1. OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

   sasera replied to carti's topic in General Students

   I hope you're never my nurse. Quite frankly, your attitude sucks.

2. Mom Wants Me to Become an RN as Backup... But I Don't

   sasera replied to RyanThePianist's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't know anything about music, but wouldn't a Master's in something like music education be more helpful for your career goals than piano performance? Just a thought. Don't pursue nursing; it's not a backup career. It's hard and involves contin...

3. Break up during school

   sasera replied to Nicoleashley's topic in General Students

   I'm so sorry. I've never had my heart broken, but I've been in some pretty low places where I wasn't sure I could make it through the day. The best thing to do-- the only thing, really-- is to take it one day at a time. Take the next few weeks to ...

4. Anyone Knowledgeable Here About Medicare/Insurance?

   sasera replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing homes, Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance are all areas that might require a specialist to figure out. If your client does not have a sound-enough mind (or the patience, or the wherewithal) to wade through all of this, you can direct her (or ...

5. Best bra for nurses

   sasera replied to iamalagirl's topic in Uniform/Gear

   If your bras aren't fitting right, you're wearing the wrong size. Check out a subreddit called "A bra that fits" to find out how to accurately measure your size. I was surprised with my results but now my bras are comfortable and no longer slip. A...

6. Curry college ACCEL 2019

   sasera replied to Citrobacter's topic in School Programs

   I'm on the west coast and I just got my acceptance letter today! My stats are: 2.71 on first BA (whoops), 3.6 on second BA, and As and Bs on the prereqs. I'm also a veteran and I wrote about that in my essay.

7. Curry college ACCEL 2019

   sasera replied to Citrobacter's topic in School Programs

   Since the 15th is a Sunday, do you think they'll send out the letters on Friday (tomorrow) or Monday? I'm on the west coast so it'll be a few days before mine gets to me anyways...

8. Is it jealousy ??

   sasera replied to JaxsRN's topic in Relations

   I don't think it's jealousy; I think it's your attitude. Nobody likes a know-it-all.

9. Should I quit and get LPN

   sasera replied to biz2nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think you should ponder SourLemon's question about why you see nursing as the answer. Maybe you have some undisclosed reasons that you didn't share with us, and that's fine. But if you think nursing will be "easy" or a good way to get rich, you nee...

10. Horrible experience with one of the Big Two

    sasera replied to Anna S, RN's topic in Urology

    In a state I used to live in (liberal New England state, but also a right-to-work state), if you handed in your two weeks' notice and were subsequently terminated because of that, the company was legally required to pay you for that time (because you...

11. APA citation-Help!

    sasera replied to guest896979's topic in Student Assist

    I also suggest PERRLA. It's not free (7/month or like 50 bucks for a year) but it is amazing! It's an add-on for Microsoft Word and I have never, ever, ever had it be wrong. I even once had a professor write something like "thank you for doing APA...

12. Online BSN program for non-nursing students

    sasera replied to VioletW's topic in School Programs

    Emory University in Atlanta just started an online accelerated BSN. There are set login times and apparently they set you up with the clinical portion near where you live. In addition to normal prereqs, you also have to be a CNA.

13. Just can't get in....grades not good enough

    sasera replied to clover2012's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm a firm believer in, "If you want something bad enough, you will do anything to get it." If the school near you won't accept you, then you need to look further afield. Maybe you could move 75 miles away so you're halfway between where you are no...

14. Should I pursue an NP degree? I need advice

    sasera replied to vmm1995's topic in NP Students

    You should apply. Just because you apply, and just because you get in, doesn't mean you have to go. So I say apply, do your 1 year of bedside nursing, and then decide if you want and feel ready to do the NP portion.

15. Microbiology and Chemistry at same time

    sasera replied to cysmith87's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took microbiology, chemistry, A&P1, and statistics all in the same semester. It was crazy, I felt like I was drowning, and I do not recommend doing that. But just micro and chem sounds do-able if you prioritize your studying. You still migh...
