  1. Patient Diagnosis help

    thatgirl2478 replied to kristen5500's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    why is it that very few students actually follow up on their requests for help? granted, it's only been 2 days so maybe the OPs get busy... but I've noticed this as a general trend.

    thatgirl2478 replied to oneday_nursepoundcake's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not too far off what you're doing (40 when I start my ADN in August). I have a BS already, 2 kids, but no job and neither of my kids are special needs - just young. I decided that the summers with...

  3. New grad salaries - what is it in your area?

    thatgirl2478 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Central IL $25/hr as reported by glassdoor.com ETA - that's hospital. I believe LTC & other facilites are lower.

    thatgirl2478 replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

  5. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    thatgirl2478 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to break it to you, this phenomenon isn't limited to the nursing profession. I worked for many years in the IT sector for a large pharmacy chain without a raise. And my husband has been working...

    thatgirl2478 replied to flocarmody's topic in School, College Programs

    Most of the BSN programs don't expire the general ed courses other than the science ones because those are the ones people generally don't use day to day. I had to retake all my sciences and 2...

  12. Who cleans the poo?

    thatgirl2478 replied to leilo0's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, if they aren't a C.diff patient, then it's just poop right? Solid, formed poop? I mean, it's not my idea of a fun Saturday night, but it's just poop and you have gloves. But that may be years...

  14. Anyone trying to get into nursing school?

    thatgirl2478 replied to RobFromNJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, if you do an LPN course you can always take an LPN -> RN completion course and then you could go the RN -> BSN completion route. However, it's gonna take longer that way. That said, maybe...

  15. What are my chances of getting into a nursing school?

    thatgirl2478 replied to Alexx462's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    ditto 'it depends on your school'. google 'your town' + nursing schools and take an hour or so to go through their admissions requirements. In my town most schools (3 out of 4) don't care about SAT -...

    thatgirl2478 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

  18. problem facing when doing nursing diagnosis please help!

    thatgirl2478 replied to auyu002's topic in General Students

  19. microbiology or anatomy over the summer?

    thatgirl2478 replied to prenursingstud's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd do micro. I'm in Micro & AP2 now, and having AP2 shortened from the regular 16 week schedule would be insane, but Micro could go faster and not be a

  20. Anyone trying to get into nursing school?

    thatgirl2478 replied to RobFromNJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Funding for nursing school

    thatgirl2478 replied to Kooper48's topic in General Students

    thatgirl2478 replied to clf1926's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    thatgirl2478 replied to FFBean68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
