    evbella replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Psychiatric

    evbella replied to nursinginga's topic in General Students

    Danskos are the only ones I've worn, but I can tell you that I do not come home with tired legs or achey back. If you ry Danskos, be sure to go and get properly fitted for

  3. RACC & Waiting List

    evbella replied to Student_0615's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Another thing to consider while waiting for clinicals to begin is to begin taking credit towards the 4 year degree. The RHSN program is set up with Kutztown University for the RN-BSN completion...

  4. RACC & Waiting List

    evbella replied to Student_0615's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am a 2nd year student at RHSN, and it always takes that long to get in. They fill up the classes a year in advance. If you do opt to apply for the class they are starting, you will enter as a cohort...

    evbella replied to Mommabear_mvj's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You may have to take a few prerequisite's before applying. Contact them and they will send you information on exactly what you need and about the school. I am in my 2nd year evening/weekend program....

    evbella replied to hushpupgrl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  7. qustion about getting into to nursing school?

    evbella replied to hushpupgrl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    As far as I know most all of the programs are waitlisted. I go to a hospital based school that does not put anyone on waitlist. You apply and you get in for the following year- if not you have to...

    evbella replied to bekindtokittens's topic in General Nursing

    I had to get the Landau brand for school- I found the style I got fit good in the arm/chest area but huge over the waist. I looked like a bell in them. I am also a size 16. I had them tailored - 2...

    evbella replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I currently attend thier nursing program. I don't know for sure about pay- I believe I've heard somewhere around $23. They do participate in the loan forgiveness program. I have heard it is a good...

    evbella replied to kim224's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished up the summer session - best advice I can give is flash cards- they helped tremendously with all the information there is to remember. Best of luck to

  12. *microbiology Summer 07*

    evbella replied to MelanyJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats to all of us survivors of Micro!!!!! Personally, I didn't like the class at all- half my class is failing. I have my lecture final tonight- hopefully I get an A, but it's nice to know that...

  13. ...starting to wonder if I can do this....

    evbella replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fortunately, my A&P clsses were mostly fill in the blank, multiple choice and matching. Like others have said, the major sciences are tough to take in the summer ( I am in Micro right now). I...

  14. ? for those who wear Danskos

    evbella posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I just purchased a pair of Dansko professional shoes. I was really expecting to put them on and say "ahhhhhh". However, they don't seem that comfy to me. The right shoe seems a little too tight. I...

  15. ? for those who wear Danskos

    evbella replied to evbella's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your replies. Mine are just a bit too tight over the top of my foot. My left shoe fits perfect. I think I am going to give em a go and hope they stretch a little bit. My mistake was...

  16. Difference between a&p I and II?

    evbella replied to goldenscroll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, first of all, it depends on your professor. I had A&P1 at a community college where it was super hard ( only 3 of us passed out of the origional class of 30 or so). My A&P2 was at...

  17. How does your school accept you?

    evbella replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school doesn't have a wait list...if you don't get in you reapply the next year. GPA weighs heavily on getting in I believe. I got in the first year I applied and I know ALOT were not accepted. So...

  18. Tattoos & Nursing

    evbella replied to jadedgreeneyes's topic in General Nursing

    FYI- myself included, several women in my school have tattoos, and we are at the top of our class at this time. Having a tattoo certainly doesn't mean you are less intelligent or less capable. I would...

  19. High School Junior

    evbella replied to phillykixx17's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It really depends on the area you want to attend. There are many great programs. I've heard good things about Gwenyd Mercy. Also some considerations would be Credar Crest- they have a BSN program....

  20. Why you want to be a nurse?

    evbella replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Much like the above poster- I was in customer service for years- getting grief over orders that were not shipped yet, billing errors, etc. I felt like what I did didn't have any real purpose. It was...

    evbella replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

  23. Help with a debate: What color is blood?

    evbella replied to nursemommyof3's topic in General Students

    Definately not blue. My A&P instructor made this very clear to us when I took the class. He felt the need to clarify that because all the models with the arteries & veins were blue & red...

  25. Any recommendations on A&P II and Microbiology at the same time???

    evbella replied to Victoria703's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on how much time you have to devote to studying. Both classes have alot of information to learn. It can definately be done, but just be prepared not to have alot of time to...
