  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

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

    sasera replied to RyanThePianist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  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...

  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...

  5. Best bra for nurses

    sasera replied to iamalagirl's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, 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...

  6. Curry college ACCEL 2019

    sasera replied to Citrobacter's topic in School, College 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...

  7. Curry college ACCEL 2019

    sasera replied to Citrobacter's topic in School, College 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

  8. Is it jealousy ??

    sasera replied to JaxsRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

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

  9. Should I quit and get LPN

    sasera replied to biz2nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  10. Horrible experience with one of the Big Two

    sasera replied to Anna S, RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, 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...

  11. APA citation-Help!

    sasera replied to guest896979's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    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...

  12. Online BSN program for non-nursing students

    sasera replied to VioletW's topic in School, College 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...

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

    sasera replied to clover2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

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

    sasera replied to vmm1995's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  15. Microbiology and Chemistry at same time

    sasera replied to cysmith87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  16. Drexel ACE Program Spring 2019

    sasera replied to celticwoman123's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied! I submitted the application in March, but I am waiting on one more transcript. I actually haven't even requested it to be sent yet because the class I am in doesn't end until May 8. I...

  17. Mandatory co-author?

    sasera replied to Jules A's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I published during undergrad in a pretty prestigious physics journal. My advisor was listed as co-author, as was an international colleague of his who had peripherally given him the idea. I did the...

  18. I am guilty of oversharing

    sasera replied to Ioreth's topic in General Students

    That's a funny anecdote and one that I wouldn't mind my classmates telling me about. This might be the problem. It's not WHAT you say, necessarily, but HOW MUCH you are talking. There's a girl in...

  19. Just got accepted......Now the nerves!!!

    sasera replied to ddockery85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As the mother of two children, may I suggest...Start cutting your expenses NOW! Do you start in the fall? Pretend you start today, and save all that extra money. Stop getting coffee, stop going out...

  20. Unfair Fundamentals Clinical Testing?

    sasera replied to jbernardo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Even as a lowly fellow nursing student I can recognize your errors in this exam. You got an F, my friend...accept it and move on as

  21. Can a new grad have spidey senses??

    sasera replied to Barbie8808's topic in General Nursing

    I think, deep down, you know the answer to your own question. The commute is long and potentially unsafe, the manager is flaky...you might want ICU, but you don't want this job. Start in med surg,...

  22. Leaving Nursing School

    sasera replied to PokoMan's topic in General Students

    You're not a failure. Say that out loud: "I am not a failure." You might think you are, but you're wrong. It's never too late to start over. It's never too late to do what you want to do. Just...

  23. The Pleasure Trap of Food: Or Why Saying No Doesn't Work

    sasera replied to Carol Ebert's topic in Health, Stress Management

    "700,000 million people are overweight 108,000 million children are overweight" Seven hundred thousand million people? I don't think these numbers are

  24. Should I REALLY become a nurse?

    sasera replied to nishab05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never wanted to be a nurse either. But at 32 with two useless Bachelor's degrees, I thought "what do I have to lose?" I grew up in the 90s when there was no such thing as "STEM" and girls weren't...

  25. Military wife trying to plan nursing school

    sasera replied to daniflorida's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello fellow Navy veteran, Who told you the GI Bill won't pay for an ABSN? It's paying for mine! The GI Bill annual cap is 22k-ish per year. My school is 13k/quarter, so more than the 22k/year....
