  1. Glasses for working

    opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

    You wouldn't happen to be talking about "Zenni Optical," would you? That's the website I'm looking at right now, and all of the glasses are about $20. It's fantastic! My last pair of frames costed...

    opalbee replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    It's a few days into the year, but I thought I'd go ahead and give my goals, as well. School/Professional Goals: - Get As in my science courses. - Thoroughly understand the material for my TEAS test....

  4. New CNA- wanting to work in a hospital

    opalbee replied to opalbee's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think what I have going for me is that I'm trying to apply for a really small hospital near where I live. Their only requirements are that you're on the registry, and that you have a BLS...

  5. Science classes required for the TEAS Exam?

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

    Thanks for all of your comments. I think it probably will be best for me to just wait until I've taken my science courses. I'll have plenty of time to study this

    opalbee replied to Matucm's topic in General Students

    THANK YOU! I've heard other people make similar arguments.. "Women aren't paid less; that's illegal!!!" *face palm* Along with "well men CHOOSE higher paying jobs, and they work harder than women so...

    I'd been giving you the benefit of the doubt up until

    opalbee replied to Matucm's topic in General Students

    I see women on here all the time getting told to be strong and to "suck it up" and to stop with the whole "woe is me" attitude. It has nothing to do with you being a male. No one is going to better...

  9. Science classes required for the TEAS Exam?

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

    Did you happen to have any study guides when you took the exam? Do you know if the questions on the exam matched at all with what was in those study guides? It might be hard to know if what you knew...

  10. Happy Holidays!

    opalbee replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Yep! Merry Christmas, Everyone! I'm currently wearing a sweater with a llama wearing a knitted hat. It says "falalallama" on it, and it's covered in

  11. What to do if you failed your cna exam a third time?

    opalbee replied to dakotasapphire's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't know if this helps or not. I moved from Washington State about a month and a half ago. That's where I completed my program, and I remember some of my fellow students were talking about how we...

  12. Competitive GPA

    opalbee replied to Ty96's topic in General Students

    I certainly wish my school had this information. I tried checking their website all over, especially in the nursing section, but I couldn't find anything. They're the largest community college in the...

  13. Competitive GPA

    opalbee replied to Ty96's topic in General Students

    You should talk to an advisor at your school; he/she would probably know the most about what the nursing program usually accepts. I know that at my last college, their program was so competitive that...

  14. Feeling bummed

    opalbee replied to FutureNurseWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ehhhh, I think the main thing you're going to have to do is really buckle down and work on your grades. Each nursing school is a bit different, but from what I've learned, most nursing schools are...

  15. Lack of Family Support

    opalbee replied to Biology2Nursing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm sorry you don't have the support of your parents- I know how much I value having my mother's, and I can't imagine what it would be like trying to get through this without her. However, you...
