBelle replied to kidzcare's topic in School

  16. Will nursing wreck my hands?

    BookishBelle posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! This may seem like a strange question, but as I am waiting to find out if I made it into nursing school I am wondering if nursing is hard on your hands? Does all the hand washing and glove...

  18. Nursing Student From Hell

    BookishBelle replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    In the immortal words of Bonnie Raitt,"l can't make you love me if you won't..." You also can't make anyone learn if they won't. You can definitely have an unequivocal talk about what will happen if...

  20. Will nursing wreck my hands?

    BookishBelle replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds terrible! I know I am naive about this, but don't they have systems to help you move people? Is it the repositioning that does a number on your

  21. Will nursing wreck my hands?

    BookishBelle replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

  23. Will nursing wreck my hands?

    BookishBelle replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing
