  1. NRSNG.com

    bitter_betsy replied to Bidisha's topic in General Students

    I found the site a few months ago. I decided that I can actually afford it now and signed myself up. I wasn't really sure how helpful the information would be to me at this point, but I figured that...

  2. How do I convince my parents to let me go through an LVN program?

    bitter_betsy replied to RockyRamona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a mother myself who generally lets my kid take the lead in her life decisions - just do what your parents want. They are offering you an opportunity that will ultimately cost you more if you do it...

  3. Thoughts on Treating Withdrawal Symptoms with Meds

    bitter_betsy replied to guest940422's topic in Addictions

    I didn't vote - I'm not sure I'm really qualified to choose. I've never done drugs myself and I haven't even been drunk that many times (insert Goody Two Shoes song lyrics here). I preface my...

    bitter_betsy posted a topic in General Students

    bitter_betsy replied to Jmpickett044's topic in General Students

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the info. I wish that I could go the Watts route I used to live near there, but I don't any more. I am blessed that I can travel to 4 different schools, but I can't actually move. I...

  8. Experienced Viewpoint Please?

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    Thank you all so much!! Your responses have led me to a few more questions if you would be so kind. So if they only graduate 25% and their NClex is still only about 87% - this shouldn't be my top...

  9. Average School Schedule Requirements

    bitter_betsy replied to broughden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually had a live in nanny when my daughter was small. I wasn't in school then, but I was managing a restaurant with crazy hours. I had a garage apartment I gave to a college student I trusted...

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

  11. Experienced Viewpoint Please?

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    What I should have said is that 3 of the programs are within $1000 each per semester. One program is a bit more but it isnt too much more. The one thats more is my last choice but cost isnt a...

    bitter_betsy posted a topic in General Students

    I'm looking quite a bit ahead right now - but I know that the current rules are changing and I want to make sure that I don't make a dumb mistake now before I start school. I am a SC resident (and...

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    Thank you! I didn't know this. That makes sense now that I think about it. My "duh" moment for the

  15. Why is nursing school so strict?

    bitter_betsy replied to lifeisgood00's topic in General Students

    Maybe you should go to cosmetology school and become that "aesthetician" - there isn't any EXTRA with eyebrows! Oh..... but maybe you meant

    bitter_betsy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. K-6 School Programs Available

    bitter_betsy replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No - but I will now. I know so little about public education, I didnt know there was a school nurse association. I also feel like you were saying that school programs arent necessarily done on a...

  20. Fingernails and Handwashing

    bitter_betsy posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm still a student, but I want to get my hands in order before it is ever an issue. When I was a kid I bit my nails. I have finally learned to not bite them, but my nails aren't especially...

    My degree is in IT. I have been programming since I was 16. I'm currently in school doing pre-reqs for Nursing. It isn't that I'm not a talented programmer - I chose to finish my IT degree because...

  24. Relocating/Career Advice

    bitter_betsy replied to aspiringlactation's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am not a nurse so I can't help you there - do not however move near the SC coast line (or NC for that matter). We have 2 seasons - hot and hotter. For someone who does not do hot well - it would...

  25. Vaping

    bitter_betsy replied to jerseygirlxox's topic in Nurses Recovery

    He is ignorant of facts. Many of the flavorings are made in an alcohol base (think how they use bourbon to make vanilla). When it is heated the alcohol will evaporate and leave you with the...
